I’m not @mercer (obviously) and not answering that beyond what I said above, but after 3 days shooting with the S1Rii my official review is now available for public consumption below. It’s fucking superb. That’s my review. Indistinguishable image Q to the A7RV and almost indentical handling, ie, excellent, but the Sony does have marginally better AF. Not quite as ‘fun’ to use as the Zf which for me was the ultimate point & shoot, but as a ‘one stop solution combining the talents of both and within the L Mount family’, fucking superb. I would be interested in a ‘rangefinderesque’ body a la RX1 line, but no idea if Lumix ever plan on making one 🤷‍♂️ But don’t need one.

Hi everyone, here comes a new music video shot on insta360 v4. Somehow the process is really fun becuse after shooting you get to animate all the camera settings in the insta 360 app. That ist actually quite fun, feels a bit like old analog photography as you find new aspects that you did not see during the shoot. Nevertheless the process is not too good yet as you have to animate the camera settings in the app, then export it and then edit it in Resolve. Pretty time consuming! So i hope there will be a resolve plugin in some time in the future... If you have any experiences using this technique i would ne happy if you could share it here!

It was just a joke because @MrSMW has switched back and forth between systems (cameras) a few times in the past couple years. No offense intended.

Cool video! The shots with the perspective shift really work, like a dolly-zoom but with a changing perspective. Other shots are more traditional, but work too. Gotta watch those shadows though. This is perhaps the main challenge of 360 video, keeping the equipment and operator out of the shot.

Been on the look out for a yellow lens for awhile now. Some one said something down in the lens thread a while ago about a yellow lens , that got me thinking... Also i know there's two trains of thought with with photography / videography either do it in camera or do it in post. In most ways i like the in camera theory. Seems more authentic to me to do it in camera or more personal / intentional perhaps. In post seems more like an after thought to my way of thinking. Not wanting to rock any ones boat and if you like to do things in post that's great, please continue. Anyway finally decided on a lens, a super takumar 35mm f2. Should be a thorium lens from what i have read. So probably best, not to sleep with it under the pillow. I purchased this lens mostly with the intent of adding some warmness to an image / video. Not sure if the result will be a yellow or more sepia effect. There's a couple of images for your perusal. Should arrive before my birthday i hope.
