Would love to see the Konica 40mm on your FP, even moreso on your 5DIII. @mercer But I think, flange of Konica is shorter than EF. I have an extra adapter for L to Konica mount besides my EF to L adapter. So I am pretty sure, flange should be shorter than EF. I still have a sleeper lens, a 50mm f2 Schneider Kreuznach in Akarette mount. I am not sure if there is an adapter out there, as there were barely any professional ones around for Mft. Akarette like Akarelle is a viewfinder camera with mountable lenses. Lenses and cameras are from the 50ies.

The mighty 35 to 100 F2.8 zoom. I got three of them in search of a perfect one. It is an exiting piece of class. It´s from around 1968 to early 1970ies afaik. Back in the day it was a very expensive and overengineered lens with the goal of being on par with primes. Happy hunting to find one in good condition.:)

Could be the sensor from the Nikon D60 btw. @MurtlandPhoto I used to fancy that Epson camera years ago. For photography I love a plastic fantastic Canon Autoboy, a Oly 35RC or a Ricoh 500G and other ps and fixed lens rangefinders. I had a great summer with the mju II, XA and 35RC Olys when film was still affordable. I had so much fun trying out an Oly 35 SP or a Yashica Lynx 14, which I have sold since then. I love using the og pocket for the image, for the size and the whole feeling. The quirks are fun and a great challenge to grow on, though I would not include the battery in this category but rather name it what it is, a nervewrecking flaw. I love to combine things in ways that exite in regards to handling, artistic possibilities, the right strokes with the right brushes, like the og pocket with an AF 14mm Lumix lens or a S1H with a 35mm C-mount Zeiss, making me feel an artistic rush and sensation.

There are discussions about specs and there are discussions about discussions which are about specs. This is the thread to find both of them.😊 It´s also the right place to ask, if anyone in this thread would love to do a Lumix S series "challenge" of filming fun and task? Who would like to participate? How about some telelens action, 70 to 200mm range fi? Urban life, 120p slowmo, leaves and trees in a captivating montage? What else comes to mind? You name it.

Filmstock Lynch Dune > digital Villeneuve Dune, Filmstock Bladerunner > digital Bladerunner 2049. Oh boy, I´m in trouble now. The original Bladerunner is a stunningly beautiful and groundbreaking scifi neo noir, in which color makes the world materialize like one can touch and breathe it. Bladerunner 2049, though a well designed and high class realization, is rather abstract and reduced in regards to composition, geometry and colour imo. Lighting, though a tour de force of effort and technological prowess, feels streamlined to me. In comparision, light in the original Bladerunner is vivid, lively, wild and untamed, of opulent baroqueness. 2020ies Dune felt hollow to me, when I watched it on Netflix. It looked and felt like a center perspective duotone coloured video game. I just read that it was transferred from digital to analogue and then scanned back to digital. Posh spice! 😊 The 1980ies Dune was fun and a best of 80ies spectacle with a meditative prologue and full of atmosphere, great ambitions and quirky failures, a cult classic with lasting charme and soul. Though I prefer the analogue filmmaking of masters like Lynch and Scott over filmmaking of current times Villeneuve, I would not say that analogue Roger Deakins is better than digital Deakins. I imagine there would be more bad analogue movies than good ones and at the same time more digital mediocrity out there than analogue lacklusters in absolute numbers, due to the sheer amount of digital output. A statement about analogue being better than digital is very general and misses a lot in regards of the beauty and quality of digital filmmaking. The og post is still a good tease for a lively discussion and a well written fun read. It sofore deserves my big like! I do not a agree on the general premise of the original post but I can share its love for originality and sincerity for cinema, though I found that in digital as well. I love the number of quirky, playful, inventive shorts, semi pro music videos, classic and not so classic indies and labours of love, which have been produced since the rise of 8bit 420 cameras. I love the 8bit 420 gems of old days vimeo as well as full scale digital cinema movies like Lighthouse, oops that one was analogue.;) I don't care for most of the high scale Hollywood or Netflix Blockbusters but I love tons of other digitally filmed, edited and graded films and videos I got to enjoy. On a side note, the first Raid movie was an 8bit 422 masterpiece in many regards, the glory of Panasonic AF100 output to an Atomos Ninja. Most of you know that, of course. I still enjoyed mentioning it.:)

@eatstoomuchjam@Clark Nikolai Let's get it rolling.:)

Just use the search option. As an example I found the coolest posts on lensing that way. Give it a try. If you don't find it here, search Roger Deakins' forum. You can also post a question of yours which you wanna ask about a topic of your interest.

The forum is overflowing with cool stuff. Just browse around. You could also ask your specific question or post your insights and findings from your filming job or activities.

Good thing, Ninpo made a joke and that you know about it. Just these youtube jokers make themselves believe they are not a joke nor shills. @wushuliu We know they are a joke though and not even being entertaining. S1RII, keep the hot footage coming.:)

I'm seconding a used Lumix S5. GH5 and G9, if full hdmi is necessary. Also the additional 4K S16 mode is super cool. GH5II for full hdmi, preinstalled VLog and also sporting 10bit in 4K60p just like the S5. It further shows the least sharpening of the bunch.

I'm keen on our own findings, footage, artistc work, analysis, concepts, our creative work in general and reflection about it. Like in my post above, I am with @kye and @QuickHitRecord on this. Well designed challenges are a great. I'd love that. I don't care about the endless repetition of specs and mediocore youtube links over and over again, which have been bloating some threads. Less hot air, more artistic work and experiments. Like in pre corona times. The cinematography . com forum has tons of that kind of great stuff. Why not getting back to focus much more on that rather than recycling internet discussions.

The 28mm and the XM5 should be a treat. S5 and the 135mm on sticks would lovely, maybe even in S35. I'm getting exited to test my S1H on sticks with the 90mm. @Ninpo33 S1RII, like the S1H before, could be the h264 and h265 camera of the year besting all other Dslms in these codecs up to Iso 12800. All Intra h264 and Prores HQ should provide pretty much the same quality anyway. Can a variety of crops be used for Prores Raw, like S16, S35 and 4to3 ratio?

That 135mm looks pretty. Thanks for posting. What camera do you use the 90 and 135mm with? @Ninpo33

Yes, readout at 6K60p is faster than for 8Kround with 15.5ms. @Andrew Reid Pixel to pixel 4K120 should provide same resolution as it does on Sony FX3 and A7SIII. The S1RII has a 2x cropped gate in 4K120 pretty much the same as a FX30 in 4K120. With the higher sensitivity and dynamic range of the sensor it could possibly mean only one stop of higher noise in this 2x cropped 4K120 mode at isos up to 12800, compared to the full sensor 16 to 9 gate of the FX3 and A7SIII and one stop better than the FX30 or a GH6/7. But that's an estimation. Tests will show. Colour and a high resolving unsharpened image with good latitude regarding textures and colour could be strengths of the S1RIII.

Pixel to pixel mode should show the same resolution as the FX3, just in MFT gate. @Walter H Penalty regarding noise could be okay, since the S1RII has very good noise performance. It's a 6K60p full frame camera with the 4K120p mode of a GH7 as a give away. I know the GH7 does it oversampled. Then it's a Sony 4K120 FX30 thrown in for free.:) I would love to see the 28mm Vivitar in action.:) @Ninpo33 It looks like a Vivitar I lens in body design and sturdiness, doesn't it? Iirc from my ebay tours some years ago, it looks just as cool. Is the 135mm as nice as the 90mm? Have you shot with the 90mm? cheers
