Hi, I have recently used the Peleng 8mm on my K-3. You get a pretty wide angle, but not an extreme one. Lines at the edges will be slightly bent though. I...
I've posted this file before. It's a short test of the same moving shot, changing F stops / filters, using both the stock Meteor and then a Peleng 8mm. I did...

Yeah thanks. I've checked out the film, I was really impressed! I think I can tell which shots were done with the peleng. Also my vote for the 3 DV shots are...

I'm really thinking about shooting a short film on my k-3. But it has some dialgue in it. I tried seeing how quiet I could make my camera by wrapping a towel...
Ok . . . in one word, no. Don't make a blimp, it's pointless. The camera is not running at a crystal controlled 24, so it'd be all out of sync real quickly...
It'll be the new El Mariachi! This is exactly how Robert Rodgriguez (El Mariachi, Desperado) had to do his sound on his movie El Mariachi. He was using a loud,...
I have heard that several million dollars were spent fixing the sound on El Mariachi before it was released. Perhaps this is true. I am all in favor of the...
I heard that Columbia spent something like $350,000 to make El Mariachi ready for distribution -- not millions. Anyone have the straight dope on the cost? ...

From a Sep. 6, 1993 article in Daily Variety: "Robert Rodriguez's debut feature, "El Mariachi," was shot in 14 days on a budget of $ 7,000 before Columbia...
El Mariachi's low budget was a big part of how it was marketed. I am dubious of the figure cited below. FWIW: A friend of mine shot a full-length feature on...
regarding the sound: finished 35mm print sound is different than the basic tracks that rodriquez put together. His mix, that he sold to columbia, was ...
Hi, I am looking into buying an 85 and a polarizer; I was just wondering what you guys are using ie: 77mm screw-in filters or matte box/ filter holders? Any...
I prefer square filters as you can use them with multiple camera systems. I find the cokin system works fine and the P series is just big enough to cover the...
Hi everyone, I'm gearing up to use my K3 to shoot some animation (both 2D animation-stand cel animation, and 3D outdoor pixilation), as well as some live...
The grey card thing is BS. You don't need it. Sekonic is a good basic lightmeter. I would go with the NON digital - it's less expensive, plus digital was...
Any meter which will give you an accurate incident reading will do. No reason to spend more money than you have to on that. A grey card is a good first step in...

Thanks Douglas. Using the Cokin system, did you have vignetting problems with short focal lenghts (17mm on the K3)? Have you got an additional sunshade or home...
I've not had any vignetting problems with the system. I'm using the P system though and not the smaller A system. They also have an X system that's roughly...
MessageI just got my K-3. I didn't expect it to be so heavy. Love it though because it feels like a real peice of equipment unlike the super 8 toys I'm used...
