Nocturne (BMCC & SLR Magic 10mm T2.1) from Benjamin Lebeau on Vimeo.

Benjamin Lebeau (Click here) posted the full review of the new SLR Magic Hyperprime CINE 10mm T/2.1 MFT lens:

The lens is overall pretty sharp, with a little bit of softness (particularly on the edges) when wide open. If you don’t want any softness, you’ll need to stop down to around T4-5.6, which is what I shot for all of the daytime shots in the video. If you’re in the market for a strong wide lens to combat your MFT crop, this is an excellent option.

You can preorder the lens at BHphoto (Click here).

That’s a classic example of a relatively boring video that goes viral on the web. That’s because it’s the first porn video shot on a drone :) The filmmaker used the GH4 and the 14mm lens to realize the shortfilm. You can watch the full video over at TheNakedCamera.com.
Anyway, there is really not a lot to see. Actually the landscapes is more interesting than the small tiny couples you see on the distance…

Temujin (video on top): “I thought you might be interested in this documentary film I shot in Antarctica on the GH3. The lowest temperatures the camera experienced was about -40¢ªC (but this does not factor in wind chill, so it might have been a bit lower)”

Despite a huge drop on the US market the overall worldwide mirrorless shipments keep growing compared to August. Particularly the European shipments had a big jump. But it’s still a long way to go before Mirrorless will catch up with DSLR sales. And The overall system camera market is still shrinking compared to 2013. Both DSLR and Mirrorless sales are lower compared to the same month 2013 :(

A newly published Olympus patent (Source: Egami) discloses the design of a new “Lens-Camera”. It works just like the [shoplink 48340 ebay]Sony QX lenscameras (here on eBay)[/shoplink]. I guess this kind of product will be announced soon as Olympus already showed a similar version with their Open Platform camera. This is Olympus answer to the dying compact camera market. But I really don’t know if that is really the right solution…

Daniel: “I just wanted to share with you a short video I created using the now very cheap GH3! I sure would love to upgrade to the GH4 but I would love to share what is still possible with what you have :)
I also have a updated photo gallery all shot with micro four third cameras!. I have own a Gf1, EM-5, and a GH-3. If you find my work of interest at all feel free to share. Thank you for your time.

TriNavi: “Just wanted to let you know that the Panasonic LX100 and Leica D-lux will have only 50 euro price difference in Verkkokauppa.com, the largest retailer in Finland.  http://www.verkkokauppa.com/fi/search?q=lx100 The D-lux package includes Adobe Lightroom. With such small price difference, I think many will choose the Leica over the Panasonic even if they already have Lightroom.”

Nicholas: “The Olympus EM-5 never gets any love for its video quality but I think a lot of people tend to look at things from too high a vantage point. https://vimeo.com/105802470”

Elvis: I’ve recently released my first feature film that was shot on the Pansonic GH3 (and the GH2 for a few scenes). It’s available free on Vimeo just in case you might want to share it in the “A bit of everything” posts! http://projections.augustproject.org”

James: “A short film about despair, hope, and redemption which uses the GH3 and 12-35mm 2.8 lens for some key shots. http://vimeo.com/109902598“
