That's unfortunate...

Dom, Thanks for your response. I heard that 18mm lens doesn't clear the mirror shutter. Are RPPs even compatible with Arri 35mm cameras? Thank you.

Hello everyone, I have a shoot coming up on 35mm. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with RPPs. Are they any good in terms of resolution, witness marks, etc.? Thanks in advance.

I was operating my personal camera BL4s on a project I was hired on as the dp. Yesterday, 90% of the day was handheld, and it was really beneficial for my 1st to grab the camera from me between takes.

Steve, 2/3 overexposure for 13 stock is 125 ASA not 160. 160 ASA is more like 1/3 of a stop overexposure. Also, when you shoot, expose for shadows since you can bring highlight details back later on. This way, you can avoid excessive shadow grain build-up.

That makes sense Mr. Mullen. My personal opinion is that digital lacks the dimensionality of film. It looks sharp but there is some sort of veil that makes images flat in comparison to film. When I saw "Skyfall" sure it has nice photography but not the depth and richness of Deakins' previous works on film such as The Assassination of Jessie James."

I love it when I see people say stuff like, people shoot on film to achieve a retro look. What do you mean by that exactly? I watched "Django Unchained" and "Cloud Atlas" just yesterday, and don't think they looked retro at all.

You can place your top light source off to the side of a chandelier, not directly above it.

I agree with Bill. I saw some of the sample clips, and am not impressed. I can get way sharper and pleasing images with Sr3.

Turin Horse, a beautiful black and white Hungarian film. It's on Netflix, strongly recommend you see it.

I agree with you. What I meant was I thought you'd like to shoot on digital before film.

I'm glad you said you would have liked to shoot it on 35. I'm kind of surprised, I thought you were more pro digital person.

Hello everyone. I am looking for a CP 16 viewfinder extension tube to use on my NPR camera. Please contact me if you have one. Thanks.

Hey everyone, I've been looking into Contax Zeiss 25 and Rokinon 24 to use on my super 16 camera. Both of those lenses' witness marks start from 2 -3 ft and then Infiniti. Is there any trick to tape measure and pull focus on those lenses?

Yes it is to measure distances for focus. That's what I have been doing, but am just curious if I'm blind or the camera doesn't have a focal plane mark.

Hey everyone. Does anyone know where the focal plane on NPR located? I measure from pretty much the gate, but can't see the actual focal plane symbol on it.

I shot it on eclair NPR u16 with a rokinon 35mm lens obviously with a c to canon ef adapter on 7213 stock.

I just confirmed with Kodak that the new Star Wars trilogy will be on film. So, film is most definitely not dead.

I actually talked to my point of contact in Kodak. She said the trilogy will be on film. Of course, it is still 95 percent since the production is still far ahead, but for now it is locked on film. Also, I heard that they will be using models mostly, which is great news.

I heard rumors that the episode 7 will be shot on film. I wonder if anyone else heard anything about this.

Really? I heard nothing but bad things about Man of Steel.
