CML - Cinematography Information & Discussion

The charts that we link to here were created by reading the green values from all exposured in 8 bit mode.

The valus at Base T22 exposed at T22 and Base T2 exposed at T2 are "normal" interestingly although my Minolta Flashmeter IV indicated that these were identical exposures they're not. That's why I've included both. The base exposure was based on ISO320

For those of you who have difficulty reading charts.....

The results appear to show.....

Sony F900R is 400-500 ISO

F950, F23 and "normal" Viper are 320 ISO

Varicam is 250 ISO (this surprises me and I'll re-test)

Viper with cc30M is 160 ISO

D-20 is 125 ISO in either mode

Sponsorship of CML

CML is maintained mainly by sponsorship, this sponsorship enables us to continue to grow and provide a continually expanding information service to all those involved in cinematography.

JPB of Aaton came up with the original suggestion of basing sponsorship on $1 per member per year. We have now outgrown this as we are too big now to justify this level of support and it's been fixed at $2,400 per year for the last 5 years.

For this a sponsor gets a logo on the web-site header which appears on all 3,000+ pages and a tag on every message posted via CML.

We sent out 33.4 million email messages in the last 12 months. They also get access to private mailing lists that we can set up for their specific requirements.

Our current sponsors are listed below please mail me if you want more info.
