Dear Mr. Koo:
BLA, BLA, BLA, BLA, BLA, BLA, BLA, BLA, BLA, BLA, BLA, BLA, BLA, BLA, BLA, BLA, BLA, BLA, BLA, BLA, BLA, BLA, BLA, BLA, BLA, BLA, BLA, BLA, BLA, BLA...
Whatever I may write, it's going to fall short. I think you really DON'T know how many people you are helping with NFS…
I've subscribed more than 4 years ago (I think I was one of the first 100, I don't know, you do!) and since… I can count with one hand's fingers HOW MANY DAYS I DIDN'T check on what was new at NFS… Even in those "low news" seasons!.
So, today I only want to thank you for keeping this up!!!
If a good man is the one the gives back, more than he receives… then you are a very, very good man.
Lastly, I wish a long, successful and happy life for you.
Sincerely,
WR

Such an awesome resource!

I'm in the same boat. It's invaluable to have such an easy resource to keep up to date. Especially when everything get's turned upside down each year!
April 7, 2014 at 4:35PM, Edited September 4, 8:56AM
Wow -- thank you so much Walter, means a lot to hear that!

I know you guys are working hard right now, but did you miss the most important camera release of all ?

Okay, I'm exaggerating, but I hope Bolex hang in there.
April 7, 2014 at 3:12PM, Edited September 4, 8:56AM
Actually, I'm surprised this hasn't been covered by NFS yet.

I believe this is a groundbreaking news:

Haha it's like watching the olympics here! Maybe next year we get a 4k live stream from NAB!
Seriously, good stuff NFS!

Why does Canon even bother to show up anymore. Decision between BlackMagic and Sony A7S now that Canon has ZERO to offer.

Hello,
Thanks for all the great reports and resources.
I was wondering if there were any significant announcements regarding PL lenses, I know Cooke was showcasing their anamorphics and the Leica Summicrons had some buzz, but other than that I have not been able to find information on glass at NAB anywhere...
If you have some info it would be great!
Thanks!

You guys killed it with your NAB coverage. Keep doing this and I have no reason to go to Vegas! Thanks.
