Does anyone have or have used the Sigma 24-35mm Art lens?

That's not official, that's someone talking to an unnamed source at Canon. I would assume it's probable but until Canon officially announces the update, it's not official.

That seems promising. An 80D may be in my future. Also, I vaguely remember you saying that you only shoot in crop mode? If my memory is correct, could you explain the benefits? Obviously, it's interesting to open up a few more lens choices.

What color temp did you shoot this with... the cooler look is great for this piece. Clean shadows too, zebras or Raw Histogram to the right?

Damn Zak, gorgeous. Is that with your Zeiss lenses?

The EOS-M with ML Raw and 3x crop will give a close to 8mm sensor size. Of course, I don't think D Mount lenses will focus to infinity with it, but plenty of old c mounts will and cantsin has some beautiful examples.

This is kinda interesting. I had the Q7 a few years ago and aside from the worst rolling shutter I have ever seen, the camera had some mojo. It worked great with old and cheap D and C Mount lenses Here's a video from it. All the footage is straight out of camera with Cosmicar C Mount lenses. Nothing spectacular but there is an interesting analog look to it... of course I haven't watched this video on a big screen in years. It looked okay on my phone, but who knows...

No purpose really, just curiosity. I am thinking about getting another Micro in a couple months, especially after seeing that the Ursa handgrip works with the Micro's Lanc.

What zoom did you get? I have such a love/hate relationship with BM cameras. I had the BMMCC with the Voigtlander 25mm and loved the image but hated rigging it. I then bought the Pocket with the 12-35mm and loved the image and the handheld aspect of an OIS zoom but missed the 60p. Then I went off on a tangent with a few other cameras until I ended up with a 5D3. I eventually will be in the market for another camera, something with a little simpler post workflow, so now I am thinking maybe I should get another Micro with the 12-35mm for handheld/monopod 60p ProRes... LOL. Anyway... good luck with the Pocket. I loved your F3 work, so I look forward to seeing your Pocket films.

Please post it here if you do. It would be interesting to see how your vision of the video affects the tone of the piece. Btw, did you get a chance to man the camera, or work with the files at all? Would love to hear what shooting with an Alexa is like. Also OT: have you done any creative work with the 80D? Little by little my Canon lens collection is growing and I have almost pressed Buy it Now a couple times, but I haven't seen enough creative work done with one to justify it yet. As an events workhorse camera, it's a no brainer for the price, though.

I was always curious how that 9mm body cap lens would fare on the Micro... how do you like it? I have seen a few videos with it on the Pocket and it seemed better than expected.

Oh I'm sure it looks amazing. When my 720p JVC dies or my 1080p Roku TV goes caput, I may get something like that.

I'm sure it is, but 8K is awesome too, why not buy a Red camera? 2.7K ProRes in Arri Log is unbeatable, why not buy an Alexa Mini? I make few stances in life and kinda go with the flow, but there are a few things that I refuse to do... I will not do self checkout... I do not go to stores to work. And I will not let a corporation dictate what I purchase because their development is faster than consumer purchasing cycles.

Looking good, Matt. I liked the first shot the best. They all look good though and I would say you are nailing a very filmic look with Panasonic cameras. My only suggestion is... make a movie now. Or get a G85 for IBIS and then make a movie asap.

Don't let the new GH5 setting sucker you into buying a new TV...

Tokina Angenieux 28-70mm with 5D3 ML Raw...

Nice work. I think I like the 50D version better but you did a great job with the G7 footage.

Nice work, Dave! Loved the choice of focus points in the shots... great blend of craft and storytelling. Why 4:3 though?

Very impressive. I really love how you push these cameras toward cinema. Beautiful work. Sucks to hear about the water damage though.

Yeah I found some problems with the greens in V Log as well. I really had to desaturate the clip after making it Rec709 to lessen the green. Here's an ungraded and graded screengrab from Andrew's footage, in case someone else wants to give it a go but cannot download it. Thanks for the test footage, Andrew. Ungraded Graded Obviously I'm not a good colorist but it should be interesting to see what others come up with.

I believe the C200 has zero noise reduction, and I believe that's a positive?

How is the 10bit 4:22 1080 All-I?

Nice. I've been meaning to ask you Jon... how did a guy from Detroit end up retiring in Vietnam?

I think the Micro is better than the Pocket. The sensor seems different. I didn't love the rigging involved with the BMMCC, but the files were beautiful to work with.

If that's still happening, then I don't see why it wouldn't count... but you do have four more months, so why not make another? And I'm unsure if you can change the direction on those rail free units. How did the shoot go, btw? I look forward to seeing some screengrabs!!!
