I'll look again. I'm a little distracted because I'm having an online war with some asshole on my Youtube page that told me I was moving my Rokinon 24mm Cine lens back and forth to fake ZOOM BREATHING and since my lens wasn't a ZOOM lens I couldn't have breathing!!!!! Yeah, you read all that right and he has a huge as page and reviews gear, now he's thumbs downing all my shit and it's getting pulled down by youtube. Happy times!!

@GravitateMediaGroup Yeah, some of those shots had the look I was thinking about. Looks like a slight grade was done at 35 seconds on the roof...and that's kinda how I thought those lenses would play with Moon. Cool. Thanks.

Guys I already know moon is better - rest assured. Ive measured the DC and QP results. Take it from me. Knew this ages ago.

@driftwood I didn't do ANY test and knew it was better lol I gave FM up months ago. for lack of a better word it's "Played out"

Anyways if you like the look of a setting stay with it. You cant please everybody - HVS (human visual system) is different from person to person). I can only go on what measures better in the Lab.

That's it, I'm giving up and dusting off my HVX200! I can't take it anymore!! Too many choices!!!!!!!!

@WhiteRabbit My methodology was to find a that had a wide dynamic range and then to cycle through the apertures. The tests above are all with the exact same picture profile (I didn't change anything, and then I double checked when Moon came out looking higher-contrast) and all shot wide open with my Nikkor 28-50mm f/3.5. Nothing was changed. I am just as surprised as you are, but also excited to see a setting that seems to minimize banding a bit.

Based on what I am seeing Moon has some built-in contrast and is not as flat as the others I tested. Other members are saying that it is a good setting for grading and my test seems to go against that, but I haven't tried grading any footage yet so it's hard to say for sure.

@WhiteRabbit I know what you mean from @QuickHitRecord 's test, and I don't know why it's like that but my experience is the opposite with Moon. That video I posted a few pages back of my girlfriend running around is getting me PMs on Vimeo of people asking about 'increased Dynamic Range' and stuff like that which is of course unlikely, but still. The file that comes off the camera really quite 'flat', I would say, though a pleasing flat, not one that is ugly without a grade. Not sure why the discrepancy, and I haven't used moon a lot in low light, but I would call it the opposite of baked in.

@driftwood, excited and standing by to test Moon trial 5.

@GravitateMediaGroup, no, I am stuck in a client project, shot on F3, 5D, Go-Pro and another camera (name forgotten), talk about different footage look to match.

@driftwood, if I read your comment above correctly, I did not mean to offend. The question for me remains, was there any exposure adjustment between the 3 patches applied above, it may vary the result. That is a complicated shot, high DR between black and white, and gradient/banding issues with the light source off the wall. Intravens image, after colourist makes his/her choices, may result in same image as Moon, so like I said, it appears to be a great patch to shoot and bascially just edit, if the WB is correct. Again, I may have it all wrong. Nick, you rock, man!

@QuickHitRecord , if all shots were with the lens wide open, then perhaps with Moon you need to little more 'open', to match the 100% peak of the other patches? Perhaps this is the contrast difference?

@driftwood, when I finish this project, I am going to have to play catch up with these new patches. My question remains, been asking it a lot, however it seems to get passed over as these threads are full of so much footage and evolution of the patches. I am looking for a sharper type of patch for my old lenses which are, perhaps, on the softer side. Does AN C7 Nebula '444 Sharp2' actually sharpens the image or is that a matrix internal thing? Does Moon cater for the legacy softies? Thanks again, you're effort and contribution is appreciated.

@QuickHitRecord, perhaps stop down, use the GH2 light Meter Mode to measure the centre point, from memory, that is the square with point in the middle. Perhaps if that is pointed at light on the wall and you lock down the tripod and not move anything between patch changes, you may perhaps match the GH2 exposure bars to match each patch. If the patches vary, you can adjust aperture to up/down you control point on the horizontal exposore bar +/- 0. Ideal is highlight near/below 100% on zebra, if light source can provide that. Also, better to have declicked aperture control, for fine adjustment. My method my be incorrect, however, there the difference between your Intravenus and Moon frames, and it begs the question as to why? gtg, thanks, and have a good one.
