Couldn't find if a thread like this already exists.

I thought it would be interesting for people to recommend photography related films/documentaries. It is through sharing topics like this that I've learned of some great vid's. I'm not referring to movies that had a photography component ... I'm referring to films on photography or the photographer.

Maybe share with the film title and a link to learn more?

I'll start:

Finding Vivan Maier (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2714900/)

War Photographer (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0309061/?ref_=nv_sr_1)

Masters of Wedding Photography (http://www.mastersofweddingphotography.com)

Annie Leibovitz: Life Through a Lens (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0887304/)

Top Photographer Competition - TV show on YouTube: (www.youtube.com/watch?v=kS9h3lOCo0s)

Canon's Tales by Light series is currently available on Netflix: http://petapixel.com/2016/11/12/canons-tales-light-tv-series-now-netflix/

It's not your typical photographer, but there's Gregory Crewdson: Brief Encounters.

Of course there's From the Edge with Peter Lik.

Thanks for the recommendation of Canon's Tales by Light series on Netflix. That looks very good. I'll check it out.

A New York street photography documentary I recently watched on Netflix ... 'Everybody Street' (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2784462/?ref_=nv_sr_1)

Another one of interest (not on Netflix) is 'The Mexican Suitcase' (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2017015/?ref_=tt_rec_tt)

- Looking for Full Frame lenses to adapt to GFX

  I use a TECHART ring to mount Canon EF lenses on the GFX 50S-II and 100S-II, maintaining image stabilization and autofocus. The only limitation are lenses with a small rear element diameter that make it impossible to cover medium format. Fast lenses like the EF 85/1.2L or the 100-400L, however, work great.

  I also use a Nikon to GFX Fringer and it works very well. 24mm f/1.8 vignettes so best used on 35mm mode. 50mm f/1.8 covers the entire frame very well with no issues and is a superb little lens. 105mm Sigma vignettes slightly but is perfectly usable. 300 f/4 likewise the 105. I have a 70-200 f/20+.8 incoming to test so will report back but I'm expecting a little vignetting. Even in 35mm mode the image is still 60MP and if you're prepared to manually crop and correct you can get 80-90 MP images. I also have a C/Y to GFX adapter. The 24mm Sigma Superwide vignettes strongly. Ditto 28-80 Zeiss Sonnar. 80-200 f/4 Sonnar is perfectly usable. All work fine as 35mm mode lenses. I also have an M42 adapter which I tried with the Carl Zeiss Jena 135mm f/3.5 with good results.

  Thank you. I will research it.

  Ahh, the infamous brick wall photos… 😀 According to internet lore, if the dng converter does not properly apply the corrections, you can have it apply custom profiles that should work for you. How to do that is waaaaaay outside of this comment’s scope, but there are plenty of sites listed in the search engines that step you through the processes. Best wishes.
