Nikkor

Yes you can use Luts in Photoshop. When you open a raw in Photoshop you will get the ACR window. At the bottom it will say "Adobe RGB (1998), 8bit, etc..." click on this. Now select 16bit, and also click "Open in Photoshop as Smart Objects". This simple step will give you the best quality and let you do RAW adjustments after opening the file in PS (just double click on the thumbnail on the layer window). Now you can make an Adjustment layer called "Color Lookup" which will let you select a lut. (you can do this without the first step)

If you really dig classic nikkors, get the 5.8cm 1.4

The 50f2 pre-ai can be had for 10€, I got mine for that, gave it to a friend, want it back

Make shure to see some samples before getting an old 50 1.4 nikkor, it's a little bit "peculiar" wide open.

I read that, he says it's because the lenses have fewer elements, I think that is at best only a secondary reason. I suppose that back in the day they tuned lenses for aparent sharpness (50% MTF), and less for fine detail (10%MTF). For example, the nikkor 50 1.4 pre-ai, first version, at f2 looses all the spherical aberration glow but still isn't sharp on fine detail, but it looks way better than the 50 1.2 ai-s with is very sharp at f2.

Do you know Tumblr? The Horror...

I don't loose anything ^^, I'm not into ghostbusters nor do I understand why people would get upset about it. But I wonder what Sony might gain by upsetting fans (because it's fan rant, I suppose).

I think you are taking this way to lightly, I will have to call the Social Justice Warrior Squad. Meanwhile you can put one on one of these, to deal with your guilt. Keep saying "mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa."

Actually the movie is super racist, the three whites are scientists and the black one is just a low-wage stereotyped subway worker. I will never ever buy a sony camera.

@jcs has both a good canon and a sony, maybe he could upload the original files of one of those comparisons.

Andrew said something about a surprise, now we know it's fullframe but coming from a speedbooster. This leaves us with APS-C cameras or crops.The image looks like better than plain 1080p... A7s1?? that would be no surprise. Canon EOS M3??? Not really... NX500 with a secret hack??? should look like NX1. Some KINO camera (what was their name again?, I know RichG adapted a speedbooster for the PL mount).

So what, you got your a6300 already? Or is it the a7rii? Or maybe the Fuji XT

I have no idea, All I can say is that the thrid image looks bad to me, specially because of the sharpening,bad highlights, and I don't enjoy the colors . The first one looks smooth, the kind of good 1080p smooth? The second would have been the best if it hadn't sharpening on. But imho, the test scene is...

Well, there is a rumour floating around about a fuji 50mp medium format camera, probably mirrorless. If that thing shoots good 4K, I will buy it, even if it costs 4000€

Oh god, frankenstein camera.

I remember when I was a child in the 90s when seeing rehersals or takes on a movie set in a making off I always asked myself why everything looked so crap compared to how it looks later in the movie.

Well it can only be, there are no SLRs bigger than 6x8 ,nor have there ever been Imagine the mirror, it could be used by ISIS to cut off heads from the infidels.

Yes the price was super cheap, but it never happened... Look at this shit, if he managed to focus better (it's a pain in the ass to focus correctly on a small screen) it would have been even more incredible. The fucking smoothness...

The files are pretty crazy, it has no noise at all, every pixel sucks so much light there is no room for noise at baselevel.

But the gross explanation is that, right?

Because it's a Blackmagic Pocket Camera filming a groundglass. What about large format video? http://largesense.com/

Kipon announced the MF speedbooster last year, they said it would be available in Feb, but... Anyway, Im in 100%, waiting for the booster.

Hmm Interesting, I've always thought the nikons had the worst motion judder. Maybe the external recorder fixes this, and so, maybe an external recorder would have fixed this for the A7 aswell.

He usually has videos way before release date, the videos left and right are from the same camera, he makes one long take, splits it up, one goes left, one goes right, some minor curve to make it look a little bit different, that's it. See for yourself [edit] I checked his channel, he changes Picture Style between takes ^^, so sharpness and color is slightly different The framing between shots is 100% the same, on every shot That's the easiest way to track a guy trying to bullshitting you (we even had an example in this forum)

I think that channel is bullshit // 100% fake
