I had this lens on my a7ii, sold the cam, kept the lens and made eventually the plunge back to Sony land because of that single lens - whenever i look at the images it produces I cant say something else than plain love Since I am currently more a telephoto kind of guy, the equiv 60mm is ok for now. When i came back this weekend with my first shots with the voigt on the a6600 i was blown away by its sharpness - you really need to see the picture fullscreen to see the insane sharpness - the forum preview does a rather poor job. Quite some time ago that I was that blown away by gear as i am right now with this lens. Even when taking into consideration that this is just a 4k framegrab and not a photo! Speaking of 40mm photos taken with this lens (again open in fullscreen):

Can any of the owners comment on the amount of crop that is applied as soon as EIS is activated? I am wondering whether with activated EIS (small) APS-C lenses might be an option... Leica has some smaller TL lenses that look promising (and expensive...).

Interesting, so you would not agree with Cinema5D telling that MOV is somehow crippled to 8 stops?

No it is not. Application is top -> down, e.g. at the upper position the cineD to vlog LUT has to be put.

Sounds rather disappointing, especially if you take into consideration that cinemad5d reviews tend to be very "friendly". EIS only when shooting MOV, yet MOV only has 8 stops? Moire? Mh, at this stage I wont be an early adopter although I really would like to love this camera. Hopefully upcoming firmware updates address some of those issues.

I have the G9 and by using the Cx presets you are perfectly able to do that. For video f.e. i use CineD while using the Natural mode in the "A" mode.

I wonder what crop factor will be introducted when using the electronic stabilization..

a tad offtopic, but I have to admit that the VLOGs of @DaveAltizer are one of the very few hat I really enjoy watching until the (suprisingly not so bitter VLOG) end. Top notch content!

Yes!

Maybe a bit too much to ask, but do you think that this could bring all those "lost" video modes from the GH5 to the G9 @BTM_Pix? I understand that the capabilities of the GX80 might be limited, but the G9 could be a different beast? Since I own it, I would love to have the GH5 modes ;)

Nice one. Although i would not hesitate to do it, we have to think where to put the mic in physically. And on top of that: i am not an audio engineer but afaik, we cant just solder directly the 3,5mm mic in to the cable that connects to the onboard mics unless you accept crappy quality and whatsoever, can we?

oh boy, PLEASE tell me!

Hello everybody, i am in the market for a 5 inch monitor (recorder is not needed). What I would love to have is: bright screen (usable in sunlight if possible) false color / zebra / focus peaking I checked the atomos shinobi as well as the smallhd focus. The shinobi ticks it all but seems to have quite some severe lag and is twice as heavy as the focus. The focus however does only have a 720p screen (how much does this matter in contrast to the shinobi's 1080p?) and no zebras. Anyone with experience on the GH5/G9 using those monitors? are there any good alternatives? Thanks!

Thanks Sage. I got a question about exposing with CineD. You write: So what I do is setting my Zebra to 55% and expose for the skintones - secondary I check whether the scene wouldnt be completely blown out. Is this somewhat correct or am I missing something?
