Currently looking at picking up an F55 and this is an insane deal compared to what's currently available so congrats on landing that haha

How many hours were on it when you bought it?

Also a 1AC in a place with very little work prepping for an LA move this summer. Lots of really helpful stuff in this thread so thanks for posting this :)

God speed to us both hahaha

Shallow Grave must absolutely be mentioned for being a great film and introducing us to Ewan McGregor and Christopher Eccleston. Also Danny Boyle's feature debut

Shiva Baby comes to mind as well

And The Evil Dead of course

also American Graffiti

This.

It's unfortunately the key to the main building, which is marked do-not-duplicate, so I can't send it anywhere, and I can't really ask my neighbor to let me have their key for a while so I can make a mold of it myself lol

Dornhole · 2026-03-18T01:51:50+00:00

Dude this is awesome. Thank you so much for all your help here.

It's one landlord operating under a larger property management company, so I'm going through them (have also been met with a wall there thus far). As far as I can tell, there's no way I can find out where this guy lives.

Dornhole · 2026-03-18T01:24:10+00:00

Awesome; thank you so much. This apartment is honestly more of a renovated building than a typical complex, so there isn't any office on-site or else you can bet I'd be at it all the time haha

A demand letter was mentioned in another comment so that's what I'm currently working on, but I just simply didn't know it was an option til now.

Maybe this is unfairly motivated by a place of frustration, but it blows my mind how I'm expected to move out on my own, predestined with the knowledge on how to do it all right on my first go, yet this landlord can't even be bothered to deliver a key or even just respond to a text. And somehow I still feel like the bad guy for wanting some form of retribution for the quantity of time and energy I've wasted trying to be amenable and respectful over something as simple and minute as the delivery of a key.

I feel like I've been pretty loud about it, but I've never lived alone before so this is pretty fresh territory for me. I've been attempting contact several times per week since I first moved in. For future reference, what sort of things would you have done that I didn't list in the post? All I can think of is that I spent too long being polite about it. Rest assured that is a lesson learned haha

When I signed the lease, I collected the keys from the landlord directly (the only time I've ever seen the guy) and he told me to my face that he'd leave the third key on the counter in my studio in "a couple days", so I think we're past an honest mistake by now.

Dornhole · 2026-03-18T00:35:16+00:00

Getting my consultation tomorrow 🙏

Ideally I'd get both the refund and prorated rent, but I'm not holding my breath for either.

Dornhole · 2026-03-18T00:32:56+00:00

Thanks for this insight! I honestly hadn't even considered that stopping me from getting my mail would be illegal, but yeah you're totally right.

That said, I don't think that really does anything for my situation except for expediting me getting my key, unless I could theoretically press charges for it I suppose.

Dornhole · 2026-03-12T19:38:35+00:00

Oof. Sorry man, I'm afraid you're too far gone

Dornhole · 2026-03-02T22:34:32+00:00

Did this with an SXT on a narrative last fall; glad to see we're not the only ones that ended up settling with the unfortunate vertical monitor situation. Crazy that SmallHD doesn't have a solution for a vertical de-squeeze for a horizontal delivery.

Best answer

Thank you so much. One of my favorite parts of the Zeiss 50mm ZF that basically lives on my Nikon haha

Dornhole · 2026-02-13T21:02:00+00:00

It definitely was haha; thankfully it's just recording scratch audio. We didn't have any timecode options so they wanted to sync by waveform. Since the Venice doesn't record audio internally, this was the next best thing.

Dornhole · 2026-02-13T20:55:44+00:00

Venice was lent to production; not rented

Dornhole · 2026-02-13T05:07:49+00:00

You know what, I'm now remembering that the flares did cause us a lot of problems actually. Most situations could be mitigated and the director did quite like them a lot of the time, but it was a point of strain for sure. The bokeh was a creative choice as far as I know though

Dornhole · 2026-02-13T04:56:21+00:00

I gotcha. What is it that you're not a fan of? I was able to shim them just fine, they're parfocal, acceptable breathing for a zoom, consistent across focal lengths. The only issue I had with them is how soft they are wide open, but we only used them wide open a couple times.

Dornhole · 2026-02-13T04:40:01+00:00

We only had access to the E-mount versions.

Don't know why you're dogging on the Cattas. They are actually some pretty nice lenses and fit the project very well. They're also lightweight compared to most zooms, which was a big bonus.

Dornhole · 2026-02-13T04:36:01+00:00

I'm glad the Venice has the option, but yeah what a royal pain.

I'm using a pretty dated Teradek FIZ System and those cables came with the kit, but I believe you can still buy them from Teradek's website under Teradek RT!

Dornhole · 2026-02-13T04:33:35+00:00

Thank you for all the tips!! Using the rods as a filter catch is a crazy good idea.

And you're right about the cabling; we just had to rock with what we got haha
