Looks great. You've exposed it perfectly in my view. A lot of people tend to overexpose these days I find, which doesn't work well with this lut.

That lens looks very tasty - I'm sure you've been asked this before but what is it?

I'm also interested in your views on the Simmod VND. It had a bit of hype a while ago, but after I researched it all the positive views seemed to be coming from youtube vloggers who'd been given it for free (and I've learned to take youtuber reviews with a large pich of salt).

There are hardly any reviews or perspectives from real users. Is it good? Any colour casts, black crosses?

Thanks, I used a leica 50mm-r summicron and kowa b&h.

The Simmod seems pretty decent, I got one really cheap second hand though.It definitely has a greenish cast but using the wb tint adjustment in cam you can dial this out. I was using a tiffen variable nd before and the Simmod seems so much better.

Wanted to try out my new Simmod variable nd for times I dont want to keep changing my firecrest Nd's.

Seems to work pretty well after messing with the WB shift in camera to get rid of the green tint. Im starting to love using the GH5 with this Lut. I'v never had a camera produce such great colours with minimal effort.

Are you on the newest firmware? That looks somewhat similar to the artifacting that was happening before the fix. 

Regardless of the FW, there's definitely going to be aliasing happening at 240, especially on vehicles and buildings. 120 seems better. Bummer there's no middle ground.

 

Ye I updated yesterday to version 1.11

I was expecting aliasing but this is so noticeable and could easily ruin footage in a professional environment.

Hopefully the raw update will improve this problem as on my fs7 180fps looks quite a bit better.

thought id post in this topic instead of starting a new one.

I was testing the fs5 with ronin-m ealier today using 240fps and once i got home a looked at the footage on my computer noticed quite a lots of artefacts in the footage.

I know you get more aliasing and moire in s&q mode but this looks pretty bad.

I uploaded the clip straight from the card onto vimeo so if you want you can download to see it more clearly. Fast foward to around 22 seconds and on the cars lights and rear left you can see some wierd blue blocky artifacts.

Is this normal for 240fps slomo?

Brilliant thanks for the reply, i appreciate it.

The pro res issue was more to do with not being able to export from premiere as a lot of stuff I work on clients ask for a master file as prores.

The power supply I was planning on getting was Seasonic Platinum 760W but if you think ill need the extra ill maybe look into P-1050XP3 1050W.

As for the box i was planning on having the Fractal Design Define R4 which seems to have ok reviews.

Ill also now look into a custom heatsink and fan as well.

Thanks again for your help.

I'v had a search for anything similar but couldn't find much so thought id see if I could get some advice.

I'v been saving up wanting to buy an 8core mac pro maxed out but after talking to a friend recently, I was advised not to purchase one now as its old tech and due for an update (possibly)

I then looked at a maxed out i7 imac 5k but wasn't sure if its ideal for what I'm currently working with.

So in the end started looking into getting a custom built pc, which seems so much cheaper and better value for money.

I own and shoot on an FS7, always shoot internally and use adobe premiere cc as well Resolve for colour grading.

This is the spec of the machine I'm interested in:

• Asus X99-A with USB3.1, Intel X99, S 2011-3, DDR4, SATA III 6Gb/s, SATA RAID, PCIe 3.0 
• Intel Core i7 5960X Extreme Unlocked, Haswell-E, 8 Core, 3.0GHz, 3.5GHz Turbo, 40PCI-E Lanes, 20MB Cache - Overclocked up to 4.0GHz
• 64GB (8x8GB) Corsair DDR4 Vengeance LPX, 2400MHz
• 12GB PNY GTX Titan X, 1000MHz GPU, 3072 Cores, 7010MHz GDDR5
• operating drive: 120GB Intel SSD 535 Series, SATA 6Gb/s,
• Media Cache and Previews Drive: 256GB Samsung SM951, M.2 (22x80) PCIe 3.0
• Project drive: 1.2TB Intel 750 PCI-E SSD.
• Storage Drive:2TB Western Digital Black, SATA 6Gb/s, 7200rpm, 64MB Cache
• Thunderbolt storage: ASUS ThunderboltEX II/DUAL PCI-e 2 Port Thunderbolt2 - 2 Ports DisplayPort IN

Total Cost including VAT = £3763.14

With this setup is there anything anyone could advise me on swapping or adding and also if it should be able to cope with 4k footage smoothly within the programs I mentioned.

I'v used Mac for the last 7 years so am pretty clueless with how thing have progressed with Windows. A lot of people I work with all use Mac and this is my biggest concern about being able to work between both platforms if needed. I'v read into the pro res issues but also saw there are ways around it but if there were any other factors you guys have come across first hand it would be a great help with my final decision. Iv read a few things about making a hackintosh but i think for the time being i would just want to use Windows for stability/upgrade issues mainly.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
