- I f I understand, you need Sony to M43 adapter + this sony focal reducer adapter = stacking, isn't it?
Oh very sorry, only very hastily read @ntblowz post! So when he said "14mm Panasonic pancake" I thought he meant the specific adapter for that.
Anyway, even with the one he said, there is still no MFT to E mount adapter at all?! As you're using a screw on wide angle, direct onto the front of the lens.And the one I use is the Panasonic DMW-GWC1. But yup, the Sony VCL-ECU1 could achieve the same result in the end.

Yeah but the problem is people on this site seem more interested in the main forum where the tech is discussed than the shooting sub-forum where creativity is showcased.
I kinda like that this forum just mostly has a "main forum", as I've seen too many other forums decline if they try to split off into too many minor subforums to try and cater to every possible niche.15 hours ago, Mattias Burling said:Sub forums kills forums.
Exactly.
Sub forums only make sense once you get to a very high traffic volume. (such as say dvxuser had, but then they made waaaaaay too many sub forums, which is now killing it. So even if a website does have the traffic volume to support sub forums, the extra sub forums should still be added in at a sensible pace which matches the rate of the growth of the overall forum size. ) -
The render shows also a mic input, if so this would be the PERFECT camera for vlogging for me!
I've been wanting an ultra compact camera, with a 1" sensor and flip up screen which also most importantly.... has a mic input!! -

Do you know if the tokina vignet a lot with GH5 and speedbooster XL?
Remember that at around 16mm (or 14ish?) you can even use the Tokina lens on a FF camera! Thus is certain to cover at the same focal length a GH5 with a focal reducer.
17 hours ago, ntblowz said:Back then the budget UW lens for m43 is Panasonic 14mm 2.5 with Sony VCL-ECU1, that will give you 21mm focal length with f2.5 to boot.
That is exactly what I use on my BMPCC for vlogging!

You're not stacking any adapters at all.

Yes. The e-mount is still protected as well. So far they allow e-mount lenses from third party but no cameras. Which is a major bummer.
I am assuming Kinefinity just doesn't care about IP laws for the E mount:

haha yeah, if the wireless system you have costs more then the camera you are shooting with, then you are doing something wrong :D
It happens more often than you think. People shooting on say a GH4 on a gimbal with a wireless follow focus. -

I think the number of threads I've openend in my history of EOSHD can be counted on one hand... or one finger even.
You'll need more than one finger. You'll need three fingers! So yup, one hand is plenty with fingers to spare.

I can still remember the daunting task I had of choosing my first ever DSLR (the Nikon D50) and choosing my first ever camera to film with (Panasonic GH1). -

Speaking of soundrecorders... has this totally gone past all of us? There's a new H1 version in town, the H1n (*video below was posted by them 4 weeks ago)
Nope, it didn't go past me! I knew about it even before it was officially announced.
But it is just very uninteresting and unappealing. Thus I didn't talk about it.3 hours ago, Kisaha said:In film school we were told that sound and sight are 50-50. Just count your image spending money, and then the sound. What is the percentage? 99,8 to 0,2?
I don't think I want to add up the money I spent last year on sound gear so I can calculate the ratio..... as the total would be scary!
But I can safely say the ratio would be high indeed!Because on the camera side of the equation: I purchased the Z Cam E1, think I might have got a couple of lenses or so, oh and the Samsung Gear 360VR camera. Plus a few bits and bobs like a variable ND filter and a VCT plate/rails. However that is pretty much all I did for the year when it comes to camera gear! But sound gear? Oh boy, a lot....

