If you go to his blog he writes about the grading.
In short he says that he couldnt care less. If its an important job he hires a colorist. This is made by him and is his style, he gets that many dont like it but oh well.
I shoot medium format and large format video every now and then with a ground glass. Just never gotten around to do more than screw around with it at home. Might have to edit something together.
So I returned the A7sii yesterday.
Like with all Sonys, it first feels perfect. There is so much to like with them.
Everything from the handling, features, build, specs etc.
The A7sii is a joy to shoot, much improved DR, mind blowing lowlight and great IS for old glass.
But.... still... when grading and viewing the finished image... its just not there yet.
I hate being able to get the Slog-3 where I want it just to see it band.
Or to be satisfied with the Slog-2 in general and then see what it does to skin.
In short, its a super awesome and great camera, but its not for me.
With that said I did a top 5 review.
If you dont like the grip, a cage is always a pretty nice way to ad both weight and functionallity. Remember there beeing a good one but cant remember the name of it.
Getting before release date doesnt mean anything. But the other stuff is bad I guess.
All though, Sony did the same in their demo of the ax100. Thet used the same shot saying it was both their HD and 4K camcorders. The AX100 fanboys went so crazy when it was pointed out that it was comical
The word filmic to me has only to do with the visual characteristics of film and film cameras.
So colors, grain, DR, subject motion/shutter.
Camera movement, audio, lights, composition, actors, etc, that try to look Holywood I file under cinematic.
I haven't really used the Zeiss Jena 35mm f2.4 much. And since its on eBay now I used it today just for the heck of it and I needed some Macro.
Man its pretty darn sharp.
Here is a 4K frame from the NX500.
