Lol, that link shows me a backpack. But I had the e-mail too: https://cvp.com/product/panasonic_gh5s_body?utm_source=mailshot&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=email -- ah, I guess it works now https://geizhals.eu/panasonic-lumix-dc-gh5s-schwarz-gehaeuse-a1751404.html?hloc=at&hloc=de&hloc=pl&hloc=uk&hloc=eu More links for finding listings: https://www.eoshd.com/comments/topic/21465-the-thread-for-good-deals-and-discounts/?do=findComment&comment=177294

Yeah, that's an interesting concept, saw Philip DeFranco mention that. We also might see people migrating away from YouTube altogether. Then you get this sorta stuff: https://about.d.tube/

< del /> Now... I'm usually not game for anything new if there's not a little incentive (freebie, discount), but I'm sorta really excited about the GH5S. Gotta list that GH5 sooner than later I think.

Well, https://www.ukdigital.co.uk/slr-magic-8mm-f4-lens-mft.html ... (it's where my G80 and GH5 came from... and I'm EU mainland).

That would be kind of cool. Like an oldschool 'chatbox'. Back in the Netherlands on some forums we have certain 'slow chat'/SC topics for that especially. I think the number of threads I've openend in my history of EOSHD can be counted on one hand... or one finger even.

It's one of my favourites... but wouldn't call it 'ultra wide angle' of course...

Oh noes, it's the max police! Haha, nah, I mean, it's alright, everyone can do whatever they want of course. It's not my place to say what one can or can not do, just a friendly request, I just came back from being out and about and I just noticed all these new threads. One after another. Maybe a little exaggerated response from my side, but just my 2 bitcoins of course. And Andrew is under a non-disclosure agreement and he doesn't want to slip up, I bet that's all.

I keep a tab open on the main forum index, that means old topics get flushed out by new ones to the 2nd page. If we have everybody opening a topic for each article they found interesting, there's no conversation anymore. I mean, if you want to start a single blog kind collection thread where you post all the articles that you find interesting, that's cool. But likely, we all come around the rumor sites, news sites or subscribe to these channels if that had interested us already. So... when we have that out of the way, we can come here and discuss our own experiences, like you say, help and inspire eachother, you know, human interaction, rather than a flood of posted articles. And yeah, of course, what this guy says: Now I could've dropped that video in it's own topic... but I didn't.

Yeah, yeah, I've seen that already. Be careful not turning this forum into a blog, yeah. We go to blogs and other outlets for that, m8.

I have the Olympus 7-14mm f/2.8 PRO which trully does a spectacular job. But it is huge and doesn't have a filter ring natively. Before I used to fly handheld gimbal stabilizers of the mechanical kind with the GH2 and the adapted Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8, but I don't find the image all that satisfying, I find the Olympus has less distortion and better sharpness. But you do need like a 3D printed accessory to be able to mount filters in front. Then more recently Laowa came out with the 7.5mm f/2 MFT rectilinear lens (which the Oly is as well, btw) and it is the perfect thing for wide angle. It's small and light (I have the lightweight version, should I decide to throw it on some aerial platform one day) and actually takes filters natively. Image quality is rather good for the size. People also used to use the Olympus 9-18mm quite a bit, might be worth having a look at. Otherwise... Gordon Laing I believe mentioned it was his favourite lens to come out last year? Just because it's so practical. But I have to agree with you on the look, nothing about these recent Panasonic Leica zooms screams that Leica look, like their primes do (most notably of course the 42.5mm f/1.2). So... dunno. For me, right now it's a mixture of convenience VS quality when I go out, so either Olympus 7-14mm f/2.8 PRO or 7.5mm f/2 MFT from Laowa.

You'd think people with a 200mm do much manual focusing? Yeah... they're probably shooting still life. Anyways, in that price range, it better be that optically sound... just wondering... does the lens cap say 'Lumix G' as well? If you can justify having one, for like good reasons and having the cash availlable, you're probably also in the position to just go and buy an Atlas anamorphic lens?

