Personally I don't like the way anamorphic lenses render out of focus areas.

[QUOTE=Desuh;42630585]Personally I don't like the way anamorphic lenses render out of focus areas.[/QUOTE] i think it's a highly stylised look, i wouldn't use it in all my films and where i can, but if i feel it fits or as an experiment i'd defo try it out. the glass for only £60 and i can always sell it to some #hype dslr filmmaker

[QUOTE=Trogdon;42625011]I got an RX100 specifically for longer shots as it's tiny and gets to an equiv of 100mm on the long end. Bringing a long prime is a bit limiting, but it works for when I need it.[/QUOTE] I read a bit about that camera about being so awesome, so why didn't you choose the mark 2?

The analog family, slowly expanding. Still aiming to get a Zuiko 35mm f2 but they are all so expensive and I have like no monies for a while. [url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/57350278@N06/10460322394/][img]http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7313/10460322394_c446a9b651_c.jpg[/img][/url]

I bought two of those and all had a sticky shutter. Too scared to buy another one since.

[QUOTE=Desuh;42632327]Does that film eos have a working shutter? I bought two of those and all had a sticky shutter. Too scared to buy another one since.[/QUOTE] It had a sticky shutter, just get some rubbing alcohol and Q-tips and clean it out. Then cycle the shutter for a few minutes. Before cleaning 1 out of 6 shots were misfires, sometimes even more. After cleaning I sometimes get 1 out of 36 shots that is a misfire. Over time the sticky residu comes back so the camera does require some maitenance.

Also I can't shoot knowing that the shutter can fail at any time.

the 75D is here [img]http://www.leica-boss.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Canon_75D_b-300x225.jpg[/img] [url]http://www.leica-boss.com/2013/10/canon-responds-to-revolutionary-sony-mirrorless-full-frame-with-even-more-revolutionary-aps-c-dslr/[/url]

Canon has really been pumping out the new bodies lately. Gotta love the Hyperswivel technology, Bionic Luminance Undulation Reflex, and TruLite Dynamic Range Reduction technology. I don't see why they're comparing it to the A7 though. I'd take an A7 all day over that.

why would you want to stop it [editline]25th October 2013[/editline] i hope everyone realised that the 75D is a joke right i mean BLUR technology

[QUOTE=garychencool;42641846]That lens selection...[/QUOTE] Samsung cameras actually have a 30mm f2 pancake, a 45mm 1.8 (and a version of this lens that does 3D in a single lens), and an 85mm 1.4 All have gotten crazy good reviews from what I've seen (the 45mm is considered near perfect) [url]http://www.ephotozine.com/article/samsung-45mm-f-1-8-nx-i-function-lens-review-21690[/url]

[QUOTE=Eltro102;42642143] i hope everyone realised that the 75D is a joke right i mean BLUR technology[/QUOTE] The mobile control app costs over a hundred dollars... I'm very sure it's a joke

[QUOTE=Eltro102;42642143] i hope everyone realised that the 75D is a joke right i mean BLUR technology[/QUOTE] I thought it was actually announced and the guy just made fun of it. I don't really follow DSLR releases anymore because they are always the same.

Yeah it's an actual joke I just thought it was really well done

[QUOTE=Trogdon;42643475]Yeah it's an actual joke I just thought it was really well done[/QUOTE] When I read this in the morning, I thought it was real. Then I read about the 2x thickness AA filter and I'm like wtf. Then the app pricing made it very obvious. Also, how much better is the All-I video on a 6D?

My 6D is arriving today! Waiting is painful :v:

About to buy 5d mark iii. my wallet is shivering with fear

[video=youtube;Q4tXuFz29Dg]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4tXuFz29Dg[/video] ignore the bit at the end which i forgot to sort.

So I recently got my hands on the new sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 on a 60D and oh my god I need to get this amazing lens. Solid build quality, I love how smooth the Rings are.
