09Nov First look at the Z-cam E1 camera 4k M43 body
I often complain about kickstarter projects, over the years I’ve had bad luck with ruffly two out of every 3 campaigns I’ve contributed to.

19Dec Canon 24-70mm f2.8 cinema converted lens
I’ve been seeing these start to pop up on ebay. It’s a Canon 24-70mm f2.8 lens that’s had a cinema conversion done.

When I walked by the Tokina booth at NAB, they had this prominently displayed out front. A Canon 5d mark III with the prototype 11-16mm attached.
