Simple solution No 2, requires some Blue Peter skills :)   First study the image below,     Compare the front of this Zeiss with the front glass in Kowas, Sankors , Mollers blah blah.   Figured it out yet?   Now the good folks at Carl's place in Jena knew a thing or two about optics....   What you need to do is cut out a hole in a piece of black cardboard using a compass and sharpie to make an aperture mask. Tape off the sides with some gaffer tape until you find the best point where the reflections disappear.     I really ought to get paid for telling y'all this....    :P   and if someone decides to start making these - remember you owe me.

  Panasonic apparently pixel binds 2x2 pixels to reduce the sensor's full resolution to 1/4 before reading the sensor (approximately 12Mp to 3Mp for the GH3), then further reduces that when processing to "FullHD" (about 2Mp). - http://www.imaging-resource.com/news/2012/09/28/qa-with-panasonic-the-story-behind-the-new-gh3-and-compact-system-tech   Also Panasonic claimed disabling the multi-aspect feature of the sensor helps them improve their sensor reads, enabling 1080p60 as well as a cleaner image.  This makes sense since the GH2 had to down res approximately 3.5Mp to 2Mp with an older processor while the G6 will be converting 3Mp to 2Mp with a newly developed processor designed to further increase signal to noise, preserve details in noise reductions and widen dynamic range.  Checkout the G5 since it also used the GH2 sensor with supposedly better results, and it did it without this new processor. (I'm still trying to track down where I read all this so take it with a grain of salt)   Can't help to think this could be Panasonic trying to show off what they can do with their own hardware technology, vs the Sony sensor in the GH3, justing on the specs and price Panasonic seems to be ok "cannibalizing" some of the GH3 sales to make this point. 

It is made for Shane Hurlbut. That's all.

This is a must read, if you haven't already...   http://davidbordwell.net/books/poetics_10cinemascope.pdf   He talks in detail about the compositions favored by the format.  

I follow various posters periodically.  Congratulations to Joel Leang on his award at the 46th annual Houston Film Festival!  Remi Winner.  Cheers. https://vimeo.com/57786264

shame as i could of done you a deal one for 64p 2 for a pound :lol:

Luke Neumann commented on the Nofilmschool article that he thinks there's roughly two stops more exposure latitude possible with the DNG files. Crazy stuff.

ROD! Sorry it's late in Berlin and been a crazy few hours :)

Updated the article, there's a mirroring option which allows the LCD to stay on whilst outputting to a recorder so you don't actually need a monitor.

Installed and running.  The HDMI signal from the camera is showing no overlays and image is edge to edge on a 1920x1080 TV.  It was nice to find the new "Mirroring" menu option.  In the pic below, the camera is connected to the monitor and the LCD remains on.  When I press record, both stay on, however the red  recording dot only showed up on the camera LCD.        

There's gotta be some where else in London than those guys?!   Have you tried Van Diemen? http://vandiemenbroadcast.co.uk/   They have a few used Angenieux lenses for sale, so they must have some experience!

why does everyone need peaking? - just focus it with your eyes - people have been doing that for over 100 years on film !! it works!!   Technology is making people lazy!

so I ordered a nice external monitor from eBay and it's great but I didn't realize it had to be plugged in to be used. It uses a 12 volt plug but I didn't know if there was a wayto use a portable battery so I don't have to plug it in. it's a Manhattan 8.9 1080 p