I don't *only* post to EOSHD ;-)
20 hours ago, Cinegain said:Mmmkai. Fair enough. Still think it can have some application though (personal music recording), as it's also just a mic itself and it's cheap, lol.
Yeah, but there is no shortage of options for small portable handheld recorders like that. (I for instance own a Zoom H1 original and the Tascam DR22WL)
And this new model is no great leap forward over the original H1- Cinegain and webrunner5

Could you show me some video you shot with tokina and speedbooster pleas?
Punch the right search terms into Vimeo and you can see tonnes of footage from people:

It is wiiiiiiiiide!3 hours ago, buggz said:What Speedbooster did you use your Sigma 18-35/1.8 with?
I'm a cheap bastard, and use the RJ Lens Turbo -

Other viable camera's will come along shortly.
Everything comes to those with the patience to wait!
Now, how long do we need to wait for a NX2? ;-) -

Sigma will not be allowed legally to start making lenses for the Z mount unless Nikon says so. Its not the F mount where talking about, this will be patent protected.
I have no doubt Sigma will make lenses. But it will be with Nikons blessing.
Good point I think. Do all those companies which make E mount products do it with Sony's blessing?8 hours ago, Django said:F mount is a different story, Nikon has 50 years of lens legacy to protect..
F Mount patent has expired however. Thus others can make for it as well. (remember how the BMCC EF came out right after the EF mount expired....)

and focus rings turn in industry standard direction
Nah, won't happen. Nikon photographers would be pissed as hell if they do not conform to their industry standard.1 hour ago, leeys said:Nikon IS a lens company, they're not going to share their lunch with Sigma.
They will if it means Nikon has an overall stronger system that enables them to be #1 in mirrorless (and thus then #1 in the entire camera world in general in the future....).
It is balance Nikon will need to play between more revenue for them from having all of a smaller system or part of a much larger system. -
I've used a X-Rite ColorChecker Passport on a lot of shoots over the year, and just late last year I purchased my own one!
You need to use it sensibly, thinking about where you place it in the scene to measure from, and perhaps even use it in even shot if there is any notable change in lighting at all from shot to shot. -

If we have everybody opening a topic for each article they found interesting, there's no conversation anymore. I mean, if you want to start a single blog kind collection thread where you post all the articles that you find interesting, that's cool.
Yeah if you find yourself doing multiple new threads each week, then maybe pause and consider if any of those can be consolidated into a few less threads.
Then again if you're making less than one new thread per week, then what the hell, just make that new thread! :-P -
On the downside if you're trying to market yourself as an Arri Alexa owner with the "current" sensor (which is true, the original will create an identical image to even the latest as of right now in 2018) then you'll have a tough sell once the new one arrives (but that is also exactly why the current ones will go down in price! Maybe... they might not if the new one is a flop)

The Tokina 11-20 is pretty sweet. I have the older 11-16mm
This can last you many years across many systems.
And who the hell needs AF for UWA anyway? Your DoF is measured in feet after all! -

D500S is a good point, like the D300S was nothing really for photography over the original D300, but the D300S did add video.
Maybe D500S will have focus peaking, no crop 4K, and dare we hope for it..... 10bit?! ;-)5 hours ago, Aussie Ash said:Perhaps a couple of proper Nikon cine lenses !
One can dream! Hope so.5 hours ago, Aussie Ash said:also the D750 replacement is already overdue.
Always been impressed and tempted by the D750. -

Isn’t DJI Tello $99
Well well, that is news to me. Little surprised DJI is going after that extreme bottom end of the market.

just a thought... if you took a high resolution still from the ceiling, could you crop in at the start of the shot and simply zoom out in post to replicate the movement? It would keep it simple.
We did exactly some of that post zooming in a little short I did recently. -
Don't worry, doesn't seem like they're doing anything too groundbreaking here. But we'll know more at NAMM

You're changing the angle depending on the distance of the subject?!
If I was doing it with GoPros btw, then I'd get this from Timecode systems:
https://www.timecodesystems.com/syncbac-pro/hero4/
But I feel the Yi 4K or Z Cam E1 is the way to go for DIY VR.
Or if BMD does a price drop like with the BMPCC, then the Micro in a heartbeat. -
Should I buy a Samsung NX1 now May 2017???

Ditto! I'd have got a NX500 instead of a Z Cam E1 in a heartbeat at that price.
