    flat black paint?

     

    also, unrelated. any footage of Canon FD 20mm 2.8? Couldn't find much online...

    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.

    There really are no hard and fast rules for anything, be it exposure, shutter speeds, stabilization and so on. I would think, however, that if you're shooting aperture priority, the shutter speed would constantly be changing, as would the smoothness or jitteriness of a shot (depending on the shutter angle), from the beginning to the end of each clip, as far as I understand it. So that couldn't be a desirable thing. I suppose if the subject were completely immobile, it wouldn't be a big deal.

    Edit: I did try shooting at higher shutter speeds twice in my life, once of some fancy motorbikes sitting outside a restaurant here, and again during my field test of the Olympus 75mm f/1.8, and I found the stuttering motion to be pretty disturbing. 

     

    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 am by no means experienced in the department of grading, but my last 3-4 videos or so i underexposed with -2/3 and I love the results I am getting. However I also have to conclude that my GX80 is sometimes overexposing, so turning it down by -2/3 makes the zebras go disappear in the highlights area.

     

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

    OT: Panny, nice find. This guy's work is inspiring. Love his old GH3 video...

     

     

    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!:)

    I like the idea of doing current work with my 'ol hacked GH1 and a chinese-speed-boosted 50mm.  That's, what, $250 for all that?  Kinda wish I still had that camera...or had the nerve to stop buying new stuff and just be creative with what I got.

     

    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! :)

     

  6.  

    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?

    Agreed...except one of the best aspects of that lens is the fact that it's a pancake....on a stabilized camera, you can be on any street corner grabbing stellar footage while attracting no more attention than a tourist!...huge value in that stealth factor for me...I've actually contemplated the 14mm 2.5 Panny pancake for this very reason...they are tiny and optically excellent for the price!

     

    I think for street photography I´d love to shoot with an Oly EM10 and the 14mm Panny lens. The autofocus of my 20mm is bugging me, manual focus is not

    a pleasure neither. It has beautiful optics with cheap ergo and not pleasant tactile features. So the 20mm in the gestalt of a SLR Magic 12mm 1.6 would

    be awesome. Would be my one and only lens if I had to choose.

  8. @Mattias Burling, you hinted towards all of them being APS-C. So here comes my guess:

    3rd one has a threedimensional look. Must be a Foveon camera just like in your video. So camera 3 is your 80 dollar Sigma DP camera, shot wide open.

    Though you got very lucky with that price. Should get a Sigma DP Merrill some day or all three of em:)

    Second one has harsh chroma. Would say the 500USD camera with a vintage 28mm 2.8 lens, also wide open.

    First one is the 2000USD camera, maybe Leica M8 with a 35mm.

     

    PS. The fixed Sigma lenses on their DP compact cameras are some of the best lenses one can find in the APS-C format.

  9. Would be awesome to have the panasonic 20mm 1.7 pancake modded. Well, I couldnt afford it, but would love to see the result of such optical and mechanical beauty.

    I don't see any real reason to look at GH5 at all, when there are SONY a6300/6500. Bigger sensor, less noise, S-LOGs included, autofocus, and much cheaper. just for 10bit 4:2:2 400Mbit/s? Not for me.

    8bit Sony will show artefacts quicker than GH5. Slog especially in that carnation will show artefacts quiet easily. Slog of external 422 8bit recording with the Sony FS700

    shows banding and blotches pretty quick. 8bit and slog is kinda tricky.

  11. @Grimor, nice edit and framing and pace, perspective. Nice job with the colors as well. What lenses did you use? Exellent choice of focal lenths! Great job!

    Hi guys, with all the advices readen on this topic, here is my last work with the gx80. I hope you will enjoy ! Any feedbacks are very welcome... and I know there are still many things to work on ;-)

     

     

    Hallo Mick, nice filming. The moody start at the beginning was in the known manner of such mood/people pieces,

    nonetheless solid. Out of that I really liked the cheerful part with the youngsters having a great time at the beach- nice perspective and framing and focal length.

    I really liked the energy of the surfing stuff. Maybe a little story or storyline would be nice to give it some narrative interest.

    Something like preparation, collective cheering afterwards about the great surf moves. The music I found rather of the generic moody style, typical

    modern video soundtrack style. Anyhow, good camera work and exiting surfing footage and filming!

    I was pretty excited that the C200 was offering compressed RAW, 15 stops of DR, and solid color science. buuuut there are a lot of compelling specs in the EVA. If they can truly attain Varicam color and 14+ stops of DR, i might be tempted. But I worry that 400mbps won't be enough. That's half what 10 bit ProRes 422 HQ would be at DCI 4K. 

     

    Think Varicam LT has the same 400mbit codec, doesnt it? And its supposed to be pretty nice for lower framerates.

    I'm disappointed they didn't leave it Super 35 and just stick to the MFT mount. I'm guess others that have invested in panasonic glass may be having the same reaction right now...

    Also, no Canon FD glass without cropping adapters :( But no more speedboosters necessary for that glorious S35 Look, Varicam sensor, awesome!

    Also best light sensivity after Sony A7S, without the 8bit artefacts!

    If they were to do that I think it would be in a DSLR/Hybrid format. This won't eat into their Pro Camcorder sales, but a $4000 version would. 

    I predict that JVC will add internal Raw to the LS300 and it will look and work amazingly, and no one will care. 

    LS300 with internal 2K RAW. Great idea. Instant buy!
