17May Panasonic 25mm f1.4 lens, a pretty affordable prime.
Even though I picked up the coveted Voigtlander 25mm f0.95 lens I still like to have auto focus when possible. With that in mind I just grabbed the child size Panasonic 25mm f1.4 lens. The Voigtlander will still be my shallow depth of field monster for the Panasonic GH4 but at a price of around $450 used the 25mm […]
16May Radeon R9 290x used prices down to $300
If you haven’t already, you might want to check out my rendering tests with the R9 290x. While the 290x doesn’t support CUDA, openCL has come along way in terms of rendering performance in Adobe CC and the used prices make it a very attractive option. Right now the used prices for the R9 290x are […]
16May Sony A7s $2498 official pricing announced.
At 12:00 A.M. this morning Sony officially announced pricing and a release date for the new A7s. When I first heard about this camera I was very disappointed at the lack of internal 4k recording, but after getting my hands on it at NAB it completely changed my mind. While I’m disappointed that Sony chose […]

15May HMNSound $79 Lavalier mic – First impressions
I just got this sub $100 Lav microphone in from HMN Sound. Base price is $79 and you can get these with pretty much any wireless system adapter you like. In this cause I went for the Sennheiser twist lock adapter (extra $20) since most of my wireless units are Sennheiser G2 or G3 units. There isn’t […]
14May Panasonic GH4 weather seal testing
If you’ve been wondering why I’ve been missing from the internet for the past week and half or so, it’s because I was in France and Iceland. I made the decision to travel with only the Panasonic GH4 for the trip so I could shoot some 4k test footage and get a better feel for the camera. […]
02May Panasonic GH4 finally showed up
The fast shipping ebay seller ended up getting the GH4 body to me faster than B&H and as of this morning (writing this at 4 a.m.) prices have started to drift up to around $2000 if you want a GH4 before the end of next month. My B&H order did finally ship so maybe that’ll […]
02May Samsung 4k monitor U28D590D – First Impressions
The Samsung U28D590D 28 inch 4k monitor just showed up from Amazon. I picked this up over easter while it was on sale for $599 but shipping was delayed several times on my order before it finally made it to Fedex. Sometimes Amazon Prime shipping just doesn’t live up to its super fast delivery promise. Inside the […]
