My choice for camera was quite simple. My Director of Photography was advanced in the technicalities of the Canon 7D, as he himself is an owner of this fine piece of equipment. Also, other members in my group were planning to utilize the Canon aps-c sized sensor and its qualities. The more heads with information can only make mine and my DP's job a little simpler.
The camera choice was easy, and after using a few different lenses, my choice of glass was made even simpler. I had the privilege of using the Zeiss primes with different focal lengths and it was clear where my vision lied. You hear constantly that the camera doesn't matter as much as what's in front of and behind it. That has never come into focus as well as it did with a Canon and Zeiss coupling. My photographer was extremely capable of racking focus with the fine quality leant by Zeiss' engineering and it rendered beautiful imagery. The amazing details cannot be described, only seen.
Our training in TCF begins with the JVC, and it has taken me awhile to garner any respect for the camera. I believe being forced to work with any tool urges a loathing of the such that can only be diminished when doors open to new experiences. Learning more about the JVC has also given me a heightened respect, but being allowed to experiment with other tools has broaden artistic horizons as well. I was very grateful to be able to use the Canon 7D, but more especially the Zeiss lenses. Watching their amazing capabilities in post production has made me a believer.
