Yeah, that's about what I expected to see. I like the follow focus set up on the bottom one. I wonder if the 5D mkII allows you to switch it's LCD output to a high contrast b/w image for easier on-the-fly focusing?!

One of the problems that some people are having with shooting HD with the Canon 5dmII is that the Canon lenses have no direct aperture control on the lens - so we are seeing Zeiss and Nikon lenses being used with adapters! Here's some footage: <http://www.vimeo.com/4557873> The problem with HD video on DSLRs is audio control and bitrate. But people are coming up with some interesting solutions: <http://www.dvinfo.net/conf/canon-eos-5d-mk-ii-hd/145866-my-new-mattebox- rig.html> Scroll down for pics... -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=====| http://www.cottysnaps.com _____________________________ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
