At least for the 16 Pro, there are Magsafe threaded filter adapters. I have one that takes a 67mm filter (or is it 58?). The only real bummer is that it can't go on with my phone in the standard Apple case so I have to pop the phone out to use it. Mine cost $20 or so IIRC. Maybe something like that exists for the 17 as well? -
The DOF adapter still seems like a crazy / borderline broken vintage lens emulation, but if that's the look you're going for then it's a good option to have. What seems much more useful though is using it as a B or C camera, fitted with an ND and shooting manually. -
The more I use and grade my 17 Pro, the more I think that I'll work out a compact vND setup for it. The primary job for my phone is shooting ultra-fast with the default app in Prores Log, but the footage is so good that it would be great to be able to put on a vND, swap to the BM Camera app, and then shoot manually with a 180-shutter. In the default app where it's exposing with the shutter the only things I'm noticing that are limitations are the short shutter speeds and the stabilisation in difficult situations (like when you're tired, hot and sweating, blood-sugar is up and down, etc). The stabilisation is actually really good in the longer focal lengths, it's the 13mm and 24mm ones that are the challenges as you get the edges flopping around a bit. I'm also wondering what the 1.5x anamorphic adapters might be like for this. To get a vND setup for it you have to get a dedicated case and a custom vND for that case (which aren't cheap) so if you're going to be spending decent money on these things anyway then maybe getting a case and anamorphic lens and then using a standard vND that fits the lens might not be that much more costly. I have no idea if the lenses are good, are worth it, and how easily they work with the 1x / 2x camera and the 4x / 8x camera, as the mount would have to move if you wanted to use it with the 4x / 8x camera. I've seen a few 1.5x adapters, which would make the 24 / 28 / 35 / 48mm normal camera into a 16 / 19 / 23 / 32mm camera. The other camera would go from being 100 / 200mm to 67 / 133mm. Perhaps the best combinations in that bunch would be the 32mm, and 67mm ones, perhaps with the 23mm (or 19mm) as very wide options for specific situations.

Well I’m shooting 7.2k 30p open gate h.265 V-log with baked in Phantom LUT (for S5ii as he hasn’t produced an update for the second gen S line…because I asked Joel direct) on my S1RII and think it’s fcuking great. Zero complaints or issues, no over-sharpening and no moire. The latter two things may be down to also shooting with a 1/8th gold mist at all times, but whatever, heard all the blah before and it just works for me. If I ever change from Lumix, it won’t be anything to do with the quality of of it’s video that’s for sure as it’s more than good enough for my needs and by ‘more than good enough’, I mean superb by my definition of the term. Sure, I would rather have the Zr body and that screen, but then again, even that screen has an issue for me in that it can’t tilt and pull out in line with the camera as my S1RII’s can so despite it’s size & rez, still not perfect. But raw… Finally decided after seeing and reflecting upon the results of this last season, it would be overkill for me and just a major hassle I could do without. -
I don't have an example, but from experience, I can tell you that shooting H.265 on the Sony FX3/6 is a lot nicer than on my Nikon Z9s, where it's too compressed/low bitrate, has too much NR applied, etc. So I've been shooting N-RAW 8K24p & N-RAW 4K60p/120p, not just because I prefer the detail and flexibility in post (white balance & exposure corrections, & shooting 8K for 4K delivery produces very nice oversampled 4K and gives me room to punch in with zero resolution loss), but because I can't stand the H.265 implementation. So it varies from camera to camera. Although I myself prefer RAW, my ideal camera would also offer high bitrate H.265 and ProRes codecs with minimal NR and sharpening, and make these two very user-configurable too. It seems we now have too many cameras with either very high bit rate codecs or very low ones. There's nothing in the middle, really, that's nice and flexible in the post. See the new Nikon ZR as an example. And I'd settle for 6K over 8K. 6K is plenty for punching in, stabilizing, etc., in post for 4K delivery.
