I’m 43. I had a messed-up childhood (drugs and violence). My parents were serious addicts (still are). I need the free weights, the camera hobby, and God to help me keep my mind off of the past. If you met me in person you would think I was career military, even though (and unfortunately) I never served a day.

With all the publicity over the Blackmagic, it actually looks as if the Digital Bolex release will more or less coincide, which should be interesting.

That statement is a bit misleading and doesn’t in anyway represent the production volume that BMD will be able to pump out. You must take into account that production halted almost immediately after an initial run of cameras were manufactured after it was discovered there was an issue with the glass covering their sensors. It took months to test every possible variable in the logistical model of receiving said glass, which involved a 3rd party manufacturer. This takes time in order to figure out where the problem is coming from… then of course you have to figure out how to solve the problem.

I think BMD has been very open and forthcoming about the challenges facing the production process and are doing the right thing by being honest as opposed to simply promising something and saying nothing as these things come up… I”m sure once they do fire up completely into production, with these glass issues resolved that they’ll be able to meet their pre-order quota much quicker than 1 year from January…

That being said, it would be most prudent to wait til mid-January at which point I’m sure we’ll have a more accurate idea of how many cameras will be produced and how quickly. Best of luck til then.

Yeah, for me god isn’t real too, but for those who Believe in the concept, it si real in their qualia inner process… So, each one with their Beliefs! Even the materialistic view is just a view, not the right one nor the last one. Religion of science (prof. David Noble term) sounds the “right” reality tunnel because we create tools from it. Informational physics and quantum mechanics and the holographic concept give room for all Beliefs to coexist , so why we atheists need to attack the reality tunnel of deists if even sir issac Newton was a deist, An alchemist and a scientist?

In the end all certain is impermanent… Lide buddha and the scientific method shows us when paradigms shift!

“Get some, or get out of the way.” ….that’s badass. Actually, I’m gonna make that my XBox motto and yell it over & over again on Call of Duty. Just saying though, Normally I’d tell you to take your condescending b.s. and go fist yourself with it:) probably because I respect myself. But because I actually do respect God, I won’t.. Kill 2 birds with one stone. Nobody gets on a filmmaking website and gets that deep guys.. Well… – Actually somebody inspired this post. Alas, nothing surprises people these days so it’s easy to see the humor do a fly-by. I should’ve expected “Life’s hard, ya pasty Care Bear. Put some dirt on that shit & grow some seeds.” If I ever go into battle, I want you in the trenches with me man. You sound hard & your name is Razor. I bet you rode out of the womb on a Harley through Rock concert pyro, with a Magruber mullet and some chains. Lit a cigarette and burnt your umbilical cord off… Looked around the room. “‘ -the f-ck are you lookin at Dr. Oz?”

Further, what you need to remember is, films are shot on Super35, not FF sensors. So when thinking of the BMCC’s sensor, think of it versus a Super35 crop – 1.5X vs 2.3X. The crop isn’t as severe as you think.

And a 50mm is a bitch on a 1.5X crop sensor anyway…

With the MFT model, there is a 12mm T1.6 available with lens and aperture gears for $500 – gives the FoV of a 27mm on an FF sensor.

For those buying the EF BMCC, there is the Tokina 11mm – 16mm F2.8 – which equates to a 25mm – 36mm FoV FF equiv.

Most films don’t shoot wider than 24mm. From DPs I’ve spoken to over the years, most films are shot between 24mm – 35mm.

Obviously you have no respect for God or for yourself… get some or get out of the way.
