It was part of a review at Cinema5D, you can find more info there.

@8:14 the Atomos representative mentions his wish of having a "stop, start trigger"... what does this mean and how would it help?

I think it means that when you hit the record button on camera, Atomos automaticaly starts to record too. You have video here of how it works on C100 + Ninja 2 combination 

Just bumped on this on Vimeo in GH4 group, so my bad.

Canon are still a big sponsor for many of the entities behind NAB, as well as for many pro shooters. Nevertheless, Canon will have to deal with the consequences of their more or less phlegmatic appearance at NAB eventually, somehow. They'll risk making themselves increasingly irrelevant.

 

On the other hand, the Atomos Shogun was released right at the same time as the Sony A7s, at the same venue, so it was only natural that the two were represented together. But Jeromy made it pretty clear that the device is made for all 4K-capable cameras, not just the A7s, which should be screamingly obvious, anyway. The Ninja Star was said to be maid especially the GoPros and other light action cams in mind, but it, too, will work with many other cameras, including the GH4, obviously.

 

Who said life is fair, anyway? Life is not fair, and no doubt it looks even more unfair to a fanboy of almost any product.

With a little bit less fanatic fanboyism, life may look a little bit easier to tolerate.  ;)

How did I let myself to become a fanboy, I'm going now to throw myself under the train and that's on you.

Canon brought two small chip camcorders (nothing revolutionary) and one expensive pro zoom lens to NAB and they had their representative one on one with Dan Chung from News Shooter on Teradeck Booth. Just watch the guys from Canon and you will see that they have their faces red like lobsters because they didn't show anything that matters and everyone around is inovating and lowering prices, but somehow their new ordinary cams are more important to talk about then two great new Panasonic cams. You have Atomos Shogun with A7S, GoPro with Ninja Star talks etc., but the Shogun is best paired with GH4 because of the 10 bit hdmi output and nobody talks about that. They covered almost everything else there and it was good to see so many interesting new products, but to me this is a little bit disapointing.

I don't know, maybe it's too soon to tell, but I've been following their posts since the beginning of NAB and there is not a single post about one of the most exciting products this year. In one video on Teradeck Booth they had Panasonic representative siting there with GH4 in his hands and all they talked about was GoPro, Ninja Star and DJI Copter, not one word with the guy from Panasonic. Cinema5D show On The Couch had representatives from Sony and Canon on interview, why not Panasonic(GH4, VariCam - very hot products for comparison with Canon and Sony from my point of view)? I don't know maybe it's not their fault, if that's the case I apologize, but to me this is very strange.

I think this 4K to 2K workflow is great for final result. I have made a quick Porsche grade with filmconvert, 2K ProRes 444 in and out and uploaded like that to YouTube. I can only say that even with my mediocre grading skills, I am astonished what image you can get from this little camera.

Thanks Andrew for your great work!

Thanks again, that is all i need to know

the Angenieux 28-70 f2.6 is a legendary lens with great look and is very very collectable $$$$$$ ££££££

Tokina did make a version of this lens using the Angenieux plans and design - it is alos very rare and collectable

 

 

 Tokina AT-X PRO AF 28-70mm 1:2.6-2.8 Ø 77 JAPAN (Pro I with screw on hood) This is the original Pro version which is also the most sought after version by those new D700 owners in the know since its the version that's based on the Angenieux optical formula. Recognized easily by the ugly and short screw-on hood. Multi-coating was applied to a large number of lens surfaces to help improve contrast while at the same time reducing reflections and ghosting. There is also some suggestion that this version had one HLD (High Refraction Low Dispersion) glass element, though this is not certain.

 

28-70 for me is better range

 

if you want a killer stunning lens the Carl Zeiss 24-85mm in N mount is absolutely stunning razor sharp with micro levels of detail

it is a very good and very sharp lens , superb on video ,it is quite collectable and therefore can get expensive

 

also try the Carl Zeiss 28-70mm in C/Y mount - its cheaper and just as good - I use mine alot micro levels of detail on this lens - aspheric elements

 

also the Nikon 28-70mm f2.8 is the Bourne lens as used on Bourne Ultimatum for all the crazy sudden crash zooms on Matt Damon

very sharp usually goes for about £600 on ebay

Thanks for the reply Andy

I'm planning to buy GH4 sometime this year and would like to pair it with sigma art 18-35 nikon mount + speedbooster. So with Angenieux, would be covered from 18-70mm and don't have to buy C/Y speedbooster also. Sometime later I would get some primes, probably sigma art series. One more question, does Angenieux 28-70 f2.6 have the same look as 35-70 and i suppose it's even better (and more expensive :) ).

Some other day I found this lens on ebay and did a little research. There are some photos out there that impressed me but I found only one video. To me the "look" seems great on stills.

Does anyone here have some experience with this lens and would like to see some opinions about the combo mentioned in the title.

Thanks in advance and sorry for my bad english
