Some Angenieux 75mm glory, c-mount for S16 format. covers full m43 sensor with some light vignetting. Another gem to support the yearning for a GH6 with prores, oplf, sdi out, internal nds, super16 glory, 10bit HD up to 240fps, etc. 🙂 Lens has a glorious glow wide open at f2.5, which is like a light source of its own. I love everything about it. Hopefully it will become more thant just a magical item but for pratical use in a short film or wait, why not shoot a paid gig with it for some talking heads footage! Photo taken with the beautyful GX85. Hope that body gets the GH5 sensor and codecs some time. Now that would make m43 my format of love again. I saw a Nikon 35mm f2, a lens from the 60ies vignette pretty strongly on a S1H in 16to9 video mode. So this little lens is doing pretty okay in that regard I think. And it´s my first and only Angenieux lens.:)

@newfoundmass would also love the goodies of a GH5 in a GX85 body. That would be a standout move. Also, like Andrew stated, cut 90 percent of the other cams and focus on the GX, GH and Lumix S cameras. The Panny lineup has been plastered with too many and redundant releases. The GH5II leaked specs list is awful to read. So the standout feature would be 4k60p 10bit 420. Well, I got that in my S1 with a larger sensor area. @MrSMW what makes your S1H so much more exiting than your S5? Hopefully your comment won´t make me want to update to a S1H.:) Anyway, GH5ii with same image sensor should have full sensor opengate 10bit 24p to 60p 422, 444 HD up to 60p, Prores options, perfect HD for up to 240p, 10bit 422 of course. SDI, XLR, internal NDs, full VLog- and Gamut. 2000 USD. Then it would be a tasty treat. GH6 would be allowed to top that. Other than that a GH5II would be a rather uninspiring affair. And better keep the S16 mode!

@IronFilmC70 should do well though in regards to reliability I would assume. I would love to see some BMMCC or BMPCC with glorious character C-mount lenses shot by our forum friends. I know some of you are piling up beautiful footage on your hard drives, such as @TheRenaissanceMan has proven in the Sony PMW F3 thread, old gold from one of his shoots. So please start hunting for your own gems, friends. 🙂

@OttoVGet a Blackmagic Video Assist HD 5inch. I went that road. It was recommended in this thread either by Ironfilm or Ben Ericson. You would want the F3 with the 444 update as that gives you to opportunity to recorde 10bit 422 up to 60p to a BMVA 5inch.

Darn this thread it tasty as the other other EOS M RAW thread. Both threads are some of the greatest browsing pleasures for nerds like us. 🙂 Anyone shooting narrative shorts with this beauty? How does it hold up against a BMPCC? Anyway our friend @ZEEK has provided us with beautiful pieces like this one.

On another forum someone was dreaming of a speedbooster for this to push it up to super 16 sensor size. Maybe time to rethink the classy classic EOS-M rather then waiting for a speedbooster for this little kitten.:)

Beautiful looking camera and rig @mercer I am hunting for a good package, but they are rare and rising in prices. If import taxes to Europe would be cheaper the I could surf the US bay for good offers. I love to browse vimeo for the latest videos. Camera is really tempting, when in a neat package.

@OttoV Awesome, another F3 owner. You can match the F3 to the 5D. The ooc colour palette via Slog to rec709 and of the other profiles is different. But with Hue vs hue anything hue vs sat in Davinci Resolve anything is possible. I think a Sony A6000 would be much cheaper but then 5D3 is a great cam itself. You have to pay for the update. Mine had it already installed and the RGB 444. The latter one making it possible to record 50p 10bit 422 via one single sdi cable to a cheapo Black Magic Videoassist. The image from this camera is "true cinema". For me it is like a BMCC from blackmagic but with 10bit 50p, beautiful lowlight, internal NDs, great battery life. I recommend it though I have not used mine yet. But I am hyper exited to put it through its paces once my other weird shortfilms are done with editing. 🙂 I have a FS700 too, but it is the F3 which really exites me. I think there is a pleasing amount of info on the net about this camera. Check out the dvxuser threads, which have been mentioned in this thread before. The Cinealta lenses come in two flavours, the first one is plastic fantastic, the follow up lenses are sturdier. The are some nice reads on these lenses in the web.As for 18mm Zeiss, I think a Zeiss ZE or ZF could be another and cheaper option. Keep us posted. We need to make this the most exiting thread on this forum!:) cheers The image quality is really something. Check this one out. Even in 720p stream it looks awesome, motion colours, textures, "weight to the image", beautiful. This camera is rising in prices now, so better get yours with the 444 update for 24 to 50p 10bit glory to an external recorder or even 444 24p to an Odyssey or Videopix. Also adapter to NIkon or EF would be nice. Mine came with PL and Nikon adapter. The here is the video, I just mentioned. cheers

S5 would look the same, same sensor, same digital pipeline, same codecs. That open gate 6K from the S1 will be something I will love to check out though. Full height for my lenses, awesome!

