I believe it's a 19 mount based on other lenses which have close serial numbers and look the same: https://sites.google.com/site/olexservicelenses/home/new-solutions/lomo-prime-spherical-konvas-2m

Who's the artist?

Thanks guys for the tips! I think I just might go save a few bucks. :) -Dave

I am looking to build a grip belt kit and was wondering where's the cheapest place around LA to pick up some gear. Thanks! -Dave

Darn, I was afraid to hear that. I didn't really want to wait for buying online. But I guess that's why you pay the premium. :) -David

Hey guys, I am not able to find the American Cinematographer Manual (9th edition), at either Borders or Barnes & Noble around here. Anyone have an idea where I could pick this up in the LA area? Thanks! -David Frank

LOL. How dare you compare Manute Bol to that hack Uwe!

You don't see the resolution loss, but you do see when they switch to the close up of the sports writers. They are shown full screen several times in the program. They are definitely shot normally and just cropped for the screens. As for the idea of shooting portrait, it has been something on my mind for quite a while. Obviously delivery of the video is the important part(how it's shown). I think an experimental video shown on the web is the way to go. That is unless you can convince all your viewers to turn their TVs sideways. :)

I really like the color palette , but every shot looks too closely cropped. It looks as if it was shot in 4x3 without a clear idea of how much would eventually be cropped in post. It seems like a 1.78 or so ratio would be more fitting. Good stuff! -dave

Thank you very much! Always have to be completely sure. -dave

Hi, I am shooting a project for a cinematography class tomorrow on 16mm b+w film. I am using the stocks 7222 and 7231(for outdoor scenes). We are using the Bolex H16 cameras with the prism reflex systems. We have been taught to compensate for the light loss on the camera by 2/3's of a stop. So when shooting 7222(200asa) we meter for 133asa. But I was looking at the ASA rating of the 7231 which is 80-daylight and 64-tungsten. I am racking my brain trying to figure out what I should meter for with this stock when shooting outside. I thought I remember metering it as 50ASA on previous projects, but I have forgotten(so has my group members). Any thoughts? -David Frank

Very true. That footage at the Arri booth was simply stunning. It's just not a fair comparison. You get what you pay for.

Thanks for the great suggestions guys. I will call up Monaco ASAP!

Why don't you got rent one for a couple of days? For my first feature, I rented a monitor on a Friday, returned it on Monday for not much cash at all, and the color looked fantastic. Just check pro video rental houses. They have them all over.
