Lightweight good monitor
I bought this because I trust atomos and already own their ninja flame (amazing!), but needed smaller, lightweight, and an sdi in. The lightweighted, compactness of the samurai blade is awesome. It works perfect mounted on my gimbal and ursa mini. Only reason I gave 4 stars is because the color and light reproduction on the monitor is not exactly what the ursa produces, so I can only trust the monitor that it is giving me about 90% accuracy or so. Still a great deal.

Amazing Xeen Lens!
I have the Xeen 14 3.1, and the other 1.5 Xeens at 24, 35, and 50. Unbelievable image quality. The way the glass elements interact with light and how the highlights are treated, along with how bright the lenses are makes any of them awesome. Sharpness you can find in a lot of subpar lenses, but finding a lens that interacts with light in a good way is not so easy. Most lenses are horrible in dealing with shots straight into the sun, for instance. I had another cheaper canon 35mm prime (with variable ND on front) on my URSA 4.6k camera and had a shot of someone doing yoga on the beach facing the sun and the image was just kind of lackluster. I was confused, thought it should look better, and just switched to the Xeen and the difference was night and day. That was the day the Xeens really proved themselves to me. Amazing glass if you’ve got the money. I was going to purchase the CP2 lens series, but the Xeens have been more than incredible in what they do for a super reasonable price.
Keep in mind that the 14mm will have a small amount of warping or fisheye effect. But the way it is on this lens isn’t bad or too much. If you are shooting at most things, it’s my opinion that it makes those images even more appealing rather than weird or strange. If shooting lines or architecture, probably not the best lens for you. I have only spoken in high regards to this lens, never said anything bad about it, even though I saw someone else’s comments on the 14mm which they thought wasn’t as good as the other Xeens (probably right), but you won’t really notice. I feel I can shoot at whatever aperature I choose and the Xeens are pretty dependable tone sharp across the board. The 14mm does have what I think is an inaccurate focus ringing you focus based on reading to the feet measurement on the ring. If you go by sight, you’ll be in better shape. For instance, i noticed if I set the ring at 6feet, and a subject is at 6ft, they will be slightly blurry. If I set to 4ft, the 6ft subject will be clear. If I set for about 10ft, the 15ft away subject will be clear. I haven’t done a test to make that “official” but this is how I work with the lens because of my past and still current experience of how this lens works. BUT!!! Keep this in mind, this is my GO TO lens for shooting towards the sun with fully closed aperture to get that glorious super sun ray look. It’s pretty amazing.

Great deal!
I got this machine with high hopes, and some were met! I think this is an incredible deal for an all stainless steel, sturdy, low-vibration machine that heats up in like 20 seconds and then brews in less than 1 minute. Pretty unbelievably fast machine! I like the speed of it, that fact you can change between 3 heat settings, and that it’s a sturdy design that feels professional and solid. I’d say that the espresso is decent, but the average person wouldn’t notice. If you are a coffee and espresso enthusiast that actually knows what taste it is that you are after, you may have trouble dialing that in on the dedica 680. I think you’d have to go up a few bars of pump pressure to really be able to get that rich taste. Plus, the pressurized portafilter is (I’m finding) not really what I like unless the pump was a few bars stronger. If this machine was paired with a bottomless portafilter I think it would improve the brewing possibilities. But for super lightening quick espresso, that has decent taste, I don’t know of any machine that could replace this with the same quality and amazing design for the price. Probably the next step up from this dedica 680 is the gaggia classic, that may run you a few hundred more. If quick, decent espresso is what you’re after, with awesome sturdy machine design, get this and you’ll be happy. If you want an amazing espresso, that you can believe you just made at home, this is probably not the machine for you.
