Thanks for the answer. That isn't far from what I'm currently doing. For some reason I can't bring myself to delete source clips. And like you, I am beginning to run out of space on my 8TB drive. ...

Thanks, I've had mixed results on the BM forum. I don't expect to redo any old projects but more to archive source material. I recently was asked by a local TV station for original source clips ...

A question for those of you that use Davinci Resolve. What is your strategy for archiving your projects? I usually have 10 or 11 folders on my hard drive for a particular project. One of them is ...

I would not be using it wide open. My hope is that stopping down to f/2.8 will still be one stop brighter than the max f/4 I have in this focal length now. I'm also thinking of this as a tool for ...

Yes that was a typo. I am looking at a 24mm f/2.

Thanks again for the valuable insights. When I first started shooting digital there was a general feeling that film era lenses were simply not up to the task. Only new lenses designed for digital ...

Thanks, I had forgotten about the serial number list.

Thanks for the information. It sounds like this might make a decent purchase but the question now is how to tell if it is a Kiron or a Komine? Maybe a internet search will give me that information. ...

I will be using it on a Nikon Z6 II.

I found a 24mm f/2 Vivitar lens in canon FD breech mount and it got my interest. Basically because the brightest 24mm I have is an f/4 and I'm wondering if this lens might give me better results ...

Vivitar 135mm f/2.8 The view from the front door. This was taken last year but we have had similar conditions lately and it made me think of this image. We live on a hill just above the Tambre ...

No, not back focused. I don't have that issue with the Z6ii and focusing with the magnified view. My wife has a tremor from a broken spine and so it is incredibly difficult to get a good lock on ...

Hi Alan, Yes the grain was intentionally added in post and intentionally heavy handed. I don't want to say overdone though, because I'm exploiting different characteristics to see how they interact ...

Canon 50mm FD f/1.4 Silver Nose at f/2 or f/2.8. Hard to remember because the actual aperture isn't recorded in the EXIF. Processed to suit the mood and feeling. I'm generally more inclined to pick ...

Is this the Breach Lock or Bayonet? Thanks, Jones

It was just the blackest thing I could think of. I purchased samples from twowaymirrors.com. Looking back at my order I see they were 6x6 and not 9x9 and the actual price was $14.95 ($24.04 with ...

I still have the teleprompter glass for some reason. It is mirrored on one side and that is the side to aim towards the photographing camera. There is no issue with ghosting in my experiments. ...

I hope this information is relevant. Seeing this brought me back to thinking about a project I was experimenting with before I left the US. Now I don't have the resources to play around with it. To ...

Michael, I purchased a lot of different laserable materials from glowforge.com. The frosted acrylic was just one of the materials they have available. It is frosted on one side. This is the ...

Michael, I don't know if this will be of value to you but I'll offer it anyway. For my stitching back (the home made one) I needed a screen to compose with so I created that on my laser cutter. ...
