Article Comment – Beyond 35mm: Vantage Has Introduced Anamorphic Lenses for 65mm Cameras

Great video, showing off all the different settings. I think the Hawk's look good on a constant focal length, but when the rack's come in they look positively awful compared to the Cooke anamorphic smooth and more natural looking transitions...the distortion effect is very noticeable and ugly to my eyes.

Article Comment – Canon's New C100 Mark II Gets 1080p 60fps & Improved LCD/EVF

Hi man, thanks for your reply also. This is the only rig I would currently consider (as it gives you same capabilities of the FS7, even slightly better with the focus drive) store.zacuto.com/recoil-handgrip-kit/

In addition to that I'd also have to add an external recorder however... So overall more like £1000-1500. Then I'm very close to the FS7 price - plus that would give me 4K...which is just future-proof. I mean even if you don't need it right now. You could do stockfootage stuff which is good additional business...

Can you tell me what type of work you do ? And how do you make the camera work for you? Surely you have a shoulder rig and or glidecam? I just think the ergonomics are actually pretty bad of the C100/C300/C500 line. Hard to shoot from the hip in a run and gun way anyway. Perhaps for shorts or features it works. But for broadcast, doc, events even weddings, cant see how its any good.

What do you shoot mainly then? Corporates and event things? I mostly do Web documentaries but want to move into broadcast docs and factual. I will probably go for the FS7 due to its broadcast approved colorspace and data rate.

But even more important is the intelligent handle on the FS7, then lets you control most aspects of the system with one hand (even zoom if you use Sony glass). If you want anything like that with Canon you need to invest another £500-800 for a good rig.
