I signed up for an ISF class later this year and after some back 'n' forth, I got a very good deal on some new calibration gear. Got a new Murideo Six-G pattern generator, a Colorimetry Research CR-250-RH spectroradiometer and a Colorimetery CR-100 on the way. Originally I had planned on waiting to get new gear but it's driving me nuts that I cannot measure anything HDR related on my new LG C7 with my current gear outside of my i1D3.

Hopefully it will all arrive by the end of next week! :T

I'll geek out with you on this Steve. Awesome stuff!!!

Really looking forward to you digesting that class and taking this stuff for a wicked test drive!

I really wonder how much I'll actually learn at the class. I've been calibrating for quite some time now and outside of HDR, I can't believe there's much for me to glean from it. I'll find out though and report back.

They offered me one heckuva deal! I won't say how much but basically the 6-G was free and there was a big discount on the rest as well. :T I just couldn't pass up on it. Markups on this stuff must be huge!

I think you'll learn quite a bit about HDR... (at least I hope so!)

All the new stuff showed up yesterday and I have no time to do anything with it until Friday. Grrrrrrrrrrrr :foottap:

I'll try and get some pics later today if I can.

Upon closer inspection, it appears they have shipped me a used Murideo Six-G. Not too happy about that! There are quite a few blemishes on the screen. I sent out an email with pictures to the provider. I'll report back on how they handle it.

I did get an incredible discount. But I was never lead to believe that any of the gear would be used. :foottap:

hmm, definitely false advertising if that was the case instead of shipping error! Refund or another shipment with new equipment! :)

And looking through everything, it appears my ND filters were not included either. I specifically asked for those.

Well I checked for a plastic film but apparently I didn't check hard enough! There was a protective film on there. :T No word on the filters yet.

It wasn't used. It was new and the scratches/smudges were on a plastic film covering. I had checked for a film coating originally but this stuff was very well hidden. It took a bit of work to get it peeled off.

Set it all up and tested it out today briefly. The CR-100 is lightning fast! Everything works great except for Chromapure. It's been crashing during the initial setup. I'll uninstall/reinstall it and try it again next week.

Yes it is! I believe I'm about all set up for display reviews now. Got the ISF class in December if Tampa survives Irma.
