The jumping is not good. My Sigma 17-70mm does that and it's very distracting. 

Stunning images Andrew. Do you know how this lens performs compared to the Zhongy Mitakon 50mm f0.95?

Oftentimes 35mm film can end up with a green tint. Check out some film vs digital pictures here https://www.streetsilhouettes.com/home/2017/3/20/an-inquiry-into-digital-versus-film?rq=m10 

I always thought that on movies shot digitally they purposefully added a bit of green tint to the shadows. I didn't realise it could come from the lens itself.

I definitely find that the green tint helps to provide the image with a more grounded feeling.

Looks like colors modified with the FilmConvert plugin.

I don't think so. FilmConvert grades tend to be more extreme. These colours are more pastel-like.

To get these colours by hand I would guess something like:

Decrease overall contrast.

Decrease blue saturation and increase brightness.

Shift green hue towards more yellow and desaturate slightly.

That's the spirit !

Which one ?

Haha... I just bought a Leica.. I must be mad

Those little Panasonics are great. I had the GX7 for years and later on had the G80/85 which is also really quite small and light. I found them to have particularly good images in woodland type areas. Nice shots, well done!

Ive wanted the 35 1.4 ais forever. I love the way it renders out of focus areas.

I would not even swap an XT2 for an NX1. I had both and felt the XT2 video was better in colour, DR and noise performance. Also that vertically folding-out screen was great for stills. The only reason I would still love to have an NX1 to this day is that 16-50mm f2-2.8 ❤️

You guys are gonna kill me for this but I actually loved the IBIS in my a7 iii. The reason is that it didn't have that locked-down look from better stabilisers. It still looked handheld but without the microjitters from my shaky hands. Cameras with better IBIS also had a lot of drag when you panned or worse, warpy corners. 

Wow I never thought I'd learn something non camera related on this forum, especially as I go to Reddit everyday. I had no idea about this research lab and the other stuff. I just assumed someone fucked a wild animal and caught their flu. Based on the research you've done it sounds like the most obvious answer is that it leaked from the lab. My question is - knowing the potential dangers, why wouldn't this lab concurrently work on a vaccine?

Could these sample videos be any more boring?

Someone as experienced as Max I have a hard time believing he would have overlooked the sharpening setting. Would love to see other comparisons.

Also disappointed that he neglected to turn off sharpening on the Nikon. He sure did complain a ton about something that can be turned off on the camera.

Are you sure it can be turned off?

The DSLR version of the M6 Mark II is the 90D, which uses the same 32MP sensor. This uses the older 24MP sensor, which likely means that the 4K is cropped as on the M50 and 250D.

Oh.. Disregard my last post then

This camera is basically a DSLR version of the Canon M6 Mark II, which is a camera I've owned for the past several months. It's actually a terrific camera. Not a spec monster but does most things right. Good ergonomics, good colour, good DR and low light ability, microphone jack, sharp 1080p, sharp-enough 4k with low rolling shutter, good lens selection. I actually prefer this camera over the Fuji X-T30 that I owned previously.

So if you  have bigger lenses like the 17-55mm f2.8 then you'll have yourself a great camera to use it with if you get the t8i.

Interestingly enough, it does sound like it would work for a bunch of YouTube vloggers that used to go the Canon route for a forward facing screen, good C-AF and pretty color.

But otherwise... rather lacklustre following the Mark II. Also was disappointed with Panasonic when they released their LX100 Mark II, amongst say the G90/95 and GX9. Thought they could've done more. So I'm hoping these manufacturers aren't all just done with MFT and slowly dropping it altogether. We'll see what is the case when the next gen Panasonic cameras launch.

Was also an oppertunity for Olympus to capitalize on their phase detect autofocus MFT edge by enhancing their video capabilities (other stills focused companies like Nikon and Fujifilm even seem to show more effort), but I guess the alliance means to keep out of Panasonic's video market.

Maybe an interesting tool still, though. In like a year or so when value has come down a fair bit... pretty good news for the 2nd hand market interest in the Mark II.

Lx100 with flippy screen and great AF would make an awesome travel video/vlog camera. Dont know why they held back!

does anyone have a mirror of the video? It's been taken down by youtube?

I haven't done any extreme telephoto work but this is my favourite example of it in a music video

I have tried the viltrox speed boosters (Ef to Eos M and EF to m43). While i can't say how they perform on Fuji, i can say that the quality of the optics in my experience has been really quite poor, even for my low standards. 

As someone who helps develop games for VR im not sure i see the argument for 8k VR. I would rather see better textures, models and shading before an increase in resolution. 

It was a tongue in cheek post but on a serious note, finding the right shoe is the main solution. You can also use gel-based insoles.

Yeah thats what I meant. Fuji to canon, canon to fuji or whatever needs be 

 

I've been somewhat doing this for years now already. You can download the jpeg studio test charts from dpreview for different cameras and use the colour matching tool in Premiere or Resolve

Quite surprising how bad it is comparatively at 40mm.

Did you shoot that from the roof of Mount Pleasant car park ?

Last time I tried to shoot something off there, I was asked to vacate the premises in no uncertain terms !

Yes. I've shot from there a couple of times now and no one's approached me about it yet ?
