Heading Out For Battle

This is my rig for Saturday, but the good news is I'll be jamming a Sony FS100 in this baby come January. I'm getting pretty stoked. The next purchase after that will probable be a RED 17-50 PL mount. Anybody that can attest for that lens?
oh my... and you call yourself an independent filmmaker do you???
very nice indeed. congrats.

I also shoot other things and complaining about the bill goes way down with a decent first impression. Shallow as that may be, it's fact. Anyhow, seeking PL lens stories., musings, and pans.
My only hands on PL mount experience was with a Zeiss CP.2 50mm on a GH2. I was shooting second camera to a AF-100. While I can understand your desire to make the jump to a true cinema lens I probably wouldn't go that direction. I'd rather get a set of Zeiss ZF primes with the Duclos mod. Of course, that's just my personal opinion.
No, that is logical thinking. ZF's rock and I have to buy an adapter anyway, so it might as well be a Nikon. Great stuff, SinEater.
I'm good to 17 lbs. After that, I'm getting into a new tripod.
Very nice! But how long does it take you to change a lens…?
Would second SinEater's comments about the Zeiss ZFs, used a set with a RED last month and was very impressed - the 85mm was particularly nice.
Unlike the CP .2s and the RED lenses they don't have accurate distance markings though, which may or may not be a problem. They're a step up from most SLR lenses, but still not cine lenses in that sense.

The RR gear is the best. I like it more than Zacuto's rails for sure.
Their FF is the best on the market.
Looks expensive... Exactly what you want to bring to a freelance shoot.

.Yeah, I'd probably go with a rail mount thingy (sorry to get technical). To answer Chili's question - it's easy, the matte box swings out of the way and you have full access like a cheerleader on prom night.
NOTE; Don't EVER tell a cheerleader what size her f-stop is.

Ain't that the truth. How sad is that? Still, having a blast.
Lovely stuff!
That whole series is fantastic, throughly recommend it.
Series? There's a series? I've only seen 'The Trip.'
Want want want want. What's the series called?
Film was based on some characters created in a series, but can't recall the name.
I loved it as well. Could get a LITTLE tedious at times, but laughed a lot.
The Trip is the series… 6 x 30 minute episodes. If you like that you'll probably also like A Cock and Bull Story, also starring Coogan and Brydon and directed by Michael Winterbottom
Edit: Just remembered they cut the series together into a feature too, hence the confusion!
