  1. hey guys, im trying to set up a black magic cinema camera 4k onto a movi m5. Does anyone know which lens setup is compatible and which ones are not? I just want to make sure so I don't overload the movi m5. The max paylod on the movi 5 is 5lbs, the black magic is 3.75 lbs, that leaves like 1.25 lbs for the lens. Thanks.
  2. Hi all, I'm selling a lightly used set of Angenieux Optimo DP Rouge zooms, one 16-42mm and one 30-80mm. I'm the original owner and took good care of them. The lenses are optically perfect and display only light wear on the bodies. They've also been checked recently via Panavision. Each lens comes with a custom flight case, plus the original documentation, spare colored rubber rings (blue and red), a zoom stick, a zoom support. I'm also including 2x 8" 15mm rods and 1x screw on zoom motor bracket. As you probably know, these lenses are quite spectacular. I'm in Los Angeles and prefer local pickup if possible. Also of interest, the pair were made later in the production cycle, after the rear element housing was re-engineered to be slightly lower profile. The package includes: 1x Angenieux Optimo DP Rouge 16-42mm lens 1x Angenieux Optimo DP Rouge 30-80mm lens 1x flight case for 16-42mm 1x flight case for 30-80mm 2x zoom sticks 2x sets of original documentation, plus spare blue and red rings 2x 8" 15mm iris rods 1x Duclos zoom motor bracket $20k for the set. Photos available upon request. Thank you!
  3. Not exactly cinema level gear but I figured I would list here anyways. Selling a set of EF Leica R lenses I've had for a few years and never use anymore. They're great little lenses (sharp but still have character/creamy out of focus areas) but things are all PL these days. All Duclos modded and matched, declicked, ect. All are EF mount so great for any doc red/alexa shooters who want something small and simple. 77mm front threads so they work with photo filters. (I've got promist 1/4, soft fx 2, lowcon, variable ND, Pola I'd be willing to part with as well) Set includes a 19mm 2.8, 24mm 2.8, 35mm 2, 50mm 2 See the ebay listing below https://www.ebay.com/itm/LEICA-R-lens-set-EOS-DUCLOS-cine-mod-Late-Serials-19mm-24mm-35mm-50mm/332518855882 It's hard to find pricing info on a set this small but cost is based on the cost to rebuild the set. Open to negotiating of course.
  4. Hello Sorry if it's a silly question but i'm new to all that ... These lenses from this RENTAL STORE are made for 35mm Film cameras ... right ?? (ARRI Master Prime , ZEISS T 1,3 , ZEISS T 2.1, Cooke S4, Cooke Zoom 20-100mm, Ultra Prime) And also are compatible with Cine PL digital cameras like ALEXA, RED, Canon EOS C300PL etc ... Right ?? But according to this chart ... If I want to use a 18mm lens in the way Kubrick it .. it's impossible with the Digital cameras .. Right ?? And the CLOSEST to that is Canon C300 with 99% !! Right ?? So the Canon C300 is better on that point than the high end ALEXA and AMIRA ?!?! And what is the solution to achieve an 100% result ??? Thank you !!
  5. Good Soviet Lenses. OPF15 - rare enough, but not perfect. $ 2100 OPF-7-1 is good, $ 2300 if just two - the discount. I can send.
  6. Proceeds from Sales of Sculptures & Assemblages to Benefit City of Hope Writer-director Matt Reeves (War for the Planet of the Apes, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, Cloverfield), Oscar®-nominated cinematographer Jeff Cronenweth, ASC (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, The Social Network), and cinematographer Ernie Holzman, ASC (Without a Trace, Cora Unashamed, Thirtysomething) present “Ernie Holzman: Life ReFocused,” an art show celebrating film cameras and lenses from the 20th century. The event takes place on November 12, from 4 – 7 p.m. at RED Studios Hollywood, where assemblages and sculptures created by Holzman will be for sale, as well as a rare print of the iconic set of Alfred Hitchcock's "Rear Window.” All proceeds benefit cancer research at City of Hope. After being diagnosed with Stage IV non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma in 2011, Holzman underwent surgery and two rounds of chemotherapy. Unable to work, a good friend gifted Holzman with a collection of vintage filmmaking equipment. The cinematographer deconstructed every camera and lens, and was ultimately inspired by the aesthetic beauty and elegance of the equipment, which had been commonplace in his career, to create art. By selling the pieces he has designed, Holzman wants to “pay it forward” and acknowledge the life-saving work of Dr. Barry Rosenbloom at Tower Oncology. Holzman told American Cinematographer magazine, “The opportunity to create art, and ultimately have this showing, has not only been enormously healing for me, but has given my life greater meaning than I have ever known.” City of Hope is a world leader in the research and treatment of cancer, diabetes, and other serious diseases. They deliver scientific miracles that make lives whole again. Founded in 1913, City of Hope is one of only 49 comprehensive cancer centers in the nation, as designated by the National Cancer Institute. The event is open to the public. RED Studios Hollywood is located at 864 N. Cahuenga Blvd, Los Angeles, 90038. No RSVP is necessary to attend.
  7. What dependable companies or individuals can you suggest for lens services? I want to have a set of 70s/80s Canon FDs cleaned and serviced (slight dust, fungus, haze). Additionally I'd like to remove the lens coatings. They will ultimately be rehoused so mounts/seatings are not of concern. The entire kit may include: FD 14mm f/2.8L FD 20mm f/2.8 SSC FD 24mm f/1.4L FD 35mm f2 SSC ii FD 55mm f/1.2 ssc ASPHERICAL FD 85mm f/1.2 L ASPHERICAL I'm based in the states (midwest) but am talking with GL Optics/Nan to rehouse them. So could be open to someone near him in China.
  8. I'm looking to buy a single 18mm Zeiss Super Speed outside of a set. Mk II or III preferred.
  9. Hi everybody, I'm in the process of investing some money into glass as part of a rental division of my company. The question is what lenses I should invest in? Kowas and K35s seem to be good vintage options but they're hard to find, some people have suggested zooms such as the Angenieux or the Fujinon Premiers (because you don't need to get a full set). I was wondering if anybody here has had some experience with this, has some suggestions? It's really appreciated, thanks! Fabien

