Pretty funny, obvious kooks. I couldn't care less personally, I never go there.

Film is still a desired medium for long time storage. Nobody knows the media of the future but film can always be digitized. That's why it's still a relevant medium beyond acquisition. 

Haven't they made that lazer/ crystal cube tech now? Don't remember what it's called, but it's far less volatile than film, pretty sure that's what's next.

They should include LOG on all new cameras (especially ones costing over 2K), it's bullshit they don't.

My EF and F lenses follow me from camera to camera, so it will be a long time before I buy anything other than EF. I'd love to see Rokinon get some competition for affordable EF cine style lenses. It's great that they also have mirrorless mounts as well.

Same here. Would be cool if they offer nice PL to EF adapters to go with them, super versatile then.

That test looks promising.

Surely you would apply after the speed change, doesn't seem logical to do it before.

ReelSmart Motion Blur can give you nice results, however in complex scenes there are a tons of glitches. 

Make a selfie video and wave to the camera. Or just follow a moving object like a car while turning with the camera.

But if you record in 50p and your timeline is 25p you can get better results.

I'm thinking about using it for 160fps footage where I want slo-mo but also ability to play in real time at 180degree shutter look.

I am going to try shooting everything without NDs and using my own shutter speed in post, with the motion blur in Resolve Studio 16 working so well just now... It gives you ability to choose the look in post rather than have motion blur baked into the source material!

Let me know how that goes, sounds interesting, especially if shooting some high frame rate stuff that you also want to slo-mo.

I've always wondered whether bigger rear elements at some point may have an adverse effect on IQ. For example say your scope's rear element is twice the size of your taking lens front element, would it act something like shooting a Full Frame lens on M43? Where you are only using a part of the image circle and glass, thus getting lower IQ? I'm not certain but I assume this is also similar to shooting longer focal lengths with adapters and why it doesn't look so great at a point.

Ah I was thinking of the 16-D!

Yes 16-H and 8z are the same.

Actually I now prefer the Bolex Moller for the smaller size to my old Kowa... but the Kowa 2x glass is right up there with the Iscorama.

I also prefer my Kowa-8s and isco-8s over the ELMOiis I have, small size and weight is definitely an advantage and I also feel I prefer the look (all those people paying top dollar now for Kowa16 scopes will surely disagree haha).

16-H, 8z, Elmoii, B&H are all the same, there is no one in this world that could pick them apart in a blind test. IQ differences are more sample variation and age than anything else (also all can come with different colour coatings).

I just wish for the dual focus lenses, that the front variable diopters were a bit smaller and lighter. They are all 72mm+ monsters!

You should get the Rapido FVD8 or ProtoDNA then, they aren't that big and heavy and are the right thing for your 8mm scopes. I use them with my kowa 8 and isco-8 scopes.

Pity. Very promising tool.

I agree, it could be a very lovely camera with ML. Imagine the eosm but with DPAF an EVF and a few other upgrades.

ML isn't dead hahaha, it's the same as always.

Really?

Yes. It's not a port any developers are working on. You need to have that specific camera and want to invest time in it, right now no one has taken that task up.

Nothing is happening as no developers are working on this right now.

It is stable for continuous raw. I'm not having this conversation.

People have their own wants and needs, also opinions, thank you for sharing yours. 🙂

Meh.... feels kind of underwhelming...

Is this really what you want? Feels like a repackaged 1DX mark 2.

Whatever, there is probably a market for "good enough" afterall.

I wouldn't mind that.
It would allow me to retire my Canon 5DIII and have a B roll video body in the same package. I'm all about reducing my kit and a body like this would help me do that. Right now I need GH5+5Diii in my bag.

If you don't like the aliasing you can buy an AA filter, they do exist.

I really like the UI, way better than a lot of manufacturers DSLR mazes, also with way more options than any DSLR I've encountered.

If a camera with ability to shoot continuous 14bit raw is a "cool toy" so are all DSLRs for film making, they all have the similar issues, mostly just with worse IQ. 

I would agree that MLraw previously wasn't functional and stable enough for me (especially on the eosM), but those days have passed, I've come full circle and back to the eosM and the experience is completely different. I don't use it as my main camera, but I've basically retired my GH5 in favour of it now, even without 4K the image it's just a lot nicer.

I shoot MLraw on EOSm a lot, I've never found the aliasing to much of an issue in my uses, maybe I'm shooting different stuff though.

As said above, MLraw has much greater ability to get flat image (or any image) because it's a 14bit raw file, not an 8bit codec with a picture profile baked in. ML footage is as contrasty as you make it, with no grade it's actually pretty flat. If you really want max DR this small camera can give use the  dual ISO mode (this does have noticeable aliasing though in the wrong scenes).

Bokeh can be made to look anamorphic but the thing these anamorphake lenses don't reproduce is the differing look in the foreground compared to the background (or in focus vs out of focus areas). This is where true anamorphics (especially those with bigger squeeze such as 1.75-2x) get a lot of their look. Bokeh shape is part of it but it's not everything.

Here’s my latest anamorphic adventure!

Pro-tip for anyone who is considering an anamorphic rig on film: make sure your variable diopter has focus marks! Everything looked focused in the viewfinder, but it definitely wasn’t. Marks and a tape measure are your best friends.

 

Nice one dude. 

This is getting pretty heated.

On the Pi the max video recoding seems 1080p.

On Pi 4 via usb 3 you could connect a ssd so saving on storage would be possible.

I believe the CSI is 4 Gbits/s so if I did the math right it should fit 12bit x 12mpix x 24fps not sure if the CSI is the bottle neck.

That looks interesting. 2028x 1520 4:3 in 48fps Raw would suit my needs well. I don't even need a screen, just ability to record to SD. That could be a pretty small package.
