Thanks but I don't use AE and to be honest I decided against the GH5 for the time being. I actually just bought another FZ2500 on the cheap. The 5D3 already fills most of what I need in a camera and then for anything quick and dirty, I'll use the high bitrate, all-i, 1080p from the FZ2500.

 

Ok. I have bmpcc, gh2 and Sony rx10ii. But after i saw files from gh5 i decide to sell all of my cameras. 

RX10ii - really good camera, but i can`t get good colors and it makes me crazy.

bmpcc- IQ is superb but no HFR, bad battery life and monitor. No stab

GH2 - is my old friend. But too old for now

GH5 is my next camera i think

I can barely make 5D3 look good let alone trying to match GH5... I wish I was a good enough colorist for that.  It is cool it can be done, though. 

I can send you ae project with gh5 matching 5d3 from this video

Just take your tiffs and apply Lumetri Color in AE 

For my eyes looks less filmic than author grading examples but really natural and good for documental work

Those tiffs are exported directly from the VLog files. The lut I posted only makes small changes to hue and saturation. You have to add contrast and adjust saturation after the lut is applied. Or try some Arri luts on top of my lut.

Got it! Did you upload final grading LUT? Is it possible? I really like how it looks

I white balanced from the colorchecker passport WB target in direct sun at noon. It's almost identical to the daylight preset.

Thank you.

Can you tell me, please, what did you do with this tiff   files: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B1exEpCRAfgFdi1FZ3hma09YZms in terms of color correction?

is it  VLOG straigh from the camera, or you apply any CC? Just download your  VLog to ML colour.cube and try to put on tiff files, but no effects.

Thank you again! I`m thinking about gh5 after your footage!

Hi! Thank you for this test and LUT. Amazing work!

Only one quaestion: howdid you set WB on gh5? Thank you

Tried to match both cameras, actually they look the same now (like 99%)

The GH5 needed like 12 nodes (with the filtering included) while the BM46k only one (ARRI LUT in Resolve with curves and added saturation). 
But at least you can match them.

Here's the video (don't watch in Chrome browser, colorshifts)

@AaronChicago
Can I set the video to public so it may help other potential buyers?

Looks good.

is it possible to make a GH5 vlog to blackmagic mini 4.6k filmlog? So than you can apply second final lut (like arri lut) to achieve this final look? Thanks

P.S: will you share this LUT?

Hi. Using this video

from Daniel Peters i make  a LUT: gh5 v-log to bmd ursa mini bm_film

Maybe someone will be interested: https://yadi.sk/d/IPxyk13d3GXd4o (rar with LUT)

Yep,  because 24 fps out. Try to export as 30 fps and it will be smooth slomo.  

You can try to export as 24 fps, but, i think, you have to use frame blanding options

At least that is an argument that makes sense. What does "compressed" noise look like?

Well, It looks like denoised noise. Skin becomes more plastic, but you still can see fine details. So 265 is only for stream video: really good looking in low bitrate. As you know h256 was made for delivery content to  mobile devices: small size, good IQ.

Check this image. Original footage from h265 cameras looks better, but blocking compression do something with overall details

Best example of hi bitrate h265fail - Look at the grain and man`s hand (yak)... In original resolution (this images was downscaled) the difference would be more obvious

h265 - good for low bitrate. At hi bitrates ( for example - 4k 100mbps 24fps) it can`t hold noise as good as h.264.  Take nx1 and pixel pip at 200%... Details looks good, but the noise looks compressed...

400mbps 4k 60fps h264   video  can provide  lossless quality  with film-like noise

Hi! Any tests? ) Can`t wait to see  how good slr magic variND in terms of IR polution and color shift. I try to decide which one to buy:  hoya pro nd 16 and 4, or this variable nd filter. As i know tiffen variND  is not good with blackmagic cameras, not sharp,  have red color cast  e.t.c... So i wish to see how good this new magic SLR variND.. Can`t find any tests...

Thanks  

HI! What do you think about 

NAVITRON(navitar) TV LENS AND FILTER 12.5MM F1.3 and Cosmicar 12.5 f1.3?

I cant find any information about navitar

I'm an amateur, so can be wrong, but I was thinking, for extreme low light (instead of Nokton's 1k$/1lens) to use upcoming Speedbooster (400-500$) or LensTurbo (200$) + lenses like:

Any modern 50mm/1.4 (400$) -> 36mm/1.0

Samyang 24mm/1.4 (600$)  -> 17mm/1.0

Sigma 20mm/1.8 (600$)       -> 14mm/1.2

 

Or more cheaper: LensTurbo (200$) + Canon FD (50/1.4, 24/2.0 ...) (100-200$)

 

The only problem is very wide angle.. Not many options.

Probably will use SLRMagic 12/1.6 or Olympus 12/2.0 .. but it's still ~35mm FF equivalent.. Have to test if it's enough for me.

And I hope to see more m4/3 lenses in future.. like anamorphic SLRMagic?...

Yes! 

Samyang 24mm/1.4 (600$)  -> 17mm/1.0

Sigma 20mm/1.8 (600$)       -> 14mm/1.4 ~ 40mm on BMPC

Nice variant.  When should we expecting of metabones speedbooster?

By the way, Panasonic 25mm 1.4- nice choise 

For me BMPCC rules :). I'm not professional and it covers everething I need:

1. really pocketable when needed [5D is huge]:  BMPCC + pancake (12mm Oly, 20mm Panas..)

2. excellent RAW workflow: compressed RAW + free DaVinci Resolve Lite (couse it's 2k video)

3. flexible: can use my cheap Canon FD, m42 and my wife's Nikon (or whatever she finally choose) lenses... + upcomming SpeedBooster/LensTurbo

4. cheaper (for me): can use any lens I already have + cheap SD cards = 2k$ (with 1-2 pancakes) and I'm all set.

 

And I don't need stills. I have a wife for taking pictures ;).

Thanks! You are right here. I am thinking about 17.5 mm nokton 0.95, but it's so expensive!A little pity that BMPC can't shoot 60fps

Right now everybody raves about the Mark 3. I sonetimes wonder how long they know the routines to be so easily and repeatedly impressed. Didn't they see
them come and go often enough to realize a pattern?

The 5D's raw is 8-bit only. Though I admit it's a big success and a decided improvement, this isn't IT! Not as good as the 2 5 k BMCC, imho.

Ok!

What is the best wide and speed lens for BMCP for now?)

That was so many tests, and what is the conclusion?

Which one is crisp and sharp?

It`s gonna be much more crisp with 25mm  at  f  2/8 - whats wrong....

maby we can record video to the external storage? and break the limits?)
