Are established wedding photographers clamoring for full frame mirrorless ????

Thom Hogan did some interesting analysis of Nikon body sales 2012-15 with his finding that DX was 84% of their worldwide sales ! Concluding with DX is the market they should be aiming at with mirrorless. http://www.dslrbodies.com/newsviews/how-do-fx-and-dx-sales.html

I find the A6500 grip revolting and would be happier if Sony made the body larger with less overheating problems-which seems the route Fujifilm are going with X-H1. Canon and Nikon have DSLRs that are lighter than the X-T2 Canon SL2 453gms with battery Sony A6500 453gms with battery Nikon D5600 470gms with battery Fijifilm X-T2 507 gms with battery

TOKYO - Nikon Corporation is pleased to announce that total production of NIKKOR lenses* for Nikon interchangeable lens cameras reached one-hundred million* in June of 2016. 17 October 2017—Canon Inc. announced today that the Company has reached two major production milestones—a cumulative total of 90 million interchangeable-lens EOS cameras and 130 million1 EF-series interchangeable lenses.

a more elegant solution

"I am not too sure anyone can make a FF mirrorless as small as Sony can. It is on the verge of overheating almost all the time. I doubt Nikon has the engineering knowledge to overcome what Sony in reality can't, and Physics to boot." Sony are obsessed with keeping their mirrorless bodies small -part of their marketing . The engineering knowledge to reduce heat is quite straight forward and if a small company like Blackmagic can I'm sure Nikon have the R&D to do it lackmagic can do Nikon can as well

GH2 with Philip Bloom made seven years ago,how time flies. -plenty of wine whilst cooking helps too

Looks like GH2 to me.But I prefer Nikon D5300 colours over GH2 any day of the week

Seems like quite a shrewd way to finance it .Does it do much to promote Turkey ????

filmed on a Black magic ??? It's on the cards it's a minimal budget production https://www.huffingtonpost.com/shira-lazar/how-do-you-make-a-movie-i_b_9298634.html

Pentax will release their flagship APS-C "Pentax K-3 III " with amazing quality 4K video 10 bit internal and IBIS.A free firmware to record with ProRes will be offered from May 15th

2018 should bring the D750 replacement and next step for the D5600

"If Fuji can get it right" somehow I think Fijifilm have a higher chance of getting it right than the Sony A6500 replacement next year. If the rumored larger body size of the X-H1 is true better cooling and longer recording times may have been a design reason. Sony's A5000 was released Jan 2014 -"overheats after 10mins of 1080P filming" A5100 overheats A6000 overheats A6300 overheats A6500 overheats

X-Pro2 has been available for nearly two years and now gets a major firmware update. Gives 4K video,faster AF tracking on moving subject and support for tether shooting-available- http://www.fujifilm.com/products/digital_cameras/x/fujifilm_x_pro2/features/page_08.html

Dead Sony A7S II pulled apart by "Lensrentals" https://www.lensrentals.com/blog/2017/10/about-getting-your-camera-wet-teardown-of-a-salty-sony-a7sii/

Chinese and Korean lens manufacturers increase their total market share to 20% worldwide auto focus,DSLR and mirrorless lens sales.They shewdly employed some of the best computer programers so that their lens autofocus could match or exceed native lenses.Face detection now gives a facial "freckle count".

Jonas tests preproduction Fujifilm cameras his X-Pro2 review came out Jan 15th about six weeks before they went on sale. https://jonasraskphotography.com/2016/01/15/the-fujifilm-x-pro2-review/

Fujifilm X mount cine lenses are supposed to ship this month,B & H are showing them in stock.http://www.fujifilmusa.com/press/news/display_news?newsID=881136 At just under US $4000 each and weighing around one kg a new more video orientated body seems quite logical.Hopefully no ten minute limit.

eyes wide shut "glow" https://screenmusings.org/EyesWideShut/pages/eyes-wide-shut-0049.htm

A lot of "Eyes Wide Shut" was shot with a set of Zeiss Superspeed T1.3 spherical lenses mostly with the 18mm. Film stock was the "new" (!!!) 500 ASA Kodak allowing Kubrick to shoot at night using very little lighting equipment. "We decided to shoot nearly all of the picture at a stop of T1.3,and since we were pushing everything we were able to create a wonderful warm glow. We also used Tiffen LC-1 low contrast filter for our night interior scenes."

Mercer -and I thought twenty was a lot !!

Django do you ever use a speed booster or lens turbo with your XT2 ???

Kelly I've added "Axiomatic" to my "must watch" list.Thanks for the Takumar explanation.Night footage of the motorcycle looks ace !

Looks pretty cool Kelly, and music goes well with it too.You had plenty of choices for lenses so why did you use the Takumars ???

We know where you live
