Replacing the GH2 EVF housing
@goanna I'm really only trying to put on a new eye cup... so removing the LVF wouldn't really be ideal : ) @AKED cool, I think I might go with these... they do look awfully similar to the ones I have though. Could you maybe tell me by loo…

Replacing the GH2 EVF housing
Interesting, I tried to do the same thing not too long ago. Both precision sets I have aren't small enough for that screw... it's quite small. @blackroom could you link to a set that would be usable for this? All the precision sets that …

Landscape shots w/ FilmConvert
Here's another quick vid just demonstrating a very subtle before and after with filmconvert. A lot of people still get the impression that it's just this thick overpowering overlay like a preset from magic bullet looks etc. This is a plug…

Landscape shots w/ FilmConvert
Yeah, I just used the SRGB setting, seems to work just fine. If they can adapt the conversion to specifically the GH2 Sensor's output, then I think it would be a minor difference overall. It works fantastic as is.

Official Panasonic GH3 topic, series 2
Not really enjoying the moire or the 24p motion. As features go, this thing is looking amazing with wifi and all. In terms of straight up IQ, I think the stock GH2 eats this thing alive in all honesty. Until I see a real DR comparison, I've not…

Sony NEX-6 topic
Interesting. Would be cool if the nex hack is applied to this one. After watching the sample videos, it's kind of surprising how similar the NEX and GH3 are now. The colors and everything just have a really similar feel. I'll probably hang…

By now, I've seen some pretty decent GH3 footage. I think the camera and the features it offers, especially the wifi, is great and makes for a very worthy upgrade. Secretly, deep down... I'm still far more in love with the GH2's image…

30mm and 35mm lenses choosing, Sigma, Samyang, others
@Ralph_B Yeah, I brought my Sigma 30mm along when I went to test the Samyang. I shot a couple indoor tests and outdoor, skin tones and wide open. The samyang is a great lens, but the choice between the 2 was pretty easy... at least for me.

SANITY 4 and 5.1
Shot a few Sanity V5 clips and applied Filmconvert. Loving the patch so far, the noise is perfect. No banding or strange noise patterns in low light. https://vimeo.com/51192458

Hmm, for just a basic sample shot, it's okay. Nothing convincing me the GH2 couldn't do as good or better here. But like everyone is saying, let's wait until some of the more creative among us do something in a film / narrative settin…

30mm and 35mm lenses choosing, Sigma, Samyang, others
Many people seem to favor the Samyang... but I think the Sigma outright dominates it. That is the one Sigma lens that continues to blow me away. I don't know what it is... but no matter what lens I try, I always come back to it. Never seen a fo…

Lucrative jobs in video abound...
This is great actually, because the only people that will apply will be high school kids with criminal records or other prohibitive aspects to their resume exempting them from taking other jobs. I'd love to see who they end up with... Anyone …

"Cinematic" - what does it mean ?
When does a grain of sand become a mound? A pile? A mountain? How many grains exactly...? No one knows. "Cinematic" or "filmic" is nothing more than a classification of various elements into what is familiar. In this case, an a…

md or fd lenses for gh2
After using both, the MD was the clear winner on the GH2. It's still my favorite 28mm vintage lens after having used the FD and a host of others from Takumars to Nikkors and a bunch of other off-brands. The MD stands out as providing the best &…

FilmConvert software
Yes, just discovered this last night. I installed the trial plugin for premiere and graded some old footage. Loving the look; it grades it almost perfectly and the grain is amazing. Shame it costs $250! https://vimeo.com/50419131

@Ralph_B It's just the sigma 30mm 1.4, manual focus. I tried the lumix 20mm AF once... never again.

@Ralph_B ... oh shit... lol, I feel like a dumbass now haha. I'd like to say that it's cause I'm drunk or tired, but I'm neither... ugh so sad. Ah, just realized I only made the mistake on the image I wanted to use for the thum…

SANITY 4 and 5.1
Yeah, I'll probably start reading about the patch soon enough. I do like the approach of a patch made for absolute dependability, but not necessarily compromised in quality. Here was the first thing I shot; kind of lame, but didn't have …

SANITY 4 and 5.1
Well I gotta say, after starting out with Driftwood patches, and getting hooked on super high bit rates, my journey has led me to discover other patches which provide smooth motion but consistent shadow detail. Until now, I've been using the Fl…

@Atro I think you're dead on. The practical shooters here are scratching their heads thinking... eh! What gives, look at all these improvements, how can you be complaining!? Then there's slightly impractical people like us, that thrive of…

I think voicing valid concerns is what makes a conversation worth having. I haven't seen a single post out right bashing the gh3 or inciting negativity without reason. In fact most all of the concerns have been quite interesting and very much w…

@AKED Looks like a fair bit of aliasing, about what I'd expect from a Sony DSLR... not too bad, but I gotta say not nearly as much as the GH2. Aaarurhgghghg, I'm dying here trying to stay positive about this camera, wish I could use it f…

When Bloom's video was released... I knew it looked a lot like NEX5N footage, and now we're more or less positive that the sensor is by Sony. Well, not a bad thing, but it's interesting to say the least. Hopefully this is not the firs…

@AKED To upload on Vimeo you have to use the simple uploader option once you select the file to upload. The advanced uploader always fails. I had the same problem the whole day Sunday, it was driving me absolutely insane.

Man I hope the few rummors about hdmi out being 4:2:0 aren't true. 4:2:2 would be a major reason for me to get this camera despite my early reservations.

Yeah... not sure about the GH3 anymore. I don't think the highlights are any more protected than with the GH2 based on the cat video. Maybe I'm just seeing things... but I I'm just not sensing the panasonic mojo that I loved in the GH…

GH2 Flow Motion v2 - 100Mbps Fast Action Performance & Reliability for Class 10 SD cards
So recently I've come into a problem with Flow Motion V2.02. I never had this issue before a month ago, but out of nowhere I started to get a very odd diagonal noise pattern which seemingly looks like rain at any iso. This issue is much more …
