I've just found some behind the scenes Video on youtube, and the only camera that I can spot, is the Alexa. Even if they did shoot some scenes on F65, It seems rather bizarre that a production would choose to mix an F65 with Alexa.... and then only credit the F65. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tURA2M9VjXM

According to the IMDB technical specifications ( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4972582/technical?ref_=tt_dt_spec)and various marketing posts by Sony Cinealta's Twitter(https://twitter.com/SonyCineAltaEU/status/822415916982009857) account which also state that Split was shot on the F65 And yet, despite all of the aforementioned, according to the DOP himself; Mike Gioulakis at a recent Q&A, he only mentioned the Arri Alexa XT and Fujinon Zooms as the camera/lens combo used to shoot the picture. I'm wondering if this was a botched endorsement deal, or just a complete misunderstanding?

I had no idea that you had gotten rid of your F65. Going in for a Non-Sony Camera?

Well, what initially drew me to the Sony F65 over the Alexa XT, was the 2014 Palme d'Or winning film; Winter Sleep, I really fell in love with texture and colors that the camera delivered. Before that point, I was on the fence. Now having owned the both F65's for a couple of years, and having often faced a total lack of support from Sony when things go awry with their camera systems, I'm again on the fence as to whether to jump ship for the SXT or wait for Sony's next flagship announcement... Which I've heard through a valid source will be 4th quarter 2017 with release in early 2018.

Hi Alex, Where did you source that diagram for the F65 Air Filter assembly? Do you by chance have a repair manual for the camera? The shutter on my camera has gone haywire again after having already been replaced last year, would love to see a diagram for accessing it. Another $16,000 to the service center for repair is out of the question. I have access to a new rotary shutter - just not sure how to install it.

The above BladeRunner refference was acheived by reflecting light off a 12x20 Bleached muslin, the lights were positions at both the right and left flank. The harder shaft of light hitting the table was acheived with a large fernel that was positioned behind and above the muslin angeled directly through the right secetion of window, the spill was flagged.

The sony F65 is also a camera that is superior in every possible way, except for "size" to anything Red has put out, unfortunetely, you couldn't pay people to rent it.... A Sony rep told me that they've recently discontinued production of the camera... Hopefully, Sony get's the marketing right on the F65 successor... All in all, unless the work and or rental clients are lined up, and these contacts have been secured, the purchasing of a camera system can otherwise prove to be a very poor investment choice...

Favorite camera to have on hand for personal projects: Leica MP with various tungsten balanced films. For scouting: 5D MK III Though I also shoot a good deal with my Sony F65 and F35 when time allows.
