@DBounce Thanks for your comparative : ) However, it is apples to oranges, isn't it? DOF doesn't match. You're using different sensor size camera units. You can't compare a chocolat pie with a lemon pie if you don't add the same quantity of sugar : )) Applied focal length is also crucial : -)
-
On the spot. This camera brand has mojo... There's (regular) MFT and MFT by Blackmagic. Not the same camera format (better than calling it sensor/mount format ; -)
-
LOL In fact : ) I guessed so. I also love 42.5mm f/1.7 on MFT. I know your love for that other f/1.2 ; -)

35mm equivalent or in such terms, of course. That is, focal length obviously doesn't change based on the sensor format, the FOV does. So, for the subject matter, take it as you're shooting FF ; ) My first cup of tea is 30-35mm. A bit wide, less than regular perspective, the way humans see the world, but already far enough from reality. More versatile than others IMO once you can use it for portrait but ready for street shooting as you wish. Being a widest my 3rd choice and a telephoto lens for fourth, preferentially a zoom because of several re-framing options I may have. Needless to say the 2nd place. Yours? The most focal lengths you use will dictate the product you output as much as the duration of your shots or the scale, your editing style. If you'd choose one sole prime lens, which one would it be?

At minute 0:45, it is also there. But blurred by the 720p version on YT, much less. And not visible at minute 0.41/0:42 depending on the resolution you have, so... As usual, blur is the key when the acquisition device has no OLPF. GH5 also lacks OLPF, in any case here is an interesting comparison: source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGTKBnbyxgM

LOL : ) I saw you've asked for the vimeo copy... Have you already checked it there?

Dennis' eagle eyes... LOL ; -)

"Waiting for my MP2, to me allot of footage on YouTube looks unfocussed/ unsharp, not sure if this is focus issue or sharpness setting, but will try for myself with sharpness +1, can always use neatvideo to process the video assuming that my computer is doing a better job than the new MP2." Says Tiny video there on YT comments section. Really tiny indeed... I wonder what kind of certain people have learned about pictures along their own course of life. Pardon my intolerance but there should be rules to forbid some kind of minds to give to the world anything lensed by them... Pity.

Never used this lens but I surely will : -)
-
True. I wouldn't buy a C200 with the price of half-dozen Pockets... LOL : -)
-
Indeed. Look at the exposure or those skin tones... Gives an idea on the tool, though.
-
Nicely put. I am a MFT fanboy too : -D without losing my sight of such lovely FF tools we have : -)

That slide has made my future MOZA Air X preference to add next year but... ...early November availability on the Zhiyun part for the Weebill Lab lightweight as well; rather than the Crane 3 bigger brother. "Masterstroke", someone here said? Well, just made the list. 3kg is more than enough at mirrorless ballpark. https://www.zhiyun-tech.com/WEEBILLLAB This new gimbal generation is a whole new world. Surrendered to both sides and long life to this next techie evolution level just arrived.
-
Indeed ; ) One of the reasons why GH1 got my attention from : -)
-
-
I just think people here, there and everywhere (myself included if I don't pay enough attention : ) tend to generally focus more on virtual brands love than real tools usability. No price yet on Moza Air X but once the Zhiyun Crane 3 / Weebil Lab will stay under $1,000 I guess they won't end far away : -)

"MOZA Air X will be available in the first quarter of 2019 from gudsen.com and Gudsen Resellers worldwide. Pricing will be announced prior to availability." https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/gudsen-moza-launches-moza-air-x-the-innovative-design-camera-gimbal-developed-for-professional-filmmakers-300721516.html https://www.gudsen.com/moza-air-x Same feeling here. That's an amazing tool. But people here are more focused to always discuss when not pixel peeping codec bit rate the same camera sensor mantra. A glance on a fair comparison with Zhiyun here tells it. Without mention I find 4.2kg vs 2.5kg payload for the MOZA Air 2 comparing with the Zhiyun Crane Plus much more interesting than the slight pricing difference. Let alone the MOZA iFocus Wireless Lens Control Systems and last but not least, it will be available from my birthday date on ; -) My exception for the more versatile lightweight by Zhiyun as well a no-brainer Smooth 4 though. Interesting those two features there too: "A new innovation for the gimbal is the image transmission box underneath the camera plate that contains a HDMI port for wireless image transition to the Zhiyun-Tech app. The app can then track subjects and act intelligently with the motion of the gimbal. USB ports for camera control are also included, but this is limited to Panasonic GH4 and GH5, and Sony a7 cameras for now. A very neat feature not mentioned in the video are the three motor/axis locks. When correctly balanced, users can lock the positions in place, so that even if the gimbal is powered down and packed away or transported, the balance settings remain the same, when using the same camera and lens combination. This saves the pre-shoot balancing that can be a pain when filming in a run and gun situation."

And you were not the only one. I left 5DII in behalf of the GH1 only one year later my previous purchase. Silly discussion. This Tony N. looks like to be a smart a$$ more often than should be. I've also abandoned his insights for a long time now. Who abandons who (or what camera format) after all? Useless pseudo-experts can waste your time and money.

Impossible to say no to that 18-35mm f/1.8 to begin with... ; ) Even though that 6K *cough cough* promised capability from those workmanship Zeiss are much hard to ignore : -) In any case, people tend to overestimate their more expensive glass love or the usual FF mantra... Take a look on these menu-priced pizza samples and tell me those 35mm f/1.7 and 50mm f/1.4 cans are plain garbage that I'll pretend I must believe or I cannot be a professional posting in these pages... LOL : -) Not only on MFT side obviously, even though, the claims for larger formats as much as sharp end or 8K alike and other yadda yadda can only rely to become pure BS to serve as excuse for laziness ; -)
-
What kind of glass are you looking for? 1) 18-35mm f/1.8 (with focal reducer) + native 42.5mm f/1.7 MFT format lens; or only native glass such as: 2) 14mm f/2.5 + Pancake 20mm f/1.7 + 25mm f/1.7 or then the upcoming Leica 10-25mm f/1.7 + the customary 42.5mm f/1.7 as fine affordable alternative to the Leica f/1.2 counterpart; or yet: 3) Oly 12-50mm f/3.5-6.3 + Lumix PZ 45-175mm f/4-5.6 (for smooth motorized zoom option); all that bargain stuff.

Don't underestimate Jim Jannard, man... : -D

Sure not. I see you haven't paid attention to my posting... One of the rules here is to create a community of posters, so I am used to read you ; ) It is useful to create a community of non-anonymous users BTW : ) The point of this thread is about something you're still waiting for, because didn't happen yet, hence the game on title. Do you have any real fastest AF lens on APS-C side? No. Do you have any reliable AF camera for accurate AF tracking to offer you IBIS coupled to 10-bit recording in-camera, among other goodies, just to prevent banding when you also need it, as for instance? No. Emanuel : -)

Cameras have pros and cons. All of them. We should all know that.
-
Exactly. People tend to bash GH5 focus abilities with no absolute key about the device as a whole in every and each feature the tool has, focus related included. It's a world in fact. Tracking? Well, we're speaking of something else then.
-
What focus? Tracking focus or some other AF offer? Because tap to focus can perform some other outcome of a different kind, as much as that sorta auto follow focus mode feature GH5 has.
