    • Completed filter holder V1..... It's far more compact than anything else I've seen that fits anything other than a naked iPhone, which is important because if my phone is a huge rig then I may as well be using a "real camera" and if I can't fit the whole thing in my pocket then that means carrying a bag and (once again) I may as well be bringing a real camera. I cut up some 2mm aluminium sheet to bridge the gap between the two sections of the Tiffen and epoxied it in place. Then I added another layer of 0.22mm aluminium that was painted black (that I ordered by mistake - thinking it was 2mm) to cover it up and give it a semi-nice finish.  I did a bit of filing around the edges and added some black nail polish to tidy up the edges, and finally put a pop-socket holder on it so I can hold it a bit more securely. This is how I typically hold my phone when shooting, it's nice and stable and it gives me a good grip. The case is super grippy, so I'm optimistic that it'll work well. I deliberately called it Version 1, because after discovering how easy it was making this one I'm thinking that version two should be a custom one designed from the ground up.  After all I have all the tools and plenty of spare materials.  I'm thinking I might have a ring of rare earth magnets set into the sheet, and I'll base it on a step down ring that's stepping down from a few sizes above so it's got a bit of material in it.  Hopefully I can create something that attaches really well and is still nice and slim.
    • How bad is the dynamic range on this camera? Particularly the highlights? (I tend to just rate at base ISO and shoot traditionally rather than ETTR.)  I was hoping Red's highlight recovery (which isn't that great imo as you lose all color information) would help, but it seems to be disabled in RedCineX? I had sworn off new cameras but I sold my old ones and might need something for work. 
    • I wonder if it will ever get the 'Red-lite' raw codec 'everyone' wants... If that ever happens, what a fucking camera it would be.
    • Same year, same colour. Also 2x S9 (though my red one, the audio no longer works after I dropped it) + 3 other LUMIX bodies and 11x L Mount lenses...except I am giving away one of them, another is broken (dropped that also!) and 4 are being sold.   Ditto and my workflow is much better for that and actually, I genuinely like the SOOC look I am getting from my specific set up so all good. Even better with the S1Rii as it works in full-frame 50p 🙂 These really are awesome tools to have and my only gripe is there still isn't a lens to match the Tamron 35-100 f2.8 or Sony 50-150 f2. Yes I know there is that tub of lard Sausage 35-150mm f2/2.8 but nah. It would almost be worth it for me to flip systems next year just for that 50-150... I'd like to see a 'Nikon ZR' version of the S1Rii with the rear LCD mech also off the S1Rii, but possibly wishful thinking territory now...
    • The problem is that people online gather to complain (if they are happy they are usually silent), and the more appealing the price is, the more they seem to want to be sure they are getting their money's worth, assuming that every missing feature is an attempt to scam them of their money. The ZR price puts it into the radar of bargain hunters who have this mindset.    I'm confident enough that Nikon will improve h.265 log footage adequately to make it satisfying to use for those situations where RAW or Prores footage takes up too much space. It might not be the best h.265 nor does it have to be, given the price of the camera, but it shouldn't be noticeably soft, either. I also hope the Prores LT codec comes soon, and that the noise reduction can be adjusted when using Prores HQ and LT formats.
