Probably worth mentioning that this article is from 2016, but I'm sure not much has changed. In fact, this article may have been inspired by a much longer piece from the previous year (1) which focuses on the kinds of dropout teens tha

I think companies like Grabb-It Labs only make the world more hellish. I really don't understand why you would start a company like this. On my commute each day they've started video advertising on my local bus and also in the s

I agree. However, I also realise that in being the 'face' of these things that he is truly just that: a mere face, a phantom, an archetype in the collective psyche. Behind all this is a flawed human (like the rest of us) who is

My only technique is to calmly ask them questions based on their beliefs. I also don't really set out to change minds, but occasionally it can be amusing to watch people walk you through the goofy logic of their fringe beliefs.

That's a great community. Everyone's level-headed (no pun intended) and not at all snobby or elitist about various modules.

I'm finding it difficult to understand what you mean by 'uploading'. Do you mean in some kind of Mixed Reality scenario where we are interacting with virtual assets?

You don't think that trivialises the issue just a touch? We're talking about an institutionised score which effectively administers your social mobility.

You'd be far less cringey if you could back up your wild hand-waving with actual points or arguments. I actually own lenses by both of these manufacturers. I have Sigma's GL optics cine glass. I have some vintage Tokina glass th

You're right. Vignetting is completely irrelevant. Nothing better than buying an 8k camera that you can only shoot 6k/7k on.

Perhaps you should walk away from this thread. You're only humiliating yourself further.

They don't stay consistently sharp at all apertures. They introduce chromatic abberation at different T stops. The out-of-focus area is less pleasant. I could go on ... Master primes aren't right for every job, but they're

You would choose Tokina glass over high-end Arri or Zeiss for aerals if both were available in the Red FF35 format? Please walk me through your decision-making here.

It's a neat camera, but it's really unfortunate that you can't put industry-standard cinema glass on it (eg, Master Prime, Summilux, Cooke etc). Spending all that money on body and rigging, then having to use a Tokina or Sigm

If you're interested in this subject, Robert Hughes wrote a fantastic reflection about the mythic days of generous staff expense accounts at Time. Truly unfathomable today. (1) https://www.vanityfair.com/culture/20
