Top threads this week

  1. Why is The Love Witch (2016) the only modern movie to even come close to achieving the technicolor look? Why is it so rare?

  7. I made PL mounts for old Fujinon Broadcast Zooms, anybody wants one?

  8. FX5 has landed but one massive thing they need to fix. FALSE COLOUR TURNS OFF WHEN YOU START RECORDING, meaning you cannot check FC exposure when recording, please fix this Sony! Such an oversight on what is a 5 grand camera. Day 1 footnotes below.

    Day 1 FX5 footnotes for those who might end up working with one soon: False Colour: Once recording starts the Cam OP cannot turn it on using the button Sony made just for it, ironically. Of course...
