I used to program  million dollar cnc machines years ago. What a boring ass way to spend a day, but it paid well as long as you maintained your sanity. Probably what is wrong with me today!

I sort of hated it to be honest. Went to college to have a job that was repetitive as hell. Didn't do it long.

I like the video a lot but with a grade like that you can get that look with a 75 dollar Panasonic GH1.

That sort of looks like the stuff I like you shoot Marty.

I always laugh when they want you to buy a 2500 dollar camera and they show the results using 100,000 dollars of shit and a crew of 10 to get the shot.

My Sony VG30. It was good but not great sad to say.

The FS6 with the ability to set the electronic ND filter on auto is a total game changer for run n gun I think.

First picture taken with the 300mm. Exciting isn't it. That thing is about half a block away lol.

Picture with the Panny 14-140mm kit lens.

Well, here is a picture of the beast rig.

cool that's cool.

Yeah, Cleff has been doing tests on DPR for a Long time. I find his stuff more accurate in real life than DXO's. Cine D's DR test of video cameras are way more accurate than what the company's spew out.  Like Red's 20 stops bullshit.

That is super clean video, the whites are white, the black print is black...eh well eh... 😵

2000 nits yikes, I think the highest phone is the Apple 13 pro Max at like 1050 nits, I think the Samsung S22 Ultra is about the same also. The Sony's are around 500 nits. 

One bad thing about the Xperia's is that they get hotter than heck when recording.

Yeah but the Xperia has a 10 bit screen that is calibrated to the Sony Trimaster line, it is a heck of a lot cheaper than they are lol.

But I don't think DXO measures Video DR, just Photo DR.

No expert on the subject but from what I have seen most cameras are worse in video than photo DR wise. You have to figure most photo stuff is 12, 14, even 16bit raw. So that gives it an edge over video. Now maybe in HDR video but that has to be in 10bit a least.

If the photo DR is this low I hate to see the Video side of it.

Most of those people are probably dead by now.

Well, The Sony Xperia Pro 5G has a HDMI port in it, and an Apple 13 Pro has ProRes in it. So, it is not like they can't or won't be able do it.

Found this site for info on FD lenses. The 28mm f 2.8 one I have is Not the SSC one, hmm it is the New FD one.

Yeah, unfortunately the GH4 was an odd duck. I never owned one, the colors were funky and well it just looked rushed to market to me. I had a G7 I think at the time, and I really liked it too well to give up for a GH4. 

The GH5 was a massive improvement, but it took a Long time for it to come out. The GH6 is the same way time wise, but I have not been super impressed with it either, it just seems like most of the people that have it don't publish much about it, just the normal talking heads seem to review it on YouTube, and even then don't get much into how good or bad it is. Odd for sure.

Here comes the FERARRI

(still didn't find out how to insert U2B video straight into post😅

Right click and use as Plain Text.

Maybe this one from the same guy above helps on a decision with the GH6. More focused on it no pun lol.

The one big problem with color output is that men and women see colors differently, and there are more people than you think that are color blind, mostly men, I think. So, I would guess other than brightness levels B&W would be seen on an equal footing by the vast majority of people the same.

I think colors have an effect on perceived sharpness. Back in the film days it seemed to me that no color film could be as sharp as B&W was. Slide film seemed the sharpest, and B&W still beat that when exposed perfectly, same way with slide film.

This new to me Canon FD 300L 2.8 lens was touted as the sharpest lens in the world back in the day. Will be interesting to see if that is true if the damn thing works lol.
