How do you find focussing?

Shoreditch Design week is looking pretty cool especially the Design Burger 100 just around the corner from the Town Hall.

Mine has just turned up, slightly squashed but that's OK!

Finally got a replacement lens for my R4!

Ah, I see. Not something I'm familiar with tbh but below is a link to a Christopher Frost review of it. He seems to like it! View: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=umdTHQtfpro

Thank you for that I realised too late I should have had a third choice of neither or similar option. A draw in effect. When looking at a still image what looks natural isn't really a question only if the viewer believes it does, or does not depending on what one is going for.

Sorry realspeed but which lens are you looking at? I'm not sure what you mean? Needless to say YT compression is no ones friend. Technical considerations aside which ofvthe two clips looks more natural or even which do people prefer?

It's a fair question but which ordinary lens? This video is a 65mm with a projector lens mounted in front of it. So I could take an image with a 65mm but the anamorphic factor effectively changes the film format, sort of an extreme crop factor but in reverse. I could use the 65mm on its own or a...

The rules do change and people do talk about rules changing but as far as I am aware this really is below the personal import vat threshold (unlike all those fake hardware valuations some people here like to import). If there are costs to pay then I will pay them, it's only fair.

So it does, that changed since I ordered. Now do I need two pro packs?

Thank you Kell, Apparently I got the last one!

I bought an Ensign Selfix 16-20 from a local charity shop for £8. The lens is quite poor condition and the slow speeds stick but I took it out to the local dog toilet with an out of date roll of Portra 160. Some I nailed the focus and exposure, some I didn't! It was super sunny so slow speeds...
