@shamb I have the same Tiffen filter and I've noticed that it gets a lot softer the more the light hits the lens, and with the aliasing that I've gotten with the GH2 lately, softening is god send oddly enough!

@paulo. Nope, thats the biggest issue with the GH2 IMO - color and contrast is far too 'baked in' out-of-camera

A Tiffen low contrast 3 filter works wonders for AVCHD (and the GH2 in particular): not only does it reduce contrast, it does this by lifting the blacks so you are far less likely to see macro blocking. For the GH2, it can also remove some of the bad effects of over-sharpness and roll-off the highlights (to give you a more analog feel). Have a look at http://howgreenisyourgarden.wordpress.com/2013/12/18/dslr-video-lens-filters-for-video/ Scroll down to the section 'Low Contrast filter' as the first bit talks about variable ND filters, which I assume everyone here knows about :)

The example video is LX7 AVCHD, 28Mbit/s, so the main reason to use a Low contrast filter for that camera is avoiding macro blocking (because of the reduced bandwidth). For the GH2 its more about getting your out-of-camera footage flatter by lifting the blacks, rolling off the highs and reducing the digital sharpness a bit.

I generally shoot DSLR video with both a variable ND and LC3 on the lens.

HTH

@andy68: The newest target: Galaxy Note Patch for GH2, hehe.

Joke or not, the look Galaxy Note gives is much more cinematic and authentic look than GH2 ever. Not because of 4k, of course...

Hi guys any kind or any patch to increase color latitude (or at least decrease contrast) on GH2? Thanks!!!

Here is some MMM on 1080i and some HBR slowed down using Moon T7

@raf702 The 32 GB cards don't span. Pick up the 64 GB Extreme version, and you'll be fine.

@raf702 there's definitely a difference but 24l is still better than most hacks quality wise like sanity etc.i I LOVE moont7 24h when i see footage i shot with sanity compared to moon its RIDICULOUS THE IMPROVEMENT

@tatzu, good, I have the 14mm.

@x_worpig_x Don't mention it :)

@Garner Super informative. Thank you!

@doctor: totally agree.

@driftwood: hope I didn't come off as demanding, I'm just impatient, because your hard work rocks!

"moon T8 needs a few days on HBR. Sorry. So busy still. Hopefully next week I will release."

Thank you for all of your hard work. You have nothing to apologize for. We should be apologizing for being demanding. You have given a lot of time to your work and charged nothing for it.
