Join Jay P and Lars in February’s edition of Trends from the Trenches. We will talk about the new Arria Alexa XT B&W camera, the Fiji XT-1 mirrorless camera, The Padcaster, the advantages of the Canon c100 over the Mark 3, the new Zoom h5 Handy Recorder, and the new Tamron SP 150-600 mm lens.
As a bonus, this segment was lighted by our custom built softboxes made out of a laundry detergent bucket, a styrofoam cooler, and a bankers box! Don’t try this at home (it’s a waste of your time). Really, the lights are functional but…well you will see.
And let us know your questions and what you want to hear in our next episode. Thanks! Keep those cameras roll’n and keep on click’n.
JP and Lars, thanks for the Trends from the Trenches.
I’ve actually been eye balling the Tamron 150-600 lens to use for bird and/or animal photography.
It’s a large lens, but not terribly heavy, and at a price point that makes it very attractive when comparing to one of Canon’s large and expensive 400 or 600mm prime lenses.
Hi,
Question for Lars, He mentioned that he was going to get an Arri Amira when they become available next qtr, in view of the price released by Arri, see:

At $40,000 does it still seem a stand out choice against the C300 (or even C500) and the price reduced Red Scarlet.
I would be very interested in your views.
Love the blog and valuable advice, avid follower of your trench discussions.
Best
Stephen
