I do. It seems more natural but with the normal anamorphic properties (barrel distortion, oval bokeh, flares).

Are you sure the Rectilux would give you the same distortion. Sounds like the Rangefinder is gonna drive you nuts, because you'll always know how much better your footage will look without it.

Justin, I will upload a couple later today. I posted this question in the anamorphic section and got some good info. Any type of diopter, including variable, will add some stretch vertically.

Do you prefer the look without the Rangefinder?

I can't imagine them selling many in the US at that price. You can get established brands for less money.

Apparently the GH5 will have IBIS.  And the Panasonic GH5 tester is also claiming 1 stop improvement, matching what Olympus has said.

The quote is "one stop better and IS"

I think "one stop better" is referring to ISO. They claim the G7 replacement, combined with one of two current optically stabilized lenses- but they plan on making the dual IS compatible with more of those lenses over time, is good for 5 stops of stabilization. Which is pretty remarkable. I imagine the GH5 will at least be able to equal it. Still, looks like Olympus has the edge unless Panasonic can step it up for the GH5. 5 stops is incredible. 6.5 stops is just unbelievable. 

The EM1ii probably won't be as good as dpaf but then again, can Canon offer 6.5 stops of stabilization? The af looks to be vastly improved, and given the stabilization with the new 12-100, I'd probably be willing to make do. 

Olympus says the stabilization for the EM1 ii combined with the new 12-100 is gonna be good for 6.5 stops! I wanna see what this looks like.

Honestly, I am more interested in getting the best shots in my situation than I am with getting the highest IQ.

There's always a piece of gear that will do something slightly better --so I don't fret about that a whole lot. I'll use what gets me to my "happy medium." For me right now, that's 5-axis in body stabilization. 

I'm currently a documentarian. So my needs might not be your needs.

For a documentarian, I think the EM1ii plus the new 12-100 could be an awesome combo. If the stabilization of the lens combined with what's in the camera is as good as they say, that's just incredible.

I think the video looks okay but if you want really nice looking Canon video you're gonna have to get one of their cinema cameras, which is a major bummer. At least it has DPAF. 

It's about time given the pile of cash they've been sitting on.

i seems like its mostly stills photographers who has the camera so far, not many of them own an atomos or other 4k hdmi recoders

I thought the flog was coming in a later firmware?

Are these lenses really rare? I've only come across a brief clip of the Moller and nothing with the Zeiss.

The Acros film simulation looks impressive.

Not impressed by the color footage but this looks really nice.

The Pocket is in desperate need of a refresh. I don't know their sales figures, but I bet they've sold as many of the Pocket as they have every other camera they've made combined. 

So which one do you prefer and why? 

Love the bokeh.

Sigma said they expect their lenses to be under $5,000, which makes me think they'll be in the same ballpark as Tokina. They do look very nice. But I think I'd rather have the $850-900 versions and save some money.

Vova's the man! Fantastic work.

Love those flares. I guess this is 2x? Just looked it up on ebay and these lenses are pretty cheap but huge. What kind of setup are you using?

Well, I just heard a Sony rep at IBC via Newsshooter and Cinema 5D stating that the price will be 4000€, which is 4500$ (though I have the feeling it will be cheaper than that in the US). Overpriced? It is true that you can have a faster-aperture-similar-range Canikon SLR zoom with speedbooster (that would probably be my choice) but it's true they are not the same as a true ENG lens. This 18-110 seems to be very different from the 28-135 which in my opinion is a failed lens (wrong range, non-parfocal, and terrible by-wire ring controls). Everything is mechanic, both the zoom and the focus rings, and is follow focus compatible out of the box. It tries to compete in the league of the new Angenieux, Zeiss and Canon "affordable" S35 ENG zooms, and at 4000€ it really is much cheaper and compact than any of them...

I know I will probably rent it, but being f4 @ 4K, it really really has to be amazing to be worth buying over a Canon 24-105 or the Bourne zooms + speedbooster

This isn't a true parfocal lens either.

So unimpressed by 5dIV videos. Huge file size, poor rolling shutter, huge crop, and image is no more beauty than gh4

I really do think the GH4 looks the best, and that surprises me. I figured I would go A7rii, 5d iv, and then GH4. But it ended up being the exact opposite.

I think the GH4 looks the best. And the colors are similar to Canon, but I think even better. The A7rii, no way it's that bad.

This is the first Canon camera I've been interested in in ages. Just wish they would add a fast portrait lens to their lineup. It'd be so cool if they had a trio of affordable f2 lenses.

And from my perspective Cinegain is right about the need for a variangle screen.

If they would just add a couple more affordable f2 primes to go along with the 22mm. I think this is an exciting camera.

DPAF and 5 axis IS? I think this camera looks and sounds pretty awesome.

I wonder how much smaller it is than the full frame lens, which is enormous.
