Nice grading. You have the colour spot on with the Jaguar.

Car shot is Voigtlander 50mm F1.2 Aspherical (the new one), Leica M mount. It's a gem.

The anamorphic shot is the humble LA7200(!) on Leica 23mm F2 pancake with autofocus-through (Super 35mm 4K mode) but needs very large unobtainable diopter for close focus. I've always had a soft spot for the LA7200 it was my first anamorphic adapter.

Thanks for the compliment, and thanks for the Info!  can't wait for your review and for this thing to get vlog so I can finally make a decision on buying it.

Thanks @Andrew Reid for the files!  great colors.  What lens did you use? I noticed the anamorphic clare on the computer shot, wondering about what you used, specially on the car shots.

Cheers,

Methinks it would largely work, given what I've seen from other VLog cameras (much more so than, say, NLog). That said, I'd like to do a version for the S1, as that would be fully accurate and tailored to its image. 

Yes!!!  I am not joking when I say this, but a big incentive for me in probably buying the S1 would be emotive @Sage

Can't wait.

Hey Ed, great test.  No f35? you did great stuff with it, why not in the test?

Has anyone noticed any weird color/contrast shifts lately with their uploaded Vimeo videos?

Hey Mercer, did you ever find out about this? I've always noticed it and is pretty annoying.

Great stuff guys.  I can't believe I'm thinking of upgrading from the 5d2 to the 5d3 after so many years. 

Can anyone that have shots showing skintones share some more DNGs? that's where the real magic needs to happen.  Only seen a few.

thx!

OK, I'm back at home. Haven't had a chance to have a look at these yet. These are the first DNG in each of the sequences I shot today. There may be motion blur in some, as it was handheld, and some were through a car window.

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/oqdeuipslwnvipq/AADPkIFTb-HCVPmdsZKz6AeEa?dl=0

All are 3168 x 1320. I used 5x crop with 14bit lossless. I see A1ex has posted a new build with all the new crop modes included. Haven't had a chance to play with those just yet. But these DNGs are continuous at 24p on a Komputerbay 256GB 1066x.

They're not particularly pretty. But if you don't have a cam and wanna have a play - jump right in!

EDIT: And if you're interested in checking out how Cinelog-C can contribute to a ML workflow, I've exported a 444 Cineform transcode of those very same DNGs in one file here:

PS: Lens was a Tamron 24-70 @ 4 to 5.6 mostly.

Hey hyalinejim,  thx for these DNGs.  I've graded ML Raw files before but there is something about the richness of these files that allows me to push the grade a lot further now.  Very excited about this.

Does anyone else out there has more skin tests DNGs they could share? that's where the magic happens.

THX

Hey Dan, where you able to resolve this? (pun highly intended)  If I understood your question you can't change your raw clip to the bmd color space? you go under the RAW tab and go to Decode Using, then when you go to clip you should be able to just get bmd color space.

So nobody has tried the Toshiba 1066x yet?  I am thinking of buying one, just waiting for the first review on that, see if its worth it.

It doesn't die through exhaustion like a mechanical part or the unfortunate Chinese worker who was tasked with making it in the first place.

That comment just made my night.

I personally think that people like Bloom etc, or even Laforet (game changer was the MOVI for 15k?... still not over that) is that now people with probably less resources than them will have RAW, for less money than them and their expensive cams(which they probably get free or at least cheaper than the average joe).  And that's probably scary to them.  They both supported greatly if not amazingly the 5D2.  They helped start the DSLR revolution.... but now? they are way pass that point, and sadly forgot about that point in their careers.

btw, this IS the game changer we were hoping would happen when waited, and waited, and waited for the 5d3... thanks ML

Thanks Andrew for such a great article.  It felt almost way to personal. 

Had to post this, too funny not to

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AOAsL9hA4Hg

Would love to see this in the next Zacuto shootout!!

By the way, why can't we donate anymore? I've been trying to send these guys some love but is been desabled.

Don't know if you guys read this about a new adapter from Metabones:

http://www.metabones.com/info/105-info/180-metabones-introduces-third-generation-smart-adapter

Hey Andrew, instead of exporting the DNG sequence from After Effects in a Lossless quicktime and then bringing that in to Premiere, try the "Adobe Dynamic Link" feature in Premiere, just look for the AE project, and it will open up all the compositions from that project and just bring it in.  You'll save some disk space and any other changes you do in After Effects will be reflected in the composition that is now a clip in Premiere.  I know is weird that you can't import the DNG sequence directly to Premiere but somehow it reads all those files through After Effects.

8bit with gaussian blur filter included

This beyond Philip Blooms April fools.  This is probably what someone was referring to as a "game changer" less than a month ago.   ;)

Does anybody here know how to import DNG files to premiere 6? I can import them to after effects but to premiere.  I heard there is a DNG importer but can't find it anywhere in the adobe site.  Thanks.

If they could only get a minute of record time, that will change everything. 

I can't donate for some reason.  They have that function disabled.

Bet that would make even harder for canon to take legal action since they are not making anything out of it now.

I hope the ML guys can pull this off, but it just got "discovered".  We should give these guys at least a few months see what they can do before we throw a parade.

... btw, the magic lantern site been down for more than hour. Weird, now is re-directing to google.com

Is kind of funny that this new development is coming out the same day the 5d3 firmware leaked to underwhelming reaction.

10-20 seconds would be amazing with this.   I wonder if Canon might interfere.  Hopefully not.  Magic Lantern is the only reason I still have the 5d2.  And if this gets developed further and to other canon cameras, then I guess my B-cam will also be a canon. 

This will only help Canon sales if it reaches its full pontential.

... now back to donating to the ML team!!

Interesting idea about the kickstarter project but if they consider putting a camera together they'll probably use canon parts... and I'm sure the Canon legal dept. will put their hands all over that.  Hopefully they won't stop ML now with this new development.

Hey guys, just wondering if anyone knows a good(hopefully cheap) place to rent some anamorphic lens in Los Angeles.

thanks!!

Thanks tferradans!!

Stupid question,

but what's the difference betwen the KOWA 16-A, 16-D...  etc?  any quality differences? harder to focus with the taking lens?

Stupid question, cause I know this is way off. But once the Speedbooster comes out for 4/3, what will the focal lenght be for this camera?  since the sensor is 16mm.

My money is on something like a Focus system.  Something to get Focus perfect everytime.
