a bit of everything…

MFT shooter Chris Eyre-Walker shared this funny video:

Thought I’d share my latest short film with you. It’s about an adventure and landscape photographer who gets stuck at home in self-quarantine because of a massive outbreak of deadly diarrhoea virus, named the SH1T-Virus.
After several days he begins to lose his mind a little and toilet paper runs low…
Possibly inspired by true events.
FYI: it was shot on the Blackmagic URSA Mini Pro 4.6k G2 (s35 Sensor) but it’s full of M43 gear… so I leave it up to you to decide if it’s worth sharing.

Plenty of news on the facebook OMD group, Panasonic FF and the GH5 group.

Nokton 60mm f/0,95 MFT english press text

The new Nokton 60mm f/0,95 MFT lens is now shipping in Japan. We still got no pricing info for US and Europe but at least Voigtlander published the official English press text:

–

The NOKTON 60mm F0.95 is medium telephoto lens with a new design, exclusively for Micro Four Thirds mount cameras. The angle of view is 21.5°, which is equivalent to about 120mm in full frame conversion.

Among interchangeable lenses for full frame format sensors, there is almost no model that has the same optical specifications, which engenders very unique “bokeh” effect. With the NOKTON 60mm F0.95, you can enjoy shooting distortion free, upright posture and close positioning by keeping a working distance for portrait shooting, nature photo shooting, or studio-shooting. It boasts the perfect angle of view to ‘up shoot’ for video.

This lens is manual focus and employs a metal helicoid which can distinguish very sensitive focusing with maximum aperture. This silky feeling, which one can only realize by manual focus design, is one of the primary characteristics of Voigtländer’s new NOKTON 60mm F0.95
A minimum focus distance is 34cm and the maximum reproduction ratio is 1:4 (1:2 in full frame conversion.) Thus the 60mm F0.95 Nokton can be used as a large aperture macro lens! It also comes with a lens shielding hood which blocks a high level of stray light.
