And not much more for the adapter cable and NP battery mount to make the zoom powered. I think all of us who've put a B4 lens on an MFT camera have to tip the hat and acknowledge that we never went for it to quite the same extent as this guy https://youtu.be/E-baLc-POBM

For completeness, the same sums cropping an image of the Sigma 18-35mm on an XL There is still a small amount of vignette but reduced from the Nikon

I think my sums are right so this is what it would look like on an XL, so, yes, it would run out of road in the corners. Verus a 0.7 Speedbooster which would be OK. Which, admittedly, isn't much of a help if you've got the XL

This is it on a full frame camera (D700) You could probably simulate it with a crop in photoshop with the right dimensions of the XL to check.

If you want to be similar on the wide end to the Sigma but with some more reach (though not as much as a 70mm) then Nikon 17-55mm f2.8 might be worth a look for you. It is constant aperture so you won't be losing as much on the longer end as the other options and it is a very fine lens indeed. Used examples are generally around £400 so it won't break the bank either.

The Nikon 16-80 is one of their newer E type electronic aperture control lenses so you won't be able to control the aperture with the speedbooster or any other adapter that uses mechanical linkage to operate the diaphragm blades. Its OK if you want to shoot wide open I suppose but unfortunately with it not being a constant aperture its even more problematic.

Apologies to anyone I may have inadvertently alarmed. I have absolutely no new information about any announcement or development that will unduly impact any purchasing decision anyone may have over this camera. I have simply decided it is no longer suitable for the purposes for which I, personally, had intended to use it.

I've got no issue with lashing together a battery solution and there are enough CFast to SSD converter options out there now to sort that out fairly inexpensively. I'm going to swap pre-orders with a mate of mine where I have it for the first two weeks so I can test it with my controller and then hand it over and take his place in line to give me some pause to see how it shakes out but also what happens at Fotokina. I've obviously got a big investment in Nikon glass for work so I need to see what if anything they come up with in Cologne and how soon it will be available. I don't necessarily think its nailed on that they are going to have a load of issues but I'm way too far behind with all my other projects to get involved in the hand wringing and witch hunts about them if there are

Full resolution off the green layer and 1/4 off the other two. It was always going to be something where the processing grunt would come round to meet it one day and it looks like they may be short circuiting it as well to get a foundation at least. Yep, I always enjoy reading them. He's really committed to Foveon because he firmly believes its the best path maybe not today but further down the line. I would love that path to have a little branch off to video land

I picked up a 35mm Mamiya f3.5 a few weeks ago and looking to get the 150mm or 210mm later this week when I'm in London. I have a Nikon adapter for them so then its a case of then putting them on the speebooster of choice to get them on the other systems. They are not as big physically as you'd imagine and they are a lot of lens for the money.

I think the interesting path left would be an established 3rd party lens company like Sigma, Tokina or Tamron doing anamorphics. The CEO of Sigma said they'd look at it if the demand was there after they launched their cine lenses. https://www.provideocoalition.com/sigma-may-develop-anamorphic-lenses/ The salient point being the if the demand was there part. Sigma could really be disruptive if they had a mind to. They filed a patent last year that seems to suggest they have a method of making a Foveon based video camera https://hi-lows-note.blog.so-net.ne.jp/2017-11-24 Going by my SD Quattro, they've got enough room on their SA mount to put an electronic variable ND in it (in point of fact there is enough room in there for a regular variable ND and a small child to operate it for you). They obviously know enough about all manufacturers lens mounts to build adapters to it as well. Add in their own anamorphics and with no internal consumer/professional segmentation to protect.... They could do some interesting stuff.

I struggle with 1 at my disposal let alone 20148 so it would just mean my code crashed quicker so it would still be a timesaver !

I don't actually need it until 2019 and even then it might not actually be the right fit for what I'm going to be doing. Fotokina may also have given me pause for thought. Plus, I can see it potentially being a time drain during the early months and I would rather observe that from the sidelines.

Yes.

I'm going to cancel my pre-order today.

The 4K When I had a quick demo of it they were saying it was "around 1.75" and the KineEnhancer mount would take it to "around 1.4". Seems that info was a bit rough as I've just seen it specced as 1.85 and 1.3 respectively. What confuses me then is why the UK distributor sells what they refer to as a "Full Frame Package". https://www.proav.co.uk/kinefinity-terra-4k-ef-full-frame-package#specification

Its just doing the stuff from the original thread in a nicer skin with more refinement and some extra features so there are some videos in there. I could probably do with updating the most recent thread with a small video update so I'll get round to that in a few weeks. I haven't measured it but its never been something I've needed to as whatever latency there is certainly doesn't present itself obviously enough to be a concern when you are operating it.

Thought to myself "I'll just pop in to the BMPCC4K thread and ask about the crop factor versus the Kinefinity..."

That is exactly the sort of customer we like

Ah, I see what you were getting at now. Its the same deal in essence with a thunderbolt controller and graphics card but, yes, they are getting the smaller footprint from using the MXM module. You could argue that conceptually they've just chopped a smaller desktop case in half that has an external power supply The smaller footprint is useful if you are going to be moving about but without access to AC power it becomes a bit moot I suppose if you are looking at truly mobile editing.

Its a newer version of one that has been available for a while for Ursa. Blackmagic are always very open about protocols for controlling their products. Still needs an example of the new camera to test it with though so it will be a little while yet. My controller has Bluetooth 4.0 to enable it to support BMPC4K as well as the wifi for Panasonic/Sony. Those supposedly smart folks should have no problem making one as even the decidedly not that smart folks like me should probably be able to accomplish it

The ND filter is just an additional add on to the main controller though. The controller does remote focus with 8 stored points with dedicated keys for recall at 4 different transition speeds or manually controlled with a joystick. All wireless to the camera so it will work on any gimbal with the GH5 or any other Panasonic camera. The only reason it isn't ready to buy today is that I'm waiting for the Pocket 4K to port it to that so people can use it on multiple different cameras. I've got a way of adapting a traditional wheel and its eminently doable at a reasonable-ish price but I suppose the question is how much would you actually pay for something like that?

It's the whole keyboard and trackpad so it's likely going to be a dodgy trackpad cable as a fault with that causes both not to be recognised. Well I hope it is because that's a £10 part and a 1 hour labour charge at an independent service place! That's what the Aorus box is in my link, although technically you could change the card later if you wanted to. You could edit on the plane/train/bus using proxies and then plug in the eGPU for rendering though.

The good thing about Resolve is the network rendering though so we can still put these older machines and eGPUs to work rendering in the background while we are working on our fancy new MacBook 2021 Titanium Wafer laptops
