LOL You're right, Matt : ) But his art goes beyond that anyway, as much as AI can. Without mentioning that art and cinema are also a written form, you can transform your pictures/shooting (so, craft stands, no less for creation) with this technology. Alongside pros and cons, for sure. A bit like 'A Gift for All Ages' film. Without all the earlier art made by Capra, for instance, it would have been something else, or perhaps it would not even have existed. :- )

The 0.71 speedbooster to Mamiya 645 is around Aus $700 so not on the XMas list.I am quite happy with my present rig

sorry about the confusion the adaptor and cross section with dimensions posted on Thursday is for a camera with a PL mount and the adaptor will therefore take the older standard lenses.Adapting the other way is more difficult

I've been using Kdenlive for years:

Speed boosting a 45mm f/2.8 lens onto a smaller sensor with a 0.71x converter gives you a 32mm f/2 lens. That's it. If you like the character of the medium format lens, that's great and it's a worthwhile endeavor. But aside from the character unique to that model of lens, it won't look appreciably different from a 32mm f/2 lens that was made to cover the format you're adapting to. That said, I've been thinking about building graflok DOF adapters that I could stick on some of my medium and large format cameras - not because there is an intrinsic medium or large format look, but because I have some really interesting older lenses and when I adapt them to smaller formats, I'm just using the pretty good/well-corrected centers of the image circle and not the cool outer edges where things get interesting/cool/weird. I think a medium format one might be my next project after I finish the M mount for the UC12K (which is looking like it will be tomorrow sometime?). I have a kind of beat up, but otherwise unmarked 6x9cm ground glass handy. It'll at least be good enough for a proof of concept. Most of my 4x5 stuff has either a fresnel (visible lines!) or grids on the GG, but I also have at least one spare 4x5 GG lying around that I could use for a proof of concept. Oh, and now that I think of it, I have an old Seroco 4x5 which has clean GG and I think it's from the 1920's or so - maybe I have a project for tomorrow while I wait for another iteration of my UC12K mount to finish printing (now that I'm near the end and printing the entire part, the prints are taking about 3 1/2 hours each).

here is a hard front conversion for Nikon F

Yes it was done in the past called a "PL hard front conversion" but for the amount of film you intend standard mount lens hire would be easier.

My buddy has a prime lens set for lend. Would this be possible:

I've been told it's a decent camera for indy films.

Mamiya 45mm f2.8 645 and 2 soviet lenses for 6x6 Pentacon six or Kiev-88

I watched that video and instantly didn't regret unsubscribing from the PetaPixel YouTube channel. I think I lost 3 IQ points watching the dumb infotainment of two adult humans whining about cameras that someone let them use for free, especially about some of the petty shit they cite as an example. That one Olympus was too big? Who cares? They also make/made smaller cameras if that's what you want. Plus they didn't even get creative when picking "worst designed" cameras - would have been more interesting to go with potentially revolutionary cameras that couldn't live up to the hype - throw out stuff like the Lytro and the Light L16. It'd still be a dumb video, but at least there's some interest in it.

The colors from DJI and/or Insta360 also look fantastic, I'm sure, after a professional colorist spends some quality time with them. It's still best to wait until the cameras are in the hands of normal users before starting to evaluate. Otherwise, if GP wants to release some footage that looks like that and they will certify that it's straight out of camera, I'll place a preorder right now.

Let's keep the debate goin' ...Can't wait for the next great prompt artist to really bring their vision to the screen. No one prompts as well as that Vogel dude. That guy prompts. Why try to create a golden hour scene when you can just ask for it? Nothing says artistic cinema like a computer deriving and stealing other's hard work. :-| Should we go to an art museum to look at some lesser talent's paint-by-numbers? The creation matters. Now let's do motion pictures. Cinema has always been craft as well as the art. Minimize the craft, minimize the art.

Expeed 8 release must be getting close. Expeed 7-October 2021 in Z9 Expeed 6-August 2018 in Z7 Expeed 5 in January 2016

Here you have straight from Mr. Vogel, Mike Vogel, Milady: Love this one BTW... Addressed to all naysayers : X

Kudos and fingers crossed. Looks like much more promising indeed from his noble background.

So far. Let's see soon what comes here next. Low light and overheating have been their Achilles' heel.

How so? The colours look fantastuc!

Highly unlikely they'll produce two versions. More than likely you purchase the base kit which is basically a GoPro and then for X dollars more you can purchase the cinema kit which will be a new faceplate that has some type of mount. Probably a weird bayonet or c-mount. From there, they'll sell you adapters to PL, EF, etc... The screen will go away on the cine plate but they may leave an hdmi port for a monitor. Once you unsnap the faceplate, you can unplug the screen which you can reconnect to the hdmi port... or whatever. Either way, interesting camera.

Pretty sure your guess is right : ) Would anything else make more sense nowadays? And here's the most recent teaser just released one day ago. 11.3 million subscribers there... WOW Twice the number of DJI and 8x the number of Insta360... Anything else to say? ; ) 'cause as of now, Insta360 and DJI action cameras clearly beat theirs.
