Do you have those clips that I did with it?
Because I’m fucked if I can find them anywhere !
I’ve got some frame grabs from them (with the base then the different ARRI LUTs applied) when I was moaning on here about the warpy IBIS on the S5ii but not the actual clips.
Not that they are a great loss to the world !

I was on a very, very slow internet connection this morning so YouTube was loading in instalments.
It loaded the titles but the thumbnails were a long time coming and it’s interesting how much more appealing a lot of the videos were to me when just looking at the title but how much less so they were when the thumbnails eventually loaded.
I’m probably missing out on a great deal of good content by my inner “oh fuck off you absolute tit” dialogue when I see the content creators stupid gurning shock faced bullshit.
Whether the narcissism that infects so many of them would allow them to just do a content relevant thumbnail is the big question.
I can hear the ”But the algorithm makes us do it” whining from here.

Not AI but this will significantly speed up the manual process and is a good all round productivity booster in general.

For this task (and you can have multiple presets for other tasks) I’d have the left and right inner buttons assigned to the Première Pro keyboard shortcuts for previous and next clip respectively, the centre button to play/pause, one of the outer ones for the export shortcut and the jog shuttle for the jog shuttle.
Workflow would be hit the button to move to next clip, play/pause button and jog/shuttle to locate and then export key to capture.
Rinse and repeat moving to the head of the next clip each time.
Nothing you couldn’t do with mangling your fingers to do the shortcuts but far, far more ergonomic for such a repetitive task.
As I say, they are just generally useful devices for everything editing related.
And not a bank balance drainer at £65 either.
Also, as it’s based on driving keyboard shortcuts it can move with you to different applications.

It also benefits from having IS.
 

I have this lens and this is a simple range example from one spot that  I did with it for someone on here many moons ago.

It is actually more like a 70-200 f2.8 size wise for carrying but that is down to it being a push pull design which isn’t exactly great for smooth continuous zoom shots.
But is ideal for practising the trombone.

Another range example I did with it here, this time on a GX80.

 
Its a very powerful combo but, despite the 35-350 being compact for what it is, when it is mounted on the GX80 it is all a little bit ...

This was introduced last week and offers a raft of new features but the one that seems to be catching everyone's eye is the (paid for) ARRI LogC3 option.

Surprised there hasn't been a discussion about this already on here.
I'm guessing that could be that no one has yet bought those camera types or is too busy wondering why they are spending so much effort looking after a cat that isn't their cat but has just turned up and convinced itself that it is now indeed their cat to be discussing camera firmware updates.
Or, in my case, both.
A bit of a caveat is that it doesn't work in RAW...

Nice is doing a lot of heavy lifting there.
But if people don't mind log shots of mainly grey buildings under grey skies in Salford then have at it !

Or a full frame 36 megapickshel shensor as its known there.

Not sure what the situation is with Sigma and the Z mount.
They do three of their fast compact APS-C primes in Z mount but not the zooms or full frame.
They do more in RF mount but, again, no full frame.
You could speculate that pressure from both their L mount partners and their sensor supplier keeps them out of supplying the big two with full frame lenses.
In the case of Nikon it’s a bit moot as with the Megadap you can just buy the e-mount versions anyway and have them as near as dammit native anyway.

It was indeed.
Was waiting for the firmware update before buying the monitor obviously but won’t be back in range of a dealership for the next month so it will have to wait.
No, it’s the Micro Studio G2 so it is to all intents and purposes a cinema camera too just that it was lacking some easy control and monitoring for standalone use which has now been addressed with this monitor.
Not completely because it is still missing the BLE control but it is now more or less a modular P4K.
Which everyone claimed to absolutely need but judging by how little interest this camera gets didn’t translate too well into reality.
Like Panasonic’s box versions of the GH5 and S5 didn’t either.

Went for a wander in the rain over the weekend with the GH7 and this lens:

I applied some filmic colours and a bit of grain, but the halation / bloom / softness / flares are all the lens.








Just remember, the less you pay for a lens, the more fun it is.... and this lens is a lot of fun.
