To G. King:
I personally like 35mm over medium format. But even when I was using a
35mm, my intention was to make moving film so I used the 35mm as often
as possible like a moving camera, and not just using the motor drive for
the
Canon F1. Here is where the cat/dog analogy somewhat fails. Some of the
special effects, for example in The Matrix - where the camera makes a
360 degree turn around Mr. Reeves - were done with a series of still
cameras.
Medium format also does not go well with my Type A personality, the
rough expression in journalism is F8 & Fu__ __ ! That whole backwards
focasing thing is not for me. So you people must have a great deal of
patience. I have a cousin who is a professional, with a Portrait Studio
that type of patience and limitations are for a different type of
personality.
But also, yes ever since I've been reading Daniel Arajon's book on
Cinematography anything that can't work like a moving camera isn't of
interest to me.
I do like to test the quality of different types of lenses.
If anyone else has any experience with Zeiss, I would appreciate
their
input.
