Just picked up a Canon FD 24mm F1.4L and 85mm F1.2L also FD at Foto Mayer in Berlin!

Have put them on the Zhongyi Turbo II for the full frame look.

They are CREAMY and great manual focus. Aperture ring and hard stops unlike EF lenses.

What a pair of bros...

Click the shots to see sharpness (forum compresses to hell the inline previews)

24mm "Jerry":

85mm "Zowie":

Those shots were all with the Zhongyi Turbo II (150 bucks)

Please make some video files available for download. Thank you!

Not the Fuji version no. But I have used other Kipon models and where happy with them. I will hopefully be able to give info on it next week, expected delivery on Tuesday. But I don't set my clock after ebay shipping estimates if you know what I mean.

Which camera do you use for test Kipon speed booster adapter?

I would but it depends on the cost compared to Kipons AF Speedbooster.

 

I have seen some comparison tests of the Kipon speedbooster and honestly I was very disappointed because of the low quality of the glass and the considerable loss of details.
Have you personally tested it?

It is possible that I can build the smart speedbooster to make X-T3 camera Full frame with Canon lens.
How many are interested in pre-order on crowdfunding?

Fujisung NX2?
Today it is possible to assume that, Samsung has closed the camera department because of the few sales related to its brand not fully associated with the professional camera industry.
Today it is paradoxical to think that the sales success of the Fuji or Panasonic cameras may be due to the Samsung sensor brand preferred by professionals in the sector to that of Sony.
At this point I ask someone to tell Fuji to add the Samsung DR picture profile to the X-T3 camera of which I and many Samsung users are very satisfied.

I swear I clicked on an x-t3 thread

The combination is inevitable, many Samsung NX1 owners are waiting for the new horse to jump on!
 

Once the initial euphoria has ended, now we must return to reality.
The Fuji x-t3 is a great camera and deserves to be supported for the courage and audacity that Fuji is proving but, if he had videos with presentations like this would have sold already ten thousand pre-orders.
I'm sorry but the Samsung NX1 still remains the best aps-c camera system for both video and still images.

Huh, l'ho trovato troppo tonico - probabilmente a causa del grading taste - fino al livello che mi sembra come una chiarezza perdente e ottenere più di un tipico "look" della precedente serie Sony A7?

Exactly. in this video I worked the movie as a s-log 2, clearly it's just a test done in 5 minutes on the entire editing, (nothing professional for a hyper-compressed movie downloaded from youtube) I just pushed hard with the tones to make the artifacts but the shot held up well.
In this second and short test instead, I worked a small scene as if it were a red camera movie and the result is much more natural, especially in skin tones.
After that I will not waste any more time on junk files, wait to find the original files or shoot with my camera as soon as it is available for purchase.

like say @deezid, can work the F-log like the Red camera files, the result is very similar.

I am really happy for Fujifilm, they are believing in their products, this is very encouraging for those who have to invest money on the future.
Let's not forget that it has an uninterrupted raw burst mode up to 30fps with a sensor cutout 1.25.
I will never buy Canon again because of their anti-user policy.
The Fujifilm has geared the right gear, we must support the builders who invest in innovation by moving the bar of the level and pushing the other brands to give more.
I will buy this camera without thinking twice and I will avoid the banal and obvious colors of Sony six-monthly cameras.

A larger sensor? Ah well, guess that means my Samsung lenses will remain worthless :-/ 

Couldn't our fastest SD cards today do 6K H.265?

Even with a Full Frame sensor, they will certainly have the crop aps-c option.
But I'm pretty sure they will keep the X-mount system.

What were your camera settings for this footage? i.e. saturation, gamma dr, master black levels etc? What lens? Also did you convert file to another format for editing or did you use raw h.265 file?

To get the maximum bitrate do you have to use a very fast SD card, Manual mode, disable all automatisms, disable audio recording and use manual lenses.

No Dslr Canon, Nikon, Sony, Panasonic or others can make me feel the emotions of the Samsung NX1.
The Samsung should continue to produce their camera even without economic profit and only the camera body with lens mount Canon, Nikon, or other just to tell camera manufacturers and users "we exist and we are the best".

I've done some tests today. The camera was set to UHD, 25p, Gamma DR, -5 contrast, -7 sharpness, 16-235, sRGB. I compared different ISOs with and without RGB set to max (1.99). 

 

So what I found out:

All RGB channels at 1.99 increase exposure by 1 stop (or very, very close to it);

Therefore ISO 1600 with RGB at 1.99, is the same exposure as ISO 3200 with RGB at 1;

It positively affects the inbuilt noise reduction. Seems like the NR really is triggered by ISO value and not the actual sensor gain;

It doesn't have any visible gains in highlights.

 

Here's the test. The password is - rgb .

Here you can download the edited test file, if you would like to take a closer look - https://failiem.lv/u/xvgh44ks

 

Can you repeat the test with exposure compensation?

