Will just any cheap Chinese adapter do? Which adaptor do you recommend for the G85?

@mercer I'd be interested in trying out some vintage primes, it's just I've got no idea where to begin: I think Cinegain recommended the Zeiss, but there's a lot of folks who swear by the Nikkors too.

Just for those who don't wish me dead - that was a joke.

The site is up and working. It would be unethical to share the LUT, since there is a voluntary contribution for the developers.

I thought Paul Leeming said V-Log on the GH5 had two stops greater dynamic range than Cinelike D, but the last I checked was a few weeks ago.

Once my check to Webrunner clears, it'll be on its way!

Whose main gripe? You mean the $800 Panasonic cards aren't suitable for 4K?

word salad.

It would be awesome if Cinelike D could be enabled in the GX85.

@PannySVHS Lovely work, wish it had gone on longer. Beautiful colors, grain, everything.

I tried really hard to watch some of Wolfcrow's previous videos, but they just put me to sleep.

Because I have liver cancer. Check this out if you really like yellow/golden skin tones.

Not written very well, sorry!

Let's be honest with ourselves for a moment... would you run out and spend a grand on this lens based on images like this?

I just want to know why the OP failed to mention that he removed the card from the camera as it was still writing before slamming Lexar.

I haven't seen much work from the G85 that would benefit from higher bit rates. Most of it looks great to me as it is.

There's a lot of misinformation out there about Cinelike D, and from reading these pages over the past several years, it appears that Lumix users mostly choose to go with either Natural or Standard photo styles, or Vlog if they've got the GH4 or GH5. I myself had avoided Cinelike D because in the past, reviewers had said it was too orange, or it looked as though there were too many conflicting thoughts on what the best settings were for contrast, saturation and so on, so I just stuck with Natural. Natural was also the profile of choice for those of us wanting to use many LUTs but didn't have a log profile in camera. But Cinelike D has a significantly greater dynamic range than any of the other profiles save V-log, and it is flat enough that there's no need at all to reduce contrast in camera. As for whether or not you like the colors, if you set white balance correctly, you've got yourself a great starting point for grading or adding LUTs for the look you're after. So, before you write off Cinelike D because of the lack of documentation online, or just because you read comments such as, "I like Natural better", or "I like the work of X, Y or Z, and they shoot with Natural", why not ask to see the work of those with the expert opinions? Incidentally, I love Jase's work, too, but he doesn't have the option to use Cinelike D, and I'm sure he'd prefer it if he had the choice. And for anyone still trying to decide whether to go with the G85 or save a few hundred dollars and get the GX85, I'd unhesitatingly recommend the G85. Here are a few screenshots from a test clip I shot over the afternoon in mixed tungsten/daylight using the X-Rite Colorchecker.

Why the GH4?

Yes, Panasonic is making external recorders obsolete so you can afford to purchase one of their $800.00 SD cards.

Over at Amazon, the Lexar 128GB UHSII 1000X averages 4.4/5 stars by some 1,764 customers. Like batteries, there are lots of fakes that are virtually indistinguishable from the genuine article.

Pretty much my feelings exactly, concerning the lack of Cinelike D. It was only when I started shooting Cinelike D with my G85 that I felt the DR range of the Lumix was beginning to approach that of my X-T2. The lack of a microphone input is another thing as well. The Zoom is a good workaround, but it's nice to be able to plug a Rodelink directly into the G85. For those in the market for a new midrange mirrorless, I'd still highly recommend the G85 for those reasons, as well as for the fully articulating screen.

Surprised how small it is, first of all. Comes in a very durable hard plastic case, so should last a long time, with care. I'm working on yet another viral video, ? comparing the results of eyeballing WB, using one of the WB presets and using X-Rite. X-Rite is getting me in the ballpark faster and with less guesswork. I also guess it's compatible with the plug-in Color Finale, just not sure if they've added the G85 or GH5 yet.

Amazingly, I just got my $200 X-Rite Colorchecker from Germany, no mafia/customs fees. Something this small just might make it through, too...

Lots of V-Log L goodness in that PDF.
