GH4 New footage

Just downloaded the 4k version of Driftwood's piece. This thing seems sharper than our old RED. Black are a little noisy in the out of focus background, but that may have much to do with the cine d setting. At 1080 downres I don't notice it.
 
How exactly does somebody get ahold of a pre-production GH4 anyway? I've seen an awful motley smattering of reviewers with their hands on the thing. Heck, I've got a short personal project that would showcase the thing... where do I sign up?

FYI, he was using Cooke S4i cinema lenses, which have a 105mm filter thread. A 105mm ND9 filter runs between $270-$400. These lenses are usually used on film shoots with a matte box that holds rectanngular filters.
It is mentioned that he doesn't own 105mm filters. And perhaps he didn't feel like using a matte box. The Cooke lenses do the job of testing for sharpness and 4k resolving ability of the GH4.

FYI some of the Panchros "mini S4s" can take 82mm CPLs, I know because i've done it many times.

Good to know. Unfortunately, I live in a part of the USA that doesn't have a huge production community, and availability of cinema lenses is limited, unless you rent them via mail. Not a whole lot of PL glass gets used at all around here. I shot 2nd Unit on a feature using a C300 with EF mount Zeiss CP2s, but that was my only experience with cinema lenses. That will change. Especially with my upcoming GH4!

I actually don't think many people know it,or have bothered to try it. A lot of the time I'm avoiding mattebox usage, and I'll try just about anything to get away from them haha.
