To buy or not to buy

I am debating buying a Sony F3 and subsequently  thinking of whether I would get the 35mm, 50mm, 85mm set of lenses that Sony has put together for the camera. I'm always hesitant to steer away from dependable, reputable companies for glass, ie: Zeiss, Cooke, Angenieux. Also, where's the 18mm or at least the 25mm?? There have luckily been some tests comparing such lenses to Sony's.

I have trusted friends who have used Sony's lenses and are not impressed with their build or their image so that usually is the affirmation of my hesitancy.

And as always Philip Bloom, for what he's worth, is there to compare these 3 cameras:

Why, Why does the F3 only offer 60fps at 720p? Man, that really is a bummer. You can see the quality difference in the video PB does of course. The F3 is by far the better quality long term camera...it's just such a large difference in money when it comes down to it. And once you get into buying a KiPro or a Nanoflash to utilize the camera's full range. It's always so exciting and nerve wracking!

Cinema Club

This picture has nothing to do with the actual Cinema Club I'm posting about...it's just an old image of an old movie theatre in the Berkshires I found. So there.

Colors and Vibrations

This is such a great idea! I'm sure there are variations on the concept, but this one is pretty wonderful. I think it's a Photron cam they used for the high speed? I can't be positive.

I operated on this16mm Arri SR2 feature film, directed by Brian Jun, which tells of a true & controversial story that took place in 80's small town Iowa. It premiered this weekend on the Life Time Movie Channel. We shot it over the course of 18 days in LA and 3 additional days in Illinois.  It meant getting to work with the fantastic John Savage who is full of, um, spunk as well as Gabriel Mann, Mark Pellegrino, Jennifer Finnigan, and Eliza Dushku. We shot the main stunts in the WB back lot out there and had a really great crew! Check out the website to know more about the story of this corrupt small town police department.

lost doc - well sort of

I watched this very compelling documentary "Guys and Dolls" a couple years back and odds are if we've had more than 5 conversations I've mentioned it in some depth to you. Well the site I found it on initially is defunct, but I found this fairly testy site and the doc. Granted this site just links you to Youtube where the doc is in pieces, but if you can deal with the inconvenience it's really fascinating.
