  1. Yup is the 9.5 to 19 rectilinear Ziess what's really cool about it is any light or ping in the corners is a perfect circle not a rounded rectangle like the 8R.

     

    It's a VERY cool lens. When Bill Bennett saw it he was literally jumping up and down

  2. Why the hell does a power plug need 8 pins?

    Does the sliding baseplate come off and give reasonable mounting options? Are we going to need a new plate?

     

     

    To carry the current required and longevity.

     

    The sliding base does not come off, you use a Alexa plate. The one that will be up on Film-stuff on friday will be the perfect plate.

  3. guys, it's INCOME. Rental income but 1099 income nevertheless. depending on how you structure your equipment purchases you could (and possibly can I haven't looked at the rules for this year) do a part 179 accelerated deprecation on the gear to offset income. Those avenues are going away.

     

    Bottom line is that it IS taxable and anyone who says otherwise probably isn't going to stand up for you in your audit.

  4. Eg If monitor is above battery CG, Camera CG is allways behind center post for Dinamic Balance. Usually 3/4 inch behind center post for bigger rigs.

    Why did you take Lens Nodal Point as a reference?

    Thats a pretty huge generalization. And often not true.

     

    Nodal is good because when doing shots with stong veticals your tilt is exactly that a tilt. Not a arc

  5. Can anyone post a picture of their rig in co-planar setup? (Or refer to existing pictures?)

     

    Curious as to what percentage of ops might use "co-planar" setup (for ease in maintaining DB) v. the need for higher off-set monitor position (for greater visibility of monitor).

    Move along nothing to see here

  6. The monitor is de-laminating. I have a Hummingbird Blackbird.. I love the monitor, BUT, it is de-laminating as well. According to David Hable there is virtually nothing to be done about the situation, which is a shame because it is the best SD LCD monitor that I have ever owned, and the one I use primarily because I like the XCS PDL which I cannot use with my Cinetronic 1 monitor.

    So clean up the "goo" and use the monitor until it dies.......

     

    why can't you use a PDL with a Cinetronic monitor? they both take analog (SD) Video in.
