  1. S1 a lovely and fun camera. Still shooting 8bit with it due to lack of the vlog update. Colour is outstanding in its REC709 profiles. Would have loved a 25p 4:3 mode with full height of the sensor instead of the cropped 6K photo mode. Would love to see actual shorts with the Sigma FP. Silent or with sound, doesn´t matter, but a bit more of the visuality of fiction or essayistic or experimental films. I mean, this camera is indeed the full frame pocket cinema camera, Andrew and others have been mentioning. Anyone in Berlin I can borrow one from?:)
  2. Davinci does a good job, if footage shot with a high shutter. 180 degree at normal framerates produces warps in my experience.
  3. Awesome couple. Making films together in their apartment. The champs of single room and closet shorts. Btw, Prospect, a beautiful made scifi short made with the BMCC also got redone as a full feature film.
  4. Hallo peepz, thanks for posting videos. But let us check if some of them have not been posted already on the same page please. Also, some comments about the posted video would help us to realize better why it is recommended to be watched. Thanks Let´s not flood our own threads with five videos in the row, unless they are about lighting:) Edit: so many kids in the videos. My apologies, no reposts on this page. Sorry, friends about my mistake.
  5. Double thumbs up, except from Ironfilms awesome youtube parade in the lighting thread. That flooding with redundant youtube videos should not become a habbit with us! A thing about selfmade videos. Most of them are in the footage subforum and rather modestly discussed. The main forum gives better exposure to forum members and to discussion afaik.
  6. @Lars Steenhoff Hallo Lars, I only look at the one with the kid. I think the grading was not reavealing the strength of 12bit raw. This one looks very good indeed, which youtube suggested by auto. Nice natural colors rich tones and smooth gradations. Even in Rec709 which is still impressive enough to me for awesome delivery.
  7. Oh, it IS a GM1! Always took it for a GX7:) If it had a 50mbit codec only, if the GX7 had on or even the GX85, which has rather average HD quality. If the GM1 only had the ingenius thumb wheel I would forgive the lack of 50mbit and make it the worthy successor of the GF1 and a huge video upgrade to it, which the GX1 is not neither both of them.
  8. Yeah, Gh5 is not a beauty. But an almost perfect video/film camera. When I see the pretty images it produces, its outer shape becomes as beautiful as an Oly can be. But heck are these Olys pretty! @fuzzynormal You still have your Lumix GM1? That one is a beautiful looking camera!
  9. Now put a 50mm Leica R on that mean machine and show us some footage, please:)

    @heart0less tasty treat, relaxing, educating, great visual presentation. Lens entertainment for all of us! Thank you! "..remove the senso out of the camera", entertainment that late time of the day should be recommended for any corona household. What a happy presentation of that cute german accent.:)
  11. @fuzzynormal GX7 and Oly 45, what a beautiful photog combo. Awesome lens, great image wide open. Mine is silver, hardly used it over the years due to its attraction seeking colour. If GX7 had a higher grip instead of ending after two thirds of the height, I would have gotten it instead of the G6. One pretty outfit, prettiest mft camera in my opinion, besides GF1 and GM1. @IronFilm Shooting wise I used to dial in color temp manually. That way I had to correct a lot of times for pleasing results. I work very obsessively with curves, interacting, counteracting on certain color attributes, gaing desirable effects and correcting unpleasant ones, a lot of times working from right to left to right to left with the nodes. I create an "emulsion" first that way, then cc, then grade, with the emulsion often including the latter. In my opinion G6 sauce lies in working the blue channel, lifting shadows and lowering highlights, and then correcting undesired effects infront of the node. Profile used to be Natural with -2 on all parameters and contrast at 0. Nowdays I enjoy it a big deal to create the look incamera when shooting 709. So much fun to WB a sunset a 10000K in the Vivid profile. My G6 gave up on me this fall. Was a great mate and tool to learn video or film so to say. Now back to ibis:) Super wide angle works better with movement, static handheld shots always give warping madness of strong geometric attributes due to perspective. It is not IBIS´fault, neither from Panny, Oly or Sony:)
  12. Hey, S1 lovers. Has anyone tried to find hidden features on their camera? @BTM_Pix of EOSHD community has gained access to a variety of Lumix cameras with his GX85 tool: # Now, if there is a hidden 200mbit mode for the S1 or true 4K or other tasty treats, that would really be lovely. So, any S1 users with experience regarding these hidden modes?
  13. Hey fuzzy, yeah, it is still confusing to me that this camera has such awesome colour out of the box. Best of all MFT cameras I´ve "studied" on vimeo over the years. Some tempting mojo. If it had a 50mbit codec I would get one. People used to state, the G6 sensor and video was the same. But it was not, by far. Now, G6 graded, is another story and another joy for the 8bit adventurer:) Back to IBIS. Practice has its purpose, making handheldshots appear like they were done with a heavy camera plus that 2second bonus moment of gimbal heaven or curse.
  14. Now, that! Totally agree. Until my Lumix G6 gave up on me I enjoyed it a big deal to practice eloquent handheld shooting. No Ibis and vintage lenses. What opened my eyes was the 2x digizoom. Lineskipping gave me a very fast readout and I felt like a smooth operator. Of course it was an aliasing party:) Maybe a 8ms readout would be perfect for smooth handheld action up to 50mm on s35 format.
  15. Awesome. Dear Seb, you rock! Love your videos. Now, that Baby Hypergonar on a LX100 was really something, besides all your other beautiful and insightful videos. Thank you very much!
