Didn't "our" BTM_Pix have something like this in works?

It's hard to keep up...

Nice.  Maybe this tech will be included in the forthcoming Panny FF Cinema camera, or the GH6 perhaps?

I think so.  Not sure how far it got though.

To the fully working in electric blue case with separate bluetooth remote controller stage thank you very much

I'm looking for some bigger glass as there is currently a limitation on the size of lens it is suitable for.

I did say I'd do a build along thread for it for anyone who wants to have a go as is (cost for the glass and controller is around £50-60) and I will get round to it.

"The Sony FS5 should be ripped apart, put on a Chinese workbench and nobody leave the room until they figure out how it works!!"

Yeah..they would be the ones to blow past IP issues.

Pretty sure Red and Kinefinity both have lens adapters that have electronic ND's in them. So not sure why it is not more common? Now as for in body, maybe Sony has a patent on that??
