Looks like Panasonic 14mm 2.5 and Panasonic 14-42mm PZ lens is the best fit for Moondog, 14mm 2.5 slight vignetting but usable, 14-42mm PZ usable from 18mm and up, unlike Panasonic 14-42 II which only 35mm and up is usable. Another guy tested 20mm 1.7 but seems unusable, the 45mm 1.8 looks pretty bad at 1.8 aperture.. probably need to step down. I am waiting for my one to arrive, which I will try on 12mm 2.0, 15mm 1.7, 25mm 1.7, 42.5 mm 1.7, Leica 45mm 2.8, Sigma 60mm 2.8 and Olympus 14-42EZ and see how they fair.

Its time for me to dump my Sony gears when they are still have value.....ohhh wait, the A7RII and A7S is selling for much less now brand new :/

Well looks fine on his video

No need for expensive external monitors for de squeeze option if it is true!

Working full time at company instead of freelancing? I still have my own gear for the occasional interesting projects, but sold most of them since I just use company's gear most of the time after I started working full time.

Sony Xperia XZs, 960fps slowmo in 720p, unlike rx100's 960fps 384p mode

THIS I like my machine configured to my exact liking rather than dumb down approach. I don't want some fucking authority say what I can do or what I can't do on my own computer, I want it to be able to connect to everything I chuck at it, so all my device have USB 3.0, HDMI, SD CARD reader, which sadly mac can't offer me one ( I got a 5.5" mini laptop that have more useful ports than full sized macbook.. go figure) I used to own macbooks and ipads but at end of the day they are just tools. The Apple ecosystem doesnt suit me.

Internet thread get derailed so that is norm?

Well AF on FS5 sucks and doesnt have IBIS but I dont see many buyer like me see that as deal breaker lol, I dont see Sony fanboy denoucing FS5 or A7SII for crappy AF which is heavily bashed on GH5 atm.

The video is entertaining for sure, hope to see more!

The ones with clutch focus rings works well in manual focus

Panasonic 42.5mm 1.7 and Olympus 45mm 1.8 both uses 37mm filter thread, should make it even more interesting if you want bokeh vs kit lens, Panasonic 14-42mm pz, Olympus 14-42 ez and Olympus 17mm 2.8 pancake lens is also 37mm filter thread. I hope Pana 20mm 1.7 and 14mm 2.5 and leica 15mm 1.7 works because they work on Slrmagic Anamorphot 1.33 without vignetting

FS5 have both center scan and clearzoom mode. ETC on Panasonic works the same as center scan mode, just the center crop of the sensor, unlike clearzoom which have software interpolation when you zoom in, so for me center scan/ETC > clearzoom all the time, especially with moving target. I got FS5 myself and I always use center scan for extra zoom reach. On a7s I use APS-C mode instead. here is the video done by other FS5 user on this subject

I just did a quick compare

I used clearzoom few times and most of the time it sucks balls, result is too soft/pixelated when mix the footage with another one with proper zoom on another angle in multiple cam setup during event/theater setup, ETC mode while gives you really good result without degrading sharpness except the increase in noise at lower light environment, though both wont offer you the same bokeh as proper zoom.

I pre-orderd the Smallcage GH5, for $44.50 its no brainer, and handle works well with the XLR adapter which all other cage miss it.

Nice color and look really stable! cant get that smoothness with A7SII on Sigma 20mm 1.4 handheld.. still too choppy

Looks like there is new version of 5d iv with improved heatsink coming, guess older 5d IV won't be able to handle new improved firmware well due to heat issue? Anyway 5d doesn't have ibis which means for some still deal breaker, I hardly use my monopod with ibis machines which gives me much more freedom. Goodnews to some my friends who got iv mainly for still, maybe they can branch out video for real lol

The MC one is like $40~60, always go for coated filter! I think the $25 you saw is non-MC version. I got the genus eclipse before which I gladly get rid of it after I got the Zomei one, I got some footage ruined by reflection on Genus with their non-coating VND.

SLRMagic VND is pretty nice, I got Zomei VND with MC coating and it is nice too, no more ghosting/reflection from lightsource vs uncoated VND.

Hopefully they can come up with AG200 at similar price as FS5 - Super 35mm in MFT mount (JVC can do it, why not Panasonic?) I'd get it instantly. I already given Sony a try for a year and half and is coming back to Panasonic this year! (bought A6300, A7RII, A7S and FS5), I just dont feel it when I shoot with Sony machine

Why wait? Just buy it if needed, and not based on want

I think he forgot an extra 0 at end

As long it makes me good amount of money who cares, my hobby is else where now that video is my profession, doing video everyday vs once or twice a week, you tend to feel numb eventually..
