Leopold: “Here is my first trailer of my upcoming project “After Us”. It was also my first time with my GH4 out in the wild after spending some time with all the technical possibilities with that very nice cam. I´m very excited filming in 4K with this tool and although realized in the post production how much i still can push it and will in the future. https://vimeo.com/103432291”

Flammaboi: “Hey I just wanted to share this live music video I made shot with three cameras; one of them being the GH3 and Camdiox Focal Reducer. The colour between the cameras was a bit different and it took some effort to match the colours but I did eventually manage it: https://vimeo.com/103027540“

(FT5) Trusted source: Yes E-M1 firmware is coming but doesn’t add 4K video.

Share

At last one of my long time trusted sources confirmed Olympus will launch a major E-M1 firmware update soon but he said that as long as he knows they will NOT add 4K video recording.

P.S.: I am actually surprised the previous new source was wrong on that rumor because I know he is a highly regarded man from the video world. Let’s see who is right but I will trust…trusted old time sources always more than new ones :)

The new Handevision 40mm 0.85 MFT lens gets a surprising positive feedback from Lensrentals!

Share

Most of us were convinced the new Handevision 40mm f/0.95 would just be an expensive gimmick. And so was Roger Cicala from Lensrentals. But when he tested the lens he had to change his mind about it:

In my expectations at the beginning of this article, I never expected this lens to do this well in the center. I didn’t even consider it a possibility. I can’t tell you that it’s worth $2,000 to you, but I can certainly say it’s not overpriced for what it offers. This is an excellent lens.

So this lens is not a gimmick, but it remains a very expensive piece of glass. Is that mini aperture advantage worth 2x the price of the Voigtlander Nokton?

The Handevision 40mm f/0.85 is in Stock at BHphoto (Click here)

For the record. These are the five f/o.95 lenses:
Nokton 25mm f/0.95 ([shoplink 36580 ebay]here one Bay[/shoplink]).
Nokton 17.5mm f/0.95 ([shoplink 36581 ebay]here one Bay[/shoplink]).
Nokton 42.5mm f/0.95 ([shoplink 47609 ebay]here one Bay[/shoplink]).
SLRmagic 50mm f/0.95 ([shoplink 29455 ebay]here one Bay[/shoplink]).
SLRmagic 25mm f/0.95 ([shoplink 47610 ebay]here one Bay[/shoplink]).
