I want an Irish Wolfhound, to match my own size. 

But first I'll need to stop living in an office in the downtown CBD! And get somewhere with a lawn. 
 
Only three sleeps away if you're on crack. 
 
I fixed your typo for you. 
 
What are your first two?
For me: Facebook, then jwsoundgroup.net
I delivered a few pizzas last night. 
Was very disappointed to discover reality was not what was promised. 
 

I learned English thanks to this site (and pornhub too)
So I know all about dynamic range and horny milfs looking for a young pizza delivery guy.

My G85 is a great camera. While I'm personally looking at upgrading to the Blackmagic Pocket 4K sometime next year, I'm definitely keeping my G85 around for a long time. It's a reliable workhorse.
Yep. The results I get out of my Helios 44-2 and Minolta Rokkor PG 50mm f1.4 are really great with the G85. Gotta be sure you're able to deal with the significant crop factor, but the IBIS on the G85 really does help it pair well with those vintage lenses.

I can't speak to the G80/85 but as a recent GH5 buyer I can confidently say that the lenses are the other half of the picture, and if you have to stick to a budget then put some aside for great glass.
I've just done a couple of trips with the GH5, Voitlander 17.5mm f0.95, Helios 44-4, and SLR-Magic 8mm, and the stand out aspects to me are the DR, the 10-bit capture, and the three lenses.  The 8mm has that WOW factor for scenery and landscapes, the f0.95 gives that lovely DOF on the MFT sensor and great low light performance (better than the human eye), and the Helios gives a soft rendering that really looks like film and without a speed booster gives a 116mm equivalent and rounds out the lens kit.
I have no idea how much you sacrifice from the GH5 with the G80/85 but I get the impression it's not so much?
Edit: I shoot hand-held and the IBIS worked spectacularly well, at 58mm in gusty winds on a small boat the locked-off mode gave rock solid landscape shots even with the ETC digital zoom mode making it something like 160mm equivalent, it was just incredible.

No offense but this is very basic Amazon shopping "skill".  Avoid any other vendor other than ships and sold by Amazon.
(Unless it's a company selling it's own goods on Amazon.)
 
What is the point of this post? You got burned because you bought from a crappy source and now blaming Amazon... Same thing can happen at eBay or Alieexpress or wherever you are deal hunting...
 
You might want to boycott Amazon for other reasons (warehouse working conditions) but this is just silly.

I'm not owning a P4K at the moment, but man, you did it again!

Pleased to announce that my Pocket4K app for Android is now complete and is with beta testers so barring any calamties will be available from the Play store on the 21st of December.

Here is a screen shot with a quick run through of the features from top to bottom :

Across the top we have the controls for Aperture, ISO and shutter angle.
Next up we have the colour temperature and tint controls, the preset white balance selectors, the Auto White Balance button and, of course, the Record button.
Beneath that we have the 8 snapshot memories which you can use to store and instantly recall 8 different custom settings of ISO, Aperture, Shutter Angle and White Balance. To store the preset you long press on the memory slot that you want to use and to recall it just short press. Haptic feedback is given to indicate that the preset has been written and the currently loaded preset is denoted in orange (M1 in the shot above). Presets are stored in non volatile memory so are always available in any session.
Next is the focus controller, which is operated using the slider and/or the fine tune buttons. A long press of the button moves instantly to closest focus and infinity respectively. The AF button in ths row activates the single shot auto focus.
To accompany the focus controls, you then have 6 memory slots (A to F) to store focus points and you can switch instantly between them by simply pressing the required one. In addition, next to these are the controls for A-B-A focus transition and the speed control. Again, all focus points are stored in non volatile memory for use in any session.
Finally we have the controls for applicable MFT power zoom lenses with the same interface as the focus controls (including long press for instant minimum/maximum zoom) and 4 non volatile memory positions for later recall.
There is another function that it can do that I'll let you know about closer to release date and I will put up a little demo video of it in action late next week.
 

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that there aren't many topics on here about anything to do with RED because not many people on here own them.
Oddly enough, I do though and have had an EPIC X for seven years and I'm not sure I follow when you say its got the same problem ?
It reports those same Canon lenses just fine on its adapter and reflects the actual aperture values (rather than the 64 'send it and we'll let the lens work it out' routine) correctly for the same lenses, with no repeats.
It also reports the aperture back correctly from the suitably equipped PL lenses I've got as well so its not an issue I have come across or can reproduce.
The design of the product has an MFT mount integral to it though so it was obvious that they would use a selection of those lenses.
What they shouldn't have done is say that those lenses are fully compatible because they patently aren't.
That's got nothing to do with it being 'dirt cheap' or who they are selling it to.
Anyhoo, for what it's worth, my Android remote app fixes the problem so that it will only send the values that each particular lens has a valid matching aperture for.
So if a low rent whining prick like me can resolve it then hopefully the $400M corporation can do the same at some point.

I'm finding what might be described as "interesting" behaviour when changing aperture values.
Aside from the unusually high degree of granularity (there are 66 different positions between f1.3 and f22 for example), I'm finding that there are a number of repeats within these positions.
For example, there are two f1.3s, so when you have it on f1.3 then step up to the next value it is also f1.3.
This is repeated at several other positions and is the same, for me at least, on both native MFT and adapted lenses.
At some positions, there is no difference in exposure (so if you move from the "first" f11 to the "second" f11 it appears the same) but worryingly that is not always the case.
On a Canon nifty fifty on a speedbooster for example there is a very clear exposure difference between the two f1.3 settings.
The quirkiness of it having that many steps and some repeats is something I can live with if it was consistent between lenses and was only an indication foible in terms of the repeats but its neither of those things unfortunately.
I have an understanding of why it is happening based on the BM protocol and messages I'm reading back from the camera over bluetooth but I have a limited range of lenses so obviously, it would be appreciated if any of you could check behaviour of a couple of lenses and see what happens with yours and I'd be particularly interested if anyone can try it with lenses with a wider aperture than f1.3 to see if there is a similar issue there.

There is no real true info on the cameras. I don't really see why this thread exists at all to be honest. What do people expect it to be, a total guessing game. What is the prize for winning LoL..

My Friends over at arri told me they don't know you.

I've shot the Winter Olympics as a freelancer so it isn't out of the question as long as you can meet the usual requirements of membership of a recognised professional sports journalism organisation such as AIPS and have a body of recently published work.
The accreditation is via each country's Olympic comittee rather than centrally so you have to apply to the one in your country. 
As a freelancer you will almost certainly be required to produce a letter of assignment from a publication/broadcaster but this will vary depending on your individual country as will the number of slots available for each specific role (writer/radio/photo etc).
There will also be some rights restriction aspects as well that will strictly define how you can use your content so you will need to make sure that you have that clarified precisely. 
I suspect that the more immediate hurdle for you might be the deadline to apply though as it may, as it has with the British association, already have passed.

With Black Friday and Cyber Monday coming up it might be nice to have a central place for these random upcoming holiday deals/coupons.
