1. It's not my most used combo, but the one I like best. X-T3 + Zhongyi Lens Turbo II (which is basically glued to my camera, rarely do I take it off) + Pentax M 50/1.8 (love this little fella, it's the best fifty I've ever had).
During the past few years I've had the chance to jump between many systems (Canon DSLRs, Sony E, Panasonic M4/3, Samsung NX, you name it..), every one of them had some quirks. Then I got into Fuji (by chance) and something clicked. Maybe it's the camera, but maybe it's my attitude that changed. I no longer feel the urge to have the latest features, the best gear possible. Having said that, I still like to indulge myself sometimes. ( :
 

 
2. Well, I guess you could learn something about me reading between the lines.
I'm a medical student, hopefully to be a doctor in 1.5 years time.
I'm also more of a research-everything-extensively-before-you-do-anything kind of guy. Making a plan and then sticking to it. Everything should be in its place.
To be honest, I think I have some mild case of Asperger's, lol.
 
3. Favorite music - you name it. I listen to classical music, movie soundtracks, rock, electronica, chiptune. Almost everything, apart from rap, jazz and blues.
I don't support any team, don't follow any sport, though I really like backpacking and cycling.
Besides that, I also cut stencils and spray paint them. Street-art was one of the things that got me into all the camera-related stuff, actually.
 
4. Some more challenges! Anything to make us creative.
Sharing our thoughts about the craft / process would be great, too. BTS stuff, etc.
Cameras are great, but they don't have the power to change anything you're trying to capture, the things you have in front of you.
Maybe some DIY talks?
 
5. It's a difficult question for me, since I'm not really outside of Poland that often, maybe twice a year. And when I am, I rather try get to know and enjoy different cultures as much as I can.
About my home town: all the people I used to hang out with and my family.
 
6. I guess it was 2018.
 
 

1. Show us a picture of your current most used camera and lens
At the bottom is a rather unglamorous photo in my work shop of my Nikon Z6 with a Vizelex ND throttle adapter, and Zacuto viewfinder, and one of the set of Canon FD lenses I love to shoot the out and about hand held videos I often shoot and edit. In studio I use mostly Canon cameras. I've owned a BUNCH of them: C100, C100Mk ii, C300 Mk ii, C200, EOS R...right now most of my videos in-studio are made on the XC-15, mainly because of the good audio of that camera. Shooting handheld video with fast primes, especially  on the long end---like the 2.8 200 mill on the Nikon in my photo, is difficult and a challenge. But what I lose in some shots I gain in others...and I love the freedom and spontaneity of hand held shooting.
2. Tell us a few facts about yourself! 
Began as a professional clarinetist. After years of university teaching I got involved in manufacturing and designed an entire line of professional clarinets for one of the three great French clarinet makers: G.Leblanc Corp. Began my own clarinet company in 2005 and we now produce clarinets of my design and send them to both professionals and advanced players all over the world--everywhere except Antarctica.
In 2000 I wrote the first complete pedagogy in the history of the clarinet---my interest in education has never flagged.  That combined with owning a business to promote lead to me producing now over 200 educational videos on every aspect of the clarinet. Learning video over the years got me hooked on it as a "Ding an sich." Since then I've done a lot of videos---working to wed music and images---with varying and marginal degrees of success. Quixotic as it may be I persist---I just love making stuff.  Here's one I last fall with the Pani S1. 
 
3. What's your favourite music, favourite sport / team, other hobbies
Brahms, Beethoven,Schubert, Mozart---especially German Lieder. Hate the mostly trash I hear blasted at people everywhere.
4. What your hopes are for the future of EOSHD, what would you like me to cover - and the camera you are looking forward to most?
You do a fantastic job, and you reviews have few peers. I just hope to continue to benefit, with my obvious limitations of time, from all you and the "video wokafile" pros share here. The whole video community owes you a continuing debt of thanks.
5. Tell me what you miss about your country and home town when you are not there
My family, hands down. I'm glad most of my traveling days are over--for several reasons, not the least of which is it is getting to be an increasingly dangerous world. Though I do hope to visit my daughter and her family if we can get past this scourge. They live in....Barcelona, of all places.
6. The year you first started reading EOSHD
Probably about 2013. Not sure when I actually gave myself an identity.

1. FS5 w/100 - 400 G master. Sometimes I'll run a 70 210 f4 FD or a 70-300 FD.
2. I eat, sleep, and breath, the sport of lacrosse. I hate video but I love color grading. College Sophomore. 
3. I like rap/hip hop mostly but I listen to some 80s style synth occasionally. The breakfast Club and Top Gun are my favorite movies. 
4. Please cover more lenses both vintage and modern, id like to see some stuff about the SLR magic primes and Zeiss CP.3s. Since ima Sony Fan boy A7siii or FX6.
5. Sweet Tea (if your from the South East US, you know what I'm talking about.)
6. I believe 2018. 

