Thanks. I think that's everything now? Time to get that features table done now. Something along the lines of: Crop factor: 1.5 Max "usable, clean" ISO: 6400 4K rolling shutter: 22ms Max codec quality: 10bit, 4:2:0, 400Mbit ALL-I and so on...

Cheaper than an X-T3 at launch. Bargain alert! Much more capable specs than the Pocket 6K. Don't forget the cost of the screen and cage though.

No, because I use it on a proper camera with IBIS

Could be useful for 4K/60p as well, for a more natural motion blur in slow-mo shots. 180 deg shutter is 1/120 for 60p, which eliminates most of the nice 24p look.

When the cinema department and marketing department come together bad things happen. This kind of thing should have been STANDARD 5 years ago and today's version should be sleek as hell, perfect image, no latency, no wires, long battery life and all sorts of refinements. Maybe in another 5 years it'll be usable for day to day shooting?

I can see why it works well for the tommy guns I find it useful in low light - 1/25 means you can use a lower ISO All depends on the shot how it's going to turn out. Quick handheld camera movement looks a bit too blurry. 180 shutter is also too slow for some things... it all depends. Usually it's perfect. I am going to try shooting everything without NDs and using my own shutter speed in post, with the motion blur in Resolve Studio 16 working so well just now... It gives you ability to choose the look in post rather than have motion blur baked into the source material!

Yep. Definitely calms the image and blends away the staccato motion cadence. Maybe it's worth doing one pass on all clips - converting to ProRes from H.265 in the process too.

Excellent stuff guys. I'll give the techniques a go and write a blog about it.

I am experimenting with a few techniques to do this, but looking for suggestions. In VLC Player if you go into the effects panel where is a motion blur slider, and obviously if you put that on high it looks very over the top. However I found if I put it on very low, it really does reproduce the motion blur of 180 degree shutter, with footage shot at a fast shutter speed. The look is very authentic! However what should be easy in Premiere and Resolve never is. The tutorials I've seen all deal with adding motion blur in the Transform panel to moving layers. Not what we want. There is an echo tool, but that doesn't look any good at all - tons of ghosting and takes ages to render, won't play in real-time. So the question is - what plugin for Premiere or Resolve does what VLC Player does!?

CORRECT!! I have made EOSHD Pro Color for it.

Nope

Getting warmer but no!

The Bolex Moller 8/19 covers medium format at 100mm For such a small lens, it's crazy good.

Close but no cigar Nope Nope!

Ah I was thinking of the 16-D! Yes 16-H and 8z are the same. Actually I now prefer the Bolex Moller for the smaller size to my old Kowa... but the Kowa 2x glass is right up there with the Iscorama.

Nope! It is full frame though.

With computational photography, the look can be faked quite well even on an iPhone camera. So I am wondering in the future if AI will make anamorphic optics obsolete and we'll all be shooting spherical with a depth map. Until then better keep hold of my vintage glass by the sounds of it

Nope Nope Nope! Nope I'll give you a clue... 8bit codec.

I am just amazed they felt it necessary to release a 'cine' phone before they release the A7S III!

Last one for now.... Same camera... 4K frame grab from Premiere, exported as PNG. Be sure to give it a download and a good pixel peep.

Nope Have a guess at some of the specs and I'll say yes or no as a clue.

Click to enhance! Which camera is this from? Nice colour and detail. It is a 4K frame capture.

I would like to see the image in HDR 24p mode with that dual conversion gain enabled. Probably quite nice. Is low light still challenging with global shutter? The Blackmagic Production Camera 4K had a lot of ciruits on the front side taking up room. These are not BSI Sony chips are they?

well the Kowa 16-H is no benchmark. Kowa 8-Z is the better one. I'd like to try an Aivascope Mk3. Maybe they will improve it. How much will it sell for? For me there is not much affordable and modern that can beat the Bolex Moller 19 / 8 1.5x I got on eBay for £500. It's very sharp, nice coverage, you just have to make sure to pair it with the right spherical taking lens and front variable diopter. I have the Iscorama pre-36, the 36, the 54, Centavision 2x in Iscorama 42 housing with single focus mechanism, LOMO square fronts, and Kowa-8Z and they are all superb compared to what I have seen from the modern stuff. Baby Hypergonar is also a gem, with the right spherical behind it.

We can leave off crap from the list, no point adding some of the lame ones.
