Well done bitcrusher! Can't beat the Nokton / GH2 combo. Wonderful mood on your edit as well.

My fav. shot is at 1:56, beautiful. What's the name of this track by the way?

Its from MUM off the "finally we are no one" album, the track is called Green Grass of Tunnel. Great music for that forgotten childhood vibe.

It looks like it passed the test! I am guessing you did color grading as well?

I imagine you used some ND to get that DOF at daylight...
How this lens compare with the Pana 20mm 1.7 ?

Tks.

Had a ND8 and a polarizer on. Was still around a f4 for most of the day time shots. I have the panasonic too and its a great lens. The main deference is the obvious one, F1.8 vs F0.95 but if you stopped them down to F2 you are not going to find a big deference in IQ.

They render in a slightly deferent way similar to a zeiss VS cooke debate.

In the ergonomic side of things its no contest the Nokton wins. I was not sure I would like the apature on the front of the lens but I found that a lot better. But at the end of the day they are both wonderful lens and could of done this video with the 20mm with no prob.
