    If you watch enough hours of walking gimbal shots then you'll end up learning by DJI Osmosis.

    Its a pity it doesn't do picture profile versions as well as RAW but the Dpreview test scene shows even in RAW there will be work

    What are they switching it with?
    Blackmagic ATEMs have a pretty comprehensive live colour corrector built in.
    A neutral standard colour profile and manual white balance off a card as a starting point obviously !

    I have to find the time to do it so can't promise anything atm. 
    Your finding is similar to mine. I only use the 37 for the occasion shot and much prefer the 35 F2 for the same reason. Another issue with the mir 37mm is the big minimum focus distance. Not a deal breaker but can be annoying sometime.   
    Here is a still from Mir 35 f2

    A couple of stills extracted from videos.
    Minolta 58/1.4 at f/2, Samsung NX1, mostly at ISO 1600, but few shots required ISO 3200, no hacks.
     Perfectly happy with the results, shadows on this camera are so deep and rich.. Lovin' it.

    My 2x teleconverter for PK mount arrived today.  It was a bargain, especially considering that when I opened up the original instructions that came with it, I discovered that it begins with:
    "The TELEPLUS is the finest quality lens extender on the market"
    Score!!  Even @BTM_Pix can't argue with that!
    I took some test images through my Sun 70-210mm f3.8, both with and without the TC, and initial impressions suggest that it does a pretty good job of zooming into the horrible CA that comes from the zoom lens!  
    It's a wonder why the person was selling it, maybe it was the whacking great fingerprint on one side of the glass element... ???
    I'll be sure to take some test shots over the weekend to properly evaluate it, but it will be great to have some extra reach, considering I'll now have the FF equivalent of a 280-840mm f16 lens.

    I think you can sign up (free) to the Apple Beta Program and get a beta mid July (as opposed to waiting until end September.)

    For a cheap (just over £20) handle with start stop, these are OK I think.

    What a ridiculous situation.
    Who thought that was a good idea?
    I'd be tempted to look to see if anyone has done a 3D printed version of their own as it would be an easy edit to remove a suitably sized opening and then have it printed by someone you know who has a 3D printer or send it off to a commercial bureau to have done.
    This one for example could be a starting point

    And remember to have it printed in electric blue.

    Direct file transfer through USBc and a revamped file management system are huge - same for the new multitasking setup. It now seems to behave like an actual computer in that regard. Apple wants the iPad pro to replace a laptop, for me its been tough giving mine up because of the workarounds to simply get a track from Artlist into iMovie or Lumafusion. If the new Files folder is open to move content to any app or dump cards into, then my beloved little Macbook's days are numbered. A mouse would be a welcome addition as well - but I do like working with the pencil. This can't come fast enough for me.
    Steve Jobs must be rolling in his grave, but this is what the iPad pro needs in order to fulfill Apple's marketing claims.

    Keep that on the downlow. iMovie is amazing, and Apple doesn't need to poach Luma in any way... yeah....

    I take it ALL back! 
    I looked at this mic for my stereo mic search and it definitely piqued my interest, but $299 was just not feasible right now, since I needed two. I ended up going with the Tascam TM-2X which I like a lot and got one of them used in like new condition for a steal, but I'm definitely looking at this for the future. 
    These mics interest me, especially for my pro wrestling work, because I think it can help make it more immersive because crowd reaction adds so much to the overall performance, and sometimes it can come off as a lot more muted than I'd like even when I try to mic the audience since the audience is on all sides of the performance. 
    WWE, the major league, obviously handles it well given they have major league production. But for these smaller events the budget obviously isn't there for me to have an intricate set up with multiple mics all over the building, so something like this that does a "good enough" job of getting all sides of the action / crowd makes me kinda salivate!
    Hoping the two TM-2X at least improves things a little bit! ?
