Leeming LUT One Panasonic HLG to Rec.709 v801 Beta Test
Here's a quick beta test of Paul Leeming's latest version of his LUT to convert HLG to rec.709. When released, users will notice that in-camera saturation must be reduced to -5, and ETTR is highly recommended, otherwise clips will appear too dark on the timeline. Both color accuracy and dynamic range appear to have significantly... Continue Reading →

Veydra Mini Prime 25mm T2.2
After testing the excellent Veydra Mini Primes 85mm T2.2 and 50mm T2.2, the 25mm T2.2 is rather disappointing. It just might be that I got a bad copy, but the lens is quite soft wide open. Camera: Lumix GH5Lens: Veydra Mini Prime 25mm T2.2Settings: HLG, ISO 400, ALL-Intra, 400Mbps, T2.2

Does the BMD Pocket 4K Render the GH5 Obsolete?
https://youtu.be/pmHnTfyl-c0 There's a lot of understandable excitement online surrounding the announcement of Blackmagic's successor to the five year-old Pocket Cinema Camera. In their enthusiasm, many are still repeating the same tired BS that Panasonic's GH cameras produce garbage, plastic looking footage, and that this marks the beginning of the end of the GH5 and GH5s....

Has Panasonic Killed Off Cinema Lenses?
https://youtu.be/8y-_5VxlehM The primary reason for using cinema lenses is for pulling focus. Focus pulls have become a hallmark of the cinematic look. However, cinema lenses can run anywhere from around $1,000 to over $30,000 apiece. And that doesn’t include extra expenditures like rails, matte box, follow focus, a heavy duty tripod, an external monitor, batteries, cables and more. Not... Continue Reading →
Get Consistently Good Exposures with HLG
I still see filmmakers struggling with exposure shooting HLG with their GH5. In order to get consistent results, be sure to set your zebras at 90% - this should help avoid clipping of the red channel. Next, using a white balance card like the X-Rite ColorChecker, reduce exposure just until the zebras disappear. You should... Continue Reading →
Underrated? The Sigma 60mm f/2.8 DN for Micro 4/3
I've begun a new project - a mini-documentary - and couldn't make up my mind which lens to use for the interview portion: so I took along the Sigma 30mm f/1.4,the Sigma 60mm f/2.8 and the Olympus 75mm f/1.8. The Olympus 75mm f/1.8 has been my go-to lens for portraiture, but I didn't necessarily need... Continue Reading →
