Foto Braune has the Pentax 28mm f2? That Hollywood has to wait:) I was hoping, my sample of Oly Zuiko 28mm F2 would cut it. But it is worse at F4 than my Canon 28mm F2.8 is with open aperture. Foto Braune said to me, the Zuiko is supposed to be the Hollywood design. A German forum has nothing but praises for it and its floating element. Those guys are real nerds. Guess, I got a rather average sample then. Btw, why did you have to write that pentax article back then? Prices have been going through the roof since then!:) Well, we didnt break up because of you, my friend Thanx for the link. This looks like a classy place for lenses!

Massive post, Andrew! Thanks! Richard gave one to you, awesome! That seems to be a 0.66 converter then. Unfortuntely Richard doesnt seem to build his classics anymore but rather classy highend cinema products. Andrew, you know, since your GH4 review, I have been joking with my back then girlfriend that she would have to stay by herself if I met you at Mauerpark:) Foto Braune, was there last Friday, talking for one hour. He has a beautiful Soligor 28mm 2.0 there in Konica AR mount, so not for speedbooster use. Still looking for the perfect 28mm for less thant 200 EU. The Oly Zuiko does not seem to be it, if going from my sample. You don´t have an Easyrig laying around, catching dust? Guess, I gonna have to rent one from Dino. Anyway, I am very happy that you and HockyFan two took my approach seriously and honoured it with beautiful replies. Thank you, guys! cheers, love and thread closed!

@HockeyFan12 Yesterday I typed that into Ebay search, using the syntax of the WD H55:) So that 18mm 3.5 is awesome wide open then? By the way, found this a few minutes ago. What is up with that? Putting a 0.5 on a 0.8? Funky! http://www.ebay.com/itm/Tokina-PRO-0-5X-Wide-Angle-Lens-Fits-Canon-WD-H72-for-Canon-XH-G1-XL2E-XL2-/330722998331?hash=item4d00a0783b:g:yGMAAOxyVX1Rso3R

You threee posters above are worth of what you might consider my insult. Or maybe you don´t deserve my harsh attack: You four! posters above have been ignoring my quest for specific support! I understand you, being ashamed of not being able to provide knowledge about good wide angle adapters! Nothing to be ashamed of, saying: "Panny, I cannot help you on wide angle adapters. These converters are not supposed to be used by the high end user of sophisticated taste." That would be much better than being quiete about it. You five! posters are of sophisticated taste! That was my insult. @Ed_David, It was in the beginning era of Skinhead movement, when Jamaican immigrant kids gave them poor working class kids Ska and Soul music, they were brothers and sisters! Solidarity and cool music. Racsim later infiltrated that proud and powerful youth movement and life style. Pride was pushed towards the matter of skin tone. In "Harlan County USA", the oscar winning doc filmmaker and her team show a lot of stuff, which might be from another culture than yours. It shows blackness of coalminers, there is no skin color as a dividing but unifying factor. The discourse of white guilt is one of ruling class to equalize responsibility for the crimes of the past and the future. Since whiteness can never be overcome, so shall not be the social, economic and judical differences. Whiteness and white privilegue are hypocrite terms of a hypocrite racist and chauvinist strategy to rule above and exploit others. Punk went from the US to Europe, got political, went back to the US, went to GDR, to Poland, to the USSR, all which are called Eastern Block now! There is a lot of stuff, the term white privilegue neglects. On purpose. On purpose. Believe me. They do it on purpose! Oh, my diction is getting it wrong now, thought it was being my trump:) Ed David is an awesome name, I call that a true privilegue!

Hallo, thank you very much! That is very reasonable. I could put an 0.8 on my FD20mm. But for thread 72mm they are rare enough. That combined with a Chinabooster and its factor 0.71 would give me a factor of around 0.57, giving me around 11.5mm on MFT. I was hoping for some quick way to find a less rare 0.5 for 52mm or 55mm thread. Silly me, I know so little due to limited access to lenses and lack of optical theory and knowledge! No easy way into the lens owning game. I like my 28mm better than the 20mm regarding tactility and ergonomy. No easy way into the lens operating game neither:)

