Having done all my other projects in HD or UHD, I decided to take a look at what Cinema 4K offers (I know, late to the party). I shot footage at both 23.98 and 24p, and while I can’t quantify the reason, I definitely prefer the latter. Although the test shows some weakness, in particular the handling of the large LCD screens in Penn Station, I really like the wider aspect ratio of C4K, and overall I’m very happy with the results. Not something I would consider for paid gigs unless requested, but for personal anamorphic projects, looking forward to shooting a lot more footage.”

A newly published Sigma patent discloses the optical design of a 45mm f/1.2 MFT lens. If you compare the patent design (image on top) with the actual Olympus 45mm f/1.2 PRO lens design you will see they perfectly match.
This isn’t the first time we found a Sigma patent having the Olympus lens design. We also published the Sigma 8mm PRO lens patent here. And also Panasonic makes use of Sigma designs (see 12mm f/1.4 patent).
It means Sigma is the secret king in the MFT lens world :)
