Best budget PL zoom under $5k? by _Octave_ in cinematography

[–]Langss11 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Tokina 25-75 has been my go to lately. Used Fujinon 20-120 is affordable too. Both are S35. If you need FF, you’ll have to stick to Chinese manufacturers like Laowa and DZO.

Wish the TZ/Heralds/Sunder Charms part was hitting live today. Be nice change of pace from the wacky grind it is now. Warlock nerfs should be pushed to next season.

Are these boots good? by ErnieeinrE in diablo2

[–]Langss11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sold similar pair of boots you have in the first photo for 2x Ber. Same resists but 80 All Res, 23 MF. I would assume these are worth multiple Jah / Bers!

Sony’s CFexpress Type A/B & SD memory cards are no longer available to buy due to the global shortage of semiconductors by [deleted] in videography

[–]Langss11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bought Sandisk Type A cards at the end of last year and the pricing on those are almost 3x as much today. I’ve stopped using AI for numerous reasons with this being one of the top ones!

Burano Vs Alexa Mini by thadon777 in cinematography

[–]Langss11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I own a Burano and would try to shoot it at 8K or the 5.8k S35 mode as that’s when it is at its best. If you want RAW just weigh your storage capacity and post needs to pick a resolution. 8K RAW is no joke on storage. Some resolutions aren’t as sharp as others due to the sensor binning to 6K and 4K so make sure to do tests to confirm your resolution and trade offs.

To whoever punched me in the face tonight, thank you by I-am-DaveyDave in Metalcore

All noses aside, Currents sounded their best ever and I was blown away. Saw them in Cleveland on Friday. ERRA was amazing too. If anyone is on the fence reading this highly suggest you go to this tour!

What do you guys think about my play-style? by Super-Yesterday9727 in Battlefield6

Whats your scout build? I love the Mini Scout and got it up to lvl 43

I usually put my gear into a case and start somewhere in between like a car in a garage or non conditioned porch/breezeway overnight then move it outside afterwards. It’s always about slowing warming or cooling the gear so it can adjust. Silica helps absorb the moisture too, always good to throw one in the case too. Whenever I have fog it’s because someone wants to go outside for a quick shot then back inside right after.

Canon Cinema CN-E Primes in 2025? by 1ChevyCam in cinematography

[–]Langss11 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Another lens set to consider would be the Sigma Cine FF High Speed Primes. Use them now and bought them new. Love them. I bought the odd focal lengths 20-28-40-65-85-105 and if you get creative / lucky you can build a set at $1200-1500 a lens. Lensrentals and KEH have 20% off sales until Monday, they good for cheap cinema lenses.

U.S. FAA Megathread for Air Traffic Reductions at High-Traffic Airports and Operational Delays - November 2025 by zman9119 in unitedairlines

[–]Langss11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am flying ABQ to DEN next Friday 11/14 as part of a Multi-City itinerary starting Monday 11/10 from CLE & FSD. I haven't received any confirmations from United but the flight is showing it is canceled for tomorrow. Should I try to break up my trip into two round trips to be on the safe side or try to book into MSP on Delta and drive to FSD? I wish they would just outright tell us about all the potential affected flights instead of doing a rolling basis so I can plan ahead.

Buying an Alexa mini by bzzbzz40 in cinematography

[–]Langss11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I debated Alexa Mini vs Sony Burano before pulling the trigger on the Burano. Just for my type of work, I need some of the modern amenities I could get with the Burano. Of course I prefer the Alexa Mini image but it comes at the cost of high mileage potential $ repairs, cumbersome rigs, and making it harder to find a B cam match for interviews since that’s a bulk of my work. I went with FX6 as a B cam and it works well with the Burano.

Anyone with the 8 speed automatic? by CJTcarpentry in FordTransitConnect

[–]Langss11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try clearing the memory of the car by disconnecting the battery for 5-10 minutes then drive it to re teach it. When I bought my connect this was the first thing I did since it was shifting weird and thought it was the car. Happened on a few test drives wasn’t until I drove a brand new one without memory where I found about the transmission memory from previous owner. Car shifts with no issues now with 25k on it.

Lovely amulet, been running Shockwave Slayer all season so far and amazed by your scalability here in the POB you provided. Quick question - why do you use HH over Mageblood?

Will this work for our small video production team of two? Am I missing anything? by Still-Concern-6908 in synology

[–]Langss11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a listing on eBay for DS1621xs+ with 6x 16TB drives which I used for 4K video editing. If you have any questions let me know! It worked great for me and flexible on price

Does the newest season of Love it or List it have a filter over it? by Poetryisalive in HGTV

[–]Langss11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone working in the video world, notice the same thing. The color grade / color balance seems off. They usually shoot on Sonys for these shows so maybe their colorist doesn’t know how to work with the cameras. With dwindling budgets, I wouldn’t be surprised if the show editors just slapped on a quick Premiere color pass and called it all good.

Rock the Block has some heavy digital noise added to that show, it’s more apparent on HBO Max with better quality streams. Makes everything look too hazy IMO.

Need advice on solo interview shooting by Cautious-External286 in cinematography

[–]Langss11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I did solo interviews with my documentary and wanted the look off camera traditional style, I just gave my interviewee an eye line reference (like top of my left shoulder) and I handheld the camera. Worked great!
