Everything I shot on my camera in this video was done at 4K 60FPS. The wireless broadcast of it that went to the CP5 was in 1080P. So yes, you can shoot in 4K60 on your phone will observing it in 1080P.

Thanks for watching!

That's awesome! It's good to see companies making affordable options.

That's a cool trick. I need to try it.

I totally agree! The pancake is a great option for travel, especially when paired with a small camera body.

Thanks for watching!

We really are spoiled with value lenses right now. The Viltrox Air series, while not as robust in build quality is really good with optical quality. Great to have options.

Yes. It's such a great deal. I need to have them send me one to review.

The image quality on it is decent. Not amazing. But it's good enough to where if you don't pixel peep you'll be happy. About what I'd expect from a $100 lens. On par with the price.

It was only glitchy on one of my two cameras. On my XH2, it was no worse than most lenses I own. On my XT20, it was glitchy only those handful of times that it froze.

Stella Pro Reflex S. They went out of business in the last few months, so Ebay is your best bet.

@ interesting at 14:40 looked like a flash

@@RyoBLN it is a flash. The Stella Pro unit was a hybrid light and it has a flash function.

I've shot and edited files on the Z6 and Z8. Both are fine cameras. Neither are able to pull detail out of shadows like my GFX can. I can't comment on the Z9 because I've never used it outside of at a trade show. When you shot real world jobs on a GFX100, what did you conclude when you put those files side by side with your Nikons? I'd love to hear about your experiences on the GFX100.

Great point

Yeah, I'm with you. My favorite lenses were expensive, but worth every penny. But man, their sports lenses sure are a lot. Might have to adapt an old EF variant on there.

Yeah. I did mention cocking the shutter but I probably could have gone into more detail on why. Good point.

Thanks for the compliments! For the graffiti shots I used Eterna Bleach Bypass as my base. But then, because the. model specifically wanted the Jack Bridgland look I used a couple of his photos in my color matching module in Capture One. I pasted what the program matched as a layer then blended the two together and adjusted my colors in post according to taste. I always shoot in RAW for flexibility. I don't think I mention it in the video but Canon is also my main system and Fuji is my secondary system as well. Maybe a 1a. and a 1b. situation. And yes, no third party support for Canon full frame lenses sucks. Getting good results for $189 is pretty amazing. X-S20 is a fine camera.

Really? Sorry to hear that. Mine is still working.

Definitely.

​@@KevinDealasking coming from the eF 16-35 f4 does it pay off to switch?

@@moritzschneider2735 Depends on what you're buying it for. For fast-moving lateral video, it's ok. For landscape photography, it's a gem.

Three years later. Still going strong. Never repaired it.

Correct. Which means that if you're buying a lens that is 2.8, it's going to look more shallow on MF than FF or APS-C. So if you want isolation, one of the benefits of MF is a more shallow depth of field.

@KevinDeal I see, my question was more to highlight that there is no shortage of lenses with much shallower DOF on FF and even aps-c for the same AOV.

@ correct. But if you made a 1.4 lens on a MF it would be enormous, so thankfully you don't have to make them that bright to get the same depth of field. The advantage I was referring to is that you can get a good subject isolation without having to have a crazy large lens because its more shallow.

@KevinDeal the GF45 doesn't have an f1.4 equivalent DOF through?

​@@DanielKennedyaeos No. That lens doesn't. But the 2.8 on it looks more shallow than 2.8 on a FF or APS-C. That's what I'm talking about when I'm talking about advantages. When all things are equal, MF is more shallow. There are also 1.4 options for FF and APS-C. Both statements are true. I think you might be reading too much into what I'm saying. I'm just saying, when all things are equal, medium format has a more shallow look.

I agree. Especially with the newer phones being made of metal and being able to shoot in LOG. The smartphone is the perfect behind the scenes camera these days.

Did you recently get the mic? I know when I first got mine, I didn't realize there was plastic put over the charging contacts from the factory. Once my battery drained it wouldn't turn on or even charge. I investigated it further and realized that I needed to remove that covering. After that, it was smooth sailing. Hope that helps.

You're right. The digital crop is fun.

The video light for my studio shots where I talk to the camera is a Godox UL60. The video light I used to take shots of Gabby in the studio (the black and white shots) is a GVM SD300B. Thanks for watching!

Hasselblad has the details on their own website. if you have a few minutes. They weren't using the standard version of the camera. Or standard film stocks. www.hasselblad.com/about/history/hasselblad-in-space/

@@KevinDeal Yes thanks I have seen all of that - but focus and framing and metering at waist level on an atmospheric void and you lhe fall off between 'Buzz' and the fore and background - it is exceptionally well put together for an amateur'

You can shoot as fast as you want. There's no synch like there is on digital cameras. The flash is firing about 10X faster than the fastest speed on the RB. So one less thing to worry about.

I don't see why you should have to re-align it. I hope they fix that in the future.

I've had the same problem with the Haoge hood, but I did some research and these lens hoods need a 49mm black rubber o-ring (some hoods come with them), it just sits on the thread between the hood and the filter adapter and it aligns it perfect for me.

@@andyle4330 do you happen to have a link to the O ring?

The 110 is my favorite portrait lens for GFX. The videos were also released two years apart.

@ love all your content great channel. i moved to Gfx because of your recommendation.

@ Congrats on the move. My GFX still shoots my best work!

