  1. My point exactly. can you manipulate V-raptor footage to look better than Alexa’s? Certainly! does some people just love their cameras because they are idiots? For sure. Granted, except for “Railway to Mauritania” I’m yet to see someone really maxing out the F35. But there are for sure better cameras today. just not the same camera ? C
  2. Great. I literally didn’t say you didn’t have money. I just say you sounded sore about it. It’s a sellers market. If you think it is a shit camera worth less and can’t find a proper forum to buy it, that’s on you ? I see complete F65 packages for less than 5k, if you look hard enough. C
  3. Yeah, it comes more across like you are just sore about this. Most of us owners look at them like a classic car we still use. And therefore we treasure them. As you said, there are a buttload of F3, F55, and Alexa classics. Take your pick and keep shooting. Don’t be mad because we like taking care of ours ? (I just made mine run on TB50s, Ronin battery, to get better runtime) C
  4. Point being? Half of the current owners are art film makers, the other spread out on eccentrics/passion lovers of the camera. Even an Alexa is a hard sell for a client nowadays since FX3 is had for pocket change. C
  5. Well. It was the last true CCD cam out there, so if that is your flavor, it’s the only option. And arguably the cleanest 1080p/2k image out there you can get. The footage looks unique. And only 213 was actually made, so there is a limited supply, which isn’t increasing. And finally, you are just looking in the wrong places. I got mine for $3700 with an odyssey 7q included. The ones posted on eBay is just there to prove a point. Most sell for $4000-5000. I love mine, and I will probably never sell it. I spent more on it then I bought it for, but it’s a tank. I bet Mr Mullen has his own opinion on this, but Mr Yedlin recently said in a podcast that the F35 was a camera the world gave up on too quickly, it actually is a great cam, just needed some more love. C
  6. Hey, I bet I can find someone in here that has some experience making their own gamma curve in the CVP_file editor. I would love to pick you brain about it. I have fiddled around a bit already, and it seem creating a faux-SLOG3 isn't too hard. Same goes for LOG_C even. C
  7. Looking for an Sony Sr-R1, with accessories preferably. And no, not the SR-R4, the R1 specifically. C
  8. Did you do any moiré tests? C
  9. Did you ever find a solution to this? Considering getting a G444 soon and sort of want to figure out the pitfalls ahead of time. C
  10. Know it is an old thread but would you still stand by this David? C
  11. Hi, I have been trying to read up on this but it seems I can't find anything. So forgive me if this has been answered before. How do you actually do the “mirror gag” much like I attached here. I know skyfall was big budget, so if the answer is just masking and blue screen I get it, but I do know there are quite a few that has done this practical. C
  12. Let’s the the usual talk out of the way. Yes I know PV is PV, but I have see. These EVFs in the wild since after Panavision threw them out. Heck I have even seen two PV genesis is private possession. With that known. I am looking for the Panavision EVF for the F35. I have been looking at aftermarket ones as well, but seems they aren’t worth the effort. //C
  13. Hi, I’m trying to find if anyone happen to have an old service manual or anything similar on how to take apart the F35. I am in the midst of getting my own but I want to be able to figure out how to service it myself. And potentially replace any broken parts (such as fans and so on). //C
  14. First things first. I can’t speak about other cameras, but Les has ZERO customer service, and QC. He supposedly converted my previous ACL to a super 16, but did not alter the timing, nor adjust the shutter (which Bernie at Super 16 inc said is a minimum). When I sent it back to him, on my dime, from California, he didn’t fix it, just shipped it back, said it was ok, and stopped replying to emails. Horrible treatment and would never advice anyone to send their gear there. as for you going anamorphic. You have a lot of options because it is c-mount. I tried it with the Panasonic adapter on front and it sort of worked. My lens had a spinning front element so it looked a bit weird, but I made it work. A friend of mine tried the SLR magic route, but regardless, there are a lot of options out there with front mounted elements. I would probably see if I could mount a front mount to a set of Veydra primes and go from there...
  15. Sorry should have added that. Arri-B C
  16. I know this is probably not the right time to sell this but since I sold my Eclair this have been collecting dust. She looks a bit worn, and front element has a little nick, but last footage I saw from this still looked great. This is a R16 lens. Also included is an adapter from RAF camera to use screw in 77mm filter. (I had an anamorphic adapter on the front element before) I looked online and tried to figure out the average price and saw a lot of different prices. So it’s $450 OBO really. Buyer pays shipping.
  17. Agreed. But then again, same as before pseudo discussion. Arguing why you want film is a decision for producer to pay, arguing why you want anamorphic is for producer to pay...etc etc. I do understand this. But I think I rather just step off here. You have proven your point, and yet again no one knows the result, so when this is all over I will trek to a rental house to test this out. Maybe I am completely bonkers and have no idea what I am doing, or maybe it will look great. We shall see. C
  18. Right...but also isn't that what this medium all about as well. Even if it might be better to shoot on cooke anamorphic, and alexa mini, some people still tend to prefer the Kowas on a RED Epic. There are so many reason why anyone would like to do something regardless of their reasoning behind it. And personally if I like the image straight out the camera a lot more than a 4k pocket, and I have access to an F3 for a better price (even with the mentioned upscaler), would it be wrong for me to try? But also, I do agree, best to do is testing, hence why I sort of left the thread be, because going to a rental house and see will be the only way for me to figure out if it is worth it or not. I mean that goes without saying. If I get it to work on the F3 and then later apply it to the F35 when I can afford that, that was the thought. Yeah, hence why I am wondering if it happens in the acquisition if there is any gain, before the file is actually compressed. I am going to do test myself when the C-19 is over probably, but from what I am understanding here is that no one that has posted has used this hardware before, so frankly does not know, and that I am advised not to do this. C
  19. As mentioned before...I appreciate the input but it is a pseudo discussion. You could even debate if you effectively actually get 4k from the S16, or rather a 2.5k upscaled, but that isn't the discussion. My goal would probably be to test it on a F35 and F3 just to see what the result is. If the overall file and result is still sharper and better than a DSLR 4k, I might do it for my own projects still. C
