@mercermaybe you could chim in, you´ve been an advocat for that lens, so I´ve bought one too a couple months ago. But still would need to know what would be the best cmount adapter for it?

1. 70ies style. Robert Redford at the docks:) 2. 80ies. NYPD 3. 90ies. Of course:)

Hey, so what´s the deal with the crop as mentioned before, 4K in 2.4 crop compared to 36x24 FF? If full APSC sensor and good codec, this would be very interesting, another IF battery life and heat work in favor. No 25 or 30p then? Kinda exited to see more canon colors with good 4KtoHD resolution:) You guys are suckers! Making people want to buy stuff:)

Such awesome thread and posts. Shows how much of a great community this often is. Discussing with eachother instead of one against another. Some awesome inspiration I had been getting from post like these. I searched the Eoshd treasure chests for gems like these. This is a great archive. Found some more musicvideso from Oliver Daniel. That kid has been putting out stuff for years now. Just like Mattias doing his awesome camera and lens video essays.

@kidzrevil you better!

@EthanAlexander my favorite: Let's kick some ice:) Great to see the variety of concept. @mercer Your shots look great. What don´t you like about the 50mm, did you have chroma and UV haze with it? I think FDs are awesome on S35 digital format, but they go bonkers in midday sun.

@kidzrevil Shreeks, the video is not available. Hurry, hurry, hurry, we want to see it. Please don´t hurry, just take your time, stress sucks. Sorry for pushing:)

Hey, cool write up! Thanks. You must have been a follower for a while now, poiniting out Andy Lees movie with a Panny cam He made a lot of people buy these little cameras. I got a G6 and GX85 myself and not using an additional G7, because I am happy with the HD from the G6 and the 4K and stabilization from the GX85. That´s an awesome story, the most famous GX85 in the world! Yeah, please post some footage. cheers, Marty @mercer Hey Glenn, so is it about Minolta lenses or just the 35mm hitting the glass of the focal reducer with its rear element?

Canon 550D with ML high bitrate.

edit:)

what a pretty outfit, Mattias! Is the sensor about as good as from Olys compact cameras like XZ2? I like what I can get out of an XZ10 and its raw files. Video is nice? They should come out with a 2400x1200 sensor for HD raw video and give us the ultimate digital pocket 8mm cam, recording in perfect cdng.

To me, my G6 and GX85 are that: filmcameras. So shooting with film would be great, 8mm accessible, 16mm desireable, 35mm out of reach.

Thanks for pointing out 28 days later. Watched the London solitary sequence. Beautiful. Amazing what people do with just one character an empty city, natural light, suberb blocking and editing and fantastic framing.

I like Fujis ooc colors from their latest cams. Unfortunately (much too strong word) I have not had the opportunity to shoot a XT2 or the likes. From the footage I have seen on the web, beautiful ooc color science for skin and anything else!! What I didnt like was sharp edges around shapes. It´s the same with ooc footage on Lumix cams with electronically connected native lenses. I can grade that video like sharpness of my G6 and GX85 away with curves and wheels. So far I have seen awesome colors but no footage from Fuji shooters without these sharp edges. Not enough people shooting and uploading Fuji shortfilms with older lenses and efforts in post. So Mattias is right, in the end, we need to test ourselves. For instance, I can get all the colors out of my Lumix photo cams I desire to, within the technical limits of 8bit compressed, of course. Other than that, any look is possible. Would love to see more people sharing their footage and BTS break downs. Now that would be really worthy of a camera forum. Andrew Reid used to do this beautifully in his articles. I have only posted a very few times footage of mine. So, let´s do something about that!

Hey, thanks for letting know. F2.8 lookin good for distant shots, centre wise and in the edges, regarding chroma and contrast?

wow, seems like bitrate is too low for All I. IPB might be better. XF looks awesome besides the blacks.

@CharlieHey Charlie, now you can get your camera rollin again. If you are happy with S35 format, which is still the most used one for Hollywood movies, you can just use an ordinary cheap adapter for 15eu that you can buy on Ebay.co.uk or Ebay.de to avoid taxes. I would then recommend getting the 28mm Canon FD for the moderately wider look. It´s my favorite focal length on S35. The Canon 28 FD is the best bargain lens I can recommend. Awesome performance if you don´t mind flares in backlight situations. In harsh sunlight it needs to be graded though, due to chroma. If you get one for 30usd/eu or less, don´t think twice. It can be shot wide open and is still razor sharp. I got the newFD version.

Which focal lenths did you use? How are they different from the ZF and ZE versions regarding optical quality?

THE Juan Melara? Awesome!

@Mattias Burling, out of likes for today. Your lengendary house of moire. We have one here in Berlin as well. It makes almost every camera look bad. It is used by the German docu films association. A great and fun watch Like Iron and me have pointed out, the firmware update gives the A6000 50mbit XAVC. I have graded a friends A7 shots and A6000. A7 looks much worse. From images on the net I take as much info about quality like I did from your house of moire. A7 does not look like a good choice image wise. My suggestion would have been G70 with much better HD than A7, it is not even a contest, lowlight too, once 4K comes into play. But for FF lovers, Charlie did a good choice, since he has the focal reducer option plus 50mbit codec with the firmware update. Swivel screen, no, 24MP and photo quality, yes..

There will be a GX900, a low end model. I think they´ll drop the top (line:), with the GX9 being a middleground camera. Regarding grip, you might be right. One would have to hold it to be sure. To me it doesn´t look like an improvement in that regard. If EVF quality is the same as on the GX85, not so nice in my eyes.

Exactly! Lowlight on the A7 is worse than on the G7. If you use G7 in 4K, it´s not even a contest. Plus the codec is one of the worst of the last five years of DSLMs. It has an image like the VG10, aliasing and mushy and falling apart quickly. It will look nice with blurred out background though. Charlie, congratulations. I never filmed with one, but there is a lot of great footage outthere. Still I would have recommended the G7 But A6000 with a focal reducer will satisfy your interest in the look of 36x24mm sensor size. You might also consider the codec update to 50mbit XAVC, which gives you much more robust material. cheers Hallo Yannick, HD on GX85 is not so nice unfortunately. G6 and especially G7 have much better and indeed very nice HD.

It would have been awesome for my needs if it had the GX8 body and high bitrate plus resolution for HD up to 60p. I think this camera will not sell well. I find this camera weird since there is a GX85, which is only 4MP short of 20MP. I think you might not find a difference in ergos compared to the GX85 which did not fare so well to your needs. Though if EVF is great then it could be interesting.

@Charlie Hallo, since you are asking. I would rather suggest a 5diii instead of an A7. I think A7 looks awful video wise. Or you can get a Lumix G6 for really cheap, having a nice gradeable codec and beautiful HD. If you did so great with the GH2, you will love the G6. That, if video is your main goal. G7 has even better HD plus 4K and in 4K one stop better lowlight, iso 1600 being good enough. It might be the best deal for DSLM videoshooters.

Very exited about this camera! If playing with curves keeps and supports that Fuji color magic, having good battery life, no overheating, awesome low light and exellent robust codec, this camera will raise my intention, as the XT2 with its image and especially colors had my curiousity. All for a price of the GH5, contendender, the Fuji color magic, lowlight cinemacamera. But image has to be workable/adjustable while maintaing its color magic!
