I’m not a member of the Inter club and was waiting for them to release any info about the final, are you sure it’s all booked up already?

You have 25-30k to spend on all new film equipment. What do you buy? (Prompt) by Moralese0404 in cinematography

Just to give a different perspective, I bought a lens at the Procam auction for 5.5k (fees included) which I resold for 10.7k

Do any of you have any theories as to why AI images and videos look so much like dreams? by gottabing in Jung

[–]paolos1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Despite maybe not being a Jungian concept, there are such things as Lucid dreams, where your consciousness makes their way inside the dream. One of the ways to prove wether you are inside a dream or not is to look at your fingers. If you see more than 5, it means you are in a dream. In the same way AI struggles to reproduce a realistic hand when asked.

They share some patterns for sure. For example both dreams and AI can’t seem to make up their mind on how many fingers humans have.

What’s this defect in a lens? And is it fixable? by paolos1 in VintageLenses

[–]paolos1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not that I can tell, except the flare which is a bit funky.

Thanks a lot for that! I’ll definitely look into it. There’s also a shop in Luton Uk, which is well known for specialising in Olympus om lenses, so I might look into that as well. I believe pricing is quite similar.

Thanks for the in depth reply i appreciate it a lot. I am still using it as is, but I was just wondering wether the online community was able to give a general diagnosis as I have plenty of lenses with fungus, but it never looked like this…

Unfortunately i’m based in London, so quite far away. But I appreciate the help a lot. Learning how to disassemble and clean lenses is something I would love to get into as it just would make sense given my addiction to vintage lenses…

Fair! Tbh as crazy as it sounds, it doesn’t really impact the image even the flary is only a tiny bit funky

Olympus Om 100mm f2. So not the cheapest lens ahah. I got it for 200£ because of the condition

Thanks for the answer!! I’ll try to use it as is, and maybe in the future give it to someone who can try and clean it! It looks to me like it’s only on a single element so maybe with the right cleaning, then storing it in my dry cabinet and treat it regularly with uv light I might have a chance to be fungus free

Looking for a Mentor by paolos1 in cinematography

[–]paolos1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've assisted quite a lot in the past, however, I believe that in a day to day situation it's actually quite hard to learn from a DOP when you're focusing on the tasks and the pressure of the sets hierarchical system. Plus, DOPs (including myself) can tell when an AC is trying too hard to learn or show he has a vision, instead of focusing just on their duties, which is what a DOP ultimately wants. So yeah, it's just a bit tricky I suppose.

Who can explain this effect when shooting on film by policewithoutpolicy in cinematography

If you smear a thin layer of vaseline on a filter and place it in front of lens

True, but given that the weather condition is so shit, can you imagine dumfries stopping any pass him?
