  1. 2 years ago or so, I was still using a 2012 Mac Mini with 16gb ram, editing in FCP and programming iOS apps. It was quick for its size. I used to put it in my backpack and just hook it up to a monitor at home or at work. Until the new OS rolled in (I think it was Sierra) and after the last update it suddenly slowed down significantly. If the new mac minis are upgradeable like the 2012 was, I think it can be used as a workstation. Unless you want to stay with a Mac, a Hackintosh or Windows in a mini ITX is a better choice.
  2. Great! XT3 is indeed tempting! Been thinking between a Fuji and an A7III as a hybrid cam to pair with a GH5s. Really liking the colors and af from the Xt3 as far as the ones I see on reviews
  3. If P4K will allow output via USB-C then it's possible.
  4. Yeah it's the cost of going to a whole system with a new camera + full frame lenses.
  5. I think he meant 'super impressed despite the shitty EVF and LCD'.
  6. I think the kids aged by 50 years on the P4K ?
  7. I don't know why, but shots from the og pocket looks better vs some of the P4K stuff online and other current cameras
  8. Considered the 12mm f1.4 before but for the price, the 15mm f1.7 is my go to lens if I want a fast and light lens as my general walk around lens
  9. Need some advice guys. Thinking of selling my Sony a6500 and a6300 gear since I only have the kit lens and Sigma 18-35+ Sigma MC-11 left for them. Went with GH5 and GH5s for video and now focused more on videography. Only have the Sonys because I have buddies who only use Sony and they give me gigs as a creative shooter / 2nd shooter just because we can easily match shots when grading. Now there are some photography and sports video gigs that I refuse because 1) I'm not confident with using the GH5 as a photography camera 2) Not confident with the focus with my Sony and 18-35 with the mc-11. I've been eyeing the A7III for some time now but not really sure about the cost vs business. What do you guys suggest? Sell my current Sony a6xx or stick with it and wait for the prices to go down? (Maybe when the A7Siii comes out ?)
  10. What are you referring to about keeping under 75 and about the Sicario ceiling? But I agree with the better contrast in the V3 lut looks much better :). I always add contrast when I use the previous version of the GHa lut. Glad to see it's already added
  11. I hope Blackmagic addresses this via firmware update and not just one of the 'quirks' to be ignored like hardcore P4K posters want to happen. I also want to purchase a P4K in the future but so far some issues that are cropping up are: Soft edges in wide angle lenses Red light clipping Battery getting stuck Battery doors suddenly opening SSD like T3 not immediately recognized I'm not really sure about 'image quality is above everything' agenda but I'm hoping these things that are fixable
  12. I guess the baby iscorama has that vintage character that is only useful in certain situations. Thanks for also telling me more about the iscoramas
  13. Yeah also saw this on Max's comment asking where the GH5 will stand - "Don't currently own one(GH5), but based on my previous tests against the A7iii and X-T2 in 4K The GH5 would be worst than A7III and X-T3 but better than Pocket 4K, Z7, and EOS R (in that order). In 1080P 24 It would be similar to X-T3, better than black magic, a7iii, and others. For 120FPS it would be X-T3. A7iii second, GH5 third, Blackmagic 4th, Z7, and last EOS R." So his opinion based on his tests, A7iii & X-T3 wins. Was really hoping P4K will be a bit higher

  15. Why are the footages I see with the Baby Iscorama gives a soft footage compared to the Iscoramas? Is it because of the taking lens used?(mostly Helios 44). Any thoughts on this? Currently looking for a nice projection lens to pair with Helios44 or Super Takumar 50mm..
  16. I currently own a GH5s and love it for its reliability and low light capabilities. Plus pairing it with an Atomos Inferno means you can shoot 10bit 4k 60fps. But the A7III is a better hybrid camera so if you're also going to take pictures, that's the one to choose. Right now I would also like to own an A7III but with the P4K around, I think a GH5 / GH5s + P4k is a good set to have.
  17. That's weird.. Maybe with the Glidecam?
  18. Any news about the soft edges when using wide lenses like the Laowa 7.5? I was following a thread about this on bmcuser but I think it got removed?
  19. Hi @Sage where can we get this V3 update? Is there an email? Coz I can't remember registering for one. I remember paying with Paypal then downloading the 2 folders (Daylight & Tungsten).
  20. I use the SIgma 18-35 and yes, I think it's a must have even just to experience it with the P4K. I have used it on a GH5 / GH5s / a6500 and the dof and sharpness and contrast is superb compared to other lenses that I used (maybe except the Voigts). I think it's gonna give great images paired since it's contrasty out of the gate plus the dof and you can add a Promist filter if you feel like it's too sharp, and an ND filter for daytime. You can always sell it if it doesnt suit you but you gotta experience it. I was also skeptical since I've used the 12-35, 35-100, 12-40, 12-60 mft zooms and images and video is just better with the Sigma 18-35 before grading and post. Of course you can get the same contrast and sharpness with other mft zooms by adding sharpening and grading in Resolve.
  21. Maybe the 12-35mm f2.8 zoom and test if OIS will work. But if you want to get something cheaper - 12-60mm f3.5 zoom and the 25mm f1.7 prime
  22. No continuous af and IBIS so focus puller and dolly grip included too? ?
