GH3 Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH3 preliminary high ISO test + new Canon CN-E prime lenses

the 12-35mm & 35-100mm are pretty reasonably priced, and id not call them slow.

if your shooting on DSLR/DSLM i think f2.8 & f2 is as fast as zooms will get. the tech guys will work on improving high iso performance and new sensor technologies way before they design a huge fast zoom to compensate for weak high iso sensors.

How exactly is $1,200.00 per lens not affordable?

Erik owns the 12-35, & 35-100. I'm sure he considers them bargains compared to his cine lenses.

I imagine his comment was in reference to "As soon as someone makes an affordable high speed zoom with autofocus and IS".

And the f2 zooms from Olympus are currently freaks of nature that very few have been able to duplicate at anywhere near a sane price level.

Yes thats what I was saying. These two lenses are incredible!!!!
 
Way back in 2006 (HVX era) I did ten long days on a pair of 4k Origin cameras.

What Beasts!

So bulky that when operating it was sometimes preferable to lay one's torso on top of what looked like the magazine, & just bear-hug the body.

And required a tech crew that outnumbered the camera department's

Occasionally I'm still haunted by memories of fiber optic braids feeding 10 disk RAID arrays which clicked away inside large wheeled cases hidden behind the cycs. A pair of arrays held an hour of footage for a single camera, & we spate so much data that Hollywood started running out of storage, & the project veered towards an ugly law suit.

Panavision's team labeled it "The Science Experiment".

We had more luck as ARRI was extremely helpful. We were, after one event tv-movie shot in Africa, the second to shoot a complete "film" for tv on that beast. Actually I loved it. No fancy knobs - switch on, switch off. And the sensor was slow but quite good and very forgiving with skin tones - all though the subject of the movie was in itself something more to the pale side of things..... "Ouch" for derailing the thread a bit...
