  1. I agree, that 8K even at low bitrates makes for stunning 4K. I have 8K on an Xiaomi Mi 10 smartphone, and it doesn't pixel peep well to say the least! But viewed at 4K it's glorious.
  2. Thanks and well done ๐Ÿ™‚ Now to see if it melts ๐Ÿ˜‰
  3. Yes it does seem Canon are bothering to make it look like they measure actual temps!! Thanks for your discoveries. Maybe the Tilta fan cage will work after all?
  4. Hey dude Nice job. Have you tried the Canon EOS R5 vertical battery grip yet? Can you pull the battery out of that and it pulls power from the camera like an external battery does?
  5. It's also shot type dependant. Close-ups of plants, oranges, etc. don't demand as much resolution as a wide angle shot of a landscape at infinity focus.
  6. I can tell the difference between 4K YouTube and 1080p. Just not in Safari!
  7. X-H2 should be a mini $3000 GFX 100 I am undecided on whether that means S35 or MF!!
  8. "User" is now sending me malicious communications via the contact form and has made a death threat. So his home IP address, user data, threats and malicious emails are all going to be handed over to law enforcement in his country.
  9. Petapixel did not do the teardown. So please link to the source! It ain't hard!! One click more! https://kolarivision.com/eos-r5-and-r6-overheating-timer-chip/ It is very interesting. Magic Lantern want to probe the chip on a scope too.
  10. As well as telling "User" to stop attacking people, I sent "User" the following in a PM before the ban: "Can I ask you a favour. Please don't post links to deleted EOSHD topics in the Google Cache because Bloom is on a lawyer rampage at the moment... "I don't want to kick up a legal fuss... "Very important: For legal reasons please do not mention any of this on the forum... "Please keep this to yourself too. I am telling you because I trust you. So please reward that trust mate." The rest I've redacted. Do you know what "User" did next? Emailed the whole lot to Philip Bloom.
  11. User, hope you have enjoyed EOSHD for the past few years. You're no longer welcome here. I warned you before about the conduct towards Ed. It's because of reactions like yours that more women don't come forward in the film industry and more men don't call eachother out when the hear of alleged wrongdoings.
  12. I'd like to welcome Kazuto Yamaki, CEO of Sigma and the product manager of the Sigma Fp and Cinema lenses, Takuma Wakamatsu to the pages of EOSHD for this long interview! I have recently been shooting with anamorphic with my Sigma Fp - the video you can see above is shot with the Rapido Technologies FVD-16A focus module housing a tiny Bolex Moller 8/19 anamorphic. I have more on this soon, as well as how ProRes RAW performs on the Sigma Fp attached to Atomos Ninja V. Ever since the Sigma embarked on the high quality ART lenses the company's factory has output higher and higher quality products, even industry leading lenses in fact. Now the Sigma Fp marks their entry into filmmaking cameras too with internal 4K RAW recording, external ProRes RAW and even BRAW - as well as being the smallest interchangeable lens full frame camera available on the market.

  13. What about concentrating on the women for a moment. To imply you don't believe them is to throw shade at them - that they must be some kind of psychopath liars, out to destroy their ex-boyfriend... This certainly wasn't my view of Sara or Sarah. Especially the second Sarah when she was working as Bloom's personal assistant / girlfriend, seemed like a consummate, stable, professional to me.
  14. There's only one way to understand the world And that is through the insight of mystics.
  15. That's right. I am a Dp! Also I think you are a great forum member, but also a complete TWAT. Please don't take it personally!
  16. Can I get some tickets for myself, and the entire filmmaking community who are fed up of covering up for other people's bullshit. I have many, many people interested. I was even considering an EOSHD Lecture tour. Unfortunately sales fell flat. Nobody wanted to hear about my 10 years of experiences in the camera industry or even the musical interlude featuring cute little Mr Tiddles with the lyrics "Kitty cat, kitty cat, meow meow meow. Purr purr purr" Surely the musical interlude alone could have booked out the Staples Center?
  17. The 28mm F1.4 AF-D (old legend) ? I tried that. I seem to remember it didn't quite cover but can check again and memory is a bit fuzzy.
  18. The 85mm F1.2L is a work of art on the GFX 100. A thing of beauty. The 55mm F1.2 FD Aspherical as well - it covers. The 50mm F1.2L FD isn't quite there. Too much vignetting and doesn't stand out against other similar fast old SLR 50mm lenses on it. Actually some of the surprising fits are with the Minolta and Voigtlander glass. Some pancake, smaller stuff works surprisingly well. Voigtlander 40mm F2.0 Ultron in EF mount for example. Pentax 43mm F1.9 Limited is nice as well. Gives you the fast 35mm wide angle look on medium format for cheap. Just don't expect the corner sharpness to be as good as Fuji's own GFX lenses for landscapes. You can stop down but there's still a bit of a drop off in the far corners in 4:3. But in 16:9 for 4K filming, it's fine. 85mm and 135mm do tend to go well. Wider than 40mm and you tend to struggle with vignetting. The 24mm F1.4L FD I did try and no luck with that! This is why I think it'd be really nice to have a full frame crop mode in 4K video by firmware update, for the gems like that, and also even a 4:3 anamorphic mode that uses the medium format 16:9 height of the sensor equivalent to how tall the active imaging area is in 3:2 for full frame, but crop the wide sides of the sensor to 4:3 in that mode.
  19. They might genuinely be changing, it might not be dictated by a sponsor... But even so they know it is a well worn click weasel tactic to get attention, they know it full well. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=i'm+switching
  20. People please Don't be so naive!! Infamous clickbait ploys... "Selling all my gear" "I'm switching!" And half naked models in so-called "camera reviews"... Is it really that hard to see when you are being diddled?
