What about Canon EF-S Lens? Do the lenses have such markers on them? Follow focus wheel is where the camera assistant DID put some marks. I wonder how INITIALLY the distance/focus ratio was found? Is it pure math or some visionary there as well?

I am looking for some literature about follow focus use. I have once participated during feature film production and remember camera assistant always measured a distance from camera to the object and adjusted follow focus. What this measuring is all about?

I purchased T2i TODAY :) Body only, since I have an access to my friends kit lens, besides I want to purchase a faster lens next month. Let me try DSLR shooting with T2i first. If I happen to have money for 5D in the future, then T2i will become "B" camera. :)

Well, once I get the camera I will compare which way is better for me to control focus - BIG screen with SD or built-in screen with HD.

I will get a follow focus for a better focus control. What about not mounted on a camera monitor, but a bigger flat screen apart from camera?

First and foremost is not be off the focus. Second, is to have a better vision on what I shoot. Thirdly, I want OTHERS to see the shot and make suggestions, if any. Although I have no troubles with my sight, I honestly do not find T2i's built-in screen big enough for film production. BTW, eBay...

I will eventually (as I collect some money) equip my T2i with the subjected gear. I really like those from micro, namely: microSupport system for microMatteBox microMatteBox Standard Bundle microFollowFocus v2 some confusing things there that I still need to clarify weather not here, but with...

I need a help finding the best solution on mounting external monitor and powering the whole Canon T2i set. 1) This External Monitor on eBay looks ok to me. I like its 10AA battery pack to juice itself. Do you think 7' is enough? What are other options? 2) How many batteries do I need to have...

Just want to say, that I TOTALLY agree! Which IN NOW WAY should mean I did not like the short. It is really cool!

I have two options researched by myself so far: OPTION 1 CANON Kiss X4 550D Rebel T2i DSLR CAMERA BODY - $749.00 + $69.00 = $818.00 Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM Lens - $359.00 + $59.00 = $418.00 Canon EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS - $345.00 + $24.52 = $369.52 TOTAL $1 605.52 OPTION 2 CANON Kiss...

There is one unclear moment I find strange. Wide aperture (say f/1.4) = shallow DoF. Long focal length (even with standard kit lens) = shallow DoF. Zoom lens (even with slow one like 55-250mm f/4-5.6) at its extreme focal length actually reduces the aperture. Why then DoF is there?

Need your advise as well. I am going to shoot outside during a day, following a hero on a city streets. My script requires to show him in full frame and some part of his body (running feet, hands counting money). It worth mentioning that the hero is a 12 years old boy, but there are gonna be...

Indeed! The key portion is: So, it means I can MANUALLY control how wide the aperture is open using T2i menu, can I?

I just got the answer :) WiKi

Very helpful and I got a lot of useful information about lenses. There is one particular moment I want to dig deeper. So, from one side we are getting a fast lens with wide aperture to get MORE light in. From the other side we limit the incoming light with ND filter. Why can't we mount a...

Nice! I liked it! There were few scenes I would make shorter to keep a faster pace. Great sound! Well, they say T2i's video capabilities are same as 7D. If T2i can shoot something similar, then Rolling Shutter might not be as horrible as it seems.

It sounds like IF I do have a tripod and shoot heavy action stuff, then the Rolling Shutter Issue could be overcome? I do not thing this is a case. For instance, if I need to shoot running feet will CMOS sensor do ok?

I'm making the decision not to regret afterwards. I have my sound gear on its way, and I need to choose THE CAMERA that will NOT create nasty surprises during my work. I am not dilly-dallying definitely. Currently shooting a draft version of some of my future shots with SONY Cyber-shot DSC-H3...

CMOS = ROLLING SHUTTER = my nightmare. Smear is the only "problem" of CCD (GLOBAL SHUTTER), but that's so typical for film. That IS a part of a "film look". No camcorder should have ever been manufactured with CMOS sensors. CCD is the ONLY way!!! I HATE CMOS sensor!!!
