Just bought a PANAGOR 28mm f 2.0 MINOLTA MD mount PMC AUTO WIDE-ANGLE lens off of ebay. I have the Rokkor 28mm f2.8, but when I saw this 28mm F2.0 on a generally considered decent Panagor/Kiron lens, I figured I'd take a stab. I saw a lot of these 28mm F2.0 Kiron lenses listed buy it now...

Just totally for curiosity's sake, if Panasonic came out with a 4:2:2 internal 4K recording format update, what would you be willing to pay for it?

For the first half of our short film, our actor is stuck in a trunk where there is no real light source to speak of except what is leaking into the trunk. Granted, there is a bit more light depicted than there actually would be in a sealed trunk of the car, but we felt that it works, and in our...

Here are a bunch of stills from a short we shot Saturday with these settings. I really like the look as an in camera look! Cine D gives more room to push around, for what it's worth in an 8 bit file, and I like Cine V well enough, but I really like how this looks coming right out of the camera.

Great suggestions. We debated long and hard about a light source, many of the ones you mentioned. One that we didn't think of was a bullet hole, and that may add something to the unseen, but briefly mentioned backstory as to how he ended up there. On the other hand, we're using our director's...

We've written and are producing a short film where 90% of the film is in the trunk of a car. No natural light can realistically be there. The actor is playing the scene like he can't see anything. The scene will open in pitch black with just foley and then slowly fade up from black to see...

When I'm using the wifi monitoring on my iPad, I usually connect direct to the GH4 by joining the iPad to its wireless network, but I was having some fun and pulling a prank on a buddy and wanting to film it with the GH4. I was upstairs so I connected to our house wifi with both the Ipad and...

First, by micro jitters we mean the camera is completely still, but the image jumps around, or when it's panning around the image is constantly jittering around with slight variations between every frame. We are not talking about a slow pan where everything is smooth and then the camera jumps...

One of the most straight forward explanations of why the motion blur created by the digital shutters in today's cameras don't look like filmic motion blur, even when using the same shutter speed, came from this company, Tessive that made a $14,000 adapter to put on your camera to give it a more...

I'm seriously looking at the GX7 for a third camera to go with my GH2 and GH4, or maybe even replace my GH2, and just had a random thought. Since the GX7 has in body stabilization, when coupled with a stabilized lens, is the footage even more stable? Does this cause more problems on a tripod...

I posted in the workflow forum with no responses, so I'll give the main forum a shot with hopes of more exposure. Does anyone know definitively what the differences are in MOV vs MP4 (LPCM) modes at the same bitrate? Is it only the wrapper that changes, or is the video data fundamentally...

I think I have the general gist of these modes, but coming from the GH2 I don't have the first hand experience that some here have, having used the gh3. So if some could share and correct me where I'm wrong, that would be wonderful! MP4 vs MOV What's the difference between recording to the mp4...

Hey everyone, through a mix up at the office we accidentally bought 2 GH4s. Two of us thought we were the one that was supposed to buy it. =) Though we'd love to have two of them at some point, we're sticking with one right now. We got the first GH4 (that my coworker ordered the day they...

First of all, I LOVE the GH4. I don't even have it and I already am 99.9% confident that it's going to be the most useful camera I've ever owned. It's nearly everything I want. Going from a GH2 to the GH4, its focus peaking, 4K video, improved AF, headphone jack, wireless control, cine...

As I dig deeper I'm sure that it's a B3 mount, but just for confirmation, here are some pics. The first two of the lens, the last of the Ikagami camera. Jeez, though, the adapters for B3 -> Micro 4/3 are pretty expensive for a machined piece of metal. $200. I'm sure it's because of the low...

Make sure and watch it at 4K if your computer can handle it! It's shot with Sanity hack at 1080p, but I exported the timeline at 4K so that Youtube wouldn't rob as much from it. This is a trailer for a local author's book. She saw a commercial I shot a few months ago and asked me to do a...

So there are all these different models of speedboosters coming from Metabones, and I really want one. But a lot of my glass is old classic MD Rokkor Minoltas, and Metabones said that they're not sure if they will be making one for Minolta. So, I thought, why could they not just make a MFT to...

I was heavily involved in testing and creating my own settings for the GH1. I had the camera before it was ever hacked and was really happy to be able to boost its performance. I kept up to date and knew what each patch did. I was late to the GH2 game (as I really was fine with my GH1 other...

Just a quick little video showing my friend getting his Kitfox ready to take off from our remote airstrip in Southwestern Oregon, in a little town called Agness. Shot on GH1 and GH2.

Easter commercial shot in Paris and in our studio. Comments and critiques are appreciated.
