GH4 Magic...

[stoneinapond]

An exercise to determine the best aperture setting for the revised SLR Magic CINE II lens and the SLR Anamorphot combination for daytime wide scenes while maintaining edge sharpness. There is a slight flickering of moiré in a few of the architectural details, but not in the original full resolution clips.

Shot on two cloudy occasions with a Panasonic GH4 using the Natural "all flat" setting. Captured in UHD 24p and down-converted in FCP X along with exposure adjustments all round, and slight color correction on a few of the clips.

All hand held and post stabilized.





Comments welcome.

Thanks for posting. I really appreciate your real life tests. I guess that observation on absence of moiré issues is already to prevent my mandatory inquiry if you previously had not noticed on topic : D following up our prior discussions because of the visible hassle present on the samples on Vimeo : ) well, here's my entry on the best method to the best downsample route in order to avoid it:

You know I had you in mind when I wrote that.

I only looked at the BM hardware option, but that's too rich for what I'm doing. I will check out the other link as that is the next frontier - how to compress without artifacts.

As ever, many thanks.
