GH4 new 4K photo mode firmware in anamorphic 1.75x quick test Here is a quick test with the new firmware V2 "photo mode" 4K in 16:9, 3:2 and 4:3 Sorry I forget the 1:1, anyway for my 1.75x anamorphic... :P GH4 4K photo mode baby Berthiot Hypergonar 1.75x lens Qioptiq LINOS MeVis-C C-mount 35mm f1.6 @ f1.6 with the diopters and f4 for the others shot SLR Magic 1.3x + 0.33x diopters Vcine mode with EOSHD setting Premiere Lumetri 60's color correction + levels adjustments Video stills (video available later)

... Thinking that the 1:1 and 4:3 modes, with a 2x anamorphic, is actually closer to a classic 35mm field-of-view based on the new pixel height... Adding a .71 speed booster might actually take it over the top. Hey, that post earlier about changing the sensor resolution to create a "CinemaMode" is awesome! Great idea. Hoping this is taken seriously by Panasonic. - - - - - - - - - - - - 2X Lensing Tests in PhotoMode: I've found that with an ISCO 2x Ultra Star Mini that a 28mm Nikkor Prime doesn't vignette with PhotoMode set to 1:1. When shooting towards lights vignetting becomes noticeable. A Nikkor 35mm Prime in 4:3, 3:2, and 16x9 has no vignetting. However, in a 16x9 aspect ratio the vignetting becomes noticeable when shooting towards lights.

It's very easy to spot if you know what to look for: look at the bokeh (background blur). Instead of circles the highlights form ovals. But you can even see it in the general shape of the blur, it gives a very different look. It is kind of 'stretched', imo it gives a painting like look to a picture. To me this is much more important than the anamorphic flares. The shot with the scooter doesn't look very anamorphic (except for the aspect ratio) - because everything is in focus and also it's been shot with a 1.33x anamorphic, that doesn't give such a pronounced effect as the 1.75x or 2x anamorphics.

It would appear Comurit is showing as much excitement as i have been - I also got accused of being involved by another member due to my enthusiasm. I guess this is something that we can actually really get excited about because the opportunities this thing opens up is rather amazing- particularly at the honest price they're asking.

With the success of the the GH4 all over the world as Panasonic says especially in Europe can y'all imagine how good the next GH camera will be. Good job Panasonic for at least listening to consumers and trying to give us what we want.

Yeah, but not much time. Hope to shoot something soon.

Ok guys, can anyone explain me how to tell a difference between anamorphic and non-anamorphic shot, when there isn't any lens flare? Do you really know when something was shot with anamorphic optics? (I'm not against it, I just don't have experience)

Thanks :) Video here : '?do=embed' frameborder='0' data-embedContent>>

I understand your point, fair enough! I wouldn't want that too, of course. I have asked them to step in the forum, they don't want get involved into debates, they are concentrated on their products. If you have any questions about their products or their company they will be happy to answer them with a pleasure through FB or email. I hope their site is going to be open soon. I will make sure no one is going to get hurt, included myself. Before we buy we need some assurances of course, and I am sure they will provide them. At the moment they are selling their stuff through ebay, which is already an assurance, I think, with their feedbacks which speak from them self. I hope you understood what I mean. Thanks Andy!

and there is nothing wrong with that Comurit, there is alot of interest in the FM , but it is a 'mystery selling company with NO TRACK RECORD ' No one is asking the question - why are they not directly answering questions on this forum when its their biggest single market and doing all the answering of questions via proxies, hey nothing wrong with any discount - just someone needs to step back and have some level of checking before anyone on this forum get ripped off , now we would not want that would we. Confirmation bias can cloud peoples judgement when they get excited about a product , I will not be buying one of these until there has been alot more testing and seeing how the quality control on this product is. Just be cautious before you bulk send them a load of money upfront - I'm just looking out for everyone - thats all!!

This is the smallest problem in the world, it will take you 2 seconds to adjust. Seriously.

I swear on my 5 kids, I don't work for anamorphic shop, I have just asked by mail the possibility to have some discount. Anybody else could have done this, I have tried and they said yes it's possible. I am not a selfish person, so I have asked if it was possible to distribute the discount on the community. I have told them that I was going to gather some people with the same interest to have a better discount, that's all I am doing. That's why I have stated that the more we are the better the discount will be. If you are still in doubt, just ask some more. No problem at all. Thanks

Looks bloody marvellous. Can't wait to see the video. Great work Seb. Thanks for posting. If this baby goes raw, too, then the GH4 is all I'm going to need.

So... any news on that potential group discounf? ;-)

Formatt make a great diffusion filter - same quality as Tiffen but cheaper Formatt Super Mist 1/4 is a nice filter less harsh than Tiffen Promist 1/4 I only ever use these filters when shooting close ups for girls/actresses faces or it can end up looking like 1970's Penthouse porn if you are not carefull!! beware!! haha!

you can make your own diffussion very cheaply - stretch nylons over the back of the lens - this is an old Hollywood trick that works a treat - they have been doing it for years - how tight you stretch it effects the amount of diffussion. Janusz Kaminski’s work with Steven Spielberg uses this alot , as well as Joe Wright’s Atonement, shot by Seamus McGarvey, have a read of this ! http://coltondavie.com/tests/testing-net-diffusion/

Yeah, cool implementation, maybe put my Kalart Victorscope 16mm Super Anamorphic-2x back to good use again.

are you sure you don't work for Anamorphic shop comurit??

Think maybe it's a light leak through the body of the camera somehow?
