sony a7riv with canon 50mm ef 1.2

Well done for this. You were 110% right and I’m glad you were given that contact in Germany and it all got sorted out.

Thank you. This helped alot

Your title is contradicting to what you say as why the fx30 is better than the a7siii, which is not true . Fx30 is bad with lowlight, just be transparent with your viewers .

Thanks a lot for your explanations and tips!!

I love Winogrand, but I completely disagree with his views on using long lenses for shooting street. scontent.fyyc2-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/448626536_1503851787221491_1993935276833824558_n.jpg?_nc_cat=102&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=127cfc&_nc_ohc=jib1lS0irHoQ7kNvgG4C_aM&_nc_ht=scontent.fyyc2-1.fna&oh=00_AYBhSvvyxTXTpIWgQLGpjuhycG7PMqHDLiggfJdVsHkh4Q&oe=6681FF8E Take with a Nikkor 400 3.5 IF-ED AI-s on Nikon D4.

Well explained. Thank you!

Great message Justin, I’ve been following you for a minute but this was the first video that motivated me to subscribe. Excellent work and messaging.

I started off with b&w film, Pentax K1000 at school and a book to write down f stop and shutter speed for every exposure and away I went wandering through high school for a day or 2. Then dark room and spooled off the film to cannister to develop. Once developed, study each frame and choose which ones I would expose onto photographic paper and do test strips and finally pick the exposure I wanted. What a process!! What felt like 30 min in a dark room was 2 hours or more! I still have an old Nikon FG 20 and only recently during covid, sold my Bronica medium format, which now, I want to get another.

tx for bringing G Winogrand up, haven’t thought of him /his work in some time..

It's been great following you on this journey.

So now your everyday ride is a panzer tank..

Excellent stuff Justin, always enjoy your point of view. I agree completely, being able to realize a scene in the moment it is happening and having the tools and the mind to capture the event is super hard and can only benefit the filmmaker\cinematographer! If your ever in Az give a holler i'm Tucson stylin. Cheers!

Yes! Ive been a photographer for a while but have only gotten into filmmaking recently. I definitely see the correlation between photography and cinematography! Having the same approach honestly.

If he only had digital he could have seen all the pictures he had taken.

This is an excellent video. This discussion about what an illustrator is and what a photographer is is almost the same as what a visdev illustrator for cinema is. There are tiers of illustrators in regards to skill and the higher you go in illustration, the more your illustrations need to come from something outside of representational aspects. It becomes poetry and drama and artistic reflex which is then translated to visuals that enable a more animated/truer depiction of whatever representational aspect exists in the composition (not abstract design). Great video.

These are the things I talk to my partners in El Salvador, I feel good that I'm not the only one thinking that.

bro i am confused refering to him as they then I remember this is america lmao

dope content , like the honesty .. dog times mindset is 🔥

Awesome video! Would be great if you shares your presets for this camera as your sample photos look amazing. Or better yet a video explaining your editing process!

Lmaoooooo. Watching at 1.5x, subscribed because of you talking fast and spitting truth. Refreshing. Keep it up brother ~ ✊🏼

Can you recommend an ir cut filter?

Noob question: i normally use an Xrite Classic Video color checker with the A7S3. If i expose to what is usually recommended as correct (+1.3/ +1.7) in clog3.cine with the zebras at 41% on mid grey im pretty happy with WB and color accuracy i get in Davinci Resolve doing the manual color correction on the vectorscope moving the hue vs hue and hue vs sat points. Will the spectrometer improve my exposure accuracy over my current workflow or should i just stick to my old method? Spending 600€ on a spectrometer is not exactly cheap but could be worth it in the long run if it allows for more accuracy.

Sound like you are parking, relax and enjoy the movement of the take over, soon you will see NikonR1 😅

It only a camera…. It’s a tool no matter how you look at it.

Cool video. But don’t waste the resource of your sensor and SD card for pyulyestyenianese rubbish. It doesn’t worth a pixel.

I’m glad you stop using the Sony, your footage looks much better with other cameras. Panasonic may work better for you as a hybrid camera.

