    • It seems sharp enough for me, easily resolving a 4k image. Remember, I'm only using the sweet spot of that lens. Others have notice vignetting, and corner softness- not the case when using just a fraction of the image circle. However, I notice back-lit subject will have a strong chromatic aberration (purple) at f/1.4, but it goes away at f/2.8. It flares a little too- a bonus for me. The usability is absolutely great though. Thanks. Yes, I really don't have too much time to fuss around with the files- make it look good to my eye and then off to the next one. I just do a few exposure adjustments. I got a whole new set of ND filters. The reason being that I haven't had much luck by using VND's on small/pixel dense sensors. Bad things happened when I put my VND on my old camcorder. In the end, I'm going for 55mm and using step-up rings to get there. Why 55mm? Most of my Konica glass uses that with only a few exceptions. Anyway, I got the K&F Nano-x ND4, 8, 64, and 1000 set. They should do the job and still manage decent quality from a 50MP sensor.
    • According to the rumor the L mount camera that will appear this year will be a Sony FX5 competitor. IMHO this camera will come from Panasonic or Blackmagic. Most likely Panasonic as it already has the Nikon Zr, Z6 III sensor in Panasonic S1 II and proved it can get better IQ than Nikon. Plus it has all the exposure tools already available. It seems logical Panasonic to try its luck with FX3/5, Nikon Zr type of camera. The game changing camera will come next year. Until we know what is game changing we can only speculate. Here is my take: Sensors come from 2 companies - Sony and Canon. Canon keeps their sensors for themselves so in practice it is only one company - Sony. It already showed their best sensor in  FX5/A7R VI. So we have 2 options left:     A. Sigma or Panasonic come with a new type of sensor: Sigma Foveon or Panasonic Organic. IMHO very unlikely in both cases.     B. DJI which so far has proven to think and create out of the (Japanese camera tradition) box can come with something interesting. Recently I've leaned that DJI developed electronically controlled ND filter for Mavic 4 Pro which is not yet officially announced but already is selling on ebay and amazon by unknown Chinese sources:     https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WHt0OaxKu4E           While not perfect it shows DJI has the potential to come with a camera that solves the ND problem for mirrorless cameras. DJI can come also with better price and user interface both of which company already proved is capable of. Current and previous generation of mirrorless cameras are great so I doubt any of those can tempt me to go back to L Mount. It so good to forget for a while about cameras and lenses and just go and shoot something. 🙂  
    • Nice images.  Once you get files beyond a certain quality then the film emulation can do the rest. How are you finding the 17mm F1.4?  Sharp enough wide open for you? In terms of filter threads, you can get filter-thread-adapters in that size.  I bought a tiny vND for mine, which was really cheap because of the small amount of glass required!
    • This makes sense to me. I figure there are two scenarios they design cameras for: 1) Recording outside in bursts, in aircon for longer takes, size and spec over thermal management, customers get big image in tiny size 2) Rock solid professional performance from integrated fan, customers pay for the reliability Unfortunately the third scenario is missing from the market: 3) Decent but not cutting-edge image (4K max) in very small size
    • Super cool. The only thing that I don’t like is the lack of stability, so I guess I like ‘the look’ more than anything. I’d never use any ‘retro’ camera myself, but I like the concept and idea of it. Keep pushing Kye!
