Are these the Fuji lenses, Matt?

Nice glass package Matt! Those are the exact lenses I would buy with the XT-3

This also would be a nice new wide to add: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1424733-REG/fujifilm_16591570_xf_8_16mm_f_2_8_r.html

Yeah that glass is INSANELY sharp.
To give more "character" I use my Zeiss C/Y primes with a metabones adapter.
Fuji has absolutely nailed what I am looking for in a digital "film" camera.
Their filmstock emulations are exquisite, they have constant updates, and are always improving their product.

Cinema 5D is finding the Dynamic range to be superior to the GH5S and A7SII.

macgregor already found the XT2 to be the king of dynamic range among mirrorless cameras, so that was definitely expected

(what I get out of the c5d graph is that the GH5s is waaaaay better than I give Panasonic credit for; the GH4 was atrocious in terms of DR, glad to see them improving THAT MUCH in just one generation and a half)

Yes it was a good sensor choice. I don't think the GH5 came close to as much dynamic range, though it wasn't too shabby either. Definitely better then the GH4(log was pretty much unusable in 8 bit).
Cinema 5D said in prior reviews that the XT2 had a bit less dynamic range then the A7SII but the XT3 seems to be ahead which is pretty awesome. Really looking forward to using it.
Why does sensor size really matter?
Not for image quality or low light for most of us.
As the GH5/GH5S is right up there.
Is it for shallow depth of field?
T0.95 on MFT is already impractically shallow for most shoots! So why do we need to go even more shallow?
And if image sensor size is what really matter, then we should only buy Medium Format! ;-)
(waits for the Large Format shooters to come along and comment about how puny teeny tiny digital Medium Format is....)
If you're in Auckland then drop a message and we'll have a beer!

For the GH5, "low light" basically means any interior shooting without setting up lights. This is documentary-style production. I regularly find myself shooting at 12,800 ISO, even at f/4 or f/2.8. There are a lot of dark interior spaces. Minimally I need a camera that will shoot clean 6400. GH5 cannot. (I also need solid AF on an SLR as it is often used on a gimbal)
For lenses, zoom range is also important for documentary-style production. You can't just switch lenses all the time or you will miss action. The trade off is smaller aperture for more zoom range. For this reason, it's better to get a camera that can shoot clean at higher ISOs so you have the most lens selection available.
No, it's not. I've been hired to shoot documentaries... we lit our subjects.
Yet he was spot on...
And I'm one of those large format shooters. I find it rather odd that people refer to 135 and Vista Vision as "large format" given that they're smaller than medium format.
Well for me APSC gives a certain look. With M43 you are forced to use wider lenses which have more distortion. Its a stylistic thing, but APSC close to Super 35 is what most people are used to seeing in theaters. Its also a cost thing .95 glass tends to be very expensive compared to moderately fast APSC glass.
I do agree with the new sensor used in the GH5S and BMP4K (as well as other cameras) the lines between sensor size are blurring.

Read back a little and you'll have a better understanding of the context.
Post #28...my response was to him saying Fuji was almost catching up to Panasonic, and I provided a different opinion.

Wires seemed to have gotten crossed somewhere. Everyone forgetting about 65mm and IMAX in the cinema world.

There are different types of documentaries. What I refer to documentary-style is where what is happening is not being done for the camera. You are capturing events as the unfold apart from the filming. In these situations you don't light.