  11. So I had a heated discussion today about this topic with other "cinematographers". I had information thrown at me from all sides and I don't know what to believe anymore .Can somebody please clean this up for me once and for all. Ok I bought a Sigma Art 18-35mm 1.8 lens for my FS5. The lens is a APS-C so it fits well on the camera. A lot of people are using it. So the question is... Is this really giving me 18-35mm or 28.8-56mm? I was under the impression that the 1.5 crop factor only applied when you were using a full frame lens. A guy then tells me all lenses are for full frame and you have to multiple 1.5 with any lens that you put on it no matter what its for. He was really furious when explaining this to me. Who is right?
  12. Hey guys. Check out this nice article about this full frame lens phenomenon we're seeing in 2017. If anyone was at NAB or followed it, you know how big full frame lenses have become this year. We sat down with Matt Duclos of Duclos Lenses and Mark LaFleur of Old Fast Glass to discuss what this means and where we're heading in cinema. http://blog.sharegrid.com/blog/why-full-frame-lenses-expose-the-future-of-cinema-cameras

  15. Hi guys, Selling off my set of four Rokinon Nikon-Mount lenses as I simply never use them (literally none of these lenses have been on the camera more than two or three times each). For a cheap and cheerful set of fully-manual primes, I think they do quite well. But as I'm nearly always working with Assistants, and I'm arguably far-too kind to them - my Zeiss CZ.2s stay on the camera, so these have to go! :p Looking for a quick sale, so selling for 40% off what I paid for them retail. Price is $1,245 USD / $1,665 AUD (plus GST if purchased in Australia) Located in Melbourne, but happy to ship worldwide. Cheers, Mark
  16. Hi, I'm last year student in Cinematography school in Belgium, and I'm making a end-of-year work about extreme telephoto lenses used in Cinema. I saw a part of the movie Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy by DP Hoyte van Hoytema where they use a 2000mm to compress the foreground and the background. The result is wonderful : https://vimeo.com/152514220 So I'm looking for other movies, other shot like this one. If any DP here already used big lenses (over 500mm with 35mm sensors), I'm interested to ask them some questions. Thanks in advance, Arnaud Serexhe
  17. Selliing MINT (only used twice) Angenieux Optimo 3D Ready Package with Two DP 16-42mm Matched Lenses w/case. These lenses are very hard to find. I paid $46K for the package - Asking $42,000 Local pickup in Los Angeles only. Please email my assistant Deb at bigdreamsdeb@gmail.com with any questions or offers. If you PM message on here, there will likely be a delay in response. Thanks! Scott Snare VIEW PICS: https://flic.kr/s/aHskJib6Xa PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS Matched Lenses from Same Production Run For Stereoscopic 3D Productions For Cameras w/ Large Single Sensors PL Mounts Custom Padded Pelican Carry Case The Angenieux Optimo 3D Ready Package with Two DP 16-42mm Lenses takes a lot of the headache out of stereoscopic 3D production by pairing two factory-matched, high-quality lenses. For shooting S3D with a beam-splitter or side-by-side stereo rig, matched lenses are absolutely crucial. These two Optimo DP 16-42mm lenses are from the same production run – a key consideration when you're trying to find twins of a device as mechanically sensitive as a lens. (Choosing matched zooms over two sets of primes is also a good way to ease setups for stereoscopic productions.) The two super-fast lenses have matching focus scales – focus rings are perfectly calibrated – and zoom ranges, and tracking is easily adjustable. Their zoom range of 16-42mm is appropriate for most stereo-friendly shooting, which favors wide shots over close-ups. The kit comes in a custom Pelican case with padding cut specifically for the included items: The two lenses, shim kits, two screwdrivers, two lens support brackets, and two focus sticks. Note: The lenses do not fit on cameras with optical viewfinders. PL mounts Optical design optimized for large-format, single-sensor digital cinema cameras: 32mm diagonal image area covers entire active pixel area of an S35/5K sensor Super-fast aperture of T2.8 (f/2.6), with no ramping 320º focus rotation with over 20 precise focus witness marks and no breathing Calibrated focus marks in feet or meters Angenieux 16-42mm Focal Length 16mm-42mm Max Aperture T2.8 Mount PL Image Circle 31.4mm Min. Focus 24" Front Dia. 114mm Weight 4.2 lb.

