@John Matthews thanks for watching the video! Regarding the lenses, those are pretty much some of the most affordable lenses you can get for the ILS without sacrificing too much image quality. The 10mm fisheye is surprisingly good, especially considering it’s fixed at f/5.6. My biggest issue with it is the lack of a traditional filter thread for ND filters. I usually work around that by avoiding scenes with too many bright highlights, but I’m trying to figure out an affordable way to rig a variable ND using some sort of clamp system. I really want to use that lens more because I love the image it produces. The 50mm image is very good, but my least favorite out of all the lenses because it’s heavy (even though it fits the weight compatibility) and it isn’t sharp at all wide opened. Which is usually the case, but this is blurry soft. At f4 it’s lovely, but I really wanted to use it for those creamy portrait shots where I can see the emotional state of a person. As for labs, i’m familiar and have it installed, but I’m not a big fan of the whole QR code approach. I feel like a lot of those functions should already be accessible once the Labs is installed, instead of having to chase down QR codes. That said, it’sa great addition to the community! Now the new firmware features for photography look really impressive. I’ve watched a few videos on them, and I think photographers will get a lot out of it. I’m definitely not a photographer, so I’m personally waiting for more cinema related features. Also not sure if you didn’t realize when watching the video, I tend to put more details in the descriptions. I’d rather keep my videos relatively short and use a lot of footage. I’m much more comfortable writing about this stuff than talking about it on camera. -

I installed firmware 4 for the ILS. For photos, it's night and day- so much easier to use and far more responsive- almost like a real camera! This is going to be super fun I suspect. Now, we've got 50MP RAW or JPEGs and up to 20 at a time with no lockup. -

Yes. I saw your video on YouTube. We've got pretty much the same lenses, minus the 10mm fisheye and the 50mm. Today, there was new firmware (version 4). Also, I installed Labs; so, I'm curious to see the improvements, especially for photos as it was seriously lacking. -
@kye As promised, here’s the video I mentioned over in the Narrative Films Shot in Uncontrolled Cities thread. I put together what I call my Mission Kit for the ILS, consisting of the Brightin Star 10mm fisheye, 7Artisans 10mm, TTArtisan 17mm, and the 7Artisans 25mm, 35mm and 50mm. The idea was to keep everything small, lightweight and affordable while still getting a very good image. The video is just a collection of footage shot with the different lenses, with each lens identified on screen. It’s not technical at all and it’s very casual. I’m just showing what these little lenses can do with the ILS.

@kye I actually put together a little lens kit for the ILS. My Mission Kit consists of the Brightin Star 10mm fisheye, 7Artisans 10mm, TTArtisan 17mm, and the 7Artisans 25mm, 35mm and 50mm. Trying to keep everything small, lightweight and affordable without sacrificing too much in image quality. I don’t wanna hijack this thread, so I’ll post a video I made briefly going over the lenses in the dedicated ILS thread.
