  1. After adding sharpening, the C4K 60p looks usable, but not as sharp as GoPro 12. The ZF 85mm is set at F8 with peaking on, so the lens should have no issue. GoPro 12 is really good in terms of sharpness and details.

    OM1 burst 120p is at least as good as GoPro12.

    That stinks that it's misbehaving.  Which video modes?  I rented the OM1 last year and wasn't noticing anything weird.  And, again, my lowly em10iii does fine.

    I did NOT use 60p C4k mode though on the rented OM1.

    What power is your reducer? Most are .7'ish, so you'd be around a 60mm equiv., but a difference of 5mm isn;t going to affect much.

    I mean all video modes have this shaking.

    I remembered that when I used this focal reducer on EM5, my Leica R 50 mm f2 is about 35mm, about x1.4-x1.5.

    Maybe the OM1 at 50 mm or 60 mm with IBIS is like this?

    If so, OM1 IBIS is not effective at long focal length. This kind of IBIS performance is about the same as EM5. Not as good as using Canon C300mk1 or FS7 with a Tamron IS lens. At most, they are equal.

    I have a lot of 100 mm and above MF lenses, this just is not enough. Kind of disappointed. If OM1 has this kind of IBIS performance at long focal length, I don't expect much from GH7 S5 2, etc. This kind of critical information, only when you have the camera, you can test. I don't see from the sheer videos on youtube about this.

     

    But in photo 120 p burst mode, as it is less than 1 second, the stabilization is great at 85/55 mm. I will use this mode a lot on OM1. It is the crown jewel. Video modes on OM1 are just not as outstanding.

    Huh?  Surely that can't be right?  I use an EM10iii and can stabilize my old prime lenses as needed --and it does so quite well.  It's a big reason why I bought it.  Or are you writing in context to the 120 burst mode? 

    The 120p photo burst mode has no issue for mf lenses. The C4K 60p and other video modes have issues with mf lenses.

    I used a generic focal reducer with a 85 mm zf, I set the focal length in the ibis as 55mm. Suppose to be the case after the focal reducer. But the IBIS just has little effect.

  4. But if in 120p photo mode, ibis does not matter much. all of the 75 frames are gone in less than 1 seconds. the final image sequences are stable like on tripod.

  5. To my opinion, OM1 is probably the best deal for hybrids now. Stacked sensor 120p 6k for 3 seconds. Good ergonomics and build quality. Just hope that the MF lenses can be stabilized as well as the native lenses.

  6. Just tested C4K 24p, 60p, 4K 24p, 60p, FHD 60p, 120p, 200p. All in H265 10 bit HLG.

    The same landscape scene, focused at infinity at F8 using a manual focus lens.

    Viewing on a 27 inch 4k monitor at a viewing distance of 1 meter in full screen mode without any zooming in.

    C4k 24 p and 60 p look very close, 24p might be a tiny bit punchier. If don't pixel peeping, hardly any difference to my eyes.

    FHD 60p, 120p, 200p are noticeably less detailed and muddier.

    C4K 60p 10 bit HLG looks fine even to the latest standard.

    But none is as good as the 120p photo mode. I used art 1 filter, so the jpeg looks very colorful and punchy, but still has a good dr, much better than EM5 in art 1 mode, which has a very limited dr. The IQ of the 120p 20 mp raw plus jpg is just like, eh, the photo quality. LOL.

     

    Somehow the mf lens can not be stabilized by OM1, almost no stabilization at all to my eyes. Big bomber to me, as I bought this OM1 to stabilize my mf lenses.

     

  7. I found out that the major issue of the 5d3ml, the rolling shutter, is almost unnoticeable when using the 16-35 f4 is. the optical is is really good. very stable. and no rolling shutter. 

  8. the color gives me some true nostalgic feeling. very few cameras can bring this feelings to me. one of my best footages is from this rig. 

     

    5d3ml with 16-35 l f4 is cannot neither, although it is good for hand held. the former rig is for stick. 

  9. om-1 seems having much better dr than em-5. i remember that in art filter 1, em-5 has very narrow dr. om-1 in art filter 1 looks much better. just a quick observation. will test more. 

  10. is high tax on chinese high tech products good or bad?

    i think in the short term it is good, protecting local high-tech industries. in the long run, not sure about the benefits. maybe the states will come up with something totally new, revolutionize the society, thus lead the world in a clear-cut edge. maybe not.

    Some years ago I took at course called Career Exploration (or something like that.) One thing I remember is that they said that you could do any job for awhile but eventually you won't be happy if it doesn't suit you personality type.

    totally true.

    I’ve never really compared what I earn with anyone else or anything I do with what anyone else does, or charges for.

    In fact I don’t really know. Or care.

    I don’t mean to sound in any way flippant or pretentious, but I genuinely have little to no idea what anyone else is doing in my industry or who my ‘competitors’ are, but simply/instead ask am I hitting my own set numbers?

    If so…and I have more or less for 25 years now, then that is where my interest and time spent on that ends.

    If I broke it down, pro rata, per hour, I’d probably be on an ‘above average’ rate, but then factor in everything else from number of hours worked per annum to full-time employment perks and benefits, then pretty sure I would be ‘below average’.

    It’s all relative and yet irrelevant if the overall big picture of life vs income etc works for each of us as individuals.

    My neighbour have a Porsche parked on his drive, a 5 bed mansion and earn 250k a year…but he also works 80 hours a week and has no life other than working relentlessly to support that lifestyle.

    If that’s his choice, fair enough, but would not be and isn’t my choice!

    your neighborhood is nice. you must live a comfortable life too.

    Don't want to start 2025 with a negative post, but I saw this depressing new year resolution today:

    Nothing wrong with being a train operator, but we're at a point that being a train operator is a better career option than shooting pro video with RED cameras. 

    actually, modern trains are high tech instruments, no less than red cams. lol.

    However, for narrative projects, I would never shoot anything other than a standard log profile anymore. I shoot in log on large projects because it allows a color managed workflow. If I shoot a scene one day, and then have pickups a month later, with slightly different lighting because it's cloudier--or with a different camera system altogether--log is very useful. Partly because of added dynamic range, but, more importantly, the shots are standardized to reduce the guesswork for adequately matching. I also shoot a kelvin white balance rather than balancing to a card for the same reason. Standardization is key.

    Actually this is the true reason for log or raw, not the dr thing.

    Which is pretty much why I shoot log with a burned in LUT. 

    Usually needs a slight tweak but generally nothing major if I got the WB more or less in the ballpark.

    i also found that log plus some in camera painting is much better than log then post lut for 8 bit even 10 bit cameras.

    That said I think I saw some OM-1 bodies for around just 1000 euros recently so maybe it's worth considering one too.

     

    i bought my om-1 brand new at $1099 at om store on bf.