Thanks. The green and blue boxes mainly resided on her head at f/4 from about 15ft back. The focus was perfectly fine.

On a 1.5 crop it's 27mm and on a 1.6 crop it's 28.8. And manufacturers approximate specs. Some lenses say they're 18mm, but if you measure them, they are 17 or 19. If you want to be precise, the results actually vary from lens model to lens model. I can take two lenses that say they have a maximum aperture of 2.8 at the same focal length, yet when I toss them in my RAW editor, at the same settings, one is darker than the other. Why? Because companies approximate specs.

Zhiyun makes some excellent gimbals. If you're going with a really light set up, Hohem has this really cool gimbal called the MT2 that follows hand gestures to start tracking, recording and re-composing. Might be worth a look as well. I don't shoot on Sony, so you may want to check compatibility when it comes to camera control functions via USB-C from the gimbal.

I believe the R10 has a joystick and a dial. So you have more control over the camera. That's the biggest difference. I think it might also have slightly better video resolution, but with a big crop.

Excellent upgrade!

I agree with you that it's annoying. They need to have a setting for "EXPORT WITH LAST SETTINGS" which automatically checks the box. As far as I know there is not an option for this currently. I am going to be at Imaging USA in Dallas, TX this weekend. Evoto will be there as well. I intend to stop by their booth to personally share your concerns. I'm serious. I will be suggesting it because I think it could speed up my workflow even more.

I just wanted to let you know I sat down with the Evoto software programmers for 30 minutes today at Imaging USA and told them that they need to implement a "Export With Last Settings" feature. I also addressed a few other things I would like them to improve. They all sat there vigorously scribbling in their notebooks while I gave suggestions. They asked me several questions and listened to my answers and frankly, I was taken aback by how cool it was. It sounds like they are genuinely listening to the feedback we give them.

@@KevinDeal That is very good to hear. Had I anticipated this type of reaction, I might have noted the few other issues that caused a niggle for me with regard to the workflow. I must say, I find very little fault with the software's ability to produce great results.

@@wilbignal some other notes I gave them from my own request list. -Dust Removal for film photographers -Better control over brush size adjustment -Better stability support when using both a tablet mouse together -The ability to use Evoto as a plugin within Photoshop -The ability to fine tune the sliders for more precise control -Better stability with masks showing up between brush and erase tool

Yes, a medium format sensor collects more light than a full-frame sensor because it is physically larger, meaning it has a greater surface area to capture light; essentially, the larger the sensor, the more light it can gather. So anyway. I just said it again. Also. More light is collected in Russia (largest country in the world) because Russia has more surface area to collect light than the Vatican (smallest country in the world). Simple math.

@@KevinDeal why don't light meters have an adjustment for sensor size then? I'll tell you why, because exposure is per unit area. It's silly. stop doubling down on this ridiculous point. And no! Russia doesn't have more light than the Vatican or Germany or the USA :)) lmao

@@KevinDeal why doesn't a light meter have an adjustment for sensor size then? I'll tell you why, because exposure is the amount of light per unit area falling on the sensor. That's why you don't need a faster lens the smaller the country is lmao.

If you want to go on believing that medium format sensors don't capture more light per photosite then I'm not going to try and stop you. But by all means, keep leaving comments, tickling the algorithm and having You Tube push my videos to more people.

@@KevinDeal sorry to have embarrassed you. would of loved an answer to my question instead of .. whatever that was. now we are at does the medium format sensor have bigger photosite .. clearly you don't know what a photosite is. well the 50mpx version has bigger photosites than the 100mpx version, so does a 12mpx camera compared to a 60mpx camera on the same format, does the 12mpx camera gather more light? of course not! it's stupid. it's not a belief it's a FACT! Do a video on it! get educated and stop bullshiting people and getting offended when you are wrong! i was just in San Marino, people there had the same amount of light as the people in Rimini Italy, didn't matter that Italy is bigger. wtf is this bullshit unreal.

I believe that is correct. I don't have a 6X8 back to test.

Thanks for stopping by

I like that list!

I made a large print that I shot with a 2017 Fuji X-T20 and the kit lens and all people say when they see the print is "wow. This is beautiful." With the newer sensors and newer lenses, I think you'll be just fine.

Great question about the resolution. Fuji cameras for years were in that 20-24MP range. They designed lenses around that. However, now that they have 40MP cameras, resolution is an issue. Here's a link to the lenses that will resolve the best on the XH2. And yes, they will be suitable for large prints. This link is from 2022, so if a lens is newer than 2022, it's likely on this list as well, because Fuji is now designing their newer lenses to resolve on their higher MP cameras. www.fujirumors.com/list-of-fujinon-xf-lenses-that-get-maximum-benefit-from-fujifilm-x-h2-and-x-t5-with-40-megapixel-resolution/

@@KevinDeal Thank you sir! That is most helpful indeed!I look forward to testing both the XF 16-80 f/4 and the XF 30 f/2.8 Macro with the X-H2!

I don't shoot on the XH2S, so I can't comment on it. I shoot on the XH2. The latest software update on it seems to be working alright.

I agree

I could have done a better job of explaining. When you attach the adapter to the lens, it overrides the lens' aperture ring. So even if you set it at 2.8 or f32 on the lens, it won't matter. The variable ring on the adapter variably controls how open or closed it is. There is no feedback to know exactly which aperture you are at, so it's a bit of a crapshoot.

Yes. It's very light!
