John: “I just did a little short film with the EM5 MARK II, using the new FLAT profile and an external Blackmagic ProRes recorder. https://vimeo.com/178135545
I’m about to write a blog post on the details, but it was a three day shoot, no crew other than an assistant and the two cast and no tripod !”

Dustin: “I’m always on your site to keep up to date with our m43 gear. I’d love to share a video shot on the GH4, we solely shoot with that camera since it’s release. I’m sure I’ll learn of the GH5 right here in the next few months!https://vimeo.com/177937482

Aqua Sulis – Anamorphic Sketch from Jurek Ugarow on Vimeo.

Jurek (video above): “Just completed a 12 day trip that took me through Iceland and onto England for a wedding. Purchased a GX85 just before I left to use as a B cam to my GH4, and for use where stabilization was essential. The camera performed amazingly well, even with its stock 12-32mm zoom. While I was in England, I had a few free hours to film in a part of the country I use to live during the 70’s. I was particularly interested in how the camera might shoot anamorphic footage on a very light and portable tripod. Here is the result, using equipment that fits easily into a small backpack.

SLR Magic 1.33x anamorphic adapter (3-screw version)

This isn’t an exciting lens for MFT folks. Samyang just announced a Full Frame 20mm f/1.8 and T/1.9 Cine version. It will be available in native MFT mount too but this is a huge FF lens “adapted” to MFT :(

Pascal: “Hello, I am a french video and travel enthusiast, and I would like to share with your viewers two short video clips I made after a road trip in Cape Verde and in Sicilia in March and May. These 2 different places offered me both a really great travel experience.
Sicilia: https://vimeo.com/174676940
Cape Verde: https://vimeo.com/162249408
I shot the video with a Gh4 and a Gm5 with 4 lenses (12-35 2.8, 25 mm 1.4, 42.5 mm 1.7 and 45-175 mm)
I must say I am pretty impressed with the video quality of the tiny Gm5 (sure it’s only full Hd but it mixes pretty well with the Gh4 footage).”

Stephen: “Here is a video I was hired to do for the Isle of Wight Mardi Gras.  Unfortunately I was only able to capture the preparations as the parade was cancelled due to lightning and torrential rain.  Horrible weather to work in.  Too bad, as all the kids and organisers put tonnes of time into preparations.  Handheld using two GX80 with the Panasonic 12-35/2.8 and 35-100/2.8 lenses (the LX100 for time-lapse).  https://youtu.be/ohVyjbQoxhs or vimeo: https://vimeo.com/176550457“
