General Chat / Rokinon 35mm 1.4 or Canon 35mm f2 IS
December 23, 2014, 06:38:51 PM
I am tossed up between these two lenses. Any input is much appreciated.

On the one hand I love the optics and the 1.4 aperture that the Rokinon provides; but some people are saying it is much sharper towards f2 anyways. On the 35mm f2 you have less DOF but you have the IS and probably a better coating on the lens for less glares which is an obvious problem with the Rokinon.

I can get these lenses for around the same price (used) give or take $50 so I am trying to decide.

I will be attempting to use this lens on my steadicam merlin 2 among other rigs.

I would opt for the Rokinon 24mm but I already own the 14mm 2.8

Thanks guys.

Question!

If the files are unrecoverable; can I extract footage from the .R00 .R01 files?? I notice RAWMagic doesn't accept the .R00 file by itself

Hello!

For some reason 2 RAW video files on my 32 GB CF card seem to be corrupt. It would not let me transfer these 2 files; one file which was in the middle of the recorded data and one which was the last clip recorded. The other RAW files on the card transferred fine but for some reason I get an error when transferring these 2 clips. Another larger 64gb card I filled had no such issues.

QuoteThe Finder can't complete the operation because some data in "M09-0842.RAW" can't be read or written.
(Error code -36)

The sizes of the non transferable files are normal.

I tried transferring on Windows as well as OSX but, no luck.

a) I am wondering why this may have happened
b) how can I avoid this? Always format the card on a computer?
c) How can I make these dang files transfer? Recovery software?

Much thanks for any input

use the visionLOG profile instead of the ADOBE standard profile in the raw processor. that makes the difference! u get a perfekt flat picture for all the vision LUTS.
3. neat video to reduce noise and resharpen


Can you please explain this vision LOG profile? Not sure how to do that. Much appreciated

Nvm i figured that out now going to learn about LUT's

Okay

I'm going to format the card and start fresh. I won't be needing sound as I record on an h4n. Is it still the best version for a stable raw record?

thanks for the help.

Okay

I just went to the main ML site > downloads > nightly builds > platform 5d2 > "Latest Build Built on: 2014-01-25 18:10:15 -0500

Okay thank you

so I reinstalled and got the newer module working. Ran the read/write benchmark. It ran all the way through 9/9 reading: 99/100 and then stopped which Im assuming is normal because it wasnt frozen and I didnt have to take the battery out.

The read and write speeds seemed much better especially towards the end. Up to 75mb/s this time. Is the card warming up? How to really tell if your card is not performing up to the card's standards?

Noob question: I don't see the load modules button? Has it moved?

Okay might seem like a dumb question but how is the bootflag enabled? Is it already enabled? Do I use that EOS card app? Or is it the .fir file that changes the bootflag?

Sorry as there seems to be a plethora of different tutorials and ways to do this and it becomes rather confusing between cameras.

So, I go about installing ML like I normally would with the standard 2.3 files? After I install I take the card back out and replace the old files AND delete the .fir file?

Much thanks

okay I tried to do a fresh install now I'm getting a FONTS.DAT not found error. Hmm.. I'm doing something wrong.

1. format card in camera

2. drag over 5D2-212.fir from ML website download on to root folder of EOS Card

3. Now from this other folder "magiclantern-v2.3.NEXT.2014Jan25.5D2212" I am dragging over autoexec.bin and ML folder which contains modules etc.

Is this not how you do it?

Hi there,

on my 5dmk2 I can't seem to get through a benchmark without the camera freezing on the screen and me having to pop out the battery. Any clue as to why this may be?

I'm testing a 32gb transcend 1000x and the results that I CAN get are disappointingly slow. Only getting around 46-55mb/s write speed if I'm reading this correctly. Supposed to be "Up to 160mb/s" write for this card.. Not sure if it's a bad card or what do you guys think?

any hints or tips appreciated.

Also am I running an older version of the raw record module because I see some people's screenshots with more advanced options. All I see for options is "Start" "Width" and "Height" in which custom resolutions don't seem to be available (ie. presets skips from 1320 to 1920)

Thanks!
