Cant wait to see what you are referring to in my quote

1.5 * 1.17 would be right and so a crop of 1.75 just like the speedbooster thing, just with a result into the other direction: fi: crop 2 * speedbooster factor 0.71 = 1.42 crop on our beatuiful HD m43 G6 with FD China booster! That does not make the sense it supposely might appear to do so:) FHD crop stays 2, because Full Frame 36x24 Sensor is cropped just as well from the top and bottom in 16:9 mode. Also, FOV of a crop 2 doesn´t change to the sides just because off chopping off the top and bottom of the sensor for 16:9 mode. So FHD crop factor stays 2.0 for calculating your equivalent FOV in 16:9 HD with your 24mm full frame lens

Most posts and links related to Philip Bloom are still on here. So it is completely different. There has been great appreciation on this forum for Philip Bloom and his contributions to the video community, and that just very recently as well.

That´s an intense move on Dpreviews side. I enjoyed Dpreview back then, reading their reviews of m43 cameras or the first tiny 43 dslrs from Olympus, just enjoyable and rather laid back readings. Heck, loved to browse through their database for the ultimate pocket camera, Canon g5 vs Sony v1:) Didnt they get bought by Amazon a few years ago? That´s big and successful business involved, if you know what I mean by successful. Intense move from dpreview- Amazon style. A very ugly move. Wow, what is going on with them, I mean nofilm and such?

No, I missed out on that one, also on a Kiron 24mm F2.0 for 77USD. Was filming test footage. You lose some, you gain some

Wrong headline. It is not a movie. Fellini, John Casavettes and others were moviemakers. Their outlook on the world was different from the presidential candidates´ one. Their approach never mentioned "the greatest nation" of people on earth. At least aliens from other planets would NOT (in caps:) fall under the category of the "LESSER great nations on earth". So, are Fellini and Rosselini less than Scorcese? Marty wouldn´t state so. EOSHD is a beautiful blog for filmmakers. Thread closed?

Hallo guys, thanks for contributing so much to this topic! @bunk Thank you for sharing your practical experience. If I summarize for my own conclusion: -EF most flexible -one booster for many mounts not without varying problems -of the cheapo adapters, RJ is not the best, rather take ZY Optics/Zhongyi/Mitakon Lens Turbo, this from @BrorSvensson´s experience For the short run, I would like to mount Minolta MD glass on FD focal reducer. Anyone found an adapter for mounting MDs on FD? Haven´t found anything. Flange distance is 42 for FD, 43.5 for MD. 1.5mm difference might be too short for an adapting solution though. Pretty sure of that. cheers

That is a great table to gain info from. Thank you. I´ve been checking that one out before. I highly value you guys´ practical experiences. Handling a solution with one focal reducer for as many adaptable mounts possible. The wikipedia table gives info about the technical conditions. You guys are the valuable source of the practical side of it. Has anybody tried adapting a Pentax or Canon FD lens to a Konica F mount? Great to hear that, confirming my experience with the RJ in bright sunlight. Giving nasties in colors, a native m43 lens would not. Actually it is not that great to hear that, if you know what I mean MD to FD would be very nice indeed for now, using my cheapo FD RJbooster with that beautiful 35mm 1.8 you had recommended to me!

Hallo, I know I could google in an instant what flange and mounts go along. Question is of the practical side though. I´m asking for your pratical experience about the right mount for a speedbooster to use other cheepo adapters on. So I put lenses of different mounts on one and the same speedbooster. F.i. with an EF booster I could adapt Nikon lenses, M42s are adaptable on FD. I would love to find a solution to mount FD, Minolta and Pentax on the same focal reducer. Didnt find a no hassles way to adapt FDs to an EF mount, fi. What are your experiences with an one 4 all mounting solution? Thanks and cheers, Marty

Hey @mercer! These are some luscious greens! BTW went for bidding on that Minolta 35mm 1.8 you recommended. Went away for 160 USD. Seems a great choice. With the hoola hoop artist, I call her that, it was a documentary opportunity, so no follow up footage on that:) But gonna post some Panny G6 grading b4 and after to get some more feedback on Panasonic 8bit colors. cheers

Hey Tupp, oh boy, seems like you´re right. Just got started with the practical ways of lighting, not just making up my mind about theory. Don´t even know right now, where the heat sink is of that light. It´s a so called red head. Maybe gonna post a screenshot or footage soon. Thanks for sharing! cheers Hey Merce!:) So GX is even better in the shadows than G7? That´s something I would most certainly love to believe! Great news. What do you mean exposing for the center? I most the time expose for the mids. Going close with the cam and metering with my cam. Time to get a lightmeter, sekonic or something. Did some lighting last week for comparing G6 and 600D. If G7 and GX80 really mean a quantum leap in the shadows compared to G6 would be awesome. For the comparision I must realise that 600D had more dynamic range than G6 regarding to our maybe faulty setup. Maybe it is the lens, FD 50mm 1.4 on G6 VS Contax Zeiss 50mm 1.4. I held a Oly EM10ii with additional grip in my hand a few days ago. When doing street photography I approached another guy running around with that beauty. Felt awesome in the hand. GX85 in the stores didnt feel too great. Googled for a grip. Found this: J.B. Wood Grip. Looks like a nice addtion for the GX85.

