so after the reveal whats next  ?    what are the odds of making it a monthly or bimonthly challenge.  to give the users of the forum something to aim for, or aspire too perhaps ?
cause we all do  a lot of talking, something to keep us learning the craft would be really constructive as well.?

i second the motion. i'm happy i had a go at it, nothing ventured nothing gained as they say. i think i took something away from watching each of the entries. So i'm thinking its a win/win for me even i don't actually win anything. ?

Nearly done putting every video into a poll. Took ages!
Hopefully get everything tied up tomorrow.
Cheers for waiting!

i was out and about today,  found out there was a road up to the radio tower thats on the eastern side of town from talk at the local mens shed. They have actually put in a lookout up near the top as well this may be my new favorite spot. Had the p4k with me so here's a still from it. The tokina at the 28mm end of things
 

that strap is for one of these and the extra batteries you will need for shooting and editing 6k    ?

back in the days of film i remember that people used too stretch pantyhose across the lens to soften it. you could try different colours but i favoured black ?

here is a thread over at https://***URL removed***/forums/thread/4189446#forum-post-59934159 about the konicas you might like to peruse it
 
i did have a very good website on the konicas however the desktop has died and i cant remember the webpage name.  i bought the 50mm 1.7 years ago after a little research more research would have revealed, because of the flange distance i couldn't mount it to the 60d and get infinity focus without an adapter that had a glass element in it. Back then there were a lot of questions about the quality of optics in adapters. so thats about as far as i went i could probably get something to fit the p4k however i haven't worked for three weeks  so i'm a bit constrained at the moment.
the hexanon lenses have a short flange distance if not the shortest i think. Which might potentially give you grief further down the track if you were to change systems perhaps.
this might be the sight i was thinking of but it seems to be changed or updated from what i remember.http://www.konicafiles.com/

ok, so bmd has had its moment out in the sun again and a couple of more threads have been started, you'll either buy one or you wont  . Now cam we get back to the important business at hand ? like creating content and judging said content ?

hmm, you could buy 33 bmp4k's  @ $1800 australian for 59400 but you probably want to only get 30 and have some change for memory cards and a couple of rig solutions  and a tripod perhaps

maybe us owners should start a thread here on the forum for it  ? At least then members wouldn't have to go far to get info or an opinion on it

i'm going to play devils advocate momentarily, they may demand 4k but what do they deliver ? I live a long way from any broadband connection so my viewpoint is extremely biased, however you try pushing 4k down through the internet to everyone, that sucker is simply going to melt. i notice tv stations are falling over themselves to present us with hd content let alone 4k, where i am 38 channels of  576i compared to ( lets be optimistic and ) say 4 channels of hd  hmm thats like an excellent ratio dont you think ? 
Australia at least, is a long way behind the eight ball where hd and 4k are concerned. How other countries have it sorted i have no idea. It maybe true you can easily buy a 4k tv but getting or steaming content to play on that beastie is another issue all together i feel. Unless you live in a city 500 meters from a broadband hub, lucky you. What sort of data plan would you require for 4k or 6k anyway ? HD can chew through the gigabytes, 4k or 6k will be epic and next level, and require superconductors and still probably melt both polar icecaps, but they were melting already so its no big deal. 
There is 29,614 people on this forum, 6 billion on this planet and counting. Where video is concerned, i think that makes us a bunch of elitists. Notice i include myself in this description as well. If you can afford 4k, 6k, 8k cameras and everything that equipment entails i say awesome. If you can send receive or stream all that then your doubly awesome and must be living in utopia. Planetary wide, i'd say hd is probably a drop of water in the bucket. Personally i love my tech when i can afford it and playing with it. If you get paid to play with video and can claim it on your tax thats also awesome. But if i think on it really deeply then there is a bunch of people out there that would say my 4k pictures taste like shit and a can of baked beans would taste better and they would be right.

well done, very nice, and double focus as well.  makes me think i'm a wuss wanting a single focus solution lol 

careful you might start a whole new craze,  the double flares are interesting 

quite a few of the blogger reviews had double orders and i know of other that had multiple orders and once the first order turned up they either cancelled or tried hocking  it on ebay at an inflated price. pretty suss behavior if you ask me but thats seems to be the way of things. my only question is how long till we hit  400 pages like the p4k did. personally i wont be getting one anytime soon, theres still plenty of life left in the p4k i got
