No only the GH4 actually The G7 doesn't have the advanced in-camera picture controls to make it suitable for the LOG Converter.

Yes all correct sir. Also you can apply the LOG LUT in the transcode, then you get the LOG ProRes as if it has come straight from the camera as LOG. I prefer to edit ProRes to H.264. 4K bogs down too much in H.264 on my Macbook Pro. In actual fact you don't need to understand any of this, or anything about LOG and LUTs as the instruction manual that comes with the EOSHD LOG Converter has a beginners tutorial on this stuff.

Nice to have LUTs working with the GH4. Who needs V-LOG now

Here's a quick example - fixing yellow cast of original shot by converting GH4 footage to LOG in Premiere (based on Canon LOG) and applying my 1D C LUT. Forgive my rather crowded LUT folder

I'm working on an edit as we speak. It transforms skin tones. Much less yellow cast to warm hues.

Great, glad Vegas users can join the party. Does it support both an Input LUT and Output LUT or just one at a a time? What is it with these NLEs like FCPX and Vegas that don't have the absolute basics built in? And Vegas comes from Sony whose cameras shoot LOG!

Personally I would take the GH4 if it were similarly priced to what you would spend on that A7R! It's not a great image.

That's more like it. You need to shoot some more colour though, too much green!

Haha amazing shot.

Thanks for trying it. 25fps for 25p is realtime encoding so actually rather good... was that for H.265 to Prores?

Useful to know, thanks Mattias

Yep that's all. It is explained in the book for Windows users with Premiere. If anyone can point out a good transcode tool for H.265 which can apply a LUT like EditReady but for Windows, do let me know as I am mainly on a Mac and my PC is Windows 10. This wasn't compatible with 10. Anyone with 7 may wanna give it a go and report back - http://hdcinematics.com/convert-V2.html

Thank you for drawing it to our attention.

I don't use any of the Samsung S zooms... too big an investment just for one camera when I have so many other lenses I'm afraid. 16-50mm F2.0-2.8 is nice. I just don't think it is particularly good value for money. Video below is how to apply a built in REC 709 LUT to LOG footage in FCPX. Note you will need to use EditReady to apply the custom GammaDR2LOG LUT that I created, then select S-LOG 2 or Canon LOG in FCPX, then grade it in the colour correction effect. Let me know if it works. Alternatively there are LUT plugins for FCPX like this one: http://www.colorgradingcentral.com/lututility With that you can load any LUT you like and are not restricted merely to turning LOG footage into Rec.709 which is what the presets built into FCPX do.

Yes but the zoom barrel is very wonky so image jumps about...so not artistic

Second video is much nicer. Wow. That is one hell of a clean 1080p image going on. Wonder why Canon themselves talked it down?! Clearly they want us to buy the Cinema EOS cameras for video, don't they. Even to the point of them claiming their flagship DSLR has moire... when actually it looks to do far better full frame internal 1080p than the 1D X, 1D C, GH4 and 5D Mark III put together.

The 10mm is the best, especially for 2.3x crop 4K. Both very cinematic looking lenses with character and very good build quality. If you want to avoid the fly by wire Lumix focus rings it's also a good choice.

Yes Wolf but I am pretty sure all cameras have hot pixels on long exposures in the darkest blacks 3 stops under, it is just removed in software and because ACR hasn't caught up yet it is not doing the job right or even at all for the A7R II.

This is interesting. I will try a few wider lenses with the RangeFinder and see how it goes. I briefly tried the FM. Wasn't impressed. The Retilux looks better than I expected from Zak's test that's for sure! The Zeiss 80mm F1.8 Jena DDR was backed onto the Speed Booster XL for this shoot.

My criticism still stands. You're saying it's a problem. Not in the real world.

Killer nightscape beast sounds like a good film idea

What are you using to convert from H.265 by the way? Some apps crush the blacks even further.

How have you managed to fly under my very well evolved bastard detector radar for 196 posts?

Sometimes yes! I know what you're implying... Landscape photography should have infinitely deep DOF and must be as high resolution and as sharp as possible... blah blah blah. Real artists make their own rules.
