Full review of the new CINE 10mm T/2.1 MFT lens by Benjamin Lebeau.

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).

GH4 shoots worldwide first drone porn video :)

Share

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…

I got a few tidbits about the video capabilities of the new Olympus OMD camera that will be announced in January:

It will be E-M5 successor with weather sealing and what is really important, it will be GH4 competitor, we are currently focusing on video capabilities, 4K is definitely FT5, and there will be option for 24/25/30 fps as well.

I am asking the anonymous source if he can send me some info ont he new sensor. Because I heard it’s quite “unique”!!! Thanks!

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 :(