What do you think of the nikon z6iii or the lumix s5iix?

thanks for making this video.

I bought mine 3 years ago used from a retailer for £1470. Boxed, mint with lens, and eyepiece hoods, a set of filters, and a Fotodiox Pro hand grip. I also bought a used, boxed Sony FDA-EV1MK viewfinder. The only downside is the small capacity battery.

Thank Justin for such a DETAILED & EFFECTIVE video.

I'm a member of his site, too and was considering the dream neg profile and after seeing your review I am DEFINITELY adding it to my A7C! Great review!!

The beauty of gio scope is you can disable each stop to your liking. You could drop it down to a total of 12 stops just like EL zone. Easy to remove the shades that are confusing

Thank God you made this video. I made a mistake in buying the Komodo-X production package only to find out that the included SmallHD monitor doesn't have EL Zone. I've been exclusively relying on EL Zone since its hit SmallHD monitors. I've bought a few Atomos monitors once I know EL Zone was added to those monitors too. My only work around is to learn Gio Scope and pray Red/SmallHD add EL Zone one day. I just love EL's color-coded labels. Makes it so easy to read and understand. Thank you again!

Buying a Leica does not make you a photographer. I tried.

Great video, thank you for this!

Truly great and inspiring. Thank you 🙏🏻

I shoot on an A7S III but this RX1R II is still my go to for run and gun. I have never been able to find out though, can the leaf shutter be disabled for electric only?

I got my first Minolta camera last year and started shooting film (stills) again after being fully digital for many long years. The Minolta Rokor lenses are excellent. I've been adapting them to my digital bodies, and I love them very much.

Dope bro

Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge. Learned a bunch again in this video.

Thanks for the video. This really saved me a lot of time and money. I was getting into the vintage lens world and was testing different lenses to find a set I can go with. After almost 2 months I revisited this video, did a little research and in terms of availability and cost the MCiii or Rokkor-X line really is the best choice in terms of accessibility. A lot cheaper right now than Contax Zeiss and easier to find mint copies versus the Russian vintage lenses. I'm going to Japan next winter so quite excited to hit the vintage camera stores and find my own set of MCiii lenses.

We you definitely get what you pay for here I’m surprised the black magic was that bad

Hey there, I'm considering this light for an upcoming still shoot in a working lead mine. I need a very portable battery-powered solution because once you're down there, you're down there for several hours with no outlets available. That said, I have two questions: Does this throw enough light (assume that I'll have two at a minimum) in a relatively dark environment? What type of usb-c power bank would you recommend? Your b-roll shows you using one but I didn't see it in the list of gear.

Please buy a sound meter for fan tests and measure it from 1m. If you can afford Sekonic spectrometer you can afford sound meter like Extech SL250W ($99). You sound fan comparisons will become as scientific as your color and power readings :D Test with any mic does not make sense, because I do not know your mic levels, your camera levels and what you have done in post with that sound. Anyway the best review of B500 I've seen so far. I guess I'd stay with Aputure :D. Their new 600C seems to be as powerful as this one, and have G/M shift control - but is like 4x more expensive :D

I assume the reading @ 2:02 is with the reflector. Still impressive since looks like a bit more than what Aputure 600x generates at this distance :o

I actually enjoyed this one. Yes, we should be using light meters and not depend on EL zone, but for the sake of the video, the EL zone represented the full image as a visual reference.. The point came across, especially when you mentioned the script. It all starts and ends with what’s on the page. I just shot a documentary that had no script but still went through my logline and the interviews, and now I’m shooting 2 more shorts before end of the month here in LA…. one story has both high key and low contrast and the other is a horror with barely any lights. I appreciated the video. good job

Another Master Class on lighting with some of the shiniest objects being filmed. The R/R Tape Recorder has both reflective plastic drags and metallic pulls and having the VU meters with their normally bright Mixed Yellow/Orange lighting and plastic lenses are taken care of in a fantastic manner. You found all of the right tools onsite, that you would have normally had in your own toolbox. I did not have very many light guys that would take the time to provide such significant details. Nice Job, and fantastic video Justin.