Hey Jon, I read Noams article a few days ago due to cinegains recommendation. These Veydras look tasty indeed. The affordable Rokinon models look boring from the outside:) And they have a rather cheap tactile feel, though focussing is smooth, as is their aperture wheel. That SLRmagic 12mm version I is indeed a soft sucker, as you stated. I didnt wanna believe you, but it is at F4 when it is starting to considerably sharpen up and becoming nice. Would shoot it at 2.8 for macro and distorted POV stuff. Still a fun lens, making me want a 12mm native prime with nice T 2.0 or 2.2 or 2.5 performance or a 17 or 18mm 2.8 or 3.5 speedboosted with nice performance wide open. Still not buying that Leica 12mm. Oh heck yes, that Laowa 7.5mm is looking tasty! And a Black Pro Mist 1/4! You need some Black Pro Mist just like I need myself some cowbell!:) By the way, watched GX85 HD footage, shot with my FD50mm F1.4 at 5.6 at 8, on a large screen with a nice 8000 EU projector, the aliasing with that high resolving Canon lens in hair and skin pores was fugly, digital brutality, so to say. So for the pure beauty of the image, HD for big screen is to be avoided on the GX85. It was with -5 for noise and sharpness.

I think the Merrills are the best of the bunch regarding image quality. Their best images just look thick, to say in forum speech. The Quatros, when viewed at 100% on a monitor sometimes look dithered to me, when browsing through Flickr. The three Merrills lens sensor combinations are unbeatable for the price.

Are wide angle adapters boring to you? I find their notion attractive. It can make an awesome FD 28mm into a wider one. My SLR magic 12mm version I is actually rather useful to be shot from F4 on, F2.8 is still to blurry for combining it with high resolving vintage lenses such as the FD 28 or FD 50. Also, changing lenses of the same FD mount means, sensor is protected by the glass of the focal reducer, which can be very comforting in challenging shooting situations. So, what´s up, no more nerdom going on here this month? Nor nerdom support when it comes to lending stuff? Forget the GH5, easyrig would be great enough and a Pinza We have a thread on privilegue. I would enjoy the privilegue of your support. cheers, Marty

hey ppz, so, some specific support for the underpreviliged in knowledge, that would be me Any awesome wide angle adapters 0.5x factor in 52 or 55 or 58 thread? So far, over 70 readers of my original post but no one sharing knowledge: Also, no Berliners around here showing some love and lending some equipment?

Hey cats! I am in need of some specific and very direct act of support. An answer to my question from my thread I posted yesterday. What is the best 0.5x wide angle adapter for 52 lens thread? Also, if some Berlin residents could support with lending two Pinza clamp lamps 250-500W for three days or an Easyrig as well, how about a GH5 so I can avoid the nasty battery life of my GX85. That is the groovy thing about having stuff and blessings, sharing it, and may that be knowledge. @Ed_David, @Andrew Reid, you guys know a trick for a nice 0.5x ww adapter? http://www.eoshd.com/comments/topic/25692-i´m-lousy-i-need-help-best-ww-adapter-in-52mm-berlin-residents-around/

Hey guys, I am a lousy, lousy camera nerd. Testing lenses, testing ergos- that 28-85mm F4 Tokina has the best ergos of any photo lenses I have had in my hand, maybe the vivitar 35mm 1.9 is a challenger. But, I missed out on other important stuff for my upcoming shoot of a shortfilm next weekend. 1. I don´t wanna change between FD speedboosted lenses and my SLRmagic 12mm, want to leave the 12mm out of the shoot. So, looking for the best 0.5 wide angle adapter in 52mm thread for my FD 28mm. Which one would that be? 2. Any of you guys are residents in Berlin I could pick up some Pinzo lights from, or some handy clamp lights with a mount for at least 250W tungsten bulbs? Easyrig anybody? Wireless follow focus anyone? GH5 to borrow from? Aaaaarggh!:) cheers n out, Marty

Oh wow, all questions answered, tremendeous job, as the current administration of the land of the great american indie and edgy filmers would say! No fake news! Just awesome test and response. You, jonpais and the others did all handheld shooters an awesome favor and great insight. Thank you very much, Grimor!

Let us know more some time. Always great to see your stuff too. cheers

Yes, a very beautiful lens. Just a very short focus throw with very sudden and hard stops at both ends:) I compared it to the 28mm FD at the wide end. The Canon was even a little bit better resolving wide open, due to being a prime. That little Canon cost me 20 EU on ebay, if I recall right. One of the greatest lenses in price image ratio I know. Both the Tokina and the Canon are better at 2.8 than the pricey Olympus Zuiko 28mm F2.0. Have you shot with the Tokina? I have a soft spot for lens testin footage. Mind to share some, cats and flowers allowed Matt, Glenn! You lazy cats. I have been waiting for that thread. Where is it? Get outta this thread and do the great 8bit mattyNglenn super8bit challenge.

