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 ... 

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.

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...
 

It also benefits from having IS.

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.

Nikon F with full as native like electronic control is the big one for me.
FujiFilm X mount is also available now with full electronic control. Limited to APS-C by the nature of the lenses of course.
Dumb mount MFT is also available. Again, limited image coverage but OK up to APS-C as most of the MFT lenses you'd want to use offer that wider coverage.
In theory, there is enough space for someone to do a Hasselblad XCD adapter but no one has actually done it as far as i'm aware.
There are a couple of other interesting ones between the Z and the RF as well, most notably Canon's own EF-M and of course the RF mount itself !

I think you should.
I think you’d be pleasantly surprised at the degree of enhancement the accumulated knowledge of these intervening years brings.
It’s a camera that has always appealed to me and I’ve been waiting patiently to pick a used one up for £200 for years now.
Still waiting !
Which is likely a testament to how many people have held on to them and are still getting great results .

I don’t know how you can say that with a straight face.
The BFI have just published a report saying that 130,000 films and scripts have been used without permission or accreditation.
It is all about violating copyright.

An EVF less Z30 with a big screen sounds very much like one of these to me.
