I have it in my GH6 and I feel like it's a game changer for that camera. Didn't love the camera when I had it a couple years ago. Felt like vLog was only slightly better than CineLikeD. With LogC, the mapping of the DR seems way better and the images look higher end to me. YMMV.

I love that lens. Wish I didn't sell it.

I wondered the same thing. I noticed when I activated the code, I could also deactivate. And it states to keep the activation code handy in case I need to reinstall after a firmware update, so I think you may be able to use it for one device, but I'm not certain. The code may forever be tethered to that serial number.

I went with the GH6 again for for a few reasons... 1. Official Arri LogC profile - it's even embedded in the metadata, so FCPX reads it as Arri footage. For someone who will probably never shoot with an Alexa, I must admit it's a stupidly cool thing... 2. ProRes 3. IBIS 4. Flip up screen Honorable Mention - I didn't realize how good the preamps in it were going to be. With good mic placement, some of the audio is perfectly usable.

I've read that they are good. I had no problem with them the first time I owned one, I had a problem with the chroma noise that the DR Boost produced in the shadows. I bought it this time because it was so cheap and I wanted to be able use Arri LogC. It really is a phenomenal camera though. Now I just need to figure out my lens situation with it. I've been shooting full frame for so long, and I have a small(ish) collection of vintage lenses that the price of any good m4/3 lens annoys the hell out of me. I've been using a 7artisans 24mm that is pretty good for what I paid for it. But I need something else.

I love the colors on my cheap GH6... oh wait... I'm using the Arri LogC profile...

That would be amazing, thanks. And if anyone has seen any of my shots, they know I love a seaside town!

Man, my 50 years are starting to show. I now remember all of this. At least I didn't technically quote you to you. And I also remember how fantastic your focus module works. I need to stop buying cameras and lenses and send my money to you.

Picked up a used GH6 and got the LogC firmware and I am loving it. I have a Lens Turbo in FD mount and the underrated 35-105mm Canon lens, but am looking to keep this set up as native as possible. I picked up a 7artisans 24mm 1.4 on the cheap and am pleasantly surprised by the lens, especially since every review I could find of it, trashes it. Since almost every review was with the lens on an aps-c camera, I assume some of the goop is cropped out with m4/3. Anyway, I'm looking for a cheap zoom, probably a Panasonic kit, that is better than it should be. I intend on making it my Spielberg f/5.6 lens, but then I got to wondering if any of the kit lenses are accidentally parfocal? I'd love for the little 14-42 PZ to be that lens, but for some reason I doubt it. I assume I'll eventually give in and get the 12-35mm for the added IBIS, but the point of the camera is to keep it on the cheap. Here are a few frames from the 7artisans in case anyone is interested. These were my first few shots with the lens and the LogC profile. Other than the Arri LUT and an s-curve, no construction equipment was harmed with this set up...

For the m4/3 shooters, Pan/Leica 15mm 1.7 or Sigma 16mm 1.4?

Think you mentioned the C500 II... on B&H Deal Zone today for $4999. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1633519-REG/canon_3794c002_eos_c500_mark_ii.html

Exactly, the worst part of the P4K is the body, one of the best parts of the OG is the body. With a different comparison, I saw a video today of the BMMCC6K held up next to the Pyxis and I couldn't believe how big the FF 6K is... it looks bigger than a 1DX and other than form factor, not much smaller than the Pyxis. The Pyxis seems like the obvious choice between the two. I sure do, that's one thing I do know. Ha, I know that even more. I feel like there are so many good cameras out now that you almost can't go wrong, but like always, the best camera is right around the corner and we're just in a betweener stage. Maybe you just need the Z mount Komodo X... problem solved. Canon should just buy BM, and then I can hate them both together.

If cost isn't an issue and your intent is narrative filmmaking, then why not get an Alexa Classic?

It has the same sensor as the P4K, right? How do you like it compared to the original? Did you order a Komodo yet?

I assume you'll be able to navigate the menus through the monitor?
