  1. Update:

     

    For those of you who encounter this in the future,  I bit the bullet and (against Olympus' recommendation) cleaned it with a lenspen sensorklear.

     

    After a fierce battle with a speck that, to my surprise, was stuck on there pretty good it came loose and I was able to wipe down the sensor.   The sensor bobbed around quite a bit while I was cleaning so I checked the IS immediately afterwards to make sure I didn't wreck my camera, and it still performs beautifully, even handheld with an 85mm it looks like it's on a tripod.

     

    So for the record, I didn't have any problems cleaning the sensor with a Sensorklear, though I don't hope to make a habit of it.

  2. I just noticed a speck on my E-M5 sensor (see photos below), it just showed up today and I tried an air blaster and it didn't move it at all, so I'm wondering if it is dust actually. 

     

    I read that you aren't supposed to go after the E-M5 sensors with a Lens Pen SK (or other sensor cleaner) because of how they're mounted with the 5-axis IS so I was wondering if anyone here has had to clean the sensor before, how did you go about it.  Did you bring it to a professional, send it back to Olympus, or do it yourself with no ill-effects?

     

    Thanks in advance!

  3. Disclaimer: I am not the seller of this lens, I just thought I'd mention it here in case anybody has been looking for one of these since they're fairly rare as far as I know.

    No idea what the seller has in mind for a reserve, presumably ~$1000 at the lowest, but hopefully it's not outrageous.  I'd bid myself but I really can't afford it right now unfortunately, looks like it's in pretty good shape.

  4. Obviously the specs right now for these cameras say only Prores and Raw but is there any possibility that they could add DNxHD in a firmware update sometime in the future?

  5. Does anyone know how much frame coverage LOMO's 16mm lenses get?  Will the Kinor 16 lenses cover the BMPCC's S16 sensor?

     

    I ask because Kinor 16 lenses are dirt cheap on ebay, right now I can only find this one but I seem to recall there being a few more options (a 10mm and an 8mm and some longer options maybe?)
