    • I am actually finding that I use open gate a lot, not for content creation or vertical video but just for a taller aspect ratio. And something in a rugged doc-ready form factor would be a huge asset - I'm getting sick of shooting video on a stills body. This puts the FX5 at the top of the list currently for me. Price of the body itself doesn't strike me as particularly unreasonable given that it will hold its value, but its the accessories (the cards, new adapters, etc) that make the whole switch to E-mount dreadful right now. It's also hard to pull the trigger when the S1HII is overdue.
    • The dev who is working on it said that it would be easy to port to the 5D3, but he doesn't have one to work with. From my limited experimentation, it seems to be on par with Crop Mood, which was never as solid as the 5D3 (I still have mine). You can still overload the buffer and have the camera stop recording by pointing it at a very bright light in the higher resolution modes. Turning off global draw seems to help avoid this. The other thing I've noticed is that sometimes the preview goes dark after finishing a recording or powering on. The histogram is still in motion, but there's no image on the screen. Power cycling brings it back. It's probably still much easier to use than a real 16mm camera -- that's how I'm looking at it.
    • That's really cool! Wish someone would update the 5D3 with that UI! I see on the GitHub, it says stable build. How stable is it? The only time I ever had an issue with my 5D3 was when I ran the experimental 4K builds or the compressed MLVs. The last nightly build I used worked just as well as any camera I ever purchased. 
    • I’m actually seriously considering going over to Sony for stills at least, purely due to the lenses and the FX2 is a contender, but the A7RV more likely. It’s lenses. L Mount still does not have viable contender for: 28-70 f2 50-150 f2 70-180 f2.8 OK, there is the Sigma 28-45 f1.8 and the 28-105 f2.8 but the pairing of Sony’s 28-70 for mainly indoor work and their 50-150 for outdoor, would be a dream single body set up for me. Most likely Megadapted on a Z8 body… But then again, all L Mount need to do to retain me is produce at least a longer focal range sibling to the 28-45 f1.8 and I’ll be a happy boy.
    • I agree. I had an EOS-M when it was first hacked, sold it, and then broke my own rule and bought it again when Crop Mood hit. Now I have two of them: one built up, and one bare bones. And the developers are improving it all the time -- especially lately. Have you checked out Amit's new builds? They are based on Bilal/Danne's last release so they are seemingly just as stable, if not a little more-so. But the new UI is great, and he seems to be unlocking a new feature every day!
