    • After looking and foraging my various drawers in the house, I was able to find 3 Bell & Howell lenses from my grandfather: 0.7 inch, 1 inch, and 4 inch lenses. This was standard war-time military issue for war journalists. I also found 3 plastic Lomography lenses: I have ordered some inexpensive Chinese lenses too: 7Artisans 10mm f/3.5, TTartisan 17mmf/1.4, and TTartisan 25mm f2- a holy trinity for about 350 euros. From what I've heard, these lenses all suffer from poor corner performance; however, I'm throwing away 45% of that APS-C image anyway and only keeping the sharpest part. I figure those will be a perfect size too with the total kit under 1kg. I considered the Laowa cine lenses, but decided that they were simply too pricey for the concept of this kit. I'm bummed about not being able to use my AF M43 glass, but I love the limitations of straight up manual focus. I'll be shooting a lot with the 17mm this weekend.
    • Maybe a few of you may find this useless but, sounds to me as some unique piece of gear, designed by origin, powered for casual shooter, a real pocket tele in fact:  
    • I replaced the button battery, and it looks like it's fixed. I took the main battery out for half an hour, put it back,  and the date & time & settings were not lost.
    • The killer for me was no electronic connectors to the mount. To me, it kinda cuts the versatility. Being able to throw something like the 14mm 2.5 Panny lens on it to get a super compact camera, for instance, would've been pretty cool.
    • While it’s a great aspect of the ILS, I don’t really care much about the ability to mimic film or what have you. I just think the camera has great potential and is really in a class of its own, especially when you can get footage that looks like this out of it. Add in the various frame rates and what you can do with different lenses, and I think it’s a great camera for beginners and pros alike.
