Funny enough, the camera he's using only runs about $3000.

Glass is expensive.

yeah when I first thought about shooting dlsr i went to the 'showbiz gear store' the lenses were about 17-25k if I remember correctly, this was about 12 years ago. pretty sure they were handmade.

I had a Fuji w/a zoom that was 35k and an Angineux 25 to something or other that was 17K. That didn't include filters, matt boxes etc. So that sounds about right, but I doubt they were hand made.

Very interesting. Thanks for posting that. :thumbsup

maybe you're correct, just knew it wasn't worth the $$ to shoot blowjobs :2 cents:

Too true. You can shoot perfectly good blow jobs with a kit lens and make money. There is no room in business for vanity purchases. However, there is a reason people use expensive lenses. In my case, the more expensive the gear, the more money I would make. So it made sense.

your phone :1orglaugh

pretty much. But they don't shoot vr yet....that is a whole other world of cameras and lenses.

in the old days they used 2 cameras for 3d, one cam shot into a mirror 45 deg i believe,...

That is true. I was just having a drink with a guy that shot an adult feature that had a cinematic release in the UK and that is exactly what he described to me. All vr 3d porn is still shot with two cameras.

I did 18 years in mainstream set lighting. worked films, tv shows and theater. did live news for 5 years etc...

I agree.



Great vid, thanks for share :thumbsup
