Hi,

I have to agree on what’s said before. The lens that comes with the ex-1 and ex-3 is amazing by itself. It really has little to no abberation, preforms really well when zoomed or stopped down. I wouldn’t change it. we use it ENG style all the time with no complaints.

For filmish upgrades:
We did shoots with the letus, and that was really nice, but just for the 35mm look. I can recommend that configuration too. Do use the ultimate for more shutter speed options and little to no vignetting.

And by the way, the lcd on the ex-1 and 3 is much better than the one on the 700. Don’t waist all that money on the 700, give it to some orphans in Africa or something.

Have fun upgrading!

Hi,

I just did a job on some pretty nasty clipping audio. The worst thing about it was, that the distortion came from the transmitter of my wireless lavier mic and we had the camera on auto… thus the compressor was needly doing its work an making sure all the distorted audio was reduced in signal level, but the audio was abviously still distorted.

I tried to reduce clipping with abobe audition using clip restoration to no avail, probably because of the problem described above, I mean, I think the software looks for peaks in signal level, and it didn’t find any necessary distortion there.

I didn’t try soundforge yet, what I did now is isolate all the distorted audio and eq all the worst frequencies out of it. Still ugly, but much better. Not sure what the client will think of it. haha. I already talked to him about the problem on set though, so he’s prepared.

I’ll try Chris’ method too…