Would still love to see a comparision between GX85 and G7 for lowlight and some shadows free of artefacts. My G6 isn´nt the best performer shadow wise, otherwise beautiful cam. A friend of mine and me did a lighting setup, kinda @andy lee style with beautiful gels, Orange Glow and Deep Blue, two 850w tungsten and one LED. We compared her 600D and my G6. Canon color is still something, even when lit. But loving my G6. Starting to really love black wrap, flags and gels. Great stuff for filming with the lower end bunch of cams. Very exited about the promises of Gx85 or G7 or XC10 or veterans such as F3 and such. So again: -GX85 vs G7 shadows would be great, hey throw in some G6 to show the generation gap and for the fun!:) -Also, dual recording confirmation about internal and external recording please for the GX85. -Another one, is there a grip for extending the height of the grip on the GX85? In the store it felt way too short for me. Met a guy with a Oly EM10ii last week with a beautiful extended grip. Awesome handling, really beautiful! Here is a light from our setup to keep my post a little more interesting. I think BTS is a great thing on this forum, so maybe some lumix and canon faces next time. EDIT: This bad mother or bad boy looks really funky!:)

So, Dali´s mustache anybody? Anybody has it? Liam, did you get your hands on it? Nobody seems to be interested enough to participate in the discussion. I think this looks like a beautiful oddity of software! With benefit for smaller and older hardware and laptops. And, it´s free. The inofficial name "Dali´s mustache" couldn´t be any cooler! Common people, let´s get the odd gem mining started!!

Moderators such as Andy Lee had the right timing and words for moderation up their sleeves. It´s back to sanity thanks to all of you. What more can one say and assume. It has all been said in that super long thread for that matter. It´s all back to sanity. And maybe I am not the only exited soul around here, eager to read about your filming journey, also some techy stuff about the XC10, if that is not too geeky though:) About Italy, your experiences over there, everything! Would be just great!

Hey, why don´t you post it in the classic EOSHD GuessTheCamera fashion in a separate thread. It´s totally worth it! Hope your camera history won´t be spoiling the guessing pleasure though:)

Yeah, Andrew, cannot wait to see the footage! Awesome! XC10 shown an "organic" image in the promotion footage with granddaddy chasing streetrobbers. "..Color-path, codec, nailed to perfection.." sounds so cool. Forum contributor Mercer seems to have healed his GAS with the XC10- we will see:=) Really exited to be on your awesome community! To people thirsty for some more inspiration, just check out this cool EOSHD thread:

Very cool. Then we can grow Dali´s mustaches doing night shifts with grading:) I mean the UI really looks too nice!

Seems interesting, really interesting. No need for cuda, running on weaker systems. Grain can be applied. From what I just read it was also available under the name Dali´s mustache. Now it really is getting interesting. I want my Dali´s mustache!

Hey Liam, Didn´t know there was a tool from Cliptoolz named Color.This tool looks too interesting to not to try it out. Haven´t found any working link to it though. Maybe we should keep this thread alive.

Hey Liam, sent you a PM. cheers

Hey Liam, Cliptoolz is available for download in version 3.0. Version 2.0 used to be for free but is now only available with limited functions.

THIS! is a very hard shot to grade. The examples on this thread show great dedication and good results. But I would say, this is not going to show any color magic. Shot in CineD with further adjustments? I choose a homogenous color palette for a logical balance of tones, to unify different tones and to tame strongly saturated videoish tones, such as from the yellow sign or the red shirt. But still keeping the skincolor logic and plausible within the overall greenish tint.

I meant the newest Shogun update, enabling the Atomos Shogun to take a 12 bit 444 signal and record it:)

With HFR I meant from 60p up to HFR heaven:) You´re right, for a specific F3 solution Odyssey sounds overkill, except from the 444 as Ironfilm stated. Shogun and F3 for 444 is a combination to be tested by camera tech experts, if the 444 makes it into the F3. Other than that Blade or BMD sound good, if I had to estimate by my internet infos:) Absolutely. Would be interesting to know if Shogun gives a 444 out to the F3. So far with its newest update it is 12bit Raw for fs700, fs7, c500 and such. Thanks for pointing BMD and Blade out for having SDI. Some knowledge I already took a chance of sharing in my reply to Jax_rox

SDI and HFR up to 240fps. Atomos Shogun has HFR up to 60fps plus SDI plus 12bit 444 RAW with its newest free! update.
