  1. May I ask why you are selling it? I was looking into getting a C300 for a long time, but I'm being pulled towards an EVA after getting hands on with it. I've always been curious about having a C-series as a B-cam or something of the like.
  2. So even measured from the focal plane. If the lens achieves perfect focus at 9.9ft when the subject is 10ft away, that means the lens should be checked and sent in?
  3. I'm not sure of the full science behind it, but from what I've read the Varicam has two analog circuits that allow two native ISO's behind each pixel. So when you switch the iso from 800 to 5000, the camera switches circuits to deliver a similar signal to noise ratio of 800 ISO. I saw it in action two weeks ago I 2nd'ed on, and it was awesome! We only used a bounce from a window for an interior scene. 5000 ISO allowed one source to illuminate the whole room, and even in shadows we didn't see any noise.
  4. Excuse me for asking a silly question, because I'm trying to wrap my head around the OP's measurements. Are you saying that when the subject is 10ft away from the lens mount, the lens has a reading of 9.9ft at perfect focus of the subject? I suppose then that warrants the discussion of where to measure the focus from to ensure the readings are accurate on the lens.
  5. What I've done with slider moves without risers for the head is: - Place tripods where you want movement to start and end. Take the forefront tripod and lower it down (depending on how wide or tight your frame is), and get it to the height you need until you no longer have the slider in your frame. I've had success doing this, without noticing too much of a vertical change in camera position. I actually enjoy a little vertical movement because it's not something necessarily used in low-budget films. Good luck!
  6. I think I may be looking at it from a different angle, although I follow your logic through and through. What I believe it means is when 100 Mbps is recorded per second, that means the camera is approximately writing at that speed per second, no matter the frame rate of 24fps or 30fps. So with that logic, I would suppose that it is recording more information for 24fps vs 30fps, but the quality is negligible. Also, remember that the camera is writing approx. 100 Mbps, not exactly 100.00 Mbps. Therefore, with those six additional frames, you aren't getting a huge bump in quality if you stuck with 24fps instead. That's my view on things. Although you did the math and may be correct, in the end I don't think it actually matters. :) You are still going to have the same quality whether you're in 24 or 30fps. Cheers, Dylan
