It looks like finally we will have 4k on a medium budget FF Canon camera but there's a lot of people still complaining about specs specs specs...and nobody is wondering about things like dinamic range..? Yeah who cares cares about tthat! All we need is more k's more fps more specs specs specs...
It's clear, Canon won't never fit "our" SPECtations

I just wanted to throw in my two cents of experience with Andrew's Log Converter.
I've shot a couple of little jobs with it and it's been absolutely great for me. I transcode my footage to Prores with the LUT applied, and in the latest version of Premiere I use Premiere's 1DC input LUT in the Basic panel (made by the SpeedLooks guys), and choose one of the built in LUTs (I like the Clean Punch HDR) in the Creative panel. That gets me rich, punchy colours, and great skin tones -- really, cleaning up skin tones is by far the best bit about the Log Converter.
The other thing I like about the Log Converter is that I can shoot a pretty contrasty look in camera (using Andrew's in camera settings), so I get a good sense of what I'm looking at. I find it difficult to get the mojo going looking a flat flat images, and I love that I can see a punchy image on camera and know that I have a reasonable amount of flexibility in post.
Below is a screenshot from a job where I used those settings (her skin is a bit red because she had red brick walls on both sides of her).
Of course, Your Mileage May Vary, but for me it's a total winner. Thanks Andrew!
Nice capture. It still looks a bit red to my eyes.. but difficult to judge if there were red brick walls around her.
I just wanted to update you with my expierence. Althought I have to confess that I expected a little bit more support from Andrew (sorry but true!), the Log Lut Converter make it's job, as long as I've been using it for a couple of works since I bought it, and my GH4 footage matches very well now with my Canon 5D MkIII footage
after a little bit of adjustment to avoid this red/magenta dominants. So, althought it is not ready out of the box (in my opinion!) it has proved to be very usefull for me!Excuse me one more time for my poor english..
Cheers everybody!

GH4 V-Log $99
In: Cameras
Any word on which metabones adapter to use? Atomos just came out with a Ninja Assassin – New 4K HDMI Recorder for $1,295 it does 10Bit 4:2:2 will that pair up nicely with the GH4?
The XL 0.64 works just fantastic with my GH4. I tested it with Sigma 18-35 f1.8, Canon 50 f1.4 and Canon 70-200L II with no issues at all. Very good investment!!

After reading this thread I started playing around with converter LUTs and film stock (not Andrew's but from Visioncolor) and to my surprise I got some interesting results. What do you guys think?
(I played around with the opacity/intensity of both the converter LUT and film stock LUT to get a desired result. This might help dial down the unwanted magenta you guys seam to have)
I aprreciate you took some time to play with this clip and try to fix this magenta issue, but I was more looking for a general solution..
In any case with no feedback from Andrew.. and V-LOG finally coming to our GH4's this might be a bit irrelevant now..?

Hi Andrew and everyone else!
I've been following you for a while and I really like your work. Where of I have decided to buy this Log Converter Lut.
Congratulations, beacuse the Lut looks very promising.. However, I have to agree with the ones who are claiming that the result looks a bit magenta/red straight from the workflow that you indicates in the pdf.
I'm skipping the transcoding process so I'm applying the Input Log with Lumetri in Premiere and then Filmconvert Canon 1-DC Log Lut.
I have attached some samples: 1-straigh from the camera (using Cine V and the other tips you recommend in your guide); 2-After lumetri input log; 3-After Filmconvert Canon 1DC (KD 5207 Vis3 film settings, without any other changes than setting filmgrain to zero).
I just wanted to show those to you guys in order to get light on this, maybe we need to apply some other workflows or is it the Lut that would need some corrections?
Apologise for my poor English!
The guide talks about cc15 input/output but on CC14 I'm assuming you drag & drop the "converter" as a lumetri effect to flatten the image first? This resulted in heavy contrast & strong magenta after I added the output lut. My colors looked similar to xrayspecs. Flipping them seemed to correct it.. so in CC14 you drag & drop the output first and then the converter lut? Weird. I skipped the transcoding below and rushed into Premiere with an Arri lut first and then added the converter. Honey Smacks. noms
This looks simply amazing!! So please could you please give more details, like how do you apply this Arri Lut first, and which one,... Thanks!

At a quarter of a million dollars, is this the lens pros have been waiting for?
