Maybe he's buying the $2000 one?   Btw, I know one for sale for €450. Not on eBay. If anyone is interested send me a PM.

I'm having an email conversation with someone about buying an interesting piece of glass. Not on eBay.   He's suggesting http://lassped.com/ to ship it. The promise of the site sounds interesting:       The website looks like a quick job though, not to professional. The domain is registered in China, I can't find any experience with this 'service' on Google. Their office locations don't look like offices (street view), can't find any refferences anywhere. Sounds like a big scam to me. I'm not gonna thrust my money with that.

And a bag of sd cards. I don't think this is a very practical camera for your use.   http://vimeo.com/72909876

It's not attached in my setup. That wouldn't allow any movement and you need some movement for focussing. Or you have to use a lens that doesn't move at all while focussing.

What a drama... I can't really understand why all this personal stuff is relevant, or should be laundered like that. Professional.

Probably a lot of people want an Iscorama because everybody wants it ;)

  I think the G6/GH2 don't fall under the 'not an implementation as bad as we find on most current DSLRs' category :)

Good news on the 50D front, Mosaic Engineering is working on a filter: http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=5586.msg68359#msg68359

Impossible. Like you said, the problem is the distance to the sensor. There's no way to fix this. Or you have to hack off your Canon EF mount and MacGuyver something yourself :)

Just watched Killing Them Softly (2012). I liked the movie a lot, but absolutely loved the look! Anamorphic porn :)   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDyaNnrgdp4   I was curious about the cinematography. Found a nice article about it, very interesting: http://www.theasc.com/ac_magazine/October2012/KillingThemSoftly/page1.php#   It's shot on Kodak film with Panavision lenses, but actually they started testing with those lenses on a 5D II and they wanted to recreate the 5D look with film :lol:       Here's a shot that shows this:       Anyway, check the link above and read it all.   I found it interesting to see so much shallow dof in an actual movie. And I have to admit, I loved it :)        

There's a new E-M1 coming soon: http://www.43rumors.com/ft5-olympus-e-m1-gets-leaked/

Sounds (very) far fetched to me. Why would Sony be bothered by exposure lock on a GoPro?

Consider the Nikon D5200 and D7100. Best aps-c sensor on the market (raw image quality), great autofocus (for photography), no problems with moire, although I hear some complaints about shadow banding noise.

I'd say go for the Canon 5D Mark III if that's within the budget. Your Nikkors will work fine with a simple adapter. No hassle with a filter, and as a bonus you get raw video.... :)

Oh nvm, I thought it linked to this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-Russian-vintage-projection-anamorphic-lens-attachment-LOMO-35-NAP2-3M-/390618820962

I don't see the problem?   Those LOMO 35-NAP2 lenses go cheap all the time. True, usually a bit more expensive, but still. It's a huge 2.7kg projection lens, not very popular I think...?   His full contact info is there, he has a full store with all kinds of stuff and feedback, you can pay with paypal... whats the fuss?

The Sony's haven't been announced yet, they will be in the beginning of september.   The QX100 is basically a Sony RX100 II. It has the same lens, sensor, battery, sd-card, but no screen. I'm curious if it will shoot raw (afraid it won't). The big question: what's it gonna cost? If it's substantially less than a RX100 II, and if it works on non-Sony phones/tablets, I might be interested.   And I think they should make a pancake version with the same 1-inchsensor (to keep things small) and a fixed focal lenght. Put that into a grip housing, like Nokia has for the 1020.     The WVIL video is fake, confirmed by the makers.  

If you're feeling adventerous, you could build a custom camera based on a Flea3: http://ww2.ptgrey.com/USB3/Flea3 They come with all kinds of small sensors.   See: http://www.eoshd.com/comments/topic/2874-my-miniraw-1-camera-needs-help/

Panasonic GH2/GH3/G6 with ETC mode enabled?

  Moiré on the G6? No way. It's basically the same sensor as the GH2 (but improved on some points!). I'm pretty sure it must have been the GH3 you've been hearing people grumble about. It does show moire in some cases with very sharp lenses.   With a Panasonic G6 you don't need the VAF... just buy the body and you're done. I don't see the sense in a 600D + VAF.

  I don't think there is anything wrong with your exposure. This probably looks like what you got on your camera:   [URL=http://www.eoshd.com/comments/gallery/image/670-exposure/][/URL]   Look at the settings lower left - this is the BMD Film color space. I get the same waveform as HurtinMinorKey with the Rec709 setting (default I guess).   I can't find anything weird in this clip either. But in the video this shot doesn't have the static so it might not be the best example.

My first observations:   Moire/Aliasing seems to be very well controlled, like all the Panasonic sensors (GH2, G6). Detail wise it looks pretty much the same as the G6 to me, which is pretty damn good...   Since the stabilisation doesn't work in video mode I don't see much reason to get the GX7 over the G6 for video though. It's more a Photographers camera. There is no mic input on the GX7 for example.   Interesting thing is that the EVF has a native 16:9 aspect ratio. Doesn't make sense for photographers (as it's a 4:3 camera).   Will shoot some clips soon and put it next to a Panasonic G6.

Btw, didn't you get a copy of Resolve (full version) with your BMCC? With the lite version you are limited to 1080p.

Curious to see a DNG sequence too. It looks like the effect you get when you lift shadows a lot. But more like the behaviour you would expect from an 8-bit cam. Transfer a dng clip to yourself with wetransfer.com and drop the link here I'd say.   Does AE use Camera Raw for the DNG's? In that case, is it possible the 'Auto exposure' setting is enabled?

I don't think so.   I downloaded the raws from ephotozone (changed the exif of the GX7 raw file to make the raw converter believe it's a Panasonic G6 file to open it in Photoshop).   The exposore is different for both files though. 1/160 for the Olympus vs 1/200 for the GX7. Aperture is the same (7.1).   Here is a crop of the E-P5 (top) and the GX7 (bottom) at ISO 6400.   [url=http://www.eoshd.com/comments/gallery/image/669-olympus-e-p5-vs-gx7-raw-iso-6400-olympus-on-top/][/URL]   Not a good comparison because of the exposure difference. But the GX7 doesn't look a stop better. Looks pretty much the same to me.   Looking at the jpg's doesnt tell much about the sensor, more about the processing.