  16. No, put a 20mm Canon FD lens on the S1 and stop dreaming of the S1H:) Would be awesome if you would do a thread about audio devices, a collection of knowledge you shared with us in several posts. Maybe a short write up, so it would not be a monster task to do so of course!:)

    @Zach Goodwin2 Hallo Zach, you might like the Tokina 25-50mm F4 zoom. One of the fun finds by Andy Lee, who started this thread long time ago. You could get it in Pentax or Nikon mount and adapt it to your EF mount camera. You can get them for less than 15 dollars or even less than ten! Great 2x range and quality. Nice haptic quality and great size. Got mine for less than 15 bucks with shipping included!
  18. Hey Andrew, what a great idea! 1. my most used camera is the GX85 with either Fujinon Cmount 12.5mm 1.4 or boosted Canon FD 28mm F2.8. Most current camera is the Lumix S1 with different flavors of FD mount lenses like Vivitar 90mm Macro or Canon FD 20mm. Super fun focal lengths and lenses on the larger sensor. So here is a pic of my most recent camera which puts out an incredible image even in its 8bit 709 profiles, coupled with the Vivitar 90mm. 2. I´m a filming addict who needs his daily camera exercises. To this day I admire old school Eoshd articles and the film making essays of Tony Zhou, which are magnificiant for everyone who wants to learn film. Film making to me is a rather personal than industrial affair. I enjoy to be on creatively challenging sets with limited resources. Have been a gaffer for quiete a few gigs now and hope these guys don´t forget pay me back on my sets some day:) 3. favorite hobby is getting lazy and growing a belly.:) I love stills photography and used to love any kinds of sports. Favorite athletes are Katharina Witt, Mike Tyson and Zidane. 4. I am looking forward for EOSHD to stay welcoming towards different people, flavors and opinions other than mine.:) I wish for some friends to come back like @kidzrevil, @maxotics and others. I would love more articles of overseen gems and nerd machines like LX100, modded Sony A6000 or the Pentax lens which is a Zeiss. And most of all more film vignettes by Andrew Reid, the man himself! I would have loved a follow up blog post on the EOSHD 200EUR camera challenge. Would love more official and moderated challenges like that. 5. I miss certain things in culture, arts, solidarity, intellect, kindness and sensuality the most, since commercial culture and dull salesman blahblah and mentality have been pushing anything else aside. 6. First time reading Eoshd could have been around 2012 when reading about the GH2 on dpreview. Beautiful times! Now, interested in your posts, dear friends!
  19. Hallo Glenn, beautiful creamy tones. Nikon lens shooting a beautiful Canon FD camera! That is what I call camera love.:)
  20. Hmm, I cover myself in silence:)
  21. Hey friend, still thinking about getting my hands on a F3. I own a FS700 and used it only once on a paid gig. Likeable camera, great battery life without need for Vmount batteries. Image of internal SLOG is pretty good too, only in fast movement there is rather large blocks, artefacts. So was thinking of using the FS700 in internal as C100 made by Sony.:) So how is the lowlight and image of F3 compared to the FS700, internal and external HD vs. downscaled 4k to 2K? Does it have cinema 2k? cheers and thanks
  22. Andy Lee left us when we all were regaining our confindence in 8bit MFT cameras due to his G7 tests. Bought mine because of his posts, then he left the forum. I barely used it because GAS made me buy the GX85 right after it. And I was still enjoying my mighty old G6. @kidzrevil was one of my favorite camera fans, just like @maxotics was one of my fav tech professors. One should never get into lengthy posts with cynincal and hostile touches. By the way, no country is greater than others. Great is not a measurable quality, just a measure to get disgusted by if meant in superiour self assurance. I miss a few posters but I have been away for a while too. I hope Kidz will come back posting.
  23. Shame on me. I got a few Tevidons and gave up on them already (no quiet, of course::), when the C-mount version didnt have the right flange via C-mount adapter. So, hopefully, I will get to test, if the 35mm and the 70mm really fit the S35 image circle. Love my 20mm FD on the 135 ("full frame")sensor size. Puts out a beautiful image. Some lens lovers regard it a good lens for its time I regard it as a winner for moving images. Sharp enough for me. Intersting side note, I never seen my images on a screen or projection screen larger than 12 feet wide. Lens owning plan would be that dream duo of 21mm and 40mm Voigtlaender M mount, one for mft and both of them for the "large" sensor.
  24. I always appreciated an honest point of view. Because it was just that: a personal opinion, which was not worse than mine just because of being different from mine. It becomes of course very unpleasant with obvious misantrophic and cyninc opinions. Some people and friends on this forum happened to have voted for the current president. They are awesome contributors and human beings, kind, helpful, gentle. I am sure that Andrew will not ban them! For the hateful commenters I would wish to give them another chance at showing their humane side. A very few self proclaimed liberal contributors have not been too well mannered neither, with a few stronger lacks of reason and logic in their argumentation, lack of the least amount of manners as well. Like I stated before a few months ago, I find that technology race for 8K kinda obscene, all the natural resources, all that power hungry streaming, all that for some lowest common denominatr of media content, subpar entertainment. We are all involved in that kind of 1st world obscenity and hypocracy. Let´s not get sucked into mob mentality. I would have loved a Blackmagic Cinema Camera 2.5K with 60p mode and a 15ms readout and decent battery life. Enough camera for fantastic cinematic image quality and engough space for nerdom, lens freakery, diy stuff, behind the scenes footage... Andrew should repost some of his awesome blog posts of the past. They hold so much more inspiration for the future filmmaker than some dull tech reviews of current hyper, 8k, 2000fps camras on some gadget websites. I mean ladys stockings for lens filter, hallo, now we are talking and testing!:)
