@Emanuel Well, actually I shot and edited it around March 2019. The talent in front of the camera, like I mentioned:) is the artist and songwriter herself who did this song and was one part of a music duo. The character following her is a friend of us. Yeah, I had the editing almost nailed within less than a day back then. But I put it away and waited until now to finish it to my liking. So I sat dowin yesterday to straighten out a short part of the piece which I was not satisfied with. I also did the grading yesterday as well. @webrunner5 I hope that´s a good thing, Don. 🙂

I have an isco 16 2x, which I am not using. And I am planning to rig my iscomorphot 8 1.5x. The Zeiss Ikon would have been really something.:)

Goodfellas, hehe, you´re sure you named us right? @Emanuel

Rereading the article by Andrew in a second, which started one of my favorite threads and follow ups. This thread deserves to be pinned again I think! I will be having a steamy cup of coffee and some delicous German cake with it while reading! Just as suggested by Andrew four years ago. See you later.:)

Here is a music video I did with my beautiful GX85. It now has dethroned my GF1 for photography pleasure, loosended my bonds with my eternally appreciated and now disfunct G6. GX85 earned no1 place in my heart. It was a bit of a way to go for this cam. It has pleased me with nice footage, great personal short cine verité extravaganza, BCam as last resort.. But only until now it has reached my heart completely. It is a true treasure. The road to love was slippery by the slipperyness of the camerabody, the soon to become disfunct back wheel and the mediocore EVF. But still, it is almost as pretty as the GX7 or my GF1 and it feels good in the hand and now even better in the heart. So enough talking, time to let this camera speak. Used Fujinon 12mm in 16 to 9 and ind 1:1 4K photo mode, Tokina 25-50 in the mix. Shot in colour and graded with love in BW. 🙂

We could do a GX85 challenge, including GH2, GH1, GH3, G7 and GH4 aaaand the LX15. The Seven Sisters 8bit Challenge! Let´s do it 🙂

Anyway, black and white lovers. Here is a musicvideo I did. Again in cinema verité style. It can be exhausting to create all spontaneously, with the flow of conciousness. But it can be big fun as well. Talent in front of the camera is the awesome artist and songwriter herself. Her shadow following is a kind and kewl artist as well. Shot in 90min. Edit was done the next day. BUT, I completed some itsy bitsy 20seconds and final grade only now, two years later. Crazy how long some things take which started off super high energy and fast as lightning up to 90% of the final result! The last 10% can be a sucker. So here is the final result, turn up the volume and enjoy! 🙂

Awesome hack with the TC! A 100mbit data rate in HD would be awesome. I really think the 100mbit 4K codec is not as strong as the one from the GX85. The 8bit HD 100mbit codec on the GH4 or GH5 is pretty beefy for what it is. So if you are interested in checking your awesome hack in that regard.. 🙂 I don´t have the Lumix app for doing the hack as I dont do the googlappstore. What combo is the TC and magnetic adapter, what specific items? Great shots btw, as always. I should do something like that instead of goofy experimental sketches.:)

Still no footage from my F3. So it has to be coming from others.:) Love the creamyness and resolution of it. @Josue Nunez would you mind posting some clips in motion if you are allowed to? That would be awesome!

Holy crap, don´t scare me! @webrunner5 I just discoverd my all time favorite colour palette on the EOS M, which I just posted. Now you come up with even cooler news. I have not been a great fan of the colours from the videos on youtube so far. Only the one I discovered gave me wowsers. Until then the videos always had postpro with very crayon and videoish results. Technically nice but not painterly with thick oils. Now let me check that video with a coffee and some cake. 🙂

I was hoping it was so I could figure if I would dare to ask you if it was still for sale? 🙂

That would be awesome! @BTM_Pix Quiet a few people "on youtube" are enjoying your hack for the GX85. The colour form that cam is still my favorite Lumix colour palette. The LX15 does definately not provide great colour ooc in natural profile though. So I just tested Vivid profile with saturation +3 and contrast +2 to give skintones some magic in the Jpegs and in video. Colour feels totally different and a bit brittle in grading compared to my GX85. I am not sure if it lacks in the grading department compared to the GX or if it just has a different response and responsitivity. A 100mbit or 200mbit HD codec on that little cam would make a potential champion of hearts! The camera body is of course slippery as ice cream but it´s solidly built. I put a flash rail thingsy underneath it to have some grip. Also 4K sensor readout seems solid as I can pull off shots in panning and handheld despite lack of IBIS in 4K. For video the lens works awesome wide open. Display is pretty sharp for focussing. Just beware the slippyness and give it some grip or tape. Otherwise, awesome little cam for that super little money. I will letcha know later how much I paid. Like I said two for the price of half a used camera. So keep guessing. 🙂

