I hoped and I wished but I only loaned slightly!

I’ve got €1000 burning a hole in my pocket if you want? 😉 That was and still is my feeling as in it has more video capability over stills compared with it’s predecessor, but is no updated replacement for the S1H. I still think I’d go for one if I didn’t have my A7RV, if only to keep both my stills and video within the same family, but the simple reality is for stills alone, I still (no pun intended) prefer the Sony and bring lenses into the equation and it’s even more clear cut for me. It will be interesting however if Sigma do bring out a longer sibling to the 28-45mm f1.8 because if it’s anything like a 45-90mm f1.8, we now have parity on glass as both L and Sony can take these lenses. At that point…and only that point, would I consider a flip. And there is no sign of that second lens as things stand, just ever more long zoom lenses 😏

Oh, it’s a Black Magic voodoo bollocks event. I thought it was a trade show jobbie. My bad 🙈 I still would like those objects though!

I'm really only interested in 2 specific things and I doubt either of them will be announced there or any time soon. A longer sibling to the Sigma 28-45mm f1.8 such as a 45-90mm f1.8 A cracking high megapixel, fast lens fixed or interchangeable (I don't care which) rangefinderesque full frame camera. Something to succeed the Sony RX1R that is not the Fuji GFX 100 RF. I don't think I'll get either...

Well I just ordered the 3 new used prime lenses I need for this year for my S9, an 18, a 50 and the 85. I'd rather have gone for the 100 over the 85, but as they are about twice the price...and those 18's aren't exactly cheap! Let's hope my delivery turns up! It's DHL rather than MPB from this point forwards and with delivery they are usually 'OK', but absolutely terrible with pickups.

4000 is the second native ISO with Lumix!

Just based on the thumbnails, really nice work Kye.

It wasn’t a biopic then?

But what choices are there currently other than: Decade old RX1Rii Sigma FP/L Leica Q3/43 And the new Fooj. Which is why I use my Zf as such with the 40mm f2 SE welded on. I just wish it was smaller and had 50+ mp…

The only way they could have improved upon this would have been having the artist formerly known as Ridley Scott, at the helm.

Large sensor more compact bodies are my jam!

MUCH better body than the S5 line, but the S5ii beat it for me for: 6k open gate, LUT support, IBIS and crop markers…otherwise I would definitely have gone for it! The rumor is of course an ‘S5ii’ in an ‘FX’ style body incoming…

Ditto, but then I also wanted IBIS. And a second back up card slot. And 4k 60p. Plus there was this lovely wooden grip that Sigma used to make but stopped and could I find one on eBay, Etsy, or anywhere? Nope. If it had just had IBIS, that was the one deal breaker for me, the rest I could compromise on and I would have done the flip screen. Too late now but that body design and that of the FX3/30 are my faves for my video work…but I am with LUMIX.

Very cool but I bet he can’t recreate Ana de Armas in my living room. It’s his next challenge.

Leica, Hasselblad and Sigma seem to be the only one’s making ‘want it’ bodies these days, for me anyway, but an honourable mention to Sony for the FX3/30. Fuji kind of with certain models, Nikon and Canon less so though at least they are trying with the Zf and Canon’s supposed imminent rival. But Lumix, nah. Innovative in some of the tech, but not the actual chassis which are all very pedestrian. But do they need to be simply functional and that is it? No. Folks like pretty things. Come on Lumix, give us a pretty thing, an S1Rii in a rangefinderesque body 🥰