Hey Andrew, what a great idea!
1. my most used camera is the GX85 with either Fujinon Cmount 12.5mm 1.4 or boosted Canon FD 28mm F2.8. Most current camera is the Lumix S1 with different flavors of FD mount lenses like Vivitar 90mm Macro or Canon FD 20mm. Super fun focal lengths and lenses on the larger sensor. So here is a pic of my most recent camera which puts out an incredible image even in its 8bit 709 profiles, coupled with the Vivitar 90mm.
2. I´m a filming addict who needs his daily camera exercises. To this day I admire old school Eoshd articles and the film making essays of Tony Zhou, which are magnificiant for everyone who wants to learn film. Film making to me is a rather personal than industrial affair. I enjoy to be on creatively challenging sets with limited resources. Have been a gaffer for quiete a few gigs now and hope these guys don´t forget pay me back on my sets some day:)
3. favorite hobby is getting lazy and growing a belly.:) I love stills photography and used to love any kinds of sports. Favorite athletes are Katharina Witt, Mike Tyson and Zidane.
4. I am looking forward for EOSHD to stay  welcoming towards different people, flavors and opinions other than mine.:) I wish for some friends to come back like @kidzrevil, @maxotics and others. I would love more articles of overseen gems and nerd machines like LX100, modded Sony A6000 or the Pentax lens which is a Zeiss. And most of all more film vignettes by Andrew Reid, the man himself!  I would have loved a follow up blog post on the EOSHD 200EUR camera challenge. Would love more official and moderated challenges like that.
5. I miss certain things in culture, arts, solidarity, intellect, kindness and sensuality the most, since commercial culture and dull salesman blahblah and mentality have been pushing anything else aside.
6. First time reading Eoshd could have been around 2012 when reading about the GH2 on dpreview. Beautiful times!
Now, interested in your posts, dear friends!

well a p4k for starters 😉

You Trump hating fake news motherfu......
Sorry, wrong thread.
Here is a guide to iOS versions, some of which can be used with games controllers which look like OK options if you have a PS4 controller around etc. 
There are a few whole kits on Amazon with the shoot through glass but who knows when they will be able to deliver.

i have been watching jeff dunham, the guy that does ackmed the dead terrorist, he's done a 3 part live stream of a new puppet. Which has been interesting i thought. I think perhaps some people do it better than others. I dont mind a few inconsistencies, as i figure i'd be at the same level or worse, but if its consistently annoying then i'll give it the heave ho. If you have done it for a living i can see how it would be grow annoying pretty quickly.
I bet the only companies making money would be internet providers, netflix and youtube at the moment. I'd prepare for an influx of          " new content " with everyone at home,  its either that or go stir crazy in some respects.
Presuming total lockdown is a few days away or maybe a week, i went for a drive to a larger town today and bought a meat smoker. I figure there's not much i got control over at the moment, but at least i can control the bbq. I didnt get a wood chips as i live in an orchard  growing area and i have already sourced all the plum, apricot, pear limbs i can use. Your all welcome, just bring a mask and your own potato salad. 😁

But don’t do this...
I offered to film my wife doing a short (3 minutes) introduction to her immunology lecture next week (all lectures are currently online). Easy - a green screen and I had some serology testing footage for the background. Filmed it. Packed everything away. Opened Resolve... she was wearing a top with green stripes... 
Just finished take two...

Fucking hell, sounds like they don't get on then
 

Not with an A7s it won't!
 

not sure if any of you are fans of mathieu stern or not but hes made a post of catching corona virus

not much would change, maybe they will turn the lights off, but noone has L series glass so the picture might be a bit darker perhaps 😉

nice work... grimor must be the cop with the head cam on the right 😀

Home made yesterday with my children and in one room. 

beat me too it by an hour 😃

'Cepting Australia of course!

or the americas cup, but we got there first 😉

I have just re-purposed my original Lidar prototype into a body worn device with a speaker that barks out "BACK OFF YOU BASTARD" when it detects someone breaking the recommended two metre safety perimeter.
Being confined to a small apartment, the novelty off this invention has worn very thin with my other half.

you know i was only thinking a few minutes ago of how to take advantage of the situation. I wonder if there is any merit in shooting some video of empty streets or highways, parks as it would make removing people or cars from said footage much easier and a  safer workplace at the moment in some instances i think. Of course you'd still need to obey the laws. but it would bring whole new level to guerilla film making perhaps. Maybe in the future the stock footage would be worth something in a post corona virus environment  We can always throw @BTM_Pix out in front to lure potential trouble away 😉 he seems like a magnet for interesting people. 

be aware you would then owe grimor a favor 😲

your drone has robotic arms why am i not supprised 🙄

lol , yeah i figured he'd have a poke at it, if it was down at his level. I put two gopros down at each end of the hall and lounge. Sound was a bit muffled, i should have hooked up the rode mic but then that might have put the cat off. In hindsight i should have swapped the cameras and had the  gopro with a  mike near the lounge. Since neither of the gopros were in housings i thought the sound would have come through better.
That is the cats normal exercise regime in the morning and he is a dead set ninja on carpet, not much gets past him, but it does get interesting when he hits the cork 😉 He does have some other toys, If i do it again i'll try it with the p4k and apply some of the things i learned. This was a quick and pretty ordinary effort but i did learn a few things and the other thing i wanted to do was lighten peoples moods a little. 
 

I do not really care about new cameras now (ok I do but unlikely to get any) but i AM looking forward to photographing and recording the giant party that is gunna be here when "it's" over with what I have..

Man, does he know how to frame!
He clearly didn't like the first shot, hahaha.
