    [Jeremy Garchow] “Soon, I think our computers will just be terminals, or thin clients. All of the user experience and power will be in the cloud, truly in the cloud. “

    I really hope you are wrong about that, thin clients might be great for a lot of tasks, but not for what we do.

    Why not?

    PS, you have an F55 ,right? Do you use EOS glass on it, if so, how?

    [Jeremy Garchow] “Why not?”

    There’s no advantage to it and when your internet connection dies or gets bogged down by the latest hack attack you’re in trouble.

    Also are we going to put the reams and reams of 4K data we’ll all have up in the cloud?

    No we have Sony primes and we are using B4 glass with an adapter

    It will take a long time to get there, but imagine if there is literally no difference in speed when dragging files to/from a local hard drive vs up to the cloud.

    The advantage is that you don’t have to buy and maintain hardware and it can be used absolutely anywhere. The downside is that you don’t have to buy and maintain hardware and it can be used absolutely anywhere.

    No sh*t? How’s that working out and how does it cover the sensor? How’s the camera in general?

    It works surprisingly well, the BBC Natural History Unit use the same adapter we have and if it’s good enough for them…

    Pictures from the F55 are fantastic, it’s still a work in progress but we’ve done commercial jobs with no issues at all.

    Thank you. Is there vignetting at all from the B4 adaptor?

    What do you mean by work in progress?

    A surprisingly small amount!

    Lot’s of features missing, some of the panel controls aren’t enabled yet and the High Frame rates aren’t available yet
