I'm a bit confused about the apparent incredulity of Sony releasing an 8K camera sooner rather than later as well. We have already had this video on here before but here is an interview from the BBC with a Sony Senior Manager at Photokina where he clearly states that they already have it but will just decide the timing for the customer. And the little smirk at the end of the interview doesn't exactly hint at this 'correct timing' being several years away. (Ignore the hero frame, the link will start the video at the start of the interview. BTW If you haven't seen this video before it is worth rewinding it to about 4:06 to watch Canon's European Vice President being somewhat disarmed by the direct questioning of the BBC journalist)

They refer to as "Non-CPU Lens Data" and its found in Menu>SETUP This will let you profile the lens for the camera to understand for IBIS etc Obviously, you also have to be in Manual mode for the shutter release to work.

All that is, is a brief summary of the official Photokina announcement. https://news.panasonic.co.uk/panasonic-lumix-announces-development-of-its-first-full-frame-mirrorless-cameras/ Sorry but you'll have to forgive me a wry smile here. For someone who was saying this thread was going nowhere, I do have to applaud your contribution in taking it somewhere. Well, back in time by 2 months and 10 pages does count as taking it somewhere I guess

I posted this in the other thread but it was probably more appropriate here. -------- If you are looking for a used bargain then MPB have a 10% off promotion on all of their lens stock. https://www.mpb.com/en-uk/used-equipment/used-photo-and-video/used-lenses/

I can't recommend it yet (as I am still contemplating buying it ) but just for completeness, one lens that might be interesting for you is the Handevision IBERIT 75mm f/2.4 in Leica M mount. Nope, I'd never heard of them either. Here is a review and some sample images from a German reviewer using it on a Leica M10. Google translate has mangled it a bit but you can get the gist. https://translate.google.co.uk/translate?hl=en&sl=de&tl=en&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.qimago.de%2Fdas-handevision-iberit-75mm-f2-4-fuer-leica-m%2F There are also some other images from a quick LeicaRumours test and these back up the lower contrast look (certainly against the Voigtlander) that the reviewer was referring to, which is not such a bad thing in my view if you are using it for video. https://leicarumors.com/2017/03/19/quick-hands-on-review-of-the-handevision-iberit-lenses-on-a-leica-m10-camera.aspx/ There are a couple of reviews on the Adorama site where they are currently selling it for a much lower price ($379) than €600 the reviewer was basing his review on https://www.adorama.com/kal7524lcmb.html As I say, I can't recommend it as I haven't used one personally but if I can find one in Europe at the price that Adorama are selling them for then I almost certainly will be.

Yeah but isn't that sort of someone else's post you should have been quoting

Its asking me to log in What is it? EDIT>>> I've just put "WEIP" (which is the brand of the connector) into the search bar at aliexpress and its returned a lot of products featuring ladies who presumably must be riding horses. In their lingerie. EDIT 2>>> If it is this product though, then I think its a winner. This is exactly what I'm going to use my cable kit for as I already have a few of the battery mounts that are included in this kit. The curly version of the cable is actually a better solution too.

I mentioned a few weeks ago that I was pretty close to just hacking off the connector from the mains supply if BM didn't get a move on with their cable kit and it looks like he ran out of patience before I did ! Thankfully my real cable kit is coming in a few days so I don't have to do it. If anyone is interested in making their own custom cables - which might be a bit neater for some solutions as the official ones are 65cm long - then these are the connectors (make sure you order the 2 pin version obviously ) https://weipuconnector.en.alibaba.com/product/60735848587-806276836/IP67_Industrial_Push_pull_Metal_connector_male_SF1610_Weipu_connector_electrical_connector_metal_plugs.html

CVP have actually got the semi mythical official cable set in (limited) stock https://cvp.com/product/blackmagic-bmd-cable-ccpoc4k-dc-cable-pack

Does it make a difference balance wise if you use the dummy battery/external power pack option @Anaconda_ ?

Oooohh we can get a new episode out of that.

Maybe they could offer the transmission box as an add on for the Weebill. They'd certainly get a few takers considering how expensive standalone ones are.

And Mel Brooks can make a film about it

In all fairness, they do need to be far more specific about that functionality. Even in the Newsshooter review they talk about other cameras being supported in the future but they should be explicit about the situation regarding the Pocket 4K specifically but other cameras in general.

Its very informative that Canon have a relationship with a site like that and then get their knickers in a twist with them about mention of Magic Lantern. So they'll happily contribute to the creation of speculation and fake news about their own products in order to keep people on the hook but actively discourage the awareness of actual facts about enhancing ones you may already own. Honestly, them having any sort of relationship with a rumour site is a pretty sad indictment of the way things are with regard to the chicanery of the camera business. If you can't even trust the sites that are actually set up for making shit up to actually make that shit up in an unbiased way then he game has gone!

My reading of it is that their app is a roll your own version of the Sony and Panasonic apps that can stream over wifi, hence why its only models from those two that are supported as its fairly easy to invoke and tap into their streams. On the upside, it also means if it works with Panasonic then it also works with Leica They could do the same for Nikon and Canon and Fuji (although your record quality would then drop to 720p as is the way with Fuji when you want to operate them over wifi). Pocket 4K obviously lacks the wifi capability so would need a different solution. The external control of the Pocket 4K is also over Bluetooth LE so would again need a different solution.
