“A huge thank you to Kurt Lancaster for giving a voice to DSLRs in this new trail-blazing book.” —Shane Hurlbut, ASC, DP of Terminator Salvation “This book should be in every camera bag. A rich, comprehensive, and poetic examination of how filmmakers and cinematographers are creating stunning moving imagery.” —Rodney Charters, ASC, DP of the TV series 24 “Kurt has written a masterpiece in DSLR books—something that everyone starting to make a movie should read.” —planetMitch (planet5D.com) “Out of nowhere, two DSLR cameras came out, and over a period of 18 months, they have been embraced by everyone from Lucasfilm to keen enthusiasts. This is easily the most exciting time I have experienced in my 20 or so years in the business.” —Philip Bloom, DP, director, filmmaker (philipbloom.net)
