Re: Knowing what the auto ISO is on
Don,
Our GH2's don't have the mechanical rotating shutter that "rule" came from. So the 180 degrees thing is totally meaningless as is the "religious" 1/48th second shutter speed "Holy Grail". ...

Re: Recommended SD cards
SanDisk from B&H. SanDisk is the most counterfeited brand of media card on the market so that should tell us all something. B&H is a retailer that sets the "Gold Standard" for integrity in dealing...

Re: Stupid cheap deal on Lumix 45-200
I paid $249 plus shipping for mine (B&H) a few months ago and consider it worth EVERY PENNY of that price I paid.
But now it's at $199 thru May 5th there too.

Re: WANTED: Most "film look" bang for the buck?

Re: WANTED: Most "film look" bang for the buck?
I'm in full agreement with all Seth says here and in the rest of his post. I was never in motion picture film at a professional level, I used a fair amount of 8mm (mostly Kodachrome) and some 16mm. ...

Re: Legacy zoom lens for doc work
That Lumix 14mm is so tiny it's easy to "lose" in a corner of the bag. Since you already own it, that's your best solution for in the car. I have both that and the 20mm and they are great lenses...

Re: Legacy zoom lens for doc work
Jeroen:
You're going to need wider than 24mm or even 18mm inside that car. Take the "kit" 14-42mm that came with the GH2 and shoot some footage simulating what you're going to do with a couple of...

Re: Portraits: Use GH2 or purchase 5Dmkii ?
Jeff, here's a bit more on lighting that should help you.
The "fill" light (from as close to the camera axis as you can manage) establishes minimum scene brightness, and should provide a "gentle...
