  • @magnus387 All three of those shots are excellent... I'm also finding Sedna AQ1 jaw-dropping quality. The detail is real fine. I shot some shit the other night testing on my back deck at ISO1250 that looked damn clean for 1250. The noise is finer.

  • Thank you rajamalik, for your view on this Orion, and newer option's. I'm finding that with Orion v4b, I'm getting what I want out of my image, shooting 1080, 24p, 24H, 160 asa, 1/50 shutter, Vibrant -2-2-2 0, everything seem's to look fantastic, perfect for what I need to shoot on my next short! I don't need to worry about low light levels, as the time frame I'm shooting is all daylight ( some car interior's) so the newer patches seem to be set up to favour low light level's, and shooting higher ISO's. I'm seeing such detail in my shadow's with v4b, as well as super resolution, and color ( magic hour sunset shot's are blowing me away) that I thought I was only going to get with a $10,000.00 + camera? The highlight handling look's good as well. I'm new to this DSLR medium, coming from the larger broacast camera's Panasonic HDX900, HPX2700, HPX3700, and Sony F900's. I would love to jump into a Sony F3, or Canon C300, but what I seem to be getting with my GH2, and these hack's is better than I imagined. I did spend a lot on my glass (Zeiss ZF's)and those with the solid Voightlander adapter are working well. The v4b, is just so noise free and clean at 160 ASA, I just don't know if it's going to get better than it already is.

    Thank you Vitaliy and Driftwood. (Panasonic as well)

  • Any improvements for the 2x anamorphic world?? with the new menu of Canis Majoris or Sidna??... that will be nice to know ! thanx

  • @berrygood. If I did not know any better, I would have thought that you are passionately describing your girlfriend. Anyways. Orion V4B along with Sedna A Q20 are my two favorite settings for 24p. The beauty of this whole experience is that there are variety of settings that give you multiple options to choose what works best for you. Looks like you have found yours at least for the time being. Stick with your guts. That's what I would do.

  • Just reviewed the footage from today's shoot with Sedna AQ1 C and a Rokinon 58mm f/1.4 (sunset, twilight and night). Just loving how the ISO 1250 (approached from above) footage turned out.

  • I'm also a huge Sedna fan, it consumes a lot SD Card memory really fast but everything I shoot looks so amazing, just natural light I don't even delete any footage anymore, I'm shooting in Japan right now and winter/spring daylight is really weird, even at magic hour which is very short here, but Sedna makes it look more than good...Driftwood you are the man!!!

  • @berrygood @thepalalias @driftwood @Vitality the Sedna AAQ1 "the predecessor Killer"

  • Some Sedna A Q20 still grabs...

  • @ignatius , Great Sky, Great skin tone.

  • Little music video, Sedna AQ1 - very detalized, great! Thank you, Driftwood. :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=6gA8u2E321Y

  • @rajamalik not to you personally but to ALL, some few unfortunate person like me live in the internet prehistory and do not have a very fast connection (I have only when it´s good 700 Kbt/s). So if you post a video 11 minutes long or so, I not even try to look at it, because I have to wait mi half day. In the other hand could be that much person are interested to all the 11 minutes. :-)

  • @AlexManta Where about are you in Japan?

  • @Kihlian ITS PERSONAL INTEREST TO SEE HOW SEDNA LOOKS. I DIDN'T SHOOT ANYTHING SO INTERESTING ITS ALL ABOUT THE LOOK. TRY WATCHING IT IN 480P ;)

  • Well, someone had to ask about it....

    What will the Ptool be for the coming settings? Since you have done so much work on them so far, would it be necessary to stick with 3.64d?

  • @rajamalik Good advice, I forgot I can change the resolution, don´t now why, I do it many times on youtube. Thanks.

  • @rajamalik Nice shots nice movie...but you should maybe get a tripod..

  • @mee I'm in Nagoya are you in Japan too?

  • @Driftwood, stop releasing so many amazing patches, look at what you're doing to me!

  • @L1N3ARX And now with Ptool 3.65 other hours of sweaty emotion will follow ;-)

  • @AlexManta i have tripod and other accessories but this was just a regular walk in the beach and had a shoot with my father,..

  • @AlexManta Yes, but I am in Tokyo. If you were a little closer we could combine our GH2's and make something great like this
