The first 4K images are rolling off the 4K production camera, shot by Grant Petty himself no less. I'm hugely impressed with the image. It breaks new ground for resolution for an accessibly priced movie camera. The download is absolutely huge at 9GB. If you just want a glance at what's on offer, you're in luck because I'm going to guide you through the images now and do a bit of grading... Read the full article here

The purchase of a 40.5mm to 49mm step up ring will resolve your issue and no longer be a cause of annoyance :)

haha, :-) I Don't if its worth trying to calibrate or if its possible to successfully calibrate it. If there is acess to those controls then first step would be to download a couple of calibration images of some AV Home Cinema forum, the images with all the greyscale boxes on for setting brightness and contrast and see if the imac display can actually display them all after adjusting the hardware settings, if that's not possible then wouldn't waste any time trying to calibrate and profile it with a probe. May be better to just use a decent backlit LED domestic TV and calibrate / profile that. :-)

Why on earth would you want to use a dumb gimmick like creative filters? If you want to mess up the image then do it in post with the best possible image as shot. This silly stuff us just targeted at amateurs.

Calibration and profiling are two seperate things, to calibrate, ie: to set black and white levels requires access to hardware brightness, contrast, LED backlight, RGB gain and offset. Calibration gets hardware responsive to profiling and 3D LUT for display for Resolve after that. So does imac give hardware access to those?

I am sure a BMPCC guide would be great! Since it need more complex workflow than standard DSLR Anyway congratulations on finish the book! Just brought one!

Took mine already, Thank you very much Andrew!

I hope it's OK posting this under this topic: Is there a BMPCC Shooter's Guide planed or (perhaps) already in progres?

@citizenkaden Sure thing! But i didn't come across this it, instead Its my own first raw test! let me know what you think! http://osgfilms.com/blackmagic-pocket-cinema-first-impressions-color-graded/ Or just video |

I've just received the final version of the SLR Magic 17mm T1.6 ! FULL RESOLUTION ON MY FLICK'R http://flic.kr/s/aHsjP5jhLd Here is a sample at full aperture on OM-D E-M5 :) (first in small version, second in full)

From this morning :)

As far as I know it is Möller actually, can be written Moller without the accent or Moeller for more accurate pronounciation (ö=oe). Same thing.

More samples : :)

  More useful tips... sigh.   Don't forget to use actors, words and to take the lens cap off.

You guys are not getting the REAL concept of dynamic range. You guys are thinking that a great dynamic range is just a detailed sky or detailed shadow. Nope! When we talk about dynamic range we are talking about highlights, midtones and shadows - and the gradations between them - those are the steps of dynamic range.   If your camera has 8 stops of dynamic range in video mode, it doesnt matter what you will do in post, it will still have 8 stops.   When you expose your GH3 for the highlights and recover the shadows, you are NOT increasing your dynamic range. You have the same amount of stops. You are just favoring the highlights and the shadows. What happens then? You simply crush and destroy the midtones. In the video posted above you can clearly see that. In the video, everything looks like its made of plastic. You have no gradation in the midtones. The cars look like a colored stain.   The image is NOT cinematic at all. In the BMPCC you will have beautiful gradations well distributed in the highlights, shadows and midtones, and thats why they look cinematic.   So remember, good dynamic range is not about seeing the clouds or whats in the shadows, its all about having great gradations from the bottom to the top!
