    • 5d3 ml raw can do 1:1 1920x1920. i tried once, like hassy in video. 
    • Let's talk Chinese anamorphic stuff, vs vintage. I don't have much modern stuff although did get the full frame Great Joy 60mm T2.8 for L-mount a few months back. Recently picked up one of these though... https://siruishop.de/en/products/saturn?srsltid=AfmBOoqYgHSzTnkpJQ0HBLwj-2r6w0uskpYgytF1N-2y1XJX3hglGgMO It has come down from 1399 euro to 600. I got mine for 180 euros... Aperture blades were broke, so I removed them. Plan to put a DIY oval aperture in it. The look is good, in terms of sharpness and bokeh. Distortion is quite heavy - and pincushion, it's a very wide lens and I don't mind a bit of distortion but would prefer there to be barrel distortion like a Hollywood Panavision anamorphic, pincushion is a bit unexpected. Flare is weak, this is an area the good value for money lenses still can't seem to get right. I'll do some comparison shots with my Iscoramas. It is a 1.6x stretch so very similar to the Iscorama 36 (1.5x). Minimum focus distance is just a tad under 1 meter. It's a full frame lens so this isn't too bad, you can crop for closer-ups. Mainly I am impressed by the size and weight of the thing... It is absolutely tiny for an anamorphic cine lens.
    • As the saying goes it's same as a Leica SL2 inside, so $800 is a real bargain. The S1 / S1R ergonomics are alright, bit too heavy and big. I prefer Sony 4th gen (a7 IV onwards) in that respect, but the S1R really did feel and look like a high-end camera when it came out unlike the new stuff.
    • I had that as well. Cold solder joints, which a lot of electronics went through in the earlier days of the switch to lead free solder. Baking it in the oven for a re-flow at 200c fixed it only temporarily. I think there might have been a class action in the US against Apple about this once? What's up with the G9 II audio? The issue in the Sony case is that thousands of people have been wrongly charged for replacement hardware... Swapping out the mainboard, when actually the failure is software. Sony will probably try and do a cover up. What they deserve is a class action lawsuit.
    • In the UK this might be considered a trading standards issue and covered for 6 years from purchase.   I had a 2011 MacBook Pro way back which came with a design fault that caused the graphics chip to fail. It got two new motherboards and a new screen courtesy of Apple even after the 3 year AppleCare warranty had expired.    I was thinking of taking this up with the G9 mk2 and the nasty audio issue, as deliberate flaws are covered too. Don’t know if it’s worth the hassle but it was enough of an issue to push me to a GH7.
