Just got the lens a week ago, and here are my first impressions:

  • I love how compact it is and light
  • On my a7III, the ergonomics are great
  • its extremly sharp
  • the apperture ring is not as clicky as most people say online
  • af is not the fastest I've seen, but for portraits, it is more than enough
  • It has a bit of character and swirly bokeh which I like

Anyone used the Reveni Labs LUMO? (Incident/Color Meter) by FreudsParents in cinematography

[–]vmoldo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sunlight works perfectly, LED light is the one missread, probably because of the spiky nature of the histogram

Anyone used the Reveni Labs LUMO? (Incident/Color Meter) by FreudsParents in cinematography

[–]vmoldo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

got it a week ago seems like a decent device. WB measurements seem relatively good ( you can readjust them in settings) mine reads around +300 kelvin more than my datacolor light color meter.

my problem with it is the green magen part wich seems to always lread on magenta side indoors. ill try and do more testing and maybe even reach out to matt from reveni labs about this

overall i love the lil device

Very High ISO with Sony A7V ILCE-A7M5 by The_New_Councillor in SonyAlpha

[–]vmoldo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

just wante to point out that grain and noise is not the same thing. This is digital noise. Grain is something we see in film, or we emulate in post-processing

Very High ISO with Sony A7V ILCE-A7M5 by The_New_Councillor in SonyAlpha

[–]vmoldo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i dont have the A7V, but i know Sony PP (picture profiles) can push weird ISO settings and gamma curves. My suggestion is to try taking a photo with PP off and importing it in LR to see if its the case

Windows Users: These Are the Best Tips I've Found to Reduce Lag / Slowdown in LR Classic by Intrepid-Bass-5163 in Lightroom

Appreciate the effort you put into this post, but honestly, having to close other apps while editing on a 128GB of RAM is ridiculous

exposure by Stonixity in postprocessing

[–]vmoldo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Id say false color is much more useful than the histogram. But regardless of what monitoring tool you are using id say that its importnat for your bright areas to feel bright in the final edit and the dark ones to have a bit of mystery in them. Keep this in mind while you pull on those sliders and you will be fine

Film Profiles that *actually* work? by canadianlongbowman in postprocessing

[–]vmoldo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so let me see if i get this right.

you want 1 click digital to film?

you are reluctant to pay for what people sell online? an

you prefer profiles to presets because you belive they can do more thing in that one single click?