EF-mount would make the most sense. With E-mount option. Doesn't look to great in terms of sharpenss, CA and bokeh, although focus breathing and parfocal seems rather well-controlled (yet not perfect). Don't mind having some options, so I guess it interesting to see more players trying to roll some dice at this table. Probably would prefer myself to stick to stills lenses from line-ups that are known to get re-housed. Such as the Tokina 11-16, 16-28 and 50-135mm f/2.8 (bonus: AT-X PRO 28-70mm f/2.6-2.8), Sigma 18-35 and 50-100 f/1.8 and Nikkor 17-35, 28-70 and 80-200mm f/2.8 D.

Yeah, thanks, that's a little more to go on. Here's a list of other optics in that range: https://geizhals.eu/?cat=acamobjo&xf=227_18~230_2.8~2715_APS-C%2FKleinbild~816_Festbrennweitenobjektiv~8219_Sony+E , where the Samyang AF 14mm f/2.8 is probably the best steal. The Zeiss Batis 18mm f/2.8 possibly the best quality and the Laowa's the best option for more wideangle and especially rectilinear characteristics which are their key selling point (Zero-D; it's in the name). Now, I've got very little to do with Sony systems, nor have any familiarity with any of the lenses personally. I do have the Laowa 7.5mm f/2 MFT, also with rectilinear characteristics and you're getting a great deal. Of course, it's all manual, so take that into consideration as well. All that said, real estate with FF and APS-C I'd think the 12mm f/2 probably is a really good pick, but it does seem to require a weird set-up to put filters in front. Neways, these would be the once I'd look into the most. Of course, if you're okay with zooms or adapting third party mount lenses, your field broadens a little (in prime land the expensive Canon or Nikon 14mm f/2.8 options, or Sigma Art, Irix, Zeiss Milvus et cetera, or zooms which go like xx-24mm f/4 from Sony, Nikon, Sigma, Canon (can get expensive))...

Yeah, I'm ready for some hot new KeyMission goodness! Bring it! 'The storytelling revolution has begun.' https://www.nikonusa.com/en/nikon-products/action-cameras/index.page

Yes. I'll give you an answer with little explanation, because your question also doesn't explain what you're looking for in a lens, which camera you use, what kind of scenarios you shoot in, etc.

Yeah. And that was just the first spin I took it out with. I happened to have found myself in Salzburg and thought I'd roam around with the newly acquired D5300 and 35mm back then. Funny enough I was approached by someone outside a small artsy gathering type place... who asked me if I was the photographer that came to shoot the band. Apparently he was running late. Didn't actually end up stealing his gig tho. Did take a couple more random shots. Something about 35 mil, ey? Don't take either piece of gear out much lately, the usability of the D5300 is just not there (I implore you, oh great Nikon Gods, please give us mirrorless APS-C!). But looking back... I can't deny the APS-C and a certain Nikon mojo. And with that lens it really has like a 2D stacking, with subject plane in almost complete focus with such a creamy background, really gives a pop. Like one of them cards. But now is not the time to make myself feel bad about MFT, dang it.