  21. Hi, I'm currently in pre-production on a "kitchen-sink" social realism drama and I'm looking at films like 'Fish Tank' and 'This is England' as visual references for the look of this film. I want to use the flat and dry colour palettes used in these films to create a similar mood and atmosphere for my film. Eventhough my influences are from an 80's style, this is a creative choice for a film with a contemporary story. I will be testing the Sony F55 and the Blackmagic distagon lenses next week to see if this would be a possible substitute for shooting 16mm film as this would be too expensive. I've been told that this would change my depth of field and that I'll be shooting with a 2x crop. The majority of this short film will be shot ecu - mids with occasional wides as it's quite a close and intimate story. I'm just wondering if anyone has any suggestions or advice in regards to my approach? Here are a few visual references. Fish Tank: http://66.media.tumblr.com/f87e91f7a39493982b2c3d601ca6b463/tumblr_mn65qzTtXA1s6aghro1_1280.jpg https://cinenthusiast.files.wordpress.com/2011/02/fishtank.jpg This is England: http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/thisisenglandpedia/images/6/68/Article-1285850004888-0b6ab43e000005dc-948583_636x361.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20150928011720 http://esquireuk.cdnds.net/15/37/980x490/980x490-this-is-england-90-finale-43-jpg-6b3a7d05.jpg (Sorry for the links - this has been sent by mobile) Thanks and any help is much appeciated!

  22. Hi Guys, I'm fairly new in cinematography and have my first budget short film to make in January. The director has asked me he would like it shot looking a bit like Christopher Doyle in 'In The Mood For Love' and Tarkovsky's Solaris. I'm going to buy an expensive prime lens and am struggling to see anywhere online which lenses seem to match these films. If anyone could help that would be great! here's links to the films: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qqdeSIm0I8 Many Thanks! Casey

  24. hei guys, I’m finally about to buy a BM pocket camera. The fact it shoots RAW or anyway 10bit ProRes for lower than 1000 euros is appealing me big time. Yet I’m still esitating cause of some few missing features such as the lack of slow motion (beside the battery issue) - anyway I just wanna ask you some suggestion about lenses, as I'm thinking on which lenses to buy along with the camera. at the moment I’m seriously considering this series: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1181997-REG/rokinon_super_35_cine_ds.html I used them on a Sony F5 and I liked them all, not entry level, yet not real cine lens, but it's a really good price, and I’d save on the adaptor: which lenses you guys use on your Blackmagic Pocket (or the GH4 for instance)? thank you :) Stefano
  25. Hi, I've been assigned to shoot and direct and documentary in Nepal in two months time and I'm looking to gear up for the shoot. The project is a low budget / indie documentary for which I thought to get the Sony A7s ii for the job for its low light conditions as most likely I'd use very little available lights. I own a Blackmagic 4K ef mount which I plan to sell as I find it to bulky and heavy for the job and not great on low light. I am currently looking for lenses, and understanding more about the different type of glass. I'm looking for recommendations I want to achieve a filmic / cinematic look, nice aesthetics, soft nice skin tone and color rendition rather than sharp HD video and I have a very little budget to cover the whole rig. I even thought of old film slr lenses to give me a softer look but I am scared of vignetting of which would be best to go for. The documentary will be 30 mins highly visual, poetic biopic rather than talking heads, so any help on the choice of lense would be great . I currently own Nikon prime DX 50, 85 mm 1.4 lenses but don't think they're good enough or if it'd vignet. I'm not super technical so any advice on this would really help, many thanks.
