Thanks for sharing! Looks great. I'm very interested in this 2x anamorphic adapter. What aspect ratio do you get when shooting in 4:3 mode with this adapter? It seems wider that 2.40:1 to me, but maybe I'm wrong...

Also, the GH4 still can't shoot in 24p when in 4:3 mode, right?

 

[Zak Forsman]

yeah, it's a little wider. 4:3 can also be expressed as 1.33:1. so a 2x squeeze would result in a 2.66:1 aspect ratio.

No 24p for 4:3 mode. Hopefully that's something we'll have soon.

So we'd then crop the 2.66:1 4K footage on the sides to bring it down to 2.40:1, right? What resolution do we end up with at that point?

No 24p for 4:3 mode. Hopefully that's something we'll have soon.

Yeah, I'm not touching any shooting mode other than 24p for my work. If Panasonic is smart, they'll enable this feature ASAP and market the GH4 as an Anamorphic powerhouse.
