  • personal-view.com legend Igor Drozdovsky interviews Mark Baber from Panasonic UK at the Photokina pre-opening. Some information was unavailable at the time of filming this.

  • 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.

  • Another video from the Personal VIew Photokina team.

    Igor Drozdovsky interviews Andrew from SLR magic about wide and anamorphic lenses.

    Enjoy:

  • @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.

  • @AKED It was very difficult trying to film and listen/ask questions in a crowded arena. This was a total surprise interview and am just grateful he could spare us some minutes. He must have been tired out because everyone has been trying to see him!

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

  • I happened to bump into Mr Michiharu Uematsu (Special Adviser, Imaging Business Group ) whilst on the Panasonic stand. He was rather rushed off his feet and very busy but he gave me a few minutes of his time. Being unprepared I didn't have questions either so I decided upon a friendly chat and to let him talk.

    Its a good start to relations for p-v and we hope to have a one-on-one chat when he's next in Bracknell, UK headquarters for Panasonic, very soon.

  • +1 @ mrbill

    another question is if the new 4k Photo Mode actually allows 4:3 Video Shooting (which would be great for 2x Anamorphic shooters)

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

  • @Umii I'll try to find Matt today and I'll ask. Cheers, Igor

  • 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 :)

  • Another strange thing
