Can anyone point me in the right direction? I'll be posting another video showcasing one of my favorite micro four thirds lenses, the Olympus 75mm f/1.8, in just a couple of weeks. A still I found on Flickr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PannySVHS Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 @kidzrevil, you better tell us the focal length(s) you naughty! Looking gooood. Where is the video?:) cheers 3 hours ago, jase said: Maybe Andrews review might help? http://www.eoshd.com/2015/01/slr-magic-10mm-t2-1-review/ Never getting tired of some good old fashioned Seb Farges action. He is the man of joyful video work, full of life and energy and awesome taste in lenses. Here it comes, from the man himself, slr magic 10mm: Enjoy I bet Zak, @Zak Forsman, can give some more insight on the slr magic 10mm. I think it shows some very interesting characteristics in term of close to midshot distance bokeh, great dynamic perspective when moved in z axis and around the subject.

Is this considered the same optically as the Contax Zeiss 'Hollywood' 28 F2? I quite like it, regardless, and it only cost £300. Congrats! As far as I know, the ZF is sharper at the edges when wide open and sharper for distant shots when wide open. Flaring is also much less. Great buy, you got yourself a modern "Hollywood". Oh, yeah, and show us some footage please, if possible. Beautiful lenstest vids are the best! TwoScoops 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone else is offering it on there right now for 750. PannySVHS 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PannySVHS Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 You lucky!:) I won and bought an Olympus Zuiko 28mm F2.0. Hope to get to test it soon. Need to buy another adpater. It´s just not fun to buy adapters as it is with buying lenses. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a Kiron Kino f2, which performed astonishingly poor unfortunately for my taste. Though it was in perfect condition, like brand new. Well, couldnt resist. I must post another Seb video. This time the legendary 12mm. Will be my next lens and a native one after a long time again.

It was a heart wrenching sale, but I lack a camera to use it with so it helped to offset the cost of the Canon EF 35mm f2.

TheRenaissanceMan Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 It's not the 10mm, but this is the video that convinced me to go the SLR Magic route when I first got into micro four thirds. Far and away one of the most cinematic videos I've ever seen on the GH4. mercer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinegain Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 TRM, your signature mentiones Leica R primes, do you happen to have some insight on either 35mm f/2 Summicron or f/2.8 Elmarit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidzrevil Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 @PannySVHS I shot this with the nikkor-h 85mm f1.8 w/ tiffen black satin diffusion & a nikkor 24mm f2.8 w/ black satin. All these vintage nikkors have crazy 3d rendering in comparison to some of the ais glass but they aren't as optically corrected for CA & distortion.

I haven't used the elmarit, but the summicron is freaking gorgeous. Our go to lens on virtually everything. A bit creamier wide open, but stop down and the contrast snaps in for a crisper look. Like two lenses in one, and gorgeous both ways. The 35 summicron anchors my lineup. Then I've got the 50 and 90 summicrons, as well as the 28 elmarit. Would love a 19 to round out the set, especially on s35, but it's just not in the budget right now. Cinegain 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinegain Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 29 minutes ago, TheRenaissanceMan said: [..] Ooh, sounds nice. Thanks, appreciated. I've got the 50 myself as well, great for portrait stuff and nice boosted on m4/3 still, just think the 35mm makes for a better allrounder and something to compliment the 50 in general, staying on the same look palette. Just wasn't sure about Summicron VS Elmarit, there's quite the gap in price for that additional 0.8. The 'Leica' branded 50 f/2 can occassionally be found for less than 500 EUR, while the 35 f/2 Leica is hard to find below a 1000. Of course a cheaper Leitz would be the way to go then. Must be sweet to have a set like that. Noice going! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He really captures a late 70s/early 80s NYC film look with his videos. I love the slow dolly in he does in that video. Are you still using a GH3, or have you upgraded to a GH4 or GH5 now? It seems like the GH4 could be a great deal as the prices drop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonpais Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Allow mine to be the sole dissenting voice. Seb Farges's video is far too harsh and blurry to my eyes, and Colby Moore's, even though sharpening has been turned all the way down in camera, appears to have had quite a bit of sharpening added in post. The one still from Flickr is pretty soft to my eyes as well. It could not fill my 27" monitor without being a blurry mess. But opinions are what makes the world go 'round, I guess. The difference in crop factor between the videos shot with the SLR Magic 10mm T2.1on the GH4 (2.3X crop factor) and say, the Leica 12mm f/1.4 on the GH5 (no additional crop in 4K) would be negligible, and the quality of the Leica is far superior to that of the SLR Magic. If a cine lens is what you need, I'd check out the Veydra 12mm T2.2. Unlike SLR Magic, the Veydra lenses all have matching T-stops, same size filter threads and identical outer diameter for easy switching between lenses when using a follow focus. @jase I prefer the look and style of your videos.
