Selling my 50D if anyone is interested - http://losangeles.craigslist.org/wst/pho/4177750258.html

I could have fixed it but I just left it, wasn't that bothered. Totally agree about some of the shots being too heavy. The shots of the computer were a different lens which vignetted heavily. The lens is a Bolex Anamorphot 8/19.1.5 which only works on smaller sensors at a maximum of 40mm and full frame about 85mm, so the 1.6 crop is great. In fact, I've been using it with my Blackmagic Pocket and it's even sharper because of the 3X crop, it uses the center part of the lens not the outside, here's an example - https://vimeo.com/77268468

The vignette is from the anamorphic for sure, but when I darkened the image in post it made it a little more present.

A short film I made shot with the Canon 50D RAW Hack. Thanks so much to the people on here for making RAW on the 50D a reality.

Native ISO is the highest such ISO of a camera, at which the analog signal is not amplified before the conversion in digital.

Good to know, thanks.

So ISO 800 is the lowest setting on the BMCC?

No, 200 is. I've no idea why they say 800 is the "native" ISO (whatever that means). I shot with it at 200 and 800 and 800 was clearly grainier as you'd expect.

24mm thread, thats amazing that there's no vignetting. Are you shooting 1584 x 1058?

24mm rear thread and 39mm front thread. And that image is on a 50. I actually just shot some footage with the Canon 40mm 2.8 pancake (which is as wide as I can go); here's a still, uncorrected - http://imgur.com/a/mAKsR - as you can see there's only a tiny bit of vignetting here, but basically none. I actually recorded at 1584 x 892. Dang it! Didn't realize I could go higher - haha. I will now. Thanks

How have other people mounted their anamorphic's?

I also use a Redstan. Works very well for what I have. Solid - http://i.imgur.com/RBPNjRr.jpg

Bolex looks great, nice ratio and no sign of vignetting too. Very cinematic. Is this the one with 39mm rear thread? What's the filter thread size of the Zeiss 50mm? There's a range of Anamorphic preview's under the display menu on tragic lantern, very useful for framing.

Tragic Lantern - good to know; I've been using the July 27th build, but I'll take a look around. It's the Bolex Moller Anamorphot 19/8/1.5 which has a 24mm rear thread. This is mine - http://i.imgur.com/RBPNjRr.jpg - I've been using it with the Zeiss 50.. 1.4 which has a 58mm filter thread. BUT, the Zeiss does create a lot of chromatic abberation which I'm a little disappointed with (especially for a $700 lens) so I may experiment with an older Nikon or Canon FD.

Not sure if the forum is past posting video stills, but I had a great shoot this weekend with my RAW 50D and a Bolex anamorphic lens on a Zeiss 50mm.

Speaking of anamorphic  Is there any chance of an anamorphic preview for the 50D RAW? I for one, would greatly appreciate it! 

Is it likely the 50D will one day be able to record 23.98 at 1920 x 1080?

Is it posible to export a low rez proxy out of After Effects (from the DNGs) into FCP or Premiere, edit and then relink to the DNGs back in AE and export a high rez final master from AE? Basically and offline/online workflow?

Is it possible to use After Effects as a online/offline workflow. For example.

DNG> ACR> AE> Export to low res proxy> Edit in FCP> Return to AE for final CC> Export high res master

The DS8111 is a great solution for indoors. I'm still hoping for a run n gun battery pack! I bought some 2200's, I guess that's the way to go. More the better. THANKS

Off topic I know, but does anyone have an external battery solution for the 50D? I was looking to buy this - http://goo.gl/to1vd - but I believe the 50D uses different batteries and so it may not work. Any ideas?

Pink screen is normal. No fix (yet).

Good to know - thanks.

I still have the pink picture when I zoom X5, I don't know if it is normal?

Pink picture here too. Have yet to find a fix (if there is one)...?

The June 9th build works amazingly well for me. THANK YOU! Consistant, stable recording at 67 MB/s (KomputerBay 1000x 64). I still have the issue when I zoom in, I get a pink frame. Any fixes for that?

And also: I shoot with an anamorphic lens and in the past I've used the Anamorphic Preview setting - http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=3323.0 - Does anyone know if/how I can combine the anamorphic preview setting with Raw recording?

Apologies if this has already been answered, but.... What do I do when I get .RAW (4.28GB) and .R00 (1GB) files, neither of which I can process? Is there a save? THANK YOU

Has onyone tried out a 600x Komputerbay card? If anyone has and gets continuos rec on 1:1 I will go for that one.

Just got my 600x Komputerbay 32 from Amazon and tested it. No go. Cannot get more than 100 frames, 25.2 MB/s. Gonna return it.  My 1000x's 64 and 32 work well.

Has onyone tried out a 600x Komputerbay card?

I have one on its way. Will report back.

Now get some stabilizer

I know, I know 

Here's a video I shot yesterday, walking about my neighborhood - https://vimeo.com/67793246 - I used Lightroom for most of the grade, in that I exported a few presets into ACR and then used ACR.

so a Komputerbay 600x UDMA6 (min write speed 60) could be enough? It costs 1/3 than the 1000x!

It could be! I'll try it and see, but its cutting it very close and there's no room for growth if they get 1080 going

Max 57/58 here. KomputerBay 32 / 64 1000x
