28Apr Sigma 30mm f/1.4 EX DC HSM Micro Four Thirds Lens?
As I continue to research micro 4/3 lens options I was surprised to find that the Sigma 30mm f1.4 lens comes in a micro 4/3 mount. The 30mm f1.4 lens was original designed for APS-C size sensors cameras. It’s a great little lens for the price but it is a little soft in the corners and produces […]
26Apr OpenCL vs Cuda Adobe Premiere CC rendering test
As I mentioned earlier this week, I was pretty impressed with the OpenCL Adobe Premiere CC demonstrations I saw at NAB this year. Thanks to some attractive used prices on ebay, I decided to pulled the trigger on a used Sapphire R9 290x GPU. The R9 290 and 290x GPUs have had a drastic drop in […]
26Apr Next Panasonic GH4 lens – Voigtlander Nokton 25mm f0.95
Craigslist came through on a reasonably priced ($560) used Voigtlander Nokton 25mm f0.95 lens. While I ended up getting a pretty good deal on the Voigtlander, i’m shopping without an actual camera body for testing. Thankfully the guy I bought this from brought his GH2 with him. Optics on the Nokton 25mm f0.95 looked pretty nice on […]
25Apr Canon EOS to M4/3 speed booster from Mitakon
I found this one by accident while searching for more Panasonic Gh4 lens options. Apparently Mitakon, the company that makes that mysterious 35mm f0.95 lens I posted this morning also makes a very interesting Canon EOS to M4/3 speed booster style adapter. The focal multiplier for this guy is 0.726x so a Canon 50mm f1.4 would be a […]
25Apr Panasonic 12-35mm f2.8 vs Olympus 12-40mm f2.8 Full test
Before I left for NAB at the beginning of the month I posted this quick flicker test between the Panasonic 12-35mm f2.8 and the Olympus 12-40mm f2.8 lenses. Above is the rest of the tests I ran between the two lenses before I left town. This includes flicker tests that cover more f-stops on each […]
25Apr Mitakon 35mm f0.95 for the Panasonic GH4?
From what I’ve heard, my Panasonic GH4 body will be shipping out sometime next week and I’m still on the hunt for lenses. I’ve been looking into the Voigtlander Nokton 25mm f/0.95 as a good fast manual prime for the GH4 but the new price is a little steep at around $1000. I might still […]
22Apr Radeon R9 290x GPU prices fall, best value card for Adobe CC?
Adobe started officially supporting the Radeon R9 290 series graphics cards in december and the original list prices for these GPU’s looked pretty nice at $399 for the R9 290 and $549 for the R9 290x. In most tests the R9 290 and R9 290x performs with in about 5% of the GTX 780 at $499 and […]
18Apr Varavon Panasonic Gh4 machined Camera cage
Varavon had some very interesting prototypes at their booth this year at NAB. They had one of the sexest looking Panasonic GH3/GH4 cages I came across on the floor. Machined from a single block of aluminum, the reps said this was actually one of the first prototypes from the factory floor. The final version will […]
13Apr Panasonic GH4 4k High ISO testing
Even though the Sony a7s looks to be an amazing camera, I still have my eye on the Panasonic GH4. Having 4k in such a tiny little package at that price point really makes the GH4 attractive for lightweight travel. The only real concern I had was high ISO shooting. If the GH4 can deliver […]
09Apr First look at the Panasonic GH4k – Hands on
Panasonic was kind enough to let us play around with the Panasonic GH4 and film at their booth. Not a whole lot has changed in terms of shape and design with the GH4. The body feels very similar to the GH3 I was playing around with last week. Up close the screen looked pretty nice […]
