Thanks all! In the vid with Matt he mentions that intelligent exposure actually creates multiple iso points that can lead to noise so to avoid it which is what everyone generally agrees with I think. (4:11)

That made me wonder if the curves feature actually works the same way and creates multiple iso points rather than just applying changes to the captured image this could explain why people report different expectancies with noise and curves.

So if you are at 200 iso and set negative what does that do? if you are at iso 800 and set + is that going to push some into iso 1600+ etc.

If we could ask how it works while you are there it would help make more informed descisions perhaps. For example if iso 400 really matches 0 gain as it looks to if you flip between gain and iso in camera perhaps a +2 -2 curve at iso 400 might be a really nice setting. - curves at higher iso may help reduce noise etc.

Or the above could all be nonsense if it really just applies adjustment to the picture after capture from the sensor.

Looking forward to more reports keep up good work :)

If you manage to find him, an update on the GH4 and the atomos shogun would be great

Nick, please make some subtiles.... ;-)

@driftwood I know. It is great that you got the video with him. He is just hard to understand, especially for non native english speakers.

Photokina Model Test:

(Left) - SLR Magic 10mm T2.1 HyperPrime CINE lens vs (Right) Tokina 11mm.

Quick swap of lenses test at same settings. Even though this is a quick test I felt chromatic aberration was more noticeable in the Tokina.

Really liking the look of SLR Magic Cine series. Very good design with extensive research into cinematic lenses by Andrew and his 5 man team.

Thanks @igorek7 that's good information! So I guess still benefit especially for 8bit internal as it will tweak the values on effectively raw data before encoding so better than doing it in post where I can only do it on the 8bit internal but go easy and probably most effective at lower ISO is what I'm thinking as a general rule. Interesting about 4:3 capture that's going to give some nice extra creative options, thanks again!
