IMDB is correct, The Last Samurai was shot in the 2.40 anamorphic format using the Panaflex Millennium XL and Arri 435ES cameras with E- and C-Series primes and Primo zooms.

Here is my story: My grandmother used to have an old farmhouse (150+ yrs) in northeast Ohio, and it had younger additions and rooms built onto the original structure. As a result, the main living room had this vent that resembled an attic vent near the top of the cathedral-style ceiling, and the ven...

The Sekonic Studio Deluxe II L-398M is a very good model. I bought mine new about 6 years ago for $175 USD. I think they sell new for about $150 or less now.

It cuts down polarized light - i.e. reflections from glass, blue sky, etc. - and as an effect of this, it can saturate the colors in your scene without altering the color balance. Although, its effectiveness c...

As far as I can tell it uses 3x 1.2 Volt AA batteries, which I have tried. Don't you mean 6 AA batteries of the 1.2V NiCd variety? :?: I can guarantee you that it won't work properly with just 3... This may seem obvious, but check and make sure the batteries are fully charged too. There is a releas...

If you can afford it, Discreet's Cleaner (http://www.discreet.com/products/cleaner/) is a fabulous program that gives tons of options for encoding to the web as well as VCDs, DVDs, etc. Its MPEG2 encoding, by the way, is one of the best available for prosumer level programs. It also has wizards and ...

Hey all,

Has anyone dealt with Victor Nossov before? He runs http://www.realrushop.com in St. Petersburg, Russia, and he is also selling some camera equipment on eBay that looks kind of interesting. Has anyone bought anything off of him on eBay? Let me know if you have.

Thanks!

Hey Eric, good to hear you came out of the storm ok.

That's amazing that the camera came out of the storm unharmed and not buried in the sand someplace.

Again, thanks a ton!
