    • Yeah from my experience I'd say the DR was actually really good. Obviously I couldn't do any measured tests, but it felt really comparable to the Lumix S5II which has some of the best DR in the business. Rolling shutter was not good though, pretty obvious jello with even a basic pan. And that's coming from someone who usually doesn't complain about rolling shutter as I rarely see it reflect in real world shooting
    • Agree and if they ever come out with a longer option such as a 70mm or even am 85mm and manage to keep it f2/2.5, they would make for a great little set. 20/40/70 would be really superb! They make less sense if you are already invested in the f1.8’s which are hardly large and pretty light.
    • Side 100%. Can’t stand tall stuff! I’m rebuying the battery grip for one of my S1Rii’s because it’s just a bit too unwieldy with the Sigma 28-105 f2.8, especially in portrait orientation where having that shutter trigger button is a boon. That lens is only on the camera 20-25% of the time but it makes sense to just keep the battery grip on at all times for the constant familiarity in handling even with smaller & lighter primes plus it would be faff to keep switching. On the other S1Rii, I have the Smallrig half cage which is basically just a base plate with a side rectangle that is supposed to protect any cables, but has 3 threaded holes. Just a case of attaching the thingy that holds a P4 to that left side and then simply have it in the horizontal plane when I want to capture some gimbal video whilst shooting stills plus the ability to flip it to the portrait mode the rest of the time when I want to shoot social media BTS BS. Also much easier workflow than shooting open gate and having to frame for both 16:9 and 9:16 in the same shot and sort through all that footage. Less kit, less BS, better workflow.
    • Makes sense.  I'd imagine that perhaps the biggest difference (apart from the size!) is that the 4P has the controls on the handle, not on the part of the gimbal being stabilised, meaning it's easy/possible to change settings and operate it while rolling. Will you mount it on the hot shoe of your stills camera?  Or maybe off to the side using a flash bracket or similar?  I'm always intrigued by hybrid setups where multiple cameras are attached together.
    • You really have to be impressed with the weight of these new primes, light even by MFT standards. FF still dominates the wider focal lengths considering what they are.
