Dear Dom Jaeger, thank you very much this is excellent! I will let you know how it comes out James

Hello- Has anyone designed a really great and thorough test (registration, more) when buying a new camera? I have this great CP16 in excellent condition and want to shoot some 250D this week. I hope ultimately to convert this camera to Ultra 16- I just love the idea of it and the workflow with the digital intermediary. Thanks, James

...really? is that true? I'd like a few references on that point. I'd like it to be true, but it's not what i hear. Even Jean in this thread says yes and no..

Thank you Ian! What a nice response! I truly appreciate it! Actually your footage looked to be the best of anything I've ever seen shot with the thing. I am interested in a clockwork camera to play Dr. Frankenstein with. I know that the Bolex's can go pretty deep in that respect- I just feel that the K- should have the same traction in some sense. Your footage was very clean and steadily shot. Rich color- although it seemed to me that some ND kind of darked it.. or something. Looked like a sunny day yet the shots were a little coolish looking. I loved it though. The subject was completely charming and I had to let it play and play. I'll let you know what cockamamy scheme I come up with for fun. looking at the filmos too. All the BEst, James

Hi there- this is my first post- and a bit of an odd one, however, i must ask. Has anyone... ever... shot anything professional on a Krasnogorsk, K-1,2, or 3? I should qualify that to mean, specifically, anything of good quality? (I understand the meaning of subjectivity, but this is a Cinematography forum and it is full of good-natured and encouraging people) I would just like to see somebody workin' it to the max. It's hard to tell if the camera is capable of great images as so many users are beginners just getting their chops up. I know that the camera has no registration pin, but would love to see the best work ever done with the thing. Also, I saw one company tricking out a K-1: http://www.owyheesound.com/krasnogorsk.php would love to know more about that. I am a tinkerer and am interested in the potential of the Russian cameras for which so many have affection. Is it just nostalgia? A longing for the days when then were starting out? Or is there any real potential in the K series. Thanks Everyone. I love this Cinematography.com and read it all the time. James

that is some lovely composition- good work! That HV30- really very nice!