Yeah, same here. Though with the Metabones Speedbooster 0.67 XL I opted for the Nikon one (have no EF lenses, so the expensive electronic implementation would be wasted on me... I'm fine with the simple aperture ring that mechanically interlinks with a lot of Nikon mount lenses). Yet... Nikon and some other mounts, including Contax Zeiss C/Y don't play nice together very well: you'd either have to perform a mount swap (Leitax; which doesn't work for all) or use an adapter with an optical element in it (which is never good for image quality). Nikon mount lenses might rule for adapting, but adapting to Nikon mount is a different story. So... a Zhongyi Lens Turbo II for EF especially it was. Then you can take either Contax Zeiss C/Y or as well Leica Summicron-R for example that faced the same problems and use a cheap adapter to get them to fit EF. My pick over these last couple of years has mainly been K&F (Kent & Faith) Concept: https://www.kentfaith.com/contax-yashica/KF06.129_contax-yashica-to-canon-eos-mount-adapter . Just put in 'Adapter C/Y EF' or something on eBay and look for listings with an adapter and that black/orange box, Leinox in black/brown are pretty great as well (in the early days I had Fotga ones, but e.g. missed a ridge on one of the adapters that pushed in a pin to pinch the aperture to the set value; of course you might be able to find decent Pixco, Kiwi Fotos, Fotasy, Vizelex and Kipon adapters as well): Works a charm. So Contax Zeiss [C/Y] or Leica Summicron-R [L/R] to [EOS] or [EF] and you're in EF. This is how the adapter would look: It's flippin' thin! There's just no way you could do any focal reducing on that if EF is your native mount. A BMCC (Production 2.5K) with MFT mount would've been more helpful there, otherwise, just use it as is. As far as I know there's only focal reducers to mirrorless mounts (well, I do believe there's PL ones, though I guess that counts as mirrorless), so any MFT, Sony E-Mount, EOS-M, Fuji X-mount even Samsung NX. Not Canon EF(-S), not Nikon FX/DX.

Yeah, when I took notice of Aputure releasing the VS-5 I was like 'YESSS YESS! 5"!'. Then... it turned out that the VS-5 is still a 7" monitor. But Feelworld aka Seetec seems alright, especially when the F570 is under 200 bucks. I believe they're also the same as the Neway monitors one might've been seeing sold middleman-style by Vitaliy on Personal-View. http://www.newayhd.com/pro_32_1203.html which I believe are also similar to certain Ikans? Also saw another fella comparing it to an Andycine one, which I believe I heard of one time before. Seem to be the same hardware internals, with a different approach to housing it. Yeah, 2018 probably has a couple of things in store for us. Still hoping for that sub $1k 5-ish inch 4K 10-bit recorder one day as well. Or even just as a little screenless box, the thought we've also been playing around with around here.

Saw someone mention a monitor the other day... http://www.feelworld.cn/ShowInfo.aspx?id=519&py=FEELWORLD-F570-5-7-4K-On-camera-Monitor-with-HDMI-Input-Output-IPS-Full-HD-1920x1080 I actually think that's a pretty sweet(spot) option (convenience VS inconvience), because I'm done with 7" monitors (e.g. my Lilliput 663/O/P2) , and my Lilliput Q5 for example doesn't take a 4K signal to monitor from (which isn't the end of the world necessarily as long as your camera does a 1080p monitoring output (which not all do)). Just 10-ish inch... seems... well, excessive.

Pretty good schtuff:

How so?

Nice! That shot reminded me of one I had shot with the D5300 and 35mm f/1.8 DX once. Couldn't believe that 'pop' it had.

You know, back in 2015 (likely in response to Canon's Video Creator kits), they'd gotten all funky on us with: There's even a link to a PDF regarding HD-SLR video compatibility... and a learning center. Who's to say they won't throw us a bone in 2018...

I mean... to each their own I guess.

The GX80 has sensor stabilization, which can always be used. It can work in conjuncton with lens I.S. for Dual I.S. (although, I'm uncertain if it does this with FT lenses with the appropriate adapter, probably not). What it doesn't do with certain lenses that have OIS, is Dual I.S.2! See: http://av.jpn.support.panasonic.com/support/global/cs/dsc/connect/dual_is.html . Not sure if OIS from FT is supported at all on MFT system cameras; it possibly isn't. Which would mean you might've been seeing the GX80's sensor stabilization in action, which is very effective. Just the thing lacking from the GH5S however... -- hum, acc. some posts on the ol' interw3bz, OIS of those Panasonic/Leica should work on MFT cameras. But probably stand-alone, not Dual I.S. So, then the question is... did you compare the footage with sensor stabilization on and lens OIS off to sensor stabilization off and lens OIS on and stabilization on & lens stabilization on?
