    Lens help BMPCC

    No "one lens" will come close to doing everything you might ever need. This is why we have so many lenses! I've got dozens and dozens of lenses myself. But if a person was to only get one lens, I'd suggest the Sigma 18-35mm f1.8 in a Nikon F mount together with a RJ Lens Turbo...

    Zoom F4 with six inputs and eight tracks (is like a new low priced F8!)

    I think you missed my key point that Zoom themselves have stated it will be selling for $650

    Zoom F4 with six inputs and eight tracks (is like a new low priced F8!)

    Little known fun fact: the Zoom F4 can also record to Blu-ray disks as well as SD cards! ;-) As the new Zoom F4 is "#1 New Release in Blu-ray Recorders" on Amazon, that is a new feature we didn't hear about from Zoom​... that it can record not just to SD cards but to Blu-rays as well! ;-) ha...

    Zoom F4 with six inputs and eight tracks (is like a new low priced F8!)

    My blog post on this news: http://ironfilm.co.nz/news-leak-zoom-f4-with-six-inputs-and-eight-tracks-is-like-a-new-low-priced-zoom-f8/ (some of it repeated below) I thought the Zoom F8 when it was announced was a groundbreaking new recorder in what it brought to a new low price point for...

    Rokinon Cine DS 20mm T1.9 is coming at last!

    Yessssssssss! Been eagerly waiting for them to fill in the gap between 16mm and 24mm, as that gap was just too darn big and was rather annoying (even worse if you needed full frame, was a leap from 14mm to 24mm!). Now I just need to save up the US$600ish the lens will cost...

    Feelworld G55 (like a half priced SmallHD 502) 1920*1080 5.5" FHD monitor with Wavefo

    Another thought is the Lilliput Q5 which has an estimated rough street price of US$475 which might make it an even more attractive option! http://www.dslrfilmnoob.com/2016/04/23/new-lilliput-q7-1920x1080-ips-field-monitor/

    What kit should I get?...

    Heck no to a Canon 70D, that would be an awful choice, especially when you're on a tight budget. Any of Panasonic GH4 / G7 or Samsung NX1 or Sony A6300 would be a better choice instead. My recommendation is a Panasonic G7. For lenses a solid simple starting set would be: Tokina 11-20mm...

    Tascam DR-70D vs Tascam DR-680 mk1 vs Tascam DR-680 mk2 vs Zoom F8

    Haha, you probably do not want to ask! ;-) They're in a gradual process of being upgraded too :) I got the 552 secondhand at a very good price. I never would have otherwise purchased one this year. I'm still just a newbie semi pro soundie, so until my day rates increase and I get more regular...

    Tascam DR-70D vs Tascam DR-680 mk1 vs Tascam DR-680 mk2 vs Zoom F8

    Hmmmm.... a Zoom F8 would however seriously stretch the budget, and I would need to push out buying it until the end of the year.

    Tascam DR-70D vs Tascam DR-680 mk1 vs Tascam DR-680 mk2 vs Zoom F8

    hmmm.... decisions decisions, a new Tascam DR-70D for only US$200 or 2ndhand Tascam DR-680 mk1 for US$320 or 2ndhand Tascam DR-680 mk2 for US$425 or a new Zoom F8 for US$1k?? (context: I'd be using it with several radio mics and a boom, and a Sound Devices 552 in front of it as a mixer, for...

    RED Raven vs URSA Mini 4.6K vs Kinefinity Terra 6K

    All good, is fun debating with a devil's advocate! I like being a devil's advocate too now and then ;-)

    RED Raven vs URSA Mini 4.6K vs Kinefinity Terra 6K

    Well the reason why for that is clear, F5 is 16bit while FS7 (& FS5 for sure I suspect) are only 12 bit raw. Kinefinity won't cripple them like that.

    RED Raven vs URSA Mini 4.6K vs Kinefinity Terra 6K

    jax rox, of course we could all simply wait to talk about a camera until only AFTER it has came out and been extensively tested and used for a whole year first..... but where is the fun in that!!! :-o ;-) Ha, nope, not for me! I'll enjoy chit chatting with other folks who like this stuff even...

    RED Raven vs URSA Mini 4.6K vs Kinefinity Terra 6K

    Funding beta cameras??? Not at all. Kinefinity is part of a much larger camera company, and Kinefinity has been making cinema cameras for a number of years now (they're now up to releasing what is at least their 6th cinema camera?? If I'm remembering correctly). Of course I wouldn't buy it...

    RED Raven vs URSA Mini 4.6K vs Kinefinity Terra 6K

    Is another day, and have written yet another blog post about Kinefinity​..... perhaps I am trying to singlehandedly double the amount of English content online written about Kinefinity! ;-) Talking about Kinefinity's Kinemount...

    RED Raven vs URSA Mini 4.6K vs Kinefinity Terra 6K

    Is by any chance KineMount an open mount like say Micro Four Thirds is? I am guessing it is not. There is a thread over on BMCuser about possible interchangeable mounts for BMD cameras. Got me thinking that the absolute best result would be if BMD adopted the FZ mount in future cameras. FZ...

    Which blimp to get?

    I had decided I'd go for Rycote, as it is only a little ish bit more than a RODE on B&H when comparing the prices listed on B&H. But then I saw the RODE being sold on eBay for significantly less than at B&H, and that just made the RODE/Rycote price gap too big to ignore, so I ended up going...
