All tests show that the color space, sensor size, and sensor are far superior. Nothing gets you as close to film in my book. I shoot film and 5D. mark, I have found that the Canon 5D is still the DSLR king. All tests show that the color space, sensor size, and sensor are far superior.

Yours is the real deal for hands -on advice and techniques. No shots of blowing leaves (LOL) just real shoot of real business..right -on! I was wondering what your opinion of the panasonic gh1 and 2 series was.I love the idea of a 10 camera system plus lenses. Does the 5D + 7D give you any visual advantage over the panasonic series? Or in the end does it really matter? cheers Hi , Shane I sure appreciate the stuff you have done here. Yours is the real deal for hands -on advice and techniques.

One more question if that's ok. I have begun creating a set of Leica R glass for my 5d, and have already purchased a 28mm, 135mm and a 2x converter. I find it amazing that you guys were able to get a whole set for $5k, as the lenses listed in the Leica blog go for about $1k-3k especially the APO models. I am convinced that the prices increased after you guys posted the leica list on the blog. Anyway, my question is whether the older models 1975-85 are any good, because they are much cheaper. Thanks in advance Leon Thanks so much for your generosity Mike. One more question if that’s ok.

I worked on AAA with Shane and the team, shooting the 2nd unit and did a lot of the car mounts. We chose to use the zeiss glass on the mounts because they are a little more expendable. However, we did use Leicas on the mounts we felt would not be in a compromising position. As for the 70-210 vs the 75-200, we haven't done a whole lot of testing there. The 70-210 is made by angenieux and we like to side with the German glass for our Leica needs. If you are considering these two lenses, I can tell you the 80-200 outperforms the 75-200 by leaps and bounds. Best, Mike Leon,

I feel like I have my own Internet based mentor specific to the 5d!! I have been acquiring Leica R glass and Zeiss ZE glass on your advice, and I was wondering if you had any thoughts on the Leica R 70-210 vs the Leica R 75-200mm. Also I'm curious as to what led to the decision to use zeiss glass on the NASCAR mounts as opposed to leica - givn your preference for leica R glass first and foremost. Thanks again.

The behind the scenes videos are great. What type of articulating arm and clamp do you use to attach the Cineroid EVF to your Redrock rigs? Keep up the good work! Shane,

I am always amazed at your creativity and what you are willing to do to pull off the “money shot”! I especially like your commanding presence on the set. I have a feeling when you say “jump”..people say “how high?”. LOL Obviously this is why you are a A.C.S. member as it is quite deserved. Shane,
