Redrock, Cinevate, Letus and Shoot 35 make high quality flips than lose next to no light.

My Nikon 17-35mm f2.8, 80-200mm f2.8 Nikon and Hartblei shift tilt 85mm f2.8. I\u00a0def can see CA in some shots. Though my biggest problems were my own\u00a0incompetence! First off the dust got into the Blade when switching elements. So I had to hide that as much as I could. Secondly I knocked the speed down to minimum accidently and couldn&#8217;t tell until I got home and ingested into my mac. On my EX1 LCD, I couldn&#8217;t see any problems. What I got was visible patterning of the GG and some godawful flickering. All my fault and it meant I had to junk 90% of my footage.<\/p>\n<p>I prefer the Bokeh of the RR2, it&#8217;s more filmic, but the RR1 is def sharper. So it&#8217;s a toss up. The Blade is a very nice unit and it is capable of delivering some really high quality images when used properly (!)<\/p>\n<p>Here is the resulting short made of the little usable footage I could salvage&#8230; <a href=\"http:\/\/philipbloom.co.uk\/films\/35mm-films\/bexhill-on-sea\/\">Bexhill-on-Sea<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/bexhill-on-sea-test-short-made-with-sgblade-rr2\/\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"social\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground:  !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 100% !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"yst_prominent_words":[1257,804,1256,468,722,994,1260,1259,1255,1184,1258],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2059"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2059"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2059\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2059"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2059"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2059"},{"taxonomy":"yst_prominent_words","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/yst_prominent_words?post=2059"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
