I am currently toying with the idea of selling off some equipment, a barely used t2i, a couple point and shoots, and some lenses to fund a gh4 or something equivalent. I really like the idea of transcoding the footage down to 1080p 444 prores. Supposedly you can get a 10 bit color depth from the gh4. What is your workflow with the 4k? And to keep this reply relevant to the post, what sized sensor is the Samsung and what are your favorite lenses to use with that camera?

Yeah, that lens was sick. I was just telling a friend of mine that Kubrick's lens choices, and in some ways, creations, was the perfect marriage of craft and creativity. I loved how he used the nasa lens and then had zeiss make a wide angle attachment to go over it, I would imagine you would lose a stop of light, at least, so I guess that .7 f-stop lens was the perfect fit.

Nice video. Amazing locations. To be honest, until recently I was not sold on 4k, but after digesting a bunch of videos, yours included, I can see the weight of the image, even when transcoded down... Maybe especially when downsampled. Really nice Jena lens too. How does the NX handle camera movement?

Hi, I am new here but I have been reading the posts on lenses and I think someone here may be able to help me. I have a Canon EOS-M, a NEX 3N and a Pentax Q7... And a t2i that I am going to sell soon since I stopped using it once I went mirrorless. I use all of my cameras for video only and I have a growing collection of lenses. One lens, in particular, a Canon FL 35mm 3.5 has my head scratching and I was hoping someone may have some history on this lens? It seems like it is a bridge lens between the FL lenses and FD lenses, since it has a rubber focus ring. I also have an older FL 50mm 1.8, with the older, metal, scalloped focus ring, but for some reason I am not getting a similar iq/look between the 2 lenses. Again, I assume the newer 35mm 3.5 has better coatings than the older 50mm 1.8, but I am not certain. The 35mm is stunning. I have a NOS sample and it is easily one of my favorite lenses. From wide open to closed down, the iq is beautiful, very filmic. Would I be better off going with an FD 50mm to match the look of these lenses, or is there also a bridge 50mm lens I am unaware of? Also how would this lens fare on some type of speed booster? Sorry about the long post, but thanks in advance for any insight you guys may have.
