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”

Share

[shoplink 56059 ebay]Bildschirmfoto 2015-10-14 um 10.13.46[/shoplink] The [shoplink 56059 ebay]Olympus Pen EED film camera[/shoplink] had a built-in viewfinder.

In early Spring 2016 Olympus will announce the very first PEN camera with built-in viewfinder! Finally we will get a digital [shoplink 56059 ebay]Olympus Pen EED[/shoplink] version :)

That’s definitely a welcome addition and finally we can have some major change on the PEN line. Would be also nice to get some new sensor tech too :)

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).
