We all are Zach!- Camera admirers on a quest for that beautiful essential way of shooting and creating. With the right camera in hands, which is imposing that direct approach on us, enabling us to be in touch and in love with the filming experience and topic. I have been thinking about an a6000 lately and here it is, a beautiful video shot by Matt of this forum. Love the coincidences and incidences on this forum. Love this forum. Love your guys´ contributions. Love your quirkyness, creativity and joy!

Bummer! Otherwise it would have meant, FD to EF is possible without loss in quality! Now that would have been just too nice! In the nerdy spirit of this thread, I watched Mattias´ bmpcc lens tips two days ago when looking for cmount zoom solutions. Great find that 18 to 108!. Now I remember had been looking forward to more LS300 footage to see from Mattias. By the way, as far as gearhead video consumption goes, looking for certain kind of cameras always lead me to certain kind of footage and aesthetic insights. F.i. regarding 35mm stills cams: cameras like yashica 35cc, pentax espio mini, Fuji natura etc. always gave me the kind of photography I enjoyed the best and learned the most from. That´s why I still believe in the quest for the best personal camera to own. Just like Zach has been on that quest to find the best lens for his Canon Ti, his Bmount experiment, his quest for a filmmaker´s state of mind, his search for secrets, oddities and joy. I will check now for Kendy Tis footage, if he has done another Sony DSLM video or if he has come back to beautiful Canon color. See you later, I´m busy for now

Your NX500 ones are my second faves then:) Still thinking about that FD 35-70mm f4.0 I saw in your cool Canon Ti video. Just not sure, if I will miss the one stop compared to an f2.8 lens. By the way, how did you dare to adapt FD to EF mount? Hey guys, I didnt include ES alias in my considerations of the odd and quirky and joyful posts on this forum! Rather of the kind of filming Raw with the EOS M or lens discussions like about the 28mm "Hollywood" F2.0 and its cheaper substitutes and stuff like that! Just about finding out about little gems of knowledge and secret sauce. And some guilty pleasures of nerdom. And regarding Zach, I think he gave impulses for very lively and joyful discussions with benefit to knowledge regarding apects of filmmaking and regarding ourselves as a community. cheers

Zach is a passionate filmlover and the other alias is just an alias we might not want to have to worry that much about anymore:/ As for the gems and camera geeks amusement, everybody has some favorites and beloved reading and watching moments and experiences. For instance article and discussion about Kendy Ti in his Canon days. Havent checked his stuff since a video with Sony color science showed up in his channel. What a superficial guy I have become:) My favorite lens peeping moment was mercers fd 35-70 f4.0 test or his 12.5mm cmount footage, covering m43 image circle! Loved the enthusiasm of @maxotics and his analytical technical essays and conversations with jcs. I put Max in @ so he might get a ring back to eoshd again:) So much love and beautiful amount of inside quirky knowledge. What were your beloved reading moments and insider tricks or odd workarounds or techniques? Oh, from BTS of Musgo, a nice GH2 feature- the DOP and director Gami Orbegoso was tight on a string to the talent in front of the camera. Someone has been sharing this again a few days ago on Eoshd. Stuff like that. So please share, if you like!

Awesome! Lens love!:) If you perfer manual legacy lenses, you should give the tokina 24 40 f2.8 a try, in Nikon mount plus EF- Nikon adapter. Beautiful lens with awesome mechanics and the exact right look for APSC sensor size. Or you enjoy the great AF with an 18 to 50 f2.8 Sigma or Tamron or Canon. cheers

Hello everybody! This forum has been a place of great discussions. Learned so much. The most fun has always been to discover about obscurities and oddities, fi. regarding lenses like the 28 85 f4 Tokina flare monster. Or the secrets of getting 60p on European Lumix cams or the odyssey of a young filmmaking kid Zak with an obscure lens for his beloved Canon Ti. So much passion and possibilities of discovering things. All the great fun stuff beyond the ordinary 3 light setup for video interviews! I would love to see more of that from all of you great contributors! Thanks so much for everything and please keep the tasty tips n tricks n awesome ideas rollin! Hope Zak is doing great and chimming back in some day, if he likes to do so! cheers, Marty

Since 1080p mode on GH5 has supposely true! HD resolution, please 10 bit up to 120fps. Also, lossless digital zoom in 1080p resolution up to 1:1 HD sensor crop, not necessarily stepless but maybe in 3 or four or five steps. That in 10 bit as well. Also 4/3 mode with full sensor readout and sofore without crop to the sides. Please 2K 10 bit mode. Prores for 1080 and maybe cinema 2K footage!

Hey Matt! Lookin good! Is the FD 24mm as good wide open as the 28mm 2.8? I would assume so. A6000 looks like a nice little HD cam for the cheap FF look with a focal reducer. Does the A6000 offer the 50mbit codec after a firmware update?

