LOL For some reason you've felt the need for ; ) I wish YT may raise the standards we've become used to. And vloggers are used to put up their views.

I know it is your perspective, Jon : ) But, I was expecting much more from them. Maybe it is also the vlogging style which irritates me, maybe yes, maybe not : D I fairly concur that spending time of viewers to see people to pick up someone else to the airport, it is not my beach at all. As much as all that calling out stuff, who pays this or that. Shouldn't Panasonic be the ones to promote it after all? Their silence or empty statement on a par with a Lumix Luminary who has no clue about 4K on a6500 puzzles me even further. As already written, I didn't see multiple lens setup testing, fair alternatives to eventual limitations of the system, the whole range of settings to be tested in distinct setups. To me, the fact they spent dozens of precious time for that result, reminds me that famous expression... a Pyrrhus victory. I can even recall the tests you've conducted on your YT channel. You have no need for marketing gimmicks to give to your viewers some truly accurate information. Pretty helpful BTW : ) That would be the standard I'd like to find from their meeting.

Right. But to my view, Max and Joseph both have failed for unscientific tests despite their claims. Very incomplete testing. Disappointing to see. A lot of grapefruit, a little grape. All of that because of YT views... Phew.

On manual lenses realm, you won't have access to touchscreen focus... The best workaround to full AF IMO. No idea if with SB + Sigma 18-35 on Canon side, you have it or not, though.

You and me, Ken, I think you all know it... : ) On his newest test, the same here. Where are the different lenses? External recording tests? The whole range of settings? What the hell Joseph was going to do there? To be focus subject to the Max's GH5?

From 19:05 on:

I second that : ) Actually, I'd really like to simply know if... does tap-to-focus work with SpeedBooster + Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 too? :-)

Does tap-to-focus work with SpeedBooster + Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 too?

On G7, it can work out... Maybe a matter of habit or taste? : ) Any signs of hunting in any of both MF and AF modes? Thanks for your input :-)

Indeed. But, there are midways. As much as certain usage such as gimbal work, one-person show... :-)

Have you tested tap-to-focus in both AF and MF modes?

Have you checked the settings for tap-to-focus? Perhaps a sweet spot may save the grace in order to prevent any hunting? I also find tap-to-focus pretty useful and a midway between AF and manual. Also possible to go from AFC and MF, so maybe with different results?

Even going with 22mm (some other reports mention vignetting until 21mm), it is (*0,64) = 14,08 *1,28 = 18,0224 FF equivalent, so the XL version is actually a no-brainer anyways :-)

Exactly. XL is all the way to go once beyond an extra 1/3 stop, you get more or less the same focal length at least, if not even wider -- 16 against 19 (FF equivalent): (18mm * 0,64 = 11,52 * 1,28 = 14,7456** with vignetting, but) 20mm * 0,64 = 12,8 * 1,28 = 16,384** without vignetting (according to some reports) 25mm * 0,64 = 16 * 1,28 = 20,48** without vignetting On Ultra without vignetting: 18mm * 0,72 = 12,96 * 1,48 = 19,1808** On the other end, you can lose zoom range with: 35mm * 0,64 = 22,4 * 1,28 = 28,672** against: 35mm * 0,72 = 25,2 * 1,48 = 37,296** Nothing a pretty affordable 50mm f/1.4 (1 stop faster then) won't solve: 50mm * 0,64 = 32 * 1,28 = 40,96** ** FF 35mm format equivalent :-)

Externally, it is possible to record 10-bit 4:2:2 4K60p, yes indeed. From now on.

A bit faster or much faster? 1) For higher than 4K resolution? 2) And for work in batch? https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2008/10/15-useful-batch-image-processors/ http://www.dummies.com/photography/digital-photography/types-of-photography/batch-process-multiple-hdr-image-files/

Will look forward to follow up your testing! Interesting to follow it under distinct circumstances such as low light and poor contrast setup, obviously. Without hunting, tap-to-focus can shut up the FUD spread a bit all over internet against one of the most lovely pieces of hardware and cameras ever produced.

You can even handle it going with tap-to-focus; mobile app can be really handy.

I always bet on hybrid stuff... cameras, modes (AF, that is, but based on touchscreen focus for sure and MF too, oh yeah, no machine will decide where focus is better than me ; ) But, you still have marvelous 4K/60p, count on it! :-)

Man, you need to test it. Pretty useful. Who cares for full AF after then? A machine can't beat the man. That's the whole point.
