Panasonic MEGA O.I.S. vs. POWER O.I.S. for video shooting

Panasonic Lumix DMC-G7 – In-Depth Review And Reappraisal Of An Underestimated Camera (Soundimagesplus).
Cinema Cameras: What Filmmakers need to Know (Explora).

Miguel Ortiz:History (https://vimeo.com/141315301), how it was made, in this picture: https://flic.kr/p/vFcxTb

Jim Chang: Over the years, I have collected many anamorphic projection lenses for my own video projects and experiment. But I have always been puzzled by adapting anamorphic projection lens to my taking lenses, even though I tried every type of adapter that I can buy, but I am still not fully satisfied. So I developed the Rapido Anamorphic Lens Adapter. Please check it out at www.rapidotechnology.com

Basically, the adapter offers:
1. a better concentric alignment
2. a more stable connection
3. a repeatable alignment: use the marker on the side of the inner ring for quick alignment
4. a reusable and more flexible solution: for different anamorphic lenses, just find the customized step-down ring, and connect to your existing Rapido Anamorphic Adapter, and you are done. No need different, some time hard to find adapter, for each of your anamorphic lens
5. a simple and easy online instruction with illustrations, to show you how to adapt each anamorphic lens at: www.rapidotechnology.com
Even though I tried to include all the anamorphic lens that I can find, but I know there are still some are left out, please let me know if you have some anamorphic lens you like to adapt, I typically finish design/manufacturing in 2-3 weeks.

Hope you will like it. Thanks”

Michael:Recently back from a few weeks in Afghanistan; here is a gallery: https://qamera.smugmug.com/Galleries/Afghanistan/. Scroll to the end to see some commentary on the very trim photography kit I used: two Olympus cameras (E-M1 and E-M10) and two lenses (12-40 f/2.8 and 75 f/1.8). Both performed wonderfully although I did have some issues with dust in the E-M10.  (I was waiting for an E-M5 II loaner but it did not happen).

Panasonic Lumix DMC-SZ10 Review (ePhotozine).
My Fuji vs. Olympus catch-22 (Eyesuncloudedphoto).

Adam (video on top): I recently decided to start creating videos for my youtube channel again and just uploaded a video comparing the Olympus 12mm f2 and the Tokina 11-16mm f2.8 with Metabones Speedbooster zoomed to 16mm for a comparable field of view. If you think your readers would be interested in seeing it please feel free to share it. If it gets positive feedback I’ll definitely continue making more videos in the same vein.
