Ben sent me his valuable insights on the GH5:
My name is Ben Pendlebury and I’m a wedding videographer from a city called Derby in the UK. I’ve been filming weddings for over four years now and last year I switched over from Canon to a full GH5 set-up. I’ve really fallen in love with this camera and after using it for over six months, I was keen to make a Youtube review, talking about the good and bad things about the camera from a wedding videographer’s point-of-view.
I’ve spent a long time making the video and have included lots of b-roll showing the camera in use, as well as footage captured at weddings:
Joe posted this on Reddit:
I recently re-did my website mmcalc.com.
mmCalc is a 35mm lens equivalent and crop factor calculator. Simply input your lenses focal length, the size of your sensor, and what the maximum aperture of your lens is and you’ll get what the lens would be in terms of 35mm full-frame. mmCalc also provides a crop factor calculator that allows you to input the dimensions of your sensor and find out what the exact crop factor is. If you’re unable to calculate for you lens with the pre-defined values, mmCalc also provides a completely customizable calculator that allows you to input your own crop factor, aperture, focal length, and even sensor dimensions.
In addition to standard sensors (m43, aps-c, 1/2.3″, etc), mmCalc also provide calculations for medium and large format sensors. It also has both an Android and iOS app.
This is the best crop factor calculator I have seen yet.

TLDR: “I bought an early review unit of the Commlite Speedbooster for MFT cameras, its similar in price and performance to the popular Viltrox EF-M2 speedbooster. I have made a video on it, not sure if its something your readers would enjoy, but wanted to give back to the community for all the wonderful information you have made available here.