Thank you, my friend! This coming from you means a lot to me! I am always exited to see your stuff. This is what this forum is about for me. Exitement, inspiration and great friends!

Will push the AF capabilities of my S1 into new spheres. 🙂 Exiting product!

It´s easy to second that. Best bang for buck regarding image quality. Would love to try out a Sigma FP due to its form factor but S1 is a technical marvel. Yesterday I visited a friend of mine. He used to work in a hotel in Berlin, which has been sold to investors so they can turn it into an office building. He has been working there for ten years. The hotel received financial aid from the state because of Covid and was able to maintain a small profit. Despite that it was sold and with it all labor of love and the stories and memories. So we roamed the rooms and floors and exiting sights. I filmed with a bargain zoom lens, which I bought for around ten EU I think, a Unitor 35 to 70, very soft when wide open in bright sunlight conditions and at longer distances. Still love that lens for its built and character. Shot in VLOG 10bit 25p with high shutter speeds. So here it goes, my lil poem, "Hotel Farewell", filmed with my S1 yesterday. Hope you enjoy. cheers

Awesome videos, thanks for sharing @John Matthews and @kye. Would just love it to not becoming bloated and stay nice and tight the way it is right now.

@austinchimp I think, the GH1 has a beautiful colour palette. Best 709 of the Lumix cams imho. Would have loved a technical image quality of the GH3 or 4 combined with the colour of the GH1. Some gruesome grading out there for sure.:) GH1 footage looks effortless in the colour department. GX85 has some nifty colours up its sleeve. I always loved the graded image of the G6 and the G7. GX85 can be nice even without grading. The former two not so much. Now, S1 is another league of course. One of the best looking cams out there.

seaweed and a tiny, stable minitripod would be ultimate naughtyness and viewing pleasure. 🙂 Seriously, do the tripod thing. Some of the shots would have been elevated for great to magnificient! Even moreso with the montage, which is very tight. Would love to see some c- or d-mount magic with your BMMCC. One side note, I have a couple Zeiss Tevidon laying around, many single ones and one complete as brand new set, except the 100mm and the 18-90 zoom. But have not brought myselt to order that darn Tevidon to C-mount adapter. So, always grateful to see what lens projects you guys got going on.:) cheers

@kye Two years or so back we had a thread with classy classic 8bit stuff. We were discussing how gh1,2,3 and even 4 shooters did much better than gh5 fans on vimeo. How they were rather artisitc than unimaginative techconsumers and advocats of putting anything dull in slow motion. Here is a repost of a video I posted back then, if I remember correctly. If not, anyway, one of my favorite GH1 clips on vimeo. Your example above is a splendid demonstration of craft and love for the image, showing a convincing image for sure.

Awesome, but psst.:)

@kye Masterpiece. It would have been worth to use a tripod to compliment your beautiful framing and montage. Love the shotdesign and realization and the juxtaposition of images and montage in its entity. cheers

15fps for 4K. So close for a super compact video device. I think the HD is low bitrate. Photo quality is awesome though. About as good as from a Lumix G6, pretty close anyways. The samples from the Xiaomi present very nasty artefacts indeed. Looks like jpegs from 2010.

You have a better battery than I do.:) Mine lasts rather 2h. Nothing close to a GH4 or even GH5.

Would have loved a 10bit 422 update for 50/60p for the S series. Too bad its just 420. But still, awesome update.

I am surprised that S1/H,5 footage on youtube does not do the camera justice. The colour out of this cam is awesome. Unfortunately I have not shot much with it since last summer. S1 is best bang for the buck by far in my opinion.

Looks very good. Lush colors in the cinematography, framing, acting and editing, all very appealing. Great job!

Thank you, Tim! I still love the HD image from the G6, even more the colours I got out of it. If it only had a higher bitrate like 50mbit for 24/25/30p and 100mbit for 50p. GH3 or GH4 would be a great vintage 8bit buy I guess in that regard. @Tim Sewell cheers

Love it. Awesome poetic image, Kye! Thanks for posting. My favorite was the Lumix G6 with a Tokina 25-50mm F4 or the awesome Fujinon 12.5mm 1.7, which was recommended to me by our friend mercer. Using it on the G6 in 2x Digizoom or on the GX85 in 4K with its crop gives me an extremely satisfying personal image!