@fuzzynormal, shooting in Berlin? Where are you from? I can sell you a 28mm Olympus Zuiko F2.0 legendary lens. At 2.8 it´s only as good as my 28mm Canon FD at 2.8. But one cost me 25EU, the other one 200:) What are you shooting? You should come back, so we can hang out and film some stuff. Hope, mercer is not reading this and starting to make jokes on my expense now:) I revise: would be cool to meet up with you, so we can film stuff and buy lenses. Sounds silly too. You know what I mean

Wow, this is awesome! EOSHD community supporting one another! Slow pan and quick one, one on fore,-middle- and one on background! Now I am getting greedy. With IBIS, with DualIS, one without. Hot darn, Grimor, you must be very brave to offer this!:) Anyhow, would be great as you like. Awesome. Thanks!

I wrote SD card, panning speed, etc. are sorted out as faulty parameters due to fast card, slow panning speed, with and without IBIS still worse than Lumix G6, etc. That makes encoder and other parameters left for consideration. I´ve read the linked thread. My SD card is a Samsung EVO UHS-I Class 10, model MB-SP32D. With HD and 4K pans having the same jitter problem, it´s not a writing speed related issue. Its write speed is at least 19 Megabytes/ 150 Mbits per second, so plenty for HD and enough for 100mbit which UHD barely reaches. Jonpais has provided his first experience doing a well executed test. Thanks again, Jon! More GX and G85 users might chim in as well. cheers

Holy Spaghettoni! Thank you very much, Jon! This is a great test and i can see jitter. It is less than the jitter in my pans. That´s due to your awesome 12mm Leica lens:) and the distance between the camera and the buildings. It would be much stronger, if about 3 to 6 foot away from the stores. GH5 seems to have the same problem as seen in the videos above. Jon, what´s your conlusion to your test? Thanks a lot again. Watched your Leica Nocti vid again on this occasion:) Color lookin very nice! I did. Please see my previous comments in this thread: I´m doing slow movement, tracking works fine, etc. Also the GH5 videos are illustrating the issue, providing all infos to exclude testers faults.

Awesome. Thank you very much! Though people will wonder why you won´t consider them worthy enough of being filmed, Jon: "Get outta here, I need me some store fronts and brick walls!":)

Thanks. Unfortunately that post does not reveal a solution. @jase, @John Matthews, @Jan G, Maybe some avid GX85 filmers could chim in on this. Already wrote Jonpais, if he could check if his G85 would have the same issue. Hopefully not, of course! So, 7second rule, SD card, calm hand and strong stance, with and without IBIS, etc. didnt matter to the Studder/Flicker/Jitter. By the way, cuz this is getting exhausting, here is a beautiful video I found in the GX85 thread, when looking for avid GX shooters. Awesome vid, with beautiful ooc color, from Jan Groenewoud (Jan G). So I think I need a break from jitter judder and rather watch this beautifully filmed vignette.

I have a nifty setup, rubber bands on my cage and backpack straps:) Seriously, it might be an issue with the encoder in 4K. Haven´t compared HD and 4K yet. Looking at this video, pans with a GH5 without ibis. Jitter! GH5 shows it in this video and test. In this second test, they recorded externally to a Shogun, issue still there:

Color is astonishing in these samples. Video has some awesome color too.

Ouch, flange distance alert:) I could use it on a china booster for m43. Another 100 bucks, oh well, it will have to wait:)

You might wanna get the Minolta 35-70mm 3.5 Macro, version 3. It is supposed to be an exellent vintage buy. Get em while it´s affordable. Version 3 is important, like the one on the picture. Here is an awesome read about it from lens afficiando Phillip Reeve: https://phillipreeve.net/blog/minolta-md-zoom-35-70mm-3-5-review/

Hey kids, 2nd teaser, GX85, profile natural cont+col at 0, noise at -5, sharp at -2. HD 24p. Unlit footage, heavily graded. Shot with 12mm SLRMagic. Mechanically this is a beautiful marvel for handheld shooting. Sharp enough at 2.8, shot at f2.
