You lucky!:) I won and bought an Olympus Zuiko 28mm F2.0. Hope to get to test it soon. Need to buy another adpater. It´s just not fun to buy adapters as it is with buying lenses. cheers

It is a great pleasure to read Andrews latest articles. They are awesome, informative, entertaining and beautiful reads, awesome trademark quality content. This article I do not agree with, regarding its premise. From 3200 ISO on D5 and D500 sensors are among best in their classes, trumping Canon and Samsung cameras. DXO numbers show minor differences. DXO numbers have always been taken with a grain of salt from a lot of people on this forum. So why would they matter now regarding the small differences they are showing between NX500 and D500? Andrew is still right on the awesome performance and value of the NX500 and its competitive image quality even compared with the newest APS C cameras from Nikon.

Congrats! As far as I know, the ZF is sharper at the edges when wide open and sharper for distant shots when wide open. Flaring is also much less. Great buy, you got yourself a modern "Hollywood". Oh, yeah, and show us some footage please, if possible. Beautiful lenstest vids are the best!

@kidzrevil, you better tell us the focal length(s) you naughty! Looking gooood. Where is the video?:) cheers Never getting tired of some good old fashioned Seb Farges action. He is the man of joyful video work, full of life and energy and awesome taste in lenses. Here it comes, from the man himself, slr magic 10mm: Enjoy I bet Zak, @Zak Forsman, can give some more insight on the slr magic 10mm. I think it shows some very interesting characteristics in term of close to midshot distance bokeh, great dynamic perspective when moved in z axis and around the subject. See yourself in a lenstest video from Sabi Company:

Mission impossible. Thank you and thread closed I like this idea. Somebody? Nah, thread closed for sure

The 35mm 2.0 Zeiss on the RX1 is supposed to be the best 35mm lens to sensor combination as we know it. There is a seller offering the lens module for 130 GBP. Any ideas to modd this baby onto any modern camera mount, supposely to Sony E-mount, as flange distance on the RX1 is very short? Would be awesome to see that baby in action on Emount cameras. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Sony-Zeiss-35mm-2-0-lens-module-for-Sony-RX1-/152625992700?hash=item238937d3fc:g:c9UAAOSwyWZZPnb5

Exellent work! Color is exellent! What profile and settings did you shoot? cheers, Marty

Hey Mark! A7s has pretty much pixel perfect 1080p and should compare very well to downscaled 4K.

And, beautifully, 1080p is perfect 1080p resolution, even seemingly better than C100/300 and it keeps that quality up to 60p, with some detoriation up to 75fps and from thereon going downhill until 180fps. Would have been awesome to have pixel perfect HD up to 120 or 100 fps.

@BTM_Pix, I second that. Unfortunately out of likes for today for the both of you

Hey Glenn, awesome find. Visually one of the best DSLM/R cinema verite style narrative shorts I´ve seen in months, if not the best. The montage is stunning, leaving more impact on me than the highly acclaimed eyecandy piece "Towers of Turkey". Thanks for showing, very inspiring piece for every single no/low budget filmlover/maker. Colors are magnificient. @meudig, Panasonic G85, better HD than GX85 and mic in. IBIS, 4K, 60p, strong 8bit codec, CineD, nice colors. It doesn´t have audio out though.

Lovin me a classy Mattias Burling "5 reasons" video. Watching in a minute.

Hey Jon! Pretty set up, pretty good lookin!:)I have the same cage I think, labeled as Rollei 4K. So on the right, when looking on your photo, I see a HDMI clamp. How is the connection from you BMD assist to the micro HDMI of the G80, solid enough with the clamp? Is it the 7inch 4K model? Are you liking the quality of the external recording better then the h264 footage? So many questions about the G85 in a mighty 1DXMII and GH5 thread. cheers

Steve has done some of the most beautiful writing on cameras, I had a chance to come across when surfing the web back then. His GF1 article was dope. His GF1 and Oly Pen comparision, his Panny 20mm1.7 vs Nikon nifty fifty comparision- beautiful reads. Always loved the guy and some of his awesome contributors. He has done plenty to me to inject the sparkle of joy into me. Nowadays I don´t visit his site on a daily basis anymore, because Eoshd and video has been taken over:) Just recently I had a beautiful read of one of his friend-contributors about Rollei 35mm cameras. Always good to appreciate the people with heart and passion and their content and their awesome achievements and contributions. Thank you, Steve Huff. Awesome write up, Arikhan! Beautiful words! You are still a youngster? Great contribution, thank you!

DXOMark... Seems like the Oly EM1 II is a piece of witchery compared to the GH5 then https://www.dxomark.com/Cameras/Compare/Side-by-side/Olympus-OM-D-E-M1-Mark-II-versus-Canon-EOS-5D___1136_176 https://www.dxomark.com/Cameras/Compare/Side-by-side/Olympus-OM-D-E-M1-Mark-II-versus-Canon-EOS-5D-Mark-II___1136_483

Thoughts? Maxi, the legend is back! Awesome. Glad to read you again, Max!

