  1. i wouldnt say panasonic is out. their s1h is still my first pic. by far. 10bit, awesome varicam color science. also custom LUTs, and dedicated anamorphic recording modes AND anamorphic IBIS modes.

    As long as Canon doesnt do those... ill stick with the S1H. im waiting for mid February to decide ;)

    We anamorphic nuts might just be a few, but we are vocal xD

  2. mighty interested in this as well. Heck, we have the S1H and XT-4 for anamorphic nuts like me already, i really wonder what Canon will pony up in 2 weeks. 

    The canon really got one big advantage over the other 2 :  the RF to EF ND adapter. that alone could sway me.

  3. heck, if this is even half-truth ... i'm interested. means i could use my old L glass, lots of anamorphic adapters with the RF to EF ND filter adapter. I guess i am salivating.

    For me, a nice ND filter solution with good anamorphic ratios (3:2, 4:3; 6:5) feels like the next step to me. with anamorphic IBIS support ;)

    The great news is that exposure/luma is about to become a breeze, in roughly a week.

    I'm really curious what you came up with :) Right now im using CST's to linear and back to do my pre-GHa exposure. Looking forward to your solution!

  5. @Lars Steenhoff: thanks for the great footage you've shown here ?

    How to say, i am still on the fence. as an ex-5dmk3 RAW user, now GH5... i am pondering if i should go S1H (with the awesome vlog/lut workflow (i love using false color luts for exposure on my gh5) ... or if i should return to a RAW workflow with the Sigma... both entice me. (i know i should just get both >.>)

    I was wondering about colorspace. With 5kmk3 RAW, i used the cinelog LUT to conform ML RAW to cineon log in Resolve. Do we have any conforming LUTs for Sigma yet, or even better some ACES input transforms? or what is your workflow? ?

     

  6. agreed, it is getting more and more difficult to get a hold on some nice ones. I know i will be keeping mine for a long time.

    But with makers like SLRMagic, Aivascope, and lately Sirui, it looks like there will be some affordable glass on the market. Albeit no small scopes (except the Aiva).

  7. There's quite a few ways to go lightweight, but you didn't mention what sensor size you are going for :) The Aivascope that @heart0less linked you to is an awesome, single-focus 1.5x for fullframe.  It does not need a focusser, but imho it does need support, because it is rather heavy on the taking lens at around 700 gramms. But Aivascope also makes a smaller scope, for smaller sensors.

    Here's mine for instance : GH5 > speedbooster > Nikon 50mm 1.8 pancake > Aivascope 1.75x v2 > ProtoDNA. Quite lightweight, does without rails. (see attached picture)

    This gives me perfect 2.40:1 when desqueezing opengate 4:3.

    Then again when you go vintage scopes there is quite a lot of choice :

    • Baby Hypergonar (the 1.75x aivascope is a modern take on that one
    • Yashica Scope (a cute small 1.5x one, which i would double focus)
    • Bolex 8/19 (1.5x bolex flare goodness, one of my favorite baby scopes)
    • Baby Kowa (2x, even more elusive than the Bolex)

    So you can go for light and small scopes, especially if you stick to m43 or s35 sensor sizes ... but it might take a year or 2 to hunt some baby scopes down... and you better have deep pockets.

    I like cinema5d, but if I understood their review correctly they seem to be saying the camera's internal picture profiles are influencing the raw recording. I don't see how that is possible, those profiles would be only baked into the h264s. They are also advocating for a log profile to interpret the raw image as well as an option for the baked h264 footage. Resolve should do a decent job of translating the DNG frames based on metadata, then if you want you can convert to your chosen log profile with CST nodes or similar. If Sigma did create a log profile and gamut, and put out a white paper then that would be nice, but I'm assuming the DNG metadata currently there isn't garbage because the images seem to look oka

     

    Iirc they just put the RAW stuff into an SRGB/gamma 2.6. Which seems quite ... unusual. whenever i do raw stuff in resolve, i go for blackmagic film, as flat as possible, then onwards to cineon and other log stuff. as i understand they tried to emulate the RAW to something they can compare to their other measurements.

    For me, RAW needs special treatment : ETTR, normalisation, and then noise reduction (i love neatvideo for that). it's difficult to compare the fp's dynamic range, because all other cams lower the noise floor already. you need to do your part in RAW yourself.
