This article isnt a full review but more of an experiment /test and my impressions of the Sigma 50mm F1.4 ART. After having a pre order in since the first day the 50mm was announced I received it a day after a big commercial shoot. I was so bummed! It would’ve been a perfect shoot to […]

Get Your Zacuto C100 Z-Finder Pro To Stay In Place Without Z-Bands
The Zacuto C100 Z-Finder Pro is a slick way to overcome the EVF issues with the C100. It slips right over the LCD screen turning it into an EVF. Brilliant! The only issue is the Z-Bands don’t hold the C100 Z-Finder in place. Not so brilliant. I stumbled across a fix when I was on […]
