You know what I was talking about. And you know people have asked if it was possible on the P6K.

And the jump up from m43 to APS-C and then full frame sensors does give you better low light abilities most of the time.  Look at the Gh5 to Gh5s and them the A7SII and the new mirrorless S1 and Z6 over the GH5.  

You act like the P6K will be a step down from the P4K with sped booster.  You either have a P4K, GH5 or just want to talk down the P6K APS-C sensor vs M43.  

No, A larger sensor doesn't give you better low light performance... but I don't think its worth arguing with you.

And untrue: I don't think P6K is a step down. If I didn't already have a camera, it might be the one I would choose

The P6K will do better in low light. This happens when you move up to a bigger sensor. The P6K also has better processor and gives you upgrades across the board in what it can produce.  Yes the P6K and P4K can work perfect together and that's great. 

This is incorrect. A larger sensor doesn't mean better low light.

The P6K gives you a full frame look right out of the box compared to the P4K. 

There is no such thing as the full frame look.

Just got the Tokina 28-70mm f2.6-2.8 AT-X Pro. ?

What would be a great and cheap wide angle lens with filter thread to use with it?

enjoy it, my favourite lens by far! using the P4K & XL I can usually get away with 28mm on the wide end. 

I thought Netflix just go around to festivals buying a lot of the content regardless of what its shot with for there 'Netflix Original's'

Are people still seeing macro blocking in blue skies when shooting BRAW or has that been fixed?

tbh I've never seen any macro blocking in blue skies on the 4k.

Yes indeed. I see an adapter with built in VND

And so will you be when your $1000 iPhone is replaced with something better. This is how technology works. 

Its just the Canon RF-EF ND adapter.

I bet RED wish they released that Komodo they've been teasing a bit earlier

B&H saying they expect avaliability August 12th 

well... got to say I didn't expect that!

Its in that dangerous price range where its cheap enough to consider trading in a Pocket 4k & Speedbooster.

Someone posted this on bmcuser. Look at resolution.

I know I'm dreaming on some of these but I'm hoping for:

- Anamorphic mode for the Pocket

- New VA monitors that can control the BM Cameras 

- A small EVF designed for the Pocket

- BRAW announced for the older BM Cameras

They'll probably announce shipping date for the Battery Grip also

Not sure anyone on here actually has the 35-70mm ?

I saw one on eBay for £150 but someone beat me too it! should have pulled the trigger right away

I find the best results when I expose correctly with the Pocket 4k. I also almost always stay at 400.

Its quite expense, but check out the Steadicam air monopod

I like the Manfrotto 745XB, discontinued but I found it cheap used, built in levelling ball, just attach your head of choice!

The non tilt screen is never an issue? 

Nope never needed or wanted a tilt screen, even on the GH5 I left it tucked in. 

Thats a great deal!

I read somewhere that they market the 2.6-2.8 as 2.8 in Japan so it could be that? However, I could be wrong. 

Anyway the Angie is an incredible lens, perfect on the Pocket 4k with a Speedbooster!

I much prefer the BM body and ergonomics over the GH5. I can't go back to a 3inch monitor or a non-BM OS. However I will take the GH5 battery life!

Does the firmware rollback if you have the old Cinema DNG version?

Yep, you can install previous firmware if you have the old version

Try shooting a blue sky, Braw is macroblock hell even set to Q0 and 3:1. Braw has looked good with everything else I've shot, but I'll have to rely on my trusty 5DMk3 with magic lantern for anything with a blue sky in it.

Can't say i've ever seen macro blocking when shooting a blue sky but maybe I haven't been looking for it, here's 2 3:1 braw clips on my hard drive and they look good to be with a fairy aggressive grade. They might not be the best examples.

Good to know, thanks! I always found that LUT a little harsh so sprung for that buttery films LUT. 

I would be interested to see how it performs but i've always been satisfied with blackmagic's one.

cDNG is a way better but .braw doesn't visibly diminish it.

Yeah, my eye isn't good enough to distinguish between them, I prefer the workflow of BRAW but I totally understand why people prefer CDNG. Most of the time Im shooting in ProRes anyway, only using BRAW for bigger projects at the moment!

Feature request for Davinci Resolve - one click 'make my skin tones awesome' button.  Make it so, Blackmagic!

I didn't do much more than use the Extended Video v4 LUT and some lift gamma gain adjustments. (I did darken the bookcase on the wide).  I've been really impressed with the colours out of the BMPCC 4K!
