You really can't go wrong with Monty Python. I've taken John Cleese 's portrait.
He is priceless... I've never laughed so much....

One of my favorite video's is The Ministry of Silly walks:

Hey... the guy looking for funding has a good walk... the little pause thing could even help slow focusing systems     ..... just kidding around

But seriously speaking anyone that can keep a straight face when Mrs Two Lumps comes in with the coffee has the best self control skills possible!!!

Yet another example of Fred's dislike toward digital medium format and if it's not shot with a Fuji then is can't be good behavior.   This got old on the other forum and it's old here.

It understandingly also got banned on the other forum!!!

Could it be that I'm Brian getting beaten up by the Biggus Backusses  ..... please read this just as a joke and no more

Monty Python, John Clease, Michael Palin are very good and at a very high artistic and funny levels!

The acqusations made on P1 video, along with the OPs, complete erroneous rampage at anything medium format digital, medium format camera - except his long since discontinued ancient obsulete old Fuji - seem to come across as stemming from sheer mental imparity.

And what it does to credibility in photography or of photographic gear? No, not referring to P1, they are reputable indeed...

At least my 100% frank open view.

Best,

Sheer mental imparity!

You on the other hand take a strong position on the DF video despite not having owned one. I have and unfortunately it can't do what it claims is done in the video.
However image quality on way more static work is excellent.

Has anyone else noticed that you can't hear the auto focus motor
at any point in the video or see the lens focusing grip move?

The auto focus motor is quite noisy and close enough to the sound of the shutter that it should be heard in video.

Anyone that has used the DF knows that the focus has to be turned on in two places.
On the body and the lens if the lens has either an auto focus ring or the push pull mechanism such as that on the
150mm 2.8 IF.
