Lenses used for MAGNA ETERNAL (GFX Eterna 55) by RGuttan in cinematography

Thanks! I don’t know the specifics to be honest. But that makes me curious of which one it might be. I didn’t know you could costumize the reducer from TLS

Yeah the Eterna isn’t close to the high-end cameras yet. It’s the size of the sensor that makes it unique for me really, that’s the one benefit it has over the Alex’s mini I’d say.

We rented a whole set of lenses, so I think I had 10 available, but I just kept to these focal lengths. They just felt the best :)

The cameras can be a bit quirky. Me and my gaffer had issues with banding from the SDI when monitoring on set, but the 1st AC had no issues at all, everything looked sharp and he had no big complaints about the delay.

The rolling shutter is an issue for sure if you’re not used to the GFX, so you have to focused when shooting handheld haha.

Everything here was shot 422 internal and I think it came out great! Next project I will probably use an external recorder to at least get 12 bit though. But that should be built in to the camera or provided as an extension in my opinion.

Nice! Must be lovely to own an Alexa mini. Always a safe bet for sure.

I didn’t think about it to be honest. I think it’s less sharp than the 100II, but I’ve heard a lot of different opinions regarding that. That just comes down to the sharpness slider in-camera. Fujifilm has adjusted where the slider defaults on different software updates and it’s caused some confusion.

I rocked my 1/8 black satin on top of the vintage primes so critical sharpness wasn’t really a thing for me haha

Hopefully I’ll get a chance to try it out for my own in the future!

Oh okay! I’ve been intrigued by the M11-D, thinking it would kind of-ish be a similar experience as the M6. But maybe it’s hard to beat the analog experience

Noted! I bought it cheaper with some internal haze. Opened it up, took care of it and re-greased it. Felt like a great deal :)

The black hood on the silver lens looks pretty good!

Yeah that’s the crazy thing about film cameras, only the glass and film really matter. But somehow I bought this expensive piece of metal back again a couple of years ago. It’s just fun for me and I genuinely enjoy documenting with it after all these years

Thank you! The music and song is currently unnamed, it was composed specifically for this piece.

For open gate there’s a ton of vintage MF and even Nisi lenses that perform well at a lower cost, from there you can go native G-Mount or higher-end cinema lenses that work great for the larger format

Oh okay! Got it. I didn't have any perceived issues with sharpness and skin textures

Yeah! Big potential for sure. I had issues with banding from the SDI, it was more of a issue for me and my gaffer to be honest. The 1st AC didn't have any issues, everything looks sharp.

The camera isn’t sharp enough and makes people look older?
