    • What are you shooting and what lenses are you contemplating? I can't recall what your other normal equipment is, but MFT opens up a Pandoras Box whole world of possibilities with adapters etc too (if you don't need AF) so that can be fun too.  I've been shooting street video at night with two combos that work incredibly well..  the first is my 42.5mm F0.95 with the Sirui 1.25x anamorphic adapter on the front, making it an equivalent of 68mm F1.5 and creating beautiful rendering wide open, but the combo is 1.3kg / 46oz so I also got a Takumar 50mm F1.4 on a speed booster, which is equivalent to a 71mm F2.0, which is much more vintage but is tiny and almost a full 1kg lighter. I'm contemplating a native 35mm F0.95 or F1.4 to replace both and have a less vintage but still lightweight for travel shooting. I also rock the 14-140mm for day shooting while travelling, and in brighter places the 12-35mm F2.8 is pretty hard to beat.  So many great lenses.  If you don't need crazy DOF then MFT is a great option, even with the larger body sizes.
    • I have used several c-mount lenses on my GX85/GH5/GH7 cameras without incident, along with many others on these forums.  I have the right adapter that goes in a bit further and gives infinity focus, so there should be enough room. I can't speak for other adapters or OM1 cameras, but it's definitely possible with the MFT flange distances.
    • looks promising ,still being beta tested.Note in the comments "photojoegraphy" claims it works on his Z8 And Z6III.  
    • Just curious what advantage the cine versions would bring in your application over the stills versions, particularly for the price bump ? Are they parfocal or have significant reduction in focus breathing ? Or are you looking at having wireless motor FIZ control with a Nucleus etc?
    • For anyone that is interested anyway… The new Sigma AF cine lens pairing of 18-45mm T2 and the longer 28-105mm T3. These could be and are indeed of great interest to a run & gun hybrid shooter like me. The wider lens is internal zoom but the longer lens is not but having said that, it doesn’t extend much at all. Moderately chonky but nothing too outrageous. Probably going to replace 4 primes with this duo in 2027 for my pair of S1RII’s. Too much expense for me this year as I’m running a much tighter ship in ‘26 with my only purchases being a new drone (the old one flies too wonky after various err, ‘incidents’) and new wireless audio gear after a few issues with RODE WG2. But anyway, these new Sigmas look the business and I’d like to see some real world AF as the principal example they gave in their promo video is of a woman slowly wobbling towards the camera on a tripod  in a studio…and that is not ‘real world’! Anyone else interested?
