Thanks. Will check them out. Also, just consider it an idea for a future vid. If you get to it, great. That footage from the Helios is really inspiring. If you were to combine that with a 1.5x I bet it would give a 2x feeling. Anyway, keep the Chop Shop vids coming! Glad I found your channel.

The Helios looks fantastic Tito. I wish you'd take some quick video of it with a 1.5x and 2x to see what kind of look you can get with it and a real anamorphic. Anyway, thanks for the vid.

True. It looks like it will be very easy to use. Just wish the camera on the $649 model was more attractive. 

Yeah, I wasn't thinking about that.

Isn't the raw version of the x5 around 3 times more expensive? Wouldn't it be better to just buy a pistol grip gimbal for $500-600 and add the Blackmagic Micro Cinema Camera for $995. Then you have something on a gimbal that can shoot raw for $1,600 instead of $5,500.

Very nice. Looks good.

Good interview with one of the producers of the film Tangerine, which was shot with an iPhone.

Well, I love the titles. 

I think the titles are very cool but why b and w when the film is color?

Footage looks very nice- well done. You didn't consider super 8 for the nostalgic "memories from childhood" look? 

That's interesting that you used Lightroom to do the grading. I think it has a fantastic look. Would not have guessed you shot wide open.

Well, it was nice of you to edit your comment and offer a helpful suggestion instead of just snark.

It feels like you aren't getting this. He said he wants something that offers better stabilization.

I think you're mistaken if you think anyone believes the 42.5 1.7 is their favorite lens. Just trying to offer some helpful suggestions, something you haven't done.

They're a tiny fraction of the price of new lenses, even compared to the cheap Sigmas, and have so much character. I would encourage the OP to check out the G7 vid Mattias posted.

I definitely see the magic in the top that actress is wearing. Yowza!

The 42.5 1.7 has stabilization. Also, I think it will allow him to experiment more with shallow depth of field than the 12-35 and that's often important to people starting out with m43. And it'll be better in lowlight. It's faster and much cheaper than the 12-35. But it won't give them the wide angle. I think the 20 1.7, the 42.5 1.7, and using the kit for wide angle would make for a good combination. I'd much rather have 1.7 than 2.8 on m43 and 42.5 1.7 makes for a good portrait lens. Those three lenses would be cheaper than the 12-35, especially if he gets the 20mm used. I'd also consider getting an adapter and going with some cheap vintage lenses.

Didn't you shoot your recent G7 vid with affordable vintage lenses? I think that might be the best way to go if you don't have to have stabilization.

I don't think limiting them to one topic a day will do any good. It's a nation of over a billion people and they all seem intent on bringing down EOSHD!

Me Chinese, me play joke, me put pee pee in your Coke.

Doesn't the stabilization on the 12-35 kind of suck? When it comes to stabilization it's not much if any better than the kit is it? I'd recommend the 1.7 42.5mm. It'll allow you to get shallow depth of field, let you shoot in lower light, and the stabilization is no worse than what you've got. The only thing is it's a portrait lens and won't let you go wider. Or the new Mitakon 25mm .95 for $399- it's manual focus but you'll be able to shoot in very low light and easily get shallow depth of field. No stabilization though.

Beautiful sky, cool chess set, you have a fantastic eye for composition. I got the impression someone wanted to have a word with those horses. That dog has no fear.

I still think your NX1 vid is the best looking vid you've done.

John Brawley said Olympus told him that beginning with the EM5ii they intended for it to be the more video focused of their cameras and the EM1 more for serious photographers. If you look at the recent firmware updates, with EM5ii getting the flat profile, that seems to be the case. Maybe it'll change with the EM1ii, especially if it gets a new sensor, but right now, I'd go EM5ii.

Why would you go with the EM1? The EM5ii is the more video focused of the two. Also, if you could hold off I'd wait to see if they come out with a new sensor for the EM1ii.

I expected the A7s to be the worst of the bunch but is it really that much worse? It and the FS7 look like complete crap compared to the others.

Did you see the story at 43 Rumors about the global shutter sensor Olympus is working on- supposed to have much better dynamic range and low light capabilities as well. 

Here's the link. They wonder if it will be in the EMii. http://www.43rumors.com/is-this-the-new-e-m1ii-sensor-detailed-info-about-the-new-16mp-stacked-olympus-global-shutter-sensor/

That's the Wooden Camera evf. Read the thread title.
