Re: Fixed, fast lens for FS5

I have the sigma art 35mm. In my opinion if you're not getting a fast prime, why not use a zoom? At 1.4 it's pretty fast but the 2.8s mentioned above seems like a shame to get a prime that slow.

Re: Fixed, fast lens for FS5

I think I would have to go wth the 35mm. I typically shoot interviews with a 50 and b-roll with a 35mm but with the image zoom it's essentially a 35-70 1.4.

Re: FS5 - Macro blocking codec issue in 4k??

Wouldnt proving that the camera can record beautiful images on three gammas prove its not a hardware issue. Gammas are a software change, so it's clearly not the chip.

Re: FS5 - Macro blocking codec issue in 4k??

Yeah it shows the nasty edges at 3200 and above on other gammas. Below 3200 and it completely goes away. I think you could get a pretty good look with 709 800% and adjusting the profile if you wanted...

Re: FS5 - Macro blocking codec issue in 4k??

I just did some testing with my fs5 on a large tv and I found three gammas that look excellent in 4K. Rec709 800%, slog2 and slog 3. In my opinion this will cover most any shooting situation with...

Re: Native micro 4/3 lens

Outside of the Nokton, there aren't many native m4/3 lenses to choose from that are fast. It is probably a safer bet to go Nikon mount or something that will future proof your lenses, or at least...
