@DeShonDixon I like the effect in the first part of the video,yea there is a big quality drop between the two performances..so what settings did you use for your shots?

Here's a grab out of the camera with nothing done using Boom on my PSA. Meant to use CM Night but we forgot to switch the cameras over from the day stuff we shot with Boom. Think it turned out pretty well with the lighting. Shot at 640 ISO with a Rokinon 85mm at f2.8. I love all these damn Rokinon/Samyang Primes. I shot my day stuff with the 14mm Cine and 24mm Cine. I'll post some grabs from that too. All on Boom.

Hi! Is it possible: ReAQuainted_AQ3 (Nick Driftwood) + GH3onaGH2 matrix Test?

Posted this question on the beginners hack thread, but thought I'd ask here quickly- better to use a non-intra patch for spanning at 24H, or an intra patch at 24L? Reason I ask is that I really like the rendering of AN BOOM!, but of course can't span at 24H since I haven't invested 250.00 in two 95gb/s cards.

This is another one i filmed in the club. i use cluster 6 drew because driftwood said cluster 7 is just experimental. lens: magic slr 12mm f1.6 @ max 1250 iso. profile smooth all -2

GH2= Lumix 14mmm AN v6Nebula, HBR 30p 40Mbs- extreme low light

I'm quite confused here, I could be wrong but how was it possible to know of the GH3 Matrix during October when the camera wasnt even released yet???

Also either way, how does GH3onaGH2 compare to previous patches like 444Sharp etc.?

@jebsly: is your GH3 matrix video straight from the camera, i.e. not post edited or graded?

Christmas season question 1 :what setting is gonna get released for gh2 in christmas???

@vicharris I'd try shooting some stills as well with the exact same focus and aperture, so you can compare to your footage. I would say f/8-f/11 would be an ideal range (that's quite often a sweet spot in terms of sharpness for many lenses, but it can differ). By comparing a still to a frame of footage, you'll get an idea if the patch is influencing image quality. Just a thought.

I wouldn't stop all the way down- there is a point of diminishing returns with lenses, esp. long lenses when stopped down too much. I did a quick look-up of specs on that lens: f/16 and greater and diffraction starts to inhibit lens performance.

@vicharris Well seems like you were in a fairly controlled situation to me in terms of your setup- just wondering, though- you said you used a fader ND, wondering if that had anything to do with the problem? I'd try a few test stills in similar lighting/focal distance conditions w/o a fader, stopping down the lens to proper exposure or near and see what you get?

I do know that 105mm-f/5.6 would make critical focus VERY touchy- I have a great tamron adaptall 90mm sp2 that is very sensitive at mid-long distant shots in terms of focus, esp. when it's not stopped down much. A millimeter of focus throw and you've gone from sharp to crap.
