Kevin: “I dont think you have mentioned this but shane hulbert the renowned cinematographer has been putting m43 lenses through their paces on the gh4. aparently his look at olympus glass will be interesting: hurlbutvisuals.com”

Amadeusz: “Short (2 min) documentary shot in 4K entirely on Panasonic LX100. It was originally meant for a competition, that’s why it’s only 2 min but we’re working on a longer version too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKaD8BI5izU”

Michael: “GH4 optimal setting – works in stills and other cameras too: www.supertone.dk”

Ray: “With Olympus announcing the EE-1 dot sight, I found it quite ironic that only weeks before I’d ventured into modifying a gun sight to achieve the exact same purpose, using similar technology. For your readers who may be interested in how I went about doing this, with an E-M1 and 90-250mm f2.8 lens, I’ve put together a story on my blog: http://australianimage.com.au/wordpress/?p=4272. If nothing else, it may give your readers some information on how these work and what to be aware of if considering the EE-1. I’ll follow up with actual usage reports on my blog.“

During his speech at the CP+ show Mr. Ogawa from Olympus said that they will likely launch a special 80th anniversary camera model sometimes this year. He didn’t share any ulterior detail about the camera. But I hope it’s more than just a strnage painted camera :)

Veydra announced the new 85mm T/2.2 MFT Cine lens. This is the official description text from Vedyra:

The Veydra Mini Prime 85mm T2.2 is a telephoto focal length for Micro 4/3 cameras. Equivalent to the field of view for a 170mm lens in Full Frame 35mm stills format, this lens is perfect for detail, portrait and longer shots where a tight field of view is required.
Purpose built for cinema acquisition applications, all Veydra lenses feature constant volume focus, 0.8 cinema pitch gears on the iris/focus rings, constant T-Stop, and common front diameter for quick lens changes in a production environment.
All Veydra lenses exceed 4K resolution and are constructed of the finest grade aluminum and optical glass elements with multi-coating for color consistency.
Veydra lenses are designed with quality and value in mind. All Veydra products are priced at the absolute minimum retail price to help you achieve your creative vision.

This is already their sixth(!) MFT Cine lens and most of them will ship soon. Check out their shopping site at veydra.com/product-category/optics/

Jason: “Hi 43Rumors, here’s just a short student film I made recently. It’s shot entirely on the Panasonic GH4 and it’s a comedy film that parodies the common tropes of horror movies. Hope you will enjoy it! http://youtu.be/y3QUKlbneRI”

Taylor: “I recently shot a bunch of video while traveling through Guatemala on a GH4 and used a Ronin for much of it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DJYZfgxkEs”

Dpreview interviewed Mr. Setsuya Kataoka from Olympus. These are some of the interesting information he shared:

1) Future OM-D cameras will be able to create multi-shot high resolution images in such a short time that photographers will be able to use the feature handheld.

2) The most important development of the OM-D E-M5 ll is not the High Res Shot mode itself, but the improvements that have been made to the 5-Axis image stabilization system that makes the High Res Shot function possible.

3) The advantage that the improved 5-axis image stabilization system gives OM-D E-M5 ll photographers outweighs simply having more pixels because it produces better detail in images than a full frame DSLR can handheld

4) It is the limitations of the sensor that prevent Olympus from offering ISO 100 but Olympus hopes this will change very soon.

5) Touch AF: Their suppliers are working on making the touch function available right to the edges of the screen.

6) When asked if he would like to make a digital version of the [shoplink 51548 ebay]OM-4[/shoplink], with minimal buttons and no rear screen he said that he would love to and that he had been thinking about it for a long time, but he added that he’d have to concentrate on products that make a profit first!
