There are a lot of second homes in this area owned by people from Madrid so they've targeted those areas to stop the influx from those fleeing it there as most of the positive tests in Murcia have come from people being in Madrid. Roadblocks et al. https://murciatoday.com/murcian_government_decrees_enforced_quarantine_of_a_guilas_san_pedro_san_javier_los_alca_zares_cartagena_la_unia_n_and_mazarra_n_1353560-a.html

In Murcia, where I am, the President of the region has announced the restriction with immediate effect in coastal municipalities, one of which I live in. https://www.eldiario.es/sociedad/Ultima-hora-coronavirus-mundo-Espana_13_1000679924_40595.html

The President of our region here in Spain has just announced that we can't travel in our local municipality to try and contain the spread of the virus because "there is no other option, from this moment there is no freedom of movement" Ironic really as I came here to get away from my own national government taking away my freedom of movement with their lunatic Brexit cult

Depending on what happens in the next month, the price point in the UK will either be around £3.5K or two tins of soup, 20 sheets of toilet paper and two squirts of hand sanitiser. Plus VAT in both cases obviously.

I'm not sure of what is the more ominous indicator of an impending end of days apocalypse, the COVID-19 virus or Canon releasing a camera with such a no holds barred spec.

What the fu..... Oh you meant him. Hopefully

The last time I flew mine, I got so close to a power line that I very nearly ended up with a literal drone sizzle.

Lifted from Reddit last year so whilst there might be a Spam shortage in supermarkets there's clearly no shortage in this thread

Is it this one ? http://www.ggsfoto.com/en/products/OCULAR.html Looks very smart with the Hasselblad 500CM styling ! I bought a (very) cheapo rubber collapsible loupe which was 3.2 inch and works well on the FP but I need to sort out a mount for it. Based on that, the Nikon D5 version of the Ocular would be the one to get as its the same screen size and the frame looks to be equal thickness on each edge. This is a UK dealer/distributor for it https://www.cameraclean.co.uk/products.php?cat=Ocular+Folding+Viewfinder+-+Black I've bought quite a few bits off them at the Photo/Video show at the NEC over the years and they were set to be there for this year's one until the cancellation which would have been an ideal time to have a hands on look at the Ocular. The stuff they pick up distribution for has always been decent quality though so, for me personally, that would maybe less of a risk of the unknown as a blind purchase if they are selling them.

The Ninja V will start recording when it gets the control code from the GH5s through the HDMI port so you should be able to put the GH5s into record using your Ronin and the Ninja V will follow suit as soon as it picks up the code. According to the GH5s manual, this will happen regardless of whether you have a card in the camera. I have the Ninja V but not a GH5s so you should double check this with someone who has the combo or at least confirm it with Panasonic and/or Atomos.

If anyone from the US government is watching this Boris Johnson press conference where he's outlining the UK's updated "response" to the crisis then I'd imagine they'll be seriously reconsidering how wise it was to leave the UK out of the travel ban.

Looks like there has been a big escalation in some of the other countries now, so the UK is now "only" 10th in Europe. Situation is fluid enough though that that could easily change tomorrow as different countries seem to be announcing their updates at different intervals. All the more reason to make it all encompassing. Europe: Italy (12 462), France (2 281), Spain (2 140), Germany (1 567), Switzerland (642), Denmark (516), Netherlands (503), Norway (489), Sweden (462), United Kingdom (456), Belgium (314), Austria (246), Greece (99), Czech Republic (94), Iceland (85), San Marino (66), Finland (59), Portugal (59), Slovenia (57), Romania (45), Ireland (43), Poland (31), Georgia (24), Russia (20), Serbia (18), Croatia (16), Estonia (16), Azerbaijan (13), Hungary (13), Belarus (12), Albania (11), Latvia (10), Slovakia (10), Bulgaria (7), Luxembourg (7), North Macedonia (7), Cyprus (6), Malta (6), Armenia (4), Moldova (4), Bosnia and Herzegovina (3), Liechtenstein (3), Lithuania (3), Andorra (1), Holy See (1), Monaco (1), Turkey (1) and Ukraine (1). https://www.ecdc.europa.eu/en/geographical-distribution-2019-ncov-cases