Hey Greg! You make that gfilm colour sing, you make that Sony color sing! Maybe the best Sony color I´ve seen on the interwebs, very beautiful color in its own right! Absolutely! Please share more of your stuff! cheers

Hey mercer, we need you to show off more of that 5D3 3K Raw with the Tokina 24 40 now, but in motion! Hope you getting a Panasonic again one day:)

Hallo Fuzzy, well, I only watched Watchtower of Turkey and I found the visual rush very impressive but also very easy to forget about. It´s like a luxury all you can eat dinner, too much of everything and too little of anything. If that makes sense The other one I havent watched. For watchtower: picture quality and workflow with the GH3 is impressive. Still, i dig your little vignettes and videos more, just more my kind of material.

Hey Jimmy, would be cool if you stay!!! Just get off of Andrews cloud and rather get on mine, I dig your opinions And, please Andrew, don´t get angry, you know we admire your work and style and we want you to enjoy your own forum you are providing for all of us. Casey Neistats GH5 footage looks great. I must say, some of the best DSLM colors I´ve seen, honest ones without grading I mean! Awesome colors! Anybody got the hope to get to know Caseys color profile setting?

Hallo Seb, you could also try to set the IBIS to much smaller numbers. With a focal reducer f.i. for a 24mm I would have to choose 24mm x 0.71 eq. around 16mm. So with you anamorphic setup of 35mm and 1.75 one could try 35mm x 0.58 eq about 20mm. cheers

Hey, i´d suggest a GX85 for family footage. It is a joy to hold in hand and has stabilization plus great image quality. Family members will love to hold it and use it. Use the display like most people would anyway and you can use the not so nice EVF for super challenging situations.

Looking very nice! If this is pretty much ooc, this is even awesome color wise. It´s awesomely shot too! That monochrome part is really, really nice! Was it Monochrome L like on Gx85 with its digital option of orange or yellow or red filter or tweaked in post? cheers

Hey Lakes, nice and very charming video! Pannys are very beautiful to grade and to get some nice color out of it. Here is one of my videos I shot last summer with the G6. My GX80 is much easier to grade, very easy indeed to get beautiful color out of it.

Hallo Seb, a nice video of yours as always:) Did you use Cine V like you did on some of your GH4 videos? I think you always made that Gh4 sing. In your Gh5 video the 30p and anamorphic is a funny combination:) I agree, the IBIS is funky looking. Seems like G85 before firmware update.

Hey Jase, not worried about sound so much. Was wondering if firmware update gives IBIS better performance? Still got 1.0 on my camera. Also wondering about Extele mode. It looks pretty blurry compared to my Lumix G6. Also the top three options for extele in the menu are greyed out. I can only choose on and off. Is there a way to get to choose from the greyed out area? I´m in 1080p mode of course. cheers

Cool! Did you get the HDMI clamp too? Also, what is the best firmware version for IBIS? Does it really show in usage? Darn, out of likes for today. Should have saved em all up for that beautiful setup of yours:) cheers

Aaah, Jase! Beautiful setup! One of the prettiest, that camera, that cage, that lens! Oh, almost forgot the handle:) Did you buy cage and handle in a set? Ebay or where from? I got myself a beautiful Tokina 24 40 2.8. It is like a rig for my GX85, awesome to hold on to. I have a question regarding stabilization. What is the best firmware version for IBIS? Does that version make a difference?

Bushman Films has been contributing enthusiasm and knowledge and kindness in his posts. I always enjoyed them and his opinions and so I did with his post of the footage above. Thats what this beautiful forum is about, enjoyment and exchange. By the way, love your Fuji videos, jonpais. Please keep sharing your videos with us. Also, I hope Bushman Films keeps doing so as well. Arrgh, I just did:)

Hallo Matt! Still love my FD 28mm 2.8. Great, light and nice to touch and to focus. It is awesome on boosted m43, very nice wide open. Maybe one of the best lenses smallest money can buy. Please keep on showing your regained love for these nice FD lenses and keep us posted with your footage using these. Really interested to see some footage of the 35-105 from you. Still shooting that beautiful BMPCC of yours? Oh yeah, just bought my Tokina 24- 40mm 2.8:) Beautiful lens on m43 with focal reducer!

Hey Merce! That Tokina shines on aps-c and S35 size and boosted m43. Did a few tests at 24 f2.8, slight vignetting but still nice center sharpness, great enough for beautiful filming. At 40mm a little tad darker across the frame than at 24. But across lengths still nice uniform look. So it is my 3 primes in one, plus some extra at 40:) Love the build and its gestalt! Its very beautiful to look at. Since you love yours on s35 size I´d suggest getting a G7 or GX80 again. Didnt like the manual focusing nor the haptical feel of the LX100 lens, when I checked a few times in the stores. EVF is small too like GX80. cheers and enjoy that beautiful 5diii as we will enjoy more of your videos coming!

Hey Charlie! Piece of cake! Go for Natural all -2 but color at 0. GX85 has beautiful colors to grade in that profile, so will GH5. Hassle free starting point for nice color. Do manual WB or adjust Kelvin manually and you are set! With stunning locations, even better! cheers

You son of a gun of a GH5 thread. Shame on you, GH5! You broke that beautiful record of the GX85 thread for the longest and most beautiful thread! Keep on rockin! By the way, GX85 files are easy to grade to get awesome colors from. So GH5 will even rock stronger color wise!
