By cropping slightly more and upscaling slightly to 4K.

So the 4K crop modes are 1.33 not 1.5? I thought this time it was using the S35 standard in 4K crop mode - like every other camera. But no, they kept the weird 1.33x crop? Even though it has a full frame mode? I have more than one machine. The other one is a Windows machine with RTX 2080 Ti. I'll try it on that. I don't have much appetite for 2400Mbit/s file sizes in RAW though to be honest. 500Mbit/s on the 1D C was bad enough with MJPEG. So mainly a 10bit H.265 camera for me. I think in that respect, GFX 100 is much better.

If this shot is still then the Hasselblad lenses use a leaf shutter inside the lens. It could be a problem with that, or it could be a problem with the timing of the shutter in relation to the capture by the sensor. Has not happened yet with my HC lenses on the GFX 100

It isn't about me. Every thread has at least 5 pages of your opinion in it. Reams and reams of postulating from an armchair. People are not looking to read what you had for breakfast People are looking for actually useful camera information in each topic. ???? Yeah life is too precious to be wasted. YOU GOT IT

I think the bullshit in this topic is putting me in a very difficult position. The original story is about DPReview locking a protest photographer's thread on their forums. And now this one has died with such ugly bullshit remarks I may have to lock it. And then people are going to cry hypocrisy. All I can say is, there is no free speech for racists.

Chit chat, in every thread makes it hard for readers to research topics and find info. so please my appeal to you is find a more useful way of posting in general... like the guy with the lenses above because for every Single interesting post on this damn forum there is your gobbledegook sat right next to it

What is this adding to the topic?

If we're going to make assumptions about my character, how about I make some assumptions about yours! You just had a very high profile murder of a black man in your country and not once have you condemned it. So why don't we start by you condemning that, just so we can get the racist stuff out the way so we can carry on talking cameras?? Or is your love of Trump making you tongue tied?

The 1D X III has a single processor which is much faster than the dual processors in the prior models. Canon explains this in their white paper. They don't however explain what core count the CPU has. Probably a lot more than two.

It's really odd that you think my motivation for starting this topic is because I feel "left out" of the Zoom conference between DPReview's chief salesman and Cinema5D's chief salesman. Nothing would fill me with more dread being stuck in a video with that pair. I can assure you of that.

Rather than the rather heavy expander and loss of brightness, I'm waiting to see if Fuji bring a 35mm crop mode to 4K on the GFX 100.

Ever thought of actually contributing?

I still don't see the link with this topic. Easiest thing for me would be to kiss these camera industry writer's asses and reap the reciprocal links and quid-pro-quos. This video is one twat interviewing another in a circle jerk. I am not interested in that. I am infamous for not being interested in it. So what's Blackmagic got to do with it. You're saying I was butt hurt not being invited to try the new Pocket 4K when it came out? Damn right I was fucking pissed off. They deprived me of the chance to cover the new camera, because they knew I'd be honest about it. That's how PR works my friend. And they deprived all of you, the review too. And then I had to spend £1300 buying the potato just to see that it was in fact all I feared. And 6K situation was even worse. It didn't work properly and Blackmagic, rather than listen and sort it out, decided to berate me *in person* instead at IBC. Do I feel happy that a company who doesn't value me as a customer, and *before any falling out* decides to actively snub EOSHD as a long-time blog resource for Blackmagic, with a thread of 1.2m views on just one camera? No I don't. So what are you suggesting I do next then? Kiss their ass? Play the game? FFS get a clue.

Thousands and thousands of incidents of racist police brutality and it all passed you by? You'll be denying the slave trade next.

I have ZE version of it. Wonder if they're much different? Total gem between 50-70 in my experience with @BTM_Pix at the F1 A must have. Good to know thanks. Another one I was considering for mine. Are the corners decently sharp at F1.8 or muddy? Voigtlander 40mm F2.0 Ultron EF works better with no hard vignette. It vignettes massively unfortunately! Those 4 are the best I've tried. And the 55mm F1.7 of course. Interesting. Seem to remember mine vignettes quite a bit. The 55 1.2 Aspherical is the one to get. It's meh on the GFX. Nice on full frame. Please try to remember I have this over in Berlin, will try it. Contax Yashica version of 85 1.4 also works really beautifully. Thanks very useful. Nice collection of glass!!

Good luck. It's a Canon! Yes hope GH6 is still on. Been a while now since the GH5. Probably waiting for Sony to launch A7S III first. But for that to happen, Sony first have to pull it out the bin.

Ah I see. Those are very old adapters and low end. Kipon has come a long way since.

Clear zoom is useful for C-mount lenses on the Sony A7 series. Maintains a nice 4K image even in 2x crop mode. However for further than that you may as well crop in post. You start losing detail in-camera and in-post, so best to leave it as a last resort editing choice, rather than bake the longer shot into your footage.

An extra crop mode can be turned on in all video modes on the X-T4, so it's not limited to just 4K/60p or slow mo 240 Ha! Know what you mean there. Almost TOO sharp.

Aperture ring on an EF adapter? 🤔

Pentax 67 adapts to Pentax 645 so you just buy that adapter tube, and stick it on the Kipon speed booster. So there is the Kipon full frame one for S1 and Nikon Z6... I have the Nikon version from them. And there is the monstrous GFX speed booster for Pentax medium format lenses too And that's the one I want next Kipon doing an amazingly wide range of adapters at the moment.

I left my Blackmagic on the old firmware to keep Cinema DNG. Can you roll back to old one if you install the latest? If so how do you find the old file? 120fps in 2.6K is a cropped window right? 75fps at 4096 x 1720 sounds great though. No time yet but seems good at first impressions. Battery compartment is a bit wobbly and build quality feels a bit cheap but it's a big step up from the single Canon battery in terms of capacity with the Sony FP-550s.

So far I find the image not a HUGE step up from 1D C, while very good in 4K and 5.5K RAW especially, the 1D C MJPEG 4K 8bit stands up well today. The 1080p is pretty naff and not any better than the original 1D X and 1D X II 120fps. No 4K crop though, and H.265 offers much more manageable file sizes. The 10bit is better for Canon LOG. I found myself with a lot of the recent mirrorless cameras 'hankering' for my 1D C. Not very rational! But I love the chunky DSLR build quality, OVF and the 1D C's thick chunky image, big files, amazing colour, so cinematic. Maybe the 1D X Mark III will be thought of in the same way once I've finished comparing it to the Sony A9, A7 III, Leica SL2 and Fuji X-T4. I'll have to keep giving it the benefit of the doubt for now. It replaces quite a lot of my stills cameras so may justify itself that way too. Don't forget to add £500 per 512GB CFexpress card to the price though.

No the Fringer adapter isn't a cheaper Metabones Speed Booster adapter. It is a very high quality autofocus adapter like the Sigma MC-11 or Metabones Smart AF adapter for E-mount. It does not have any glass in it so your 35mm lens on the X-T4's APS-C size 1.5x crop sensor has the field of view of a 50mm on full frame.

The punch in option is about 2x crop on the X-T4, so that is further into your prime than 1.5x crop on A7S II. If you have a 35mm wide angle lens on the A7S II you get 50mm in crop mode. On the X-T4 due to the smaller sensor compared to full frame, you'd need a wider lens than 35mm to get the same equiv. focal length to full frame. I.e. you'd need 24mm * 1.5x = 35mm The 2x crop mode this 24mm lens would become a 48mm FOV. So it's the same situation as the A7S II just different choice of lens. (Or the same choice of lens if you use a Speed Booster) Confused yet?