The only difference with the Shengen area is that there are no internal border checks but we still have visa free freedom of movement between the UK and the Shengen (and other EU27) countries during the exiting of the EU transition period so it is still unrestricted. EDIT>> Sorry mate, I think I now see the point you are making with regard to the travel documentation into the UK if the UK was to be used as a stepping stone. Although with a 14 day requirement in a 30 day window it still will be for people who need to get to the US. For the exclusion of the UK to have any logical sense in terms of an effect on containment (and not just act as a US quarantine ward/waiting room for onward travel) it would require the UK to also stop immigration from the Shengen countries and whilst this is the Brexiters wet dream it won't be happening during transition, not least because the UK does not have the border control resources to do it but also the prospect of reciprocity from the EU27 and Shengen countries for UK citizens would be calamitous. Mind you, it is only 09:00 am in London and Johnson is so in thrall to Trump for the trade deal that that might well happen by tea time There is also the small fact that the UK has more cases of COVID19 than 22 of the countries that are included in this ban. And restricting it to foreign nationals only rather than including US citizens who have been merrily touristing their way around these countries also seems a bit self defeating if your aim is to stop new cases coming into the US ! For what its worth, I think the whole world should self isolate at this point in time but this particular ban just smacks of either politicising it or just plain ignorant stupidity. Neither of which are a good look right now.

Anything else thats an anagram of ban? Speaking of bans, the travel one that Trump has just imposed from Europe that for some reason doesn't include the UK is utterly mind boggling even by his standards.

The former, unfortunately ! I usually find it by accident by leaving it in Cine mode! I haven't done a full on comparison but after messing about with the files then if it was the only option available then I wouldn't be crying into my beer about it completely. The thing is though, with the tiny SSD drives for it (I got one in Japan that makes the Samsung T5 look like a brick in comparison) I think even for stills the SD card might become a bit defunct for me so I'm not sure how often I'd use 8 bit mode. The difference in file size is about 2mb per frame between 8 and 10 bit and from what I understand of other's tests the difference is there between 8 and 10 bit but less so between 10 and 12 bit so 10 bit would be the sweet spot. Its about 3gig per minute more storage but you're already in to fairly hefty storage requirements anyway so it may be a false economy to stick to 8 bit. The elephant in the room whichever flavour of CineDNG you choose of course is the editing workflow and thats something that I've got to tackle.

I'm guessing this must be the size of the cup of tea @Andrew Reid must be finishing off before he give us some more images from the GFX100.

Whoah there, I thought it was only me that was assisting with this project. Who the hell is this other character who was helping you ?

I'll try my best to make it as comprehensive as I can. With regard to 8bit CDNG in B&W with a vintage lens, this is one with an elderly Leica Elmarit R 28mm f2.8 which, again, was the result of an accidental pressing the shutter while still in Cine mode moment ! This is from my upcoming short "When Jet Lagged Wives Attack"

NAB is officially off now. https://nabshow.com/2020/attend/onsite-services/coronavirus-update-and-resources/

A very low budget one made by interns though ! They are stills but its not exactly full moot but certainly moot-ish when it comes to this camera because not only are the CinemaDNG files very much in the same ballpark quality wise but its 440Mbps ALL-I mov mode is pretty malleable as well. This is not exactly a great content example at all and is far from being a deliberate A/B test (it happened because I accidentally had it in Movie mode when I was meant to to take a still ) and it has different framing and in motion etc but hopefully offers some sort of illustration. The top frame is a DNG still and the bottom one is sourced from a screenshot JPEG of the UHD mov file in VLC and then they're coloured to sort of match. I'm taking my time with it before I come to any sort of conclusion and will likely do a review thread when I have. My time with it has been complicated/compromised by the circumstances in Japan as the whole permanent facemask thing is, whilst absolutely necessary, a real pain in the arse when it comes to operating a camera. Particularly one with no EVF as I'm having to hold it at arms length which means I have to put my glasses on which means they are prone to steaming up in the damp weather we had with the breath from the mask etc etc. So now I'm back home I'll be able to look at it in more depth. The initial impression is that the quality is certainly there and that my original view of it when it was first announced as it being the spiritual full frame successor to the original BMPCC has been borne out. But of course, that succession also comes with the same sort of quirks and caveats so its not all golden !

A couple from the 7Artisans 35mm f2 M mount on its new friend the Sigma FP. This is a pretty good value for money lens and its diminutive size makes it a good combination with the FP.

On the upside, I've learnt a lot more about Easyrigs I don't think there's been much more information anywhere about the Canon camera other than source of the initial post to be honest. It was touted as a pre-NAB announcement which made it sound like a spoiler for other manufacturer's launches at the show but world events have rather taken over in the meantime so I think its debatable whether there will actually be an NAB show at all so who knows when/if it will be announced. The irony of course would be if Easyrig are making a special edition for this camera though !

Only if @Andrew Reid pops in and ups the ante with some GFX100 MF trolling of the FF trolling

I can't offer you any advice as I have zero experience but I can offer you a link to where you can have a look at 21 examples from real shows. https://screencraft.org/2019/08/12/21-series-bibles-that-every-tv-screenwriter-should-read/

Builders tea is more an approach than an actual brand but that looks like it will do the trick
