GH3 Video of a car show (GH3 14-140 lens)

Had some fun making this one. Wish I had shot more footage though. Kind of ran out of useable stuff not realizing I was going to make a video out of it. https://vimeo.com/70368189

Nice shots. The 14-140 lens is what came with my GH2, and although its a dog in low light, it works quite well out doors.

I've that lens too and in my opinion the footage looks always as from a normal camcorder.
I don't know why, maybe because it is not as sharp as other lenses. I don't use this lens very much. Only when I need the zoom.

I have mixed feeling about these sharp lenses. We buy lensesfor a couple of reasons, sharpness being one of them. Then when we make a video,in many cases we set our cameras to produce video that mimics the film look byremoving the sharpness and de-saturating the color, or we do it in post. So whyare spending hundreds and in some cases thousands of dollars to get super sharplenses when we remove the sharpness?
As an experiment to remove a little sharpness I did a grainoverlay in the middle somewhere just to see how it looked compared to the otherclips. Then of course I forgot to take it out just so I could be annoyed everytime I see it.
