MacVideo

On Saturday the 25th I will be at MacVideo live as part of a group of experts (and me) talking about all sorts of stuff. I will be talking about 35mm adaptors and the Nikon d90. I am also “interview of the week” on the macvideo website. If you are a sucker for punishment please watch! Both newsletter extracts below!

MacVideo Interview of the Week Philip Bloom:
impressions of the Sony PMW-EX3 and Letus Ultimate

In this interview Philip speaks about the successor to the PMW-EX1 -the PMW-EX3. He describes what he likes about Sony’s latest XDCAM EXcamcorder and tells just why he regards this as the EX1 done right.

Philip also discusses the Letus Ultimate 35mm still lens adapterwhich allows for interchangeable lenses to be fitted to either the PMW-EX3 or PMW-EX1.
