*where do you go from the cineon conversion

Interesting... where do you from the cineon conversion? Is there a good cineon to rec709 LUT? The normal emulation looks like magic bullet to me, yeah.

Will the S1 power grades work for EVA1 and Varicam? Also is it possible to make these transforms into LUTs? Can't you export a power grade as .cube? Would it be possible to do a more accurate "film look" this way? I don't understand why FilmConvert doesn't really look that good to me, but the Brim does a pretty good job to my eyes and Arri originally had a special Log C setting meant to emulate film scans. It was problematic and they discontinued it, but the colors were a perfect math to 5219 I think. Log C now has its own look, a bit more like reversal than color negative imo.

I agree with @BrooklynDan although IBIS on the S1 performs way better than I'd expected. And for the intended purpose of having a small camera that delivers a useable image it's pretty stunning and complements the form factor remarkably well. It's way way more usable than I expected and a pretty good option given a lack of viable alternatives for small form factors. But I prefer the Aaton/Arri 416 form factor or the Amira over the Red/EVA1/Alexa Mini form factor, too, and it's an issue with prosumer cameras that the form factor really makes no sense ergonomically. Too big for IBIS to make sense, too small to be shoulder-mounted comfortably. I keep going back to the $30 cowboy studio stabilizer, which somehow distributes weight evenly even with a front-heavy camera by clamping around your back. For 2-4 pound prosumer cameras and cameras without IBIS, I've found it preferable to a shoulder rig.

Put a matte box in front of it. 😉

I've only use the 24-105mm L IS version 1, which was okay. Haven't used the V2. The 24-105mm is a more complicated design, it goes from wide angle to slight telephoto and it's full frame and a stop faster so it's entirely possible the STM is a better performer except you lose the 24-55mm range. Probably the image quality is really close from both. I would choose based on what focal lengths you need, the image quality from both will be great. I got the 55-250mm for $99 on Black Friday refurbished from Canon I think so at the very least it's (more than) worth the money... Lately I've been focusing more on narrative/home movie stuff (well, except for the lockdown making that kind of impossible so just camera tests right now) so others might have better advice. I haven't tried the 24-105mm v2 with DPAF so I really have no idea.

35mm Schneider Cine-Xenon Trees and windows.

Anyone tried it? I think the Cinegon does but I prefer the Cine-Xenon's bokeh.

Yes I think you're right. I was having a similar issue in 6K photo mode with colors blotching/banding, I think that is HEVC. And transcoding solved it. But I think you're right that the 150Mbps is h264. No idea what's going on in that case...

Steinheil Cassar S 50mm f2.8. Running out of trees to photograph. 😞

Are you using Adobe or transcoding to ProRes with Apple software first? Adobe's interpretation of HEVC is broken. I can post comparisons if you're curious. I transcode to ProRes (in Finder, actually) first and it dramatically improves the HEVC image.

Any chance of 5.9k raw out on the S1 or is a hardware limitation? That's a killer feature.

Just got V Log yesterday so no nice whether to shoot under. 50mm f1.2 Olympus here. No floating element so sharp at portrait distance and soft at infinity. 4:3 photo mode is.... excellent.

Very interesting..... I have tried the 55mm Aspherical on the S1H and it's stellar. Can't imagine how great it looks on medium format. Not a big fan of corner sharpness. More into lenses with a lot of curvature of field (soft corners and swirl bokeh). S1 and S1H have a great hidden anamorphic mode but it's only 30p. 6k photo mode set to 4:3 is 4992X3744, 95% of the full sensor height. Not sure how 4992 is 6K but the image is excellent. 75mm Lomo anamorphic should cover. Leica Summitar and Kodak Ektar (47mm) are also interesting if you like swirl bokeh. No idea if they cover more than 135. I suspect the 47mm Ektar is what Arri is rehousing in DNA.

I would also like to see anamorphic IBIS on the S1. 😞

Have you tried any of the FD primes other than the 85mm FD L? 50mm FD L is rumored to cover Alexa65 I think. I assume the 24mm FD L wouldn't cover, but wouldn't know. I have read many Nikkors cover Alexa65, too and that is an even larger image circle. I wouldn't be surprised if most 135 glass covers 2.35:1 on Fuji. The image circle is only 3-4mm larger than they're designed for. Some madman should try E mount speed boosters on full frame and see what kind of coverage they get with 135 glass. Wish there were more L mount speed boosters out there.

I have this but I got it for half price open box: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07N1B4LNX/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It's not bad at all. Slight warm cast but really good otherwise. It might even be the same OEM. You can always use a step up ring fwiw.

Is the APS-C mode in the S1 pixel/pixel? The manual seems to indicate otherwise? I'm assuming 6k photo mode is pixel/pixel at least. It's very good. Probably easy to record a clip in each mode and compare the UHD center crop.

It's in 30p for one thing but it also feels like there's a bit of skew or IBIS wobble with it, too. Nice image, though.

I know the anamorphic adapters themselves aren't... very good... But how complicated can a one-element diopter be? The 95mm 0.5 and 95mm 1 diopters are $200 for the set, about 1/4 what a bespoke set would cost from Schneider and 1/20th what it would cost to get Digidiopters. Has anyone tried these? Not the variable diopters, either, but just a close up filter.

Yeah, it looks good: Another question: I'm assuming this 5K is pixel/pixel. It just makes sense given the FOV. The "video" pixel/pixel mode is like 1080p or something... is the APS-C UHD mode also pixel/pixel?

Thanks... but I am assuming no way to shoot photo mode in 24p? That would just be too cool.

Can IBIS be enabled in "6k" photo mode? If only they had a 24p photo mode...
