Ah, that Sigma is really epic, photography and video-wise.  I enjoyed it.

That's really cool.  Mind my asking, what lens did you use?

I've been interested in that too, and wanted to know what lens that could take the adapter be it that said adapter thread is 37mm.  And this isn't only Moondog Labs, there's another one called VM Lens (in Anamorphics, too).

I concur with everyone here.  It's not worth quitting over it.  I don't post much here, but I enjoy coming here and other sites dedicated to indy and enthusiasts in video/filmmaking.  The Panny GHx years intrigued me in the early 2010s and it was you that made it possible for me to try out videography.  Opinions are just that... opinions; everybody has them.  Creativity trumps all of that.

Awesome footage, Juxx.  I love the Monochrome B/W opening -- very film-like.  I love how the Pocket can pop out colors never thought possible.  With all the talk of GH5, the BM camera rocks in my opinion.  Excellent grading.

Well, based on the Steven Harvey snafu of last year, it's was one hell of a ride.  Too bad it couldn't be a tie or both would share.  One can dream can we.

Nice setup.  Looks like a good commercial spot.  Thanks for sharing.

Thanx.  I'll check it out as well.

Thanks for the response back.  Great footage.

Out of curiosity, what lens used?  Thanks.

Would it work on a G70, and does it have to be the old firmware?  Just wondering.

Has anyone tried the Modified Computar 12.5mm /f1.3 c-mount lens?  It claims it fits the Pocket.

I was wondering if this is legit.

Cheers.

Wow, you beat me to it.  I was shocked as well.  First Samsung, now this?!  

Thanks

I think you're doing an excellent job nailing your coloring down.  I do agree, trying to work on skin tones can be a challenge all in itself.  Also in agreement with RenaissanceMan and the LeemingLUT, if you're ever with reddit, there's a Panasonic G7 group, and I'm trying out a LUT that can mimic BMCC flat color profile.  Lemme know if you're interested.  I'm learning too as well, so learning from here at eoshd and similar sites are great.

Spgreen65 thank you!

I've been using my Bell & Howell 2x in 4:3 4k photo mode and slowing the footage down to 80% to match 23.976 fps.  I wish Panasonic would just update the firmware and allow us all to shoot in 4:3 mode @ 23.976. Maybe when the GH5 comes out and the price/feature gap between the G7 and GH4 becomes less relevant... wishful thinking.

@ Richie Recoil, you can say that again.  I been lurking back and forth about any updates w/ Panasonic, all about HDMI and focus points and such, so...

By the way, as promised... here's a little bit of what I did.  It's quite short as it's a test.

NB: I had to crop at 4:3 at Resolve 12 and had to do trial and error at Virtualdub to remove the black front and back bars, and "resize" 3 times to get to 2.35:1.  Not for the faint at heart lemme tell you.

P.S.: Richie, great shots you did on your G7 anamorphic.  ;-)

jbCinC_12 , will you go with the 2x SLR Magic or the 1.3?

Sorry for the lateness of the response.

I probably go with the 1.3 for the 2.35:1 look for the 16:9 frame set, the 2X for the 4:3 set.  I tried my Sankor 16C on one of my Lumix G7 test shots in 4K Photo mode 4:3, and the colors would change on me; maybe it was the fact that I used Auto WB instead of manual.  

Footnote, I been getting some interesting shots again on my Sankor 16C/G7 on my Minolta MD 50 lens.  I hope to check it out and do a comparison here.

It is a great camera for the price.  And the ability to downsample 4K footage to 1080p ProRes, it can't be beat.

I'm learning as I go along, I have known (now) that I can get good shooting results with my Sankor 16C with my Minolta 50mm on my Panny G7 -- without having to use diopters, I hope.  Since it's 2x, I'll have to stick with the 16:9/3.0:1 AR - may looking into the 4:3 photo mode sometime.  I hope to snag either the SLR Magic's Anamorphot or the Rangefinder

Actually I only got the Panasonic G7

I'm interested to know about that too.  It's my first time with doing 4K, which mine's is only UHD and I downscale it for 1080p for processing.

Thanks for the critique - PM'd

For the test shots I did are untouched CineD - meaning all contrast, sharpness, nr, saturation are at 0.  I may try out a bit of a -2 or -5 for constrast, and maybe a -2 for saturation in regards to post/color correcting.  I try to go a little bit by bit as I don't want anything happening to the shoots I made (and been reading up the possibilities via indep. filmmaking sites); so I may dab at said settings if I can learn to do custom settings.  I been using a luminance level at 0-255, I think my levels are only at 0-255 and 16-235 (I don't know, I'll check again), but without a doubt, I love it.

Here are some shots after correcting them via Resolve 12.  I managed to get some corrections made, and sometimes it gets pooped out which means I have to re-boot my system, so...

Corrected and applied Oleg's Kodak Kodachrome 200 lut.

Thanks for the response.  It does look clean, even on the 1080p DNxHD untouched clips.  It's the Union Terminal in Cincinnati - shot in a late midday.  I used both the Panny kit lens and the Canon EF portrait lens.  The kit lens I shot the facade, and the Canon some in the interior.  I felt what I did was shot too dark with the ND filter I used.  I may try other things via Resolve to get my image to pop, I'm just not confident in my overall clips I did - who knows I might change my mind.  I hope to replace my old tripod for an AmazonBasics 67" with double handles.  I would love to make a rig, and of course a slider.  I too like to learn things in the independent film/video set, so I'm all in.

Wow, I'm jealous... just kidding.  

Really, these look really good.  I wish I can master something like that, as I am getting used to mine.  My settings were said profile untouched, while trying to set the right white balance.

I don't mean to hijack, but I did some shots on CineD as well, tweeked with the color of Davnici Resolve and the end results.   Two sets (before and after)