@Andrew Reid finally a nice real tricky! Color boost increase the ISO 1 step more (near 2 lens stop more), work in DR profile to!

Nice job! RGB or sRGB it's same?

To recap:

- A guy says that from 7 months he shoots NX1 Raw video with his Hack.

- the guy in question in these 7 months has never published a video shot in Raw on Youtube or Vimeo...

- at some point he declares that he will give proof of his statements, but not before the day "April 1" because he is German and has too many commitments with study, but he loses more time to answer many messages in English better than mine, rather that upload dng file he has on his computer for 7 months.

- after 2 improvable jpg images published, I ask to block the charlatan but I am called a cyberbully.

- the guy responds to my provocation and declares that he will publish the evidence to show that I'm wrong.

- no proof is published.

- I raise the stakes and I promise a NXL as a gift in exchange for irrefutable proof.

- the guy reappears and promises again that he will publish the tests after 24 hours.-

- for the second time no proof is published.

- in the private mail of the owner of the site arrives an email that promises again that will send evidence but that for 3 days without explaining why he can not respond to messages (no smartphone in the pocket of an experienced programmer?).

- the owner declares to block the guy from the playful and disrespectful behavior of the common sense and the rules of the forum.

- during all this time, a man with a cat on his back, one with a horse face, a man with a name like tax code and some other poor naive attacked me and defended the guy from the many promises but from the no proof and no tests and pray desperately the owner of the site to wait to receive a file full of shit for 1 April breakfast!

Why me?

And why today?

 

And why can not you simple wait for a few days? A few days ... 

Does your wife have such a stress with you before Christmas too?  

You only have to wait till tomorrow in the late evening (23:59:59) and then you can: rightfully scold Arikhan or officially apologize here in the forum.

 

Arikhan wrote March 15.:

"Im have good news for you: I just shot RAW video with the NX1...RAW VIDEO in 25p - nice workflow with 25 DNGs per second. Just an unbelievable quality (in my eyes). Problem: I'm just writing my graduation exams...after that I'll download the footage (DNG images) and describe the methodology. It's quite special but it's great for my purposes. With the 60mm 2.8 at F6 an unbelievable detail and sharpness. It's quite exciting..."

and then:

"I mean, I can now shoot video in RAW format with the NX1. Uncompressed."

"Internal. Next Monday a friend of mine will shoot exactly the same scene with a 8K RED, edit the footage on a 4K timeline and then...we will compare: NX1 4K RAW vs RED RAW... I am very curious..."

"Yeah...I am very excited...Working on this for 7 months now... After exams I will have the time to do a usable workflow description and HowTo. I hope, it will be useful for the community. BTW: I think, @BTM_Pix will like it too, this guy is unbelievable in fiddling with electronics... "

"I have economy exam on Wednesday."

"But for now...I'm fighting with Keynesian & Marxian economics, globalization BS, European integration and so on for my exam tomorrow. Not funny at all..."

"Last post now: I see, there are many questions and much to explain. My programming skills also seem to be better than my technical explanations. But one of the forum members offered me help and it would be better letting him to help me. It's not simple to explain technical stuff I'm involved with to other people. I wrote many assumptions/questions of forum members down, so I can answer them accurately after exams and after posting some examples, so people could see, what we talk about. "Abstract talk" only can get stodgy sometimes..."

"Here is a screenshot from an early release. UHD | 25fps | 1/50 | Manual WB (blue hour like human eye sees it) | Zeiss O 28mm 1.4 at F7.1 | edit in post: slight WB correction | File edited with Premiere CC | Workflow recommended by @Mattias Burling --> here <--"

"Andrew, just give me some time to work on this...I tried to explain a few things and got provoked and insulted - because people probably not understandung what I mean. I'd like to share the work first...Above this, there are some serious legal aspects to consider - and there is no answer yet from a lawyer society specialized in this issues... When this is done, I will share the RAW footage for evaluation. Please consider, I am a one man band when working on this - and got a live with many friends, family, sports, shootings, etc. After university-entrance diploma examinations, I will have some more time to spend on it. Be assured, I'll share my results here. BTW: Zero interest in financial compensation when working on this.

 

My friend right now I am in a 5 star luxury hotel to drink chapagne and eat caviar, my wife is here with me and she also tells me to be very happy and relaxed.

ps. The nx1 raw fools it' the last of my thoughts!

And I thought you do not want to provoke today ...

And I thought you want to admit that raw is a fake today...

@Arikhan you're making a very bad impression! Do not make promises you can not keep ...

To all those who agree with him I say this:

There are people who believe that the earth is flat, ok if you are willing to believe this without any proof, despite the evidence shows the opposite, ok you are free, but the problem is yours.

on the 1st, he is going to upload the hack. We will install it, only to find when we turn the camera back on, it is playing a rick astley video on loop. 

This is me waiting for the raw video file...
