I found time to go for a walk down along the river today, here's a few images from the m1 iii and the takumar smc 17mm fisheye. I did notice some interesting flares, so next time i hope to have the gimbal and do some simple moves with it. Pretty happy with the character of the 17mm fisheye, i figure with the crop from mft its toned down alot but i am liking it. Its autumn over here so there's abit of a red theme happening. I did massage the reds, the saturation and contrast very gently in post. I also experimented with a sharpening technique i saw in a simon booth youtube which appealed to me, its not a one click process however it can all be done in 5 minutes which is fine by me, however if your getting paid by the hour it might be a different story. I read the comments on the anamorphic letterboxing and it makes sense, no idea why my brain wasn't connecting the dots earlier, but thanks for the help.

I think it's OnSemi. They are ARRI's partner on the new ALEXA sensor. TowerJazz had / have a joint venture with Panasonic, but OnSemi make the more up-to-date sensor tech and there are quite a few parallels between the ALEXA sensor readout tech and latest Panasonic cameras. In 2022 Panasonic exited the semiconductors business and sold all the assets. The organic sensor project is official dead, but it allowed them to partner with more than just Sony for sensors.

Like I said these idiotic tariffs are causing the market to act as a cartel. Capitalism is all about competition so if one company faces higher costs, and the others don't, then that company suffers and the rest can keep their prices low. If all companies are forced to up-their prices, it sets a new expectation for the entire market for costs, and nobody loses as the consumer can't simply turn to a company with lower prices when they are all subject to the same market forces. So even if the prices go up in the US, that gives the camera companies the perfect excuse to do the dirty on the UK and Europe as well.