Still got a "great" VariND that turned my FD 35mm F2 into a focus pulling nightmare due to its glowyness. @kye Anyway, I got a challenger now, if a fixed lens Super 16 4K machine counts. I think it does. If a LX100 would qualify I think a LX15 should just as well. So here it goes, I got not only one of them but two for the used price of half a camera. Now take a guess 🙂 Here is some fun clip I did with it. Now, if a hack would give me 100mbit HD with it, then we would be talking! 28mm 1.4 eq lens! Which turns into 36mm eq in 4K crop.:)

Cannot wait to see it! Some crazy Pete in action! 🙂 @Matt Kieley I found my all time EOS M RAW footage when it comes to colour. Makes Berlin look like before all the greedy hipster and gated community freaks fxxed up the community and heart and soul of the city. I know it sounds kinda harsh but girls n boys, they really bulldozered many, many landmarks of Berlin to build cement monoliths for rich, tastless fxxers from all over the world. Nothing against wealthy people, just against the powerful axxxholes among them who fxxxk up everything with their money. Anyway, here is the beautiful EOS M in its most impressive colour glory, imho. Btw, my C-mount to Eos M-mount didnt arrive but I got the full refund. Very nice of the seller. Anyway, I a slouch when it comes to rig up cameras.:/

Is it a Zeiss Ikon 22? 🙂

Well, my friends. My second BMMCC is genuie such as its record button is awkwardly shallow and the menu navigation is hillariously awkward. 🙂 It came as body only, no batteries, no charger, nothing, no five headed cable monster neither. So the trick is to figure how much is the 250 or 267 with postage and fee worth? It is quarter of the original price and great deal for what it is. Still, without Rawlite and cage and monitor, a few miles to go for rigging it up. Best practice to catch a great package, but those a super rare. Rawlite filter costs 300EUR. BMMCC is still not a cheap camera all in all. But the image is extemely worthwhile. By the way, I got a surprise in the 4k for 200 challenge, if a super 16 size sensor is qualified.

Echo 🙂

Well, I would answer in an manner, that the S1 is a great image taker with a great codec. For the money it is the best hybrid in my opinion regarding image and usuability. I don´t use mine much though, cuz I would have liked it to be exactly like the S5 with the form factor and the swivel screen. I dislike the tilting one on my S1. It is very well built but not enjoyable for me to handle. Unfortunately I don´t enjoy my S1 as much as I would a S5 but I keep it for its full HDMI and great EVF. Codecs are a strength of this camera. SR1, I cannot say anything. 24mpix images on the S1 are no slouch either. 3:2 video full sensor is 24only on the S1. Anamorphic modes are S35 league and crop.

Awesome writeup! Thanks a lot!!! @IronFilm

Highlight roll off with the GH2 is not pleasant in video. Lumix G6 already looks so much better. GH5 is a powerhouse of an image taker. I have a G7 but only tested a for three different shooting days. Loved it in Natural profile, disliked it in CineD in combination with a vintage 28 85 Tokina zoom. HD was beautiful. If it had a 100mbit codec for HD, but that´s my complain about all the panny 8bit cams other than the GH4. But I get your impression regarding quality of a color palette. But it is regarding amount of tones and hues and precision and what you can do with it in post. OOC, the GX85 is the best I have owned. But 709 in camera look for narrative shortfilm is not the greatest idea. You will always need grading or pregrading, if these 8biters allowed 3d lut implementation.

That´s the spirit! 🙂 @newfoundmass

Tasty.:) I remember Matthias Burling loved his EF 35mm F2 dearly. Looking intense! But what is with the other awesome talent? I know it´s is a good thing to work with different talent. Still, how could you? 🙂 @mercer How is the manual focus, hard stops at least, sufficient long focus throw. If so, a must buy it seems for stabiholics. I bought a FD 35mm f2 silverring a couple weeks ago, the version without the radioactive elements though, but still with that unpractical but very pretty silver ring.:) I love the rendering a huge deal when I used it on my Bmmcc with a 0.71 focal reducer giving it standard mft sensor size crop. Will have to give it a ride with my S1 soon. Still cracking me up big time! 🙂 You still have not told us how many great deals you made with best of concious:)

@deezid Always good to have you, the grand connoisseur of the cinematic image! I remember your GH4 and GH5 showcases and they were showing off the qualities of these cameras perfectly. So please give us your insights regarding colour, thickness, response in post, comparison to the S line cameras besides lowlight. Better, post some of your stuff. That would be awesome and get more people to buy this camera. I hope you will continue to put out quality stuff like your GH4 Vlog showcase: By the way, this is an example how to integrate footage into the main board instead of burrying it in the shooting section. Padding my shoulder now.🙂 Emanuels post is just as important to remind us that it is possible to screw up the image from the GH6 so badly that we all are protected from spending 2500 USD. Thank you Emanuel, you saved a lot of people a lot of money by posting this youtubers video. 🙂 @Emanuel

The lady is really good at being bad. Good acting and casting and great EOS M showcase.
