25Apr Canon EOS to M4/3 speed booster from Mitakon
I found this one by accident while searching for more Panasonic Gh4 lens options. Apparently Mitakon, the company that makes that mysterious 35mm f0.95 lens I posted this morning also makes a very interesting Canon EOS to M4/3 speed booster style adapter. The focal multiplier for this guy is 0.726x so a Canon 50mm f1.4 would be a […]
25Apr Panasonic 12-35mm f2.8 vs Olympus 12-40mm f2.8 Full test
Before I left for NAB at the beginning of the month I posted this quick flicker test between the Panasonic 12-35mm f2.8 and the Olympus 12-40mm f2.8 lenses. Above is the rest of the tests I ran between the two lenses before I left town. This includes flicker tests that cover more f-stops on each […]
25Apr Mitakon 35mm f0.95 for the Panasonic GH4?
From what I’ve heard, my Panasonic GH4 body will be shipping out sometime next week and I’m still on the hunt for lenses. I’ve been looking into the Voigtlander Nokton 25mm f/0.95 as a good fast manual prime for the GH4 but the new price is a little steep at around $1000. I might still […]
22Apr Radeon R9 290x GPU prices fall, best value card for Adobe CC?
Adobe started officially supporting the Radeon R9 290 series graphics cards in december and the original list prices for these GPU’s looked pretty nice at $399 for the R9 290 and $549 for the R9 290x. In most tests the R9 290 and R9 290x performs with in about 5% of the GTX 780 at $499 and […]
18Apr Varavon Panasonic Gh4 machined Camera cage
Varavon had some very interesting prototypes at their booth this year at NAB. They had one of the sexest looking Panasonic GH3/GH4 cages I came across on the floor. Machined from a single block of aluminum, the reps said this was actually one of the first prototypes from the factory floor. The final version will […]
13Apr Panasonic GH4 4k High ISO testing
Even though the Sony a7s looks to be an amazing camera, I still have my eye on the Panasonic GH4. Having 4k in such a tiny little package at that price point really makes the GH4 attractive for lightweight travel. The only real concern I had was high ISO shooting. If the GH4 can deliver […]
12Apr Sit down talk with the guys from Next Wave DV
Ian and I had a chance to sit down with Tony and Sean from Next Wave DV yesterday morning. It was a bit informal but we had a pretty good time. I might have been off on a few things, i.e. 2.7k on the gopro not 2.5k and 32,000 iso is 8 stops not 10, […]
09Apr First look at the Panasonic GH4k – Hands on
Panasonic was kind enough to let us play around with the Panasonic GH4 and film at their booth. Not a whole lot has changed in terms of shape and design with the GH4. The body feels very similar to the GH3 I was playing around with last week. Up close the screen looked pretty nice […]
01Apr Panasonic 12-35mm f2.8 vs Olympus 12-40mm f2.8 flicker test
First, sorry for my lack of enthusiasm in this video, I filmed this right after a 12 hour shoot that sucked the life out of me. Still after all of the debate I really wanted to find out more about the aperture flicker many of you were reporting. I’ve watched the test clips a number […]
27Mar Olympus 12-40mm f2.8 lens – First Impressions
I just got my hands on the Olympus 12-40mm f2.8 lens and shot this quick hands on video. The Design feels pretty solid and I think there might actually be more metal on the Olympus than the Tamron 24-70mm f2.8. Build quality is top notch. I know there was a pretty strong divide between a number of you […]
