Emanuel Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Exaustive testing means too little when the task is not peanuts and people tend to expect it like that or are unable to go beyond. Life is not easy. Not even when we're used to take it accordingly. Enough is not always enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hyalinejim Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 This is great fun! Does anybody's friends / family / wives / boyfriends tell them they're probably a little bit crazy for getting the popcorn out while eagerly awaiting the next instalment in the GH5 autofocus YouTube saga. So, PhotoJoseph is maybe going to visit Max and possibly stay over. And Peter Gregg''s dog is called Jingles and he doesn't like cleaning the kitchen but he really likes Christmas. I mean, I didn't even know who these people were yesterday! zetty, Orangenz, Phil A and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emanuel Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 There's no bad publicity. It is not a matter of disrespect -- the guy even seems pretty honest on his effort, but objectiveness and excellence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbp Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Man, I must say, a few years ago I would have never guessed that auto focus of all things would be such a heated debate topic on these forums! zetty 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I've just done a little edit up there) That's non sense. We need to be able to stand any discussion when polite. I won't second you, though. I'll still be able to follow and like your posts when you make it happen. I'll miss your usual likes anyway. Pity you're unable to be reciprocal for such matter ;-) YT mediocrity rules over our heads. zetty and Orangenz 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a company trying to lasso prosumer videographers why are all their lenses fly-by-wire with shoddy af? Shouldn't they come out with fast zooms and primes that you can use manually and on a follow focus system? zetty and jonpais 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This thread would be a lot easier if you'd tag yourselves as being pro max (he can do no wrong) or pro gh5 (he can do no wrong) or maybe that 3rd option no one is interested in that the "GH5 smacks everything else down in many areas, is equal in many others, but only a bit better (ohhh there's an argument) than the GH4 on AF and we guessed that (well JP did anyway) absolutely ages ago" group. I think Max does a lot of weddings and leaving AF on - set and forget - is really important to him and presumably many others.

Emanuel Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Indeed. Disappointing to see. Frankly and I hope sincerity here may be tolerated and really welcome instead, correctness (in every way) should overcome our personal tastes. They can lead us to fail.