@tonysss Exellent montage and flow. Great handling of the camera with that tiny lens and akward focussing ring too.

Short turnaround fits the video well. I like the way it is planned out. Good rhythm, framing, great energy and awesome train running through the background. Very effective and very well done!

It has lower resolution than the 28mm 2.8, which is due to its nature of having shorter focal length. Didnt put it to proper testing when it comes to bright sunlight other "bad" light though. It is not a resolution monster for sure. You might wanna get the Tamron 20-40 2.7-3.5 for much cheaper. It should be just as good on the wide end. If shot on APSC even better due to less vignetting compared to photo full frame format.

Dear Jon, yes, scenario is the main criteria, be that climatic, experimentally motivated or commercial ones f.i. I don´t think it is ETTR what you are doing. I think it is getting the maximal amount of light before the nasties are appearing, in order to avoid noise, in order to get the maximum potential and not always immediately visible visual information. With RAW it is supposed to be ETTR big time. Taking pictures with my GF1, even in RAW, it is a no go. But exposing as much as possible is still desirable regarding quality of the signal. I think, it is that what you are aiming for. And sometimes that can be -1/2 dialed into the camera, because sometimes camera meters are different than others. In my bright sunlight scenario with huge dynamic range and plentyful light to feed the sensor, the risk of noise was much lower than the huge risk of nastily overexposed mess. That mess could have never been rescued afterwards, not technically nor in any pleasing visual manner at all. For the jerky movement with auto shutter, I can see it very often too. Just check my bicycle video, if you like for stuttery motion because of that. I filmed a little exercise two weeks ago, with auto shutter, -2/3, in softer GX85 HD and by accident with gruesome ISO 1250. But it turned out kinda pretty, because amount and even more the quality of natural light was beautiful. Regarding color shifts, that is even a thing one can try in Resolve. Pure white can expose nasty greyish purple if pulled down in post. So for filming or acquiring material, it sure will show how we expose. And getting the curves right in Resolve can be a tricky one too, sometimes a lucky one. Once I graded one of your G81 videos and it turned out awesome, because you had captured great quality light. Event though I dled it from youtube. In Glenns videos I never noticed stutter, neither in Jase´s. Only in mine, which is not fair! So I usually prefer to stick to a fixed shutter. I actually recognize stutter and jittery motion, with anything that doesnt involve faces. And on my HDMI monitor I can see the jagginess, I wasnt able to see on the VGA I have been using until only a few months ago. Tilts and Pans sometimes look terrible. It´s quiet an art to do handheld with these Panny photo cams. Was amazed @mercers videos because his camera movement always looked stunning. I wish you all happy shooting and experimenting.

I do that when in bright sun light filming docstyle. Autoshutter and -1/2 to -2/3 underexposure with 95% zebra.

Nice achievement. I like the rhythm and pace and framing and directing. Storywise it is what it is, done with the intention of the client. Pretty lady in there too:)

Yeah, to find beautiful vids I search for lenses and equipment. Typing GH1 into vimeo search gives me some of the most beautiful shot stuff to look at. For photos the same. Back then I used to look up Yashica Electro 35 CC alot at Flickr, looking for photos. CC is important because it´s the model with a 35mm 1.8 lens. Beautiful camera to take pictures with. Awesome lens too. I found the D4 video looking for Distagon 28mm. I think I will jump on the Zeiss wagon some day. But that glass mighty expensive! Still adore your Canon FD 35-70 F4 video, lensfootageporn at its best! By the way, not much cool video footage out there with the Angi-Tokina 28 70 2.6-2.8. That has to change, I bought one yesterday!

Have been thinking about getting a GH1 for a while. Some of the most beautifully shot vignettes on vimeo are GH1 stuff, because of the mojo and the spirit of that time- people been exited about that awesome technology of their GH1 camera and astonished about shooting with vintage optics back then. But then, will it give me so much more pleasure to use it than a G6 (almost as cheap to buy) or my GX85 because of that shortlived tradition? Another cheaper camera, my G7 doesnt get used at all, because I dislike the tactile feel of it. So I got two really cheap cameras and a bargain camera (GX85). Also got a E-PL1, E-P2 and GF1. Lost in the m43 universe. Hey, someone said, GF1 would be the poor, poor, poor mans Leica. So, anybody wanna buy it from me and put Vitalys hack on it?:) Nah, I keep it!

Nikon color science and Zeiss goodness making the older Nikon D4 shine. Should be even better on the D750 regarding resolution and much better regarding quality of codec. Anyway, why not get a Canon 1DC combining both: awesome color and good 4K resolution and the possibility to adapt some Zeiss glass in Contax Yashica mount or the Zeiss ZE lenses without adapters?
