    • Mine records 6K with no limits. I think you have to change the thermal management settings to access it. I've had 2 S5mk2s filming a 50 min podcast in 6K with no problem (interior).
    • 2 years ago, I had the S1H with the battery grip and the Leica 24-90mm f2.8/4 as my principal camera. That combo weighed almost 3k and not only was that a big lump to heft about in the hand on a 12+ hour day, it could not go on a camera strap as that would have been shoulder destruction and too heavy to hang off a Spider Holster all day as even with the tightest belt... Plus any momentum and that thing banging on your thigh left bruising! In the end, I used a sturdy Holdfast leather harness AND a Spider Holster to handle it when not in hand. Compare that with my S9 + Sigma 28-70mm f2.8 at not much over 1kg and less than 2kg including freestanding monopod and what a difference! My pair of S1RII's with lenses and mic etc weigh less TOGETHER than that lump above and are far more capable. In fact, both S1RII's and the S9 which now has the 50mm f1.8 on it, all 3 together weigh approx the same as 'The Lump'! It makes a HUGE difference when working and how you feel after. I do think there is very much a Goldilocks Factor when it comes to this kind of thing and some stuff is just too big and awkward and some stuff just too small and fiddly. I feel what I have right now is that middle option that works best.
    • Make yer bed and lie in it man! But seriously, this was always going to happen. Lumix has been on a roll in 2025, but Canon and Nikon were of course cooking something up in the background just as Sony is and sure as night follows day, today's news is tomorrow's fish & chips wrapper. Except the tools of course do not instantly become junk. I made my own decision knowing that it was almost certain no matter what Canon did, I'd never go there but Sony or Nikon could have been a very valid option. Not quite as they were or are, - too many 'missing' elements for me with Nikon, but the most likely to resolve those, possibly/probably with the ZR, - we will find out. Sony would have been the most likely as things stood a few months back, having 3 great lenses and I could have made an all FX-30 line up work. So personally, intrigued/interested in what will come and I may have some envious eyes in some regards, but I really do need stability myself now in this department after spending years of chasing the holy grail of one man band full hybrid capability. Will other kit surpass what I have? For sure... Maybe not this year but certainly by next year and no question by 2027, but my primary focus is now firmly on the creative side. It always was, but was constantly distracted and hampered by kit and logistics and now that has been removed... But for anyone already with at least a foot in the Canon camp, of course it makes sense!
    • Yes, 100% Tokina made and these lenses predate the Kino and Komine partnerships. Vivitar lenses have a serial number system that will tell you which original manufacturer made the lens normally but these older 60’s preset versions predate that serial number system. I’ve researched them quite a bit over the years however and found information confirming Tokina.  My 35mm is doing great and solid, maybe you got one that was not very well taken care of? 
    • Man I might have to pause jumping all in on Lumix with this one, especially if there is also APSC version coming soon. C50 and maybe C30 (APSC version) will make my R5C and V1 more complete
