Hey all! I've been trying really hard to figure out how Olivier Fontenay works as a colorist. Everything he grades has this amazing pastel, faded blacks, low contrast look which is absolutely amazing. I asked a lot of people about it, but no one has been able to help me out with more complex tips on getting shots to look like his. Lion (Shot on Alexa with Vintage Lenses), is the movie he really excelled earning Greig Fraser a nomination for Best Cinematography. Here's a quote from him: “That's why I believe Greig Fraser deserved the Oscar nomination and the ASC Award for this film. He was taking a risk – exposing down but not too much, almost to the point where you could see the noise when you were raising the brightness of the image. This meant I could pull the blacks down and really work on them. Although you can't actually see the noise, you can feel that something is there and have the impression that you are seeing film grain. It doesn't look noisy, but it gives the image a special texture and feeling. I've attached some screenshots here, so if any colorist can give me some more technical advice rather than just fading blacks, or even help develop a LUT, that would be amazing. I've been shooting on Amira in LogC with so should be able to get a very similar look.

Hi, I’m just wondering if anyone knows about the filmgear brand lighting (I think it’s Chinese) and if it is any good? I’m looking at getting there 800w HMI par because I really like punchy daylight balanced lights for streaks of light.

Hi Dom, Thanks for this I'll send them a message! It's amazing how expensive these mounts are but if they're quality and I can just buy one adapter for a set of lenses it will be worth it. Kind regards, Robbie

Hi, I have a set of Cooke Speed Panchros in their original Arri standard mount. And I've been looking at the best adapters to make them into a PL mount, and have come across an issue where almost all of the adapters don't fit in an Arri Amira's PL mount. Does anyone know of the best PL mount adapters for the Cooke Speed Panchro lenses which is affordable? It seems the normal arri standard to pl mount adapter doesn't rotate and so you need the one with the tab to allow rotation of the barrel. Any help would be appreciated! Kind regards, Robbie

Hi Stuart, Thanks for your reply it was very helpful. I'll have a word with Dom too!

Hi, I'm in the process of buying some used Cooke Speed Panchro lenses and have found that a lot of the available ones have haze and fungus. How difficult is haze and fungus to remove from a Cooke Speed Panchro lens, and are there services which would do this? How much would they cost? I'm located in Sydney, Australia. Any help would be much appreciated!!

Hi, I'm looking to buy an Arri Amira EF lens mount (K2.0001103). Or any with an electronic aperture. Located in Sydney, Australia. Looking at paying under $2000 AUD Kind regards, Robbie

Hi all, Thanks for all the help! I am looking at paying about $30000 AUD for an Amira under 3000 hours with a 4k premium license. The main problem is the Australian dollar currently for purchasing from the US, hopefully that changes soon as there are some good prices there. If anyone can supply me an Amira with those specifications that would be amazing! Kind regards, Robbie

Thanks Jeff! If it's in AUD then I'm definitely interested! How many hours?

Hi, I'm a freelance cinematographer looking at purchasing a used Arri Amira at a good price. I'm located in Sydney, Australia. Any advice or help would be much appreciated!

Thanks Dom! Yea I really love the look of these lenses. You haven’t found a cheap way for me to get a set of Cooke Speed Panchros yet have you? Haha. I’m serious about buying some!

Hi! I'm particularly a fan of the cinematography in the movie "Her", shot by Hoyte Van Hoyema, and I read that he used a variety of lenses including Cooke Speed Panchros, Canon K35's and Zeiss Super Speeds on the Alexa. One of the truly memorable shots I have attached here as I'm wondering if anyone could identify the lens used here based purely on the bokeh. To me they look like Super Speeds but I'm just looking for some opinions. I've wanted to buy some Cooke Speed Panchros for a long time but was wondering if anyone knew which scenes in this film were shot with which lens? Thanks!

Yea I thought so. Absolutely love the cinematography in this film! It'd be interesting to see exactly how he achieved the effect!

Thanks so much everyone, I have tried a few different methods and its looking pretty good :) Does anyone know if the same thing was done in "The Theory of Everything" or was there filters in this case:

Thanks David! I'd love to know how to do that effect in post. It's very cool!!

I'm interested to know how Andrew Lesnie achieved the "highlight blooming" effect throughout the Hobbit trilogy. Did he use a filter (pro mist?), net his lens or was the effect done in post? Either way, the footage is very lovely and it was shot on an old Red Epic camera with Zeiss Ultra Primes. I had the privilege of talking to Andrew before he passed away at an ACS meeting in Sydney a few years ago, but I never got to ask him how he achieved this effect.

Thanks so much for your answers everyone they are really helpful!! So it seems they really aren't a good option to be "purchased" but rather rented at this point because of the prices and also inconsistencies in quality from used ones. I was looking at an EF mount so that I could use it on more cameras since PL seems quite limiting. I was really only looking at purchasing a few lenses like a 25mm, 32mm and 50mm and getting them for cheaper being not rehoused. I don't mind having small barrels and non professional marks since it seems worth the quality for a cheaper amount.

I'm looking at investing in some old Cooke Speed Panchros and I've heard that they come with an Arri Mitchell mount? I'm really confused about these older mounts. I'm wondering if these lenses can be adapted to EF and how much it would cost? Also, are they optically not great now from being so old? http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Cooke-Speed-Panchro-50mm-f2-T2-3-Ser-11-II-lens-39XXXX-Arri-Mitchell-mt-Nice-/182696384953?hash=item2a898d99b9:g:CDcAAOSwfpVZLZWD
