Shall we get to know each other a bit better so we can look beyond the opinion soup? How about I challenge you to a camera meet-up, forum style... 1. Show us a picture of your current most used camera and lens 2. Tell us a few facts about yourself! 3. What's your favourite music, favourite sport / team, other hobbies 4. What your hopes are for the future of EOSHD, what would you like me to cover - and the camera you are looking forward to most? 5. Tell me what you miss about your country and home town when you are not there 6. The year you first started reading EOSHD ***** To make each post easy to read please number the answers 1-6 ***** Go!

Hey Andrew, what a great idea! 1. my most used camera is the GX85 with either Fujinon Cmount 12.5mm 1.4 or boosted Canon FD 28mm F2.8. Most current camera is the Lumix S1 with different flavors of FD mount lenses like Vivitar 90mm Macro or Canon FD 20mm. Super fun focal lengths and lenses on the larger sensor. So here is a pic of my most recent camera which puts out an incredible image even in its 8bit 709 profiles, coupled with the Vivitar 90mm. 2. I´m a filming addict who needs his daily camera exercises. To this day I admire old school Eoshd articles and the film making essays of Tony Zhou, which are magnificiant for everyone who wants to learn film. Film making to me is a rather personal than industrial affair. I enjoy to be on creatively challenging sets with limited resources. Have been a gaffer for quiete a few gigs now and hope these guys don´t forget pay me back on my sets some day:) 3. favorite hobby is getting lazy and growing a belly.:) I love stills photography and used to love any kinds of sports. Favorite athletes are Katharina Witt, Mike Tyson and Zidane. 4. I am looking forward for EOSHD to stay welcoming towards different people, flavors and opinions other than mine.:) I wish for some friends to come back like @kidzrevil, @maxotics and others. I would love more articles of overseen gems and nerd machines like LX100, modded Sony A6000 or the Pentax lens which is a Zeiss. And most of all more film vignettes by Andrew Reid, the man himself! I would have loved a follow up blog post on the EOSHD 200EUR camera challenge. Would love more official and moderated challenges like that. 5. I miss certain things in culture, arts, solidarity, intellect, kindness and sensuality the most, since commercial culture and dull salesman blahblah and mentality have been pushing anything else aside. 6. First time reading Eoshd could have been around 2012 when reading about the GH2 on dpreview. Beautiful times! Now, interested in your posts, dear friends!

The Mevo Plus has a 4K sensor to be fair. https://mevo.com/mevo-plus/ Livestream themselves have a very sophisticated product called Studio that can switch multiple Mevos but can also do the multi angle crop trick on external cameras. Not sure it does the auto stuff though. Its free for subscribers to Livestream/Vimeo as well but that is a $70 a month cost if not. It does the multi cellular device bonding trick as well but only when streaming to Livestream itself. https://livestream.com/studio

I think anybody using the internal preamps and 3.5mm jack will be recording very casual audio anyway So does the quality even matter that much?

@Zach Goodwin2 Hallo Zach, you might like the Tokina 25-50mm F4 zoom. One of the fun finds by Andy Lee, who started this thread long time ago. You could get it in Pentax or Nikon mount and adapt it to your EF mount camera. You can get them for less than 15 dollars or even less than ten! Great 2x range and quality. Nice haptic quality and great size. Got mine for less than 15 bucks with shipping included!

Also, is there anywhere we could start a comprehensive list of current quirks? Something that could easily be referenced by Sigma to hopefully be addressed in future firmware updates. I feel like a lot of stuff has been mentioned here, but it's spread out over 50+ pages...

I have the prompt smart pro app (for android) and it does have that voice-follow feature. Been using it a lot lately. Sometimes it is glitchy. Also, they went from a one-time purchase of $20 to a yearly subscription model of $30 per year. It's a pretty good app overall and if you have a long script, then it might not be so bad. I think it is best for people who are adept at reading scripts because if the talent messes up, it is probably harder to back up then other teleptrompt apps. So if the talent is new to reading a script and will mess up a lot, then an app that is easier to "rewind" will be better. Although I think they might have a bluetooth-based scroller than can be used on a separate phone so that you can reqind / skip forward if you mess up. Prompt Smart pro is pretty good in that if they talent goes off script for a while and then goes back on script, the teleprompter will keep up with them. Meaning, it will pause in place when the talent goes off script, and start scrolling again when the talent gets back on script. Again, this is probably most usable for someone who is adept at reading scripts but also likes to make comments "on the fly" while recording.

New photo that I took with the Canon T2i Edmika FD 35-105 F/3.5

More stills from the progression of the pan. I'd upload a video, but the motion was nothing to write home about. Really just sweeping around finding interesting compositions at random. There's something appealing about the behavior of blues and teals using IPP2. It has a certain iciness to it that's hard to describe.

I totally forgot that Slog 3 exists due to the fact I'm used to running 8 bit cameras. But I've been testing it the last few days and am super impressed with how easily it grades. I made an Slog 3 LC 709 conversion lut for grading. I expose my Slog 3 on the Sony FS5 at 1.5 stops over. With Bright at 77 IRE - You can use a conjunction of AE shift and the variable ND filter set to auto to make exposing really easy. Only thing bad about Slog 3 is that its a bitch when trying to monitor. Its like comparing Slog 2 vs Cine 4. It's VERY flat which makes it hard to check focus. Conversion Lut - https://www.dropbox.com/s/6yrozb1z5olhez9/Slog3 LC 709 Correction.cube?dl=0 Just use a creative lut after you apply this one and with some minor exposure tweaking you should be good. (You will probably need to lower the Luts intensity)

That reminds me of a certain "news" network that was constantly warning Americans that Obama was coming to take their guns away, and that the Ebola threat was all Obama's fault. And was happy to support a president who flat out lied about Obama not being a US citizen. Fear mongering on a billion-dollar budget, indeed. Unfortunately, it appears that transmission from person to person is quite likely when someone who has Coronavirus is still asymptomatic. Because in the US we didn't rush to provide testing kits and have a comprehensive testing strategy, the spread of the disease is far worse than it had to be. I've seen on CNN's website interviews with people who have recovered from Coronavirus. They all have said the same thing: Don't get coronavirus. It sucks. Which is why we need medicare for all in the USA; so people will STOP being focused excessively on oneself and one's own family, to the detriment of others. The mortality rates of SARS and MERS were higher than Covid-19. But Coronavirus is much more contagious (at least in today's world). At the END of the SARS epidemic, only 8,000 people WORLDWIDE had tested positive for SARS. As of today, over 44,000 people have tested positive for Covid-19... in the USA alone. Worldwide over 400,000 people have coronavirus. So that is an infection rate of over 50 times what the infection rate was for SARS. (Most likely, the number of people who are infected is significantly higher and is severely under-reported, as countries like Iran, China, and North Korea are suspected of covering up the number of actual cases and deaths from Covid-19). And we should avoid another 12,469 deaths in the US by pretty much any means necessary. Swine Flu was horrible. Yeah, what we learned is that even after experiencing SARS, MERS, and Swine Flu, politicians will ignore the health of the people if they think that strong action to curb a pandemic would affect their ability to get re-elected. Absolutely NO ONE is obsessively trying to kill every single germ in their vicinity. What they are trying to do is get the governments (federal and local) to implement better testing and dedicate more resources to fighting this and other diseases. For the people who DIED of SARS, MERS, Swine Flu, and will die from Covid-19, the world will certainly come to an end for them.

New Yorker is a Left Biased magazine, you can not expect objectiveness from a media like that, obviously nobody except Left Biased people will believe on it. https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/new-yorker/
