Nope. Those questions were all deflected like water on wax. On other news. You now can pay for framing guide from Canon to the tune of $120. Oh yeah, you have to send your camera in too (and pay for shipping). Tell me, are there any companies that offer that offer framing guides when you buy the camera?

When I read about the Canon frame guide cost, I figured there was probably a business opportunity for somebody who would print custom frame guides on static cling film or something similar.

Yes. The Steelsring adapter is also great, but they haven't updated the firmware in a while and there are occasional fuck-ups with it - like the Canon 40/2.8 in photo mode on my 100 II kept going to minimum focus and just staying there (if I turned on autofocus, manual focus worked fine). Worked fine in video mode, though. I should see if they ever updated the firmware on the Techart. I have one around here somewhere and I stopped using it when other adapters got PD support and it didn't. Maybe they finally fixed that. Any time you're curious about whether a given lens will cover the sensor on a GFX, btw, there's a community google spreadsheet which is pretty comprehensive. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1uxvvpxJ9QVFFyh0pW2rs9KBmUW9vlh-d-VnbcLDCTn8/edit?gid=0#gid=0 I was just looking at it again and realized that the FD 20mm f/2.8 actually covers the full sensor. Now I have to check if I actually have that one (I think I do?)... could be a fun look on the GFX. But if you want a 24mm EF lens that covers, I think your only option will be one of the PC/TS lenses. They have huge image circles. Won't be an f/1.4, though.

Any question about upcoming release? (The elephant in the room)

After watching the live stream, Sean (of Lumix) said the two new cameras released this week were good sellers in the past and they expect this minor update will keep them as decent sellers into the future. Basically, they're still marked as "available". I'm going to speculate they wanted to change one or two things on them (to make them more competitive of sorts) and they simply had to give them a new product name. Legal made them put the USB-C (with USB 2 speeds). No, they aren't for us- they're for basic consumers.

Nope. I bought it as a pure stills machine and I will stop there so as not to pollute this thread with dirty Sony talk.
