Happy to sell you one of mine :) You can find me in the Facebook Group: “Ikonoskop A-Cam DII User Group”

I do not know of a way. I would just message them and ask.

@@AlecEagon I see, thank you. I guess the close focusing one is more usable for narrative/commercial

I once got caught up on this when I tried to calibrate the quadrants as well. The real question is "do the quadrant issues ever show up when you are out shooting real world shots?" As soon as I just started shooting I never noticed a single quadrant issue. When I was calibrating them, it always showed an issue. But when I actually shot on any of my three cameras, I never saw a single issue, even in low light. I may have once had an issue shooting in pitch black, but I was never going to use that footage anyway. I only ever tried the quadrant calibration on my first camera, I have never touched it on my second and third and never had a single issue. If you do have issues in the real world shooting (with proper exposures), then I would contact NOW in Sweden who manages the repair of DIIs still. They may have an idea what is going on. Hope that helps! Cheers!

Sorry for the ot, but where did you purchase one? Anyway I hope you manage to calibrate the sensor

Selling one of mine right now if you're interested! Cheers!

@@AlecEagon are you selling these lenses as well by any chance?

No, but Charles Pickel at Serious Gear will probably have one. We borrowed both of these from him and ended up buying one. www.seriousgear.com/index.htm @@TrentReinventUNFC

​@@AlecEagon hello! What is the price?

No stabilization whatsoever :) Tracking shots were on a rented track dolly. Everything else was tripod. I've never experienced shakiness/breathing in the gate with my Rex-5. Did almost nothing in color grading, had this scanned on a Spirit 4K by an incredible tech at Alphacine in Seattle (RIP). He basically made all 90% of the adjustments on the fly to get colors balanced to what they were supposed to be for 500T. I credit my lighting guys with the color grade :) Sounds to me like you might be experiencing issues with the scanning process relative to the "noise". I've had significantly "more grain" show up with similarly exposed shots/stocks that have been scanned on far inferior "interpolated" scanners such as the Black Magic one. Simply put, if 500T looks grainy to you, and you didn't underexpose it, it's the scanner making up grain where it doesn't have pixels (as I understand it) and thus you get more large and chunkier grain pieces. There is a reason the Spirit 4K scanned almost every film for DVD, and probably many for BluRay for 10-15 years in Hollywood. Still may be going strong in some places, I don't know. Cheers!

With Topaz Video AI. Cheers!

If you use really sharp lenses on it it still looks phenomenal. Also Topaz video AI also works incredibly well if you do need extra definition. But I’ve really only had to use that on much softer vintage lenses. If you go to the Ikonoskop DII page on Facebook, I just listed one of my best kits for sale. Doing some new things otherwise I would totally keep it. Still looks like nothing else. Especially the combo of this particular CCD with a global shutter… The F 35 that Sony made is about the only other camera that ever had that combo. And that camera is absolutely enormous. It would be an absolute headache to use and operate unless you’re doing something like a scripted film. The package that I just listed on the Ikonoskop group even comes with an older MacBook Pro so that capturing the cards is just straight plug and play. If you have any kind of Macintosh made in the last four or five years it should easily be able to handle playing back the Raw footage in Resolve. Just noticed that you mentioned using it with Zeiss lenses… That would probably be a fantastic combo. It is a very particular camera that does a very particular thing, but now with the wide gamut color settings in Davinci Resolve, you can pull every single beautiful color out of this camera in a way that was actually more difficult, or in some way impossible, in the past. And that is just a matter of a couple of color settings being changed.

Wow. That is exactly what we hoped to achieve. So glad you had that experience. Thank you!

So glad you like it. Nizo 801M, with the built in lens.

Thanks so much for the kind words. Really appreciate it. Hope you get to experience the magic some day!

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. JK, they did a fantastic job! www.jkcamera.com/Super16.htm

Thanks!

Yeah, I know what you mean :)

Yessir :)

@@AlecEagon I hope to use one one day! I own 2 Digital Bolex cameras and have always wanted to compare them! Have you shot any short films with it yet? 🙂

@@SuperRexProductions Nice! Yes, check out the Nike Bowerman Track Club video series titled "The Extra Year" in the "Ikonoskop Playlist" on my channel page (there are 4 videos). You can also watch them in high res with the "4K" option. Interestingly enough I am experimenting with using AI to upres those four episodes from their original 1080p to 8k definition right now. I will be reposting them on my channel in the days to come. Preliminary AI results look pretty phenomenal--bringing more life out of this camera and better usurping complete obliteration by YT compression, which punishes you for using something like a DII w/ vintage low-contrast glass. I.e. the YT compression algorithm likes high contrast and modern lens sharpness. For a point of comparison, compare the first three episodes (shot on vintage glass) to the fourth "Practice" which is shot on modern S16 Russian glass (which is much sharper)...naturally the latter compressed much better. The AI upres tho should solve all of these problems by giving YT more definition to grasp on to, while retain 98% of the color and feel of the original DII footage...again, all of this has to do with YT. If I was shooting for BluRay, I wouldn't care about AI upresing. The natural grain/noise of the DII, if you filter out the red channel, is very much like Super 16mm film grain.

@@AlecEagon Do you use an IRND filter?

Wow . These s16 or s35?

Multiple Minolta MC/MD Rokkor 35mm still lenses.

Agreed!

That's awesome! Glad you enjoyed the vibe :)

Wow, so glad you had that experience!

Thanks so much for the kind words! Very glad you liked it.

So glad you enjoyed it! Thanks!
