Cameras

However, speed is not its greatest virtue; The great potential of this model lies in the possibility of being able to easily exchange the turret and thus be able to move from EOS mounts (Canon) to PL (Arri-cine 54mm). This fact allows versatilizar the camera during the course of the year, facilitating in addition the daily classes and elevating his provision in the final projects faced to the projection in rooms.
