A bit of everything…

Kuban (video on top): “Bit a short video I shot using the Olympus OMD EM 5 II, last weekend in London.
Simply testing out the camera’s video and HDMI clean feed, I couldn’t get that to work, but the camera performed really smoothly, all shots handheld in a run&gun style, filmed at 1920*1080 at 50fps then re-interpreted in 25fps in premier.”

Stephen: “My 2015 Rode Reel Submission, filmed with two Olympus E-P5. My first video production, based on an interview with my 99 year old Grandpa who still lifts weights, lives independently, and holds a valid driver’s licence. http://www.rode.com/myrodereel/watch/entry/635”

Dustin: “Wish I had the lowdown on new gear, but I want to make a contribution of work. I use the GH4 for my video marketing company Idaho Studio, idahostudio.com. I was going through some of my videos created to test out lenses, I thought this one still shined. Feel free to share. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTr_Jvl-1pc https://vimeo.com/116029111“

First GH4 (with V-Log) vs Sony A7s comparison.

Share

Nick Driftwood posted that “Panasonic GH4 V log L versus Sony A7s S Log 2” comparison video. He writes:

Here’s test number 1 of a few coming up. A rather quick ‘vanilla’ test done in the back garden of my 83 year-old father – both cameras using similarly matched lenses , shutter and aperture was adjusted to keep in accordance to the default recommended LOG ISO as given by each camera. Exposure was bang on 0 for each. Nothing else I will give away about the above…just yet!
Panasonic GH4 has ISO 400 in V Log L and Sony A7s has 3200 ISO.
A7s is a full frame, GH4 is a M43.
I may or may not have moved the position of the focal length of each lens.
GH4 lens was a 12-35 Panasonic lens and the A7s was a 24-70 Canon.
This is a fun test and not to be taken seriously by camera fanboys.
With a little adjustment (not shown) its fairly easy to make both cameras match each other during grading. :-)
3D LUTs employed: Panasonic VLog_to_V709_for_V35_ver100 & Sony FS55 1.From_SLog2-SGumut_To_LC-709 .cubes placed using LUT Utility plugin on FCPX.
NO OTHER GRADING DONE ON THIS
All 4K recordings were performed originally on an Atomos Shogun (zero’d) in 422 8-bit on the Sony A7S and 422 10-bit on the Panasonic GH4.

Great! Sigma patent discloses a new 35mm f/2.0 ART OS lens designed purely for Micro Four Thirds!

Share

Sigma_30mm_Art

For the first time Sigma patented a lens purely designed for the Micro Four Thirds mount. It’s a new 35mm f/2.0 ART lens! It comes with optical stabilization too. Total length of the lens is 5,77 cm.

This would become the very first MFT “Only” designed Sigma lens. Currently Sigma design their mirrorless lenses for both APS-C and Four Thirds sensor mirrorless system. This makes the MFT lens version bigger than actually needed. So let’s hope this one will become real soon!
