Panasonic GH4 meets Fujinon XA55

- I decided to try my Fujinon XA55 Digipower lens with a Panasonic GH4.
It worked surprisingly well.
Everything is shot in UHD, 25p.
All camera settings is set to default. Standard gamma and color settings.
Since I couldn't use ND-filters, I had to use shutter speeds around 1/200 in the sunlight.
The lens is 9,5 - 525 mm f/1:1.7
With the 2X extender it becomes 19 - 1050 mm f/1:3.4
And with the 2,3X "crop" factor of the GH4 in UHD-modus, the AOV is the same as a 44 - 2415mm lens on a FF-camera.
Other equipment used:
Ronford-Baker tripod legs
Miller Skyline 70 Head
Fotodiox B4-MFT adapter
Music: "Far the Days Come" - by "Letter Box"

You can shoot an entire wedding ... From home ... In Australia 😂
Incorrect. For Australian use, the entire system must be upside down. XD
"The main advantage of the MFT system is that the lenses are small, allow me to demonstrate..."
The perfect travel kit. Light-weight and affordable. Well, it's all relative and subjective and...
you can even sleep in it if the hotels are too expensive
imagine how big it would be if it would actually have been designed for m4/3.
Jean Roch But it is small, for a 2,440mm f3.5 lens. The Canon 1200mm is bigger and is only f5.6
@@bosstowndynamics5488 i know thats why i said imagine how big it would be if it would have been designed for m4/3
If that blew you mind, think about this - this is the 55x version. Fuji also makes one with 101x magnification
@All Is One pffftt! Just a quarter million dollars!!! In my dreams. LOL
Now for a little hand held run and gun ;)
Avidcomp I mean... It would probably be the only footage in existence if someone would hand shoot this with maximum focao length! :D
Street photography
Those shots costs as much as a college education.
+Drew Poole Poetry xD
+Drew Poole My favourite was the moon
college education costs zero in developed and civilized countries
Maybe at one point it would've. Not anymore.
@@riskinhos not really
Dear god, the moon shot was incredible.
And imagine if it had been low on the horizon. That close of a moon view with it in the middle of the sky like that? Insanity
I've watched this video 3 times already. FFS TH-cam, just leave me alone, I will not sell my house to buy this. Cut it out with this recommended stuff.
That is one impressive lens! The shot of the moon was the so cool! Thanks for sharing!
I've had the pleasure of shooting with a lens like this. Being able to fill the frame with a person over a quarter mile away is pretty fun. Props on your GH4 mod.
Oh my, that moon shot at the end!
And for only $68,000 you can also add one of these to your GH4 carry bag..
Chris Newman do you recomend this for street photography ?
Gan Eden Media I'd imagine that it's either rental or he has it from work from which he makes the money back. This is far from a hobby lens.
@@RAKITHA9 yes ,if you live rurally and don't want to commute in to town. Just build a tall platform and shoot from home.
I once sold my 35mm lens to rent it.
One on eBay rn for $6k
guy went to the moon and back
The Panasonic GH4 and the Fujinon XA55 lens worked beautifully together, that moon shot was amazing. Nicely done :-)
Some Camera TH-camr: The Sony FE 600mm is the The MOST EXPENSIVE LENS You Will NEVER OWN
Sir Jonny of Cargo: That's cute.
This is great! Loved watching the moon cruse through the frame. Very cool stuff.
The shot of the moon at the end is amazing. Great stuff! Thanks for sharing
Amazing stuff. This is a fantastic lens, very sharp, minimal or non-existant chromatic aberration and generally beautiful images!
I could see this being a very usable and convenient setup.
Indeed, very convenient.
That was amazing. That zoom range is just bonkers.
Wow! The stability on zoom is amazing and the clarity!
thats INCREDIBLE! it seriously looks like was shot on 35mm film and transferred to 1080p digital. unreal ~
The airplane shot blew my mind
This was so awesome. Cool to see the process you went through to modify it.
Excellent Totally Phenomenal Test. The hang glide was mind blowing the lens is like no other I've ever seen. And to top it all off you bang'n out the GH4!!? Shocking this is one of the best lens test on a GH4 ever. Salute.
MeDallion Motion Pictures Oh yeah and Music: "Far the Days Come" - by "Letter Box" is extremely hardcore. Love the vibes bro.
Looking forward to your next skiing POV using this.
great video, amazed how smooth the footage is with such a modest tripod and head. modest as in vs. the $6k+ heads you see these lenses mounted to at sporting events.
Thanks so much for sharing this. Incredible.
Great way to show just how crucial "the glass" is for good image quality.
Amazing footage and well done getting this to work
This was actually pretty fun to watch. Thanks for sharing!
Fantastic. Now I understand why during for instance Roland Garros they can make these gorgeous images thanks to the very long zoom. Just beautiful.
Amazing modifications!
Very cool
I would have never thought someone would put a studio box lens on a GH4 body. You're a mad scientist! And the results speak for themselves. They have several "superzoom" prosumer cameras out, but you achieved that kind of range with actual high quality glass. Kick ass!
You sir are a genius, and a mad man! Spectacular work thank you for sharing.
This is incredible. That shot with the plane!
Quite impressive Image Stabilisation on this lens + sturdy tripod :)
Unbelievable footage! Thanks fo sharing.
The moon scene/zoom is awesome!
Thanks for the test.
Those are some insane shots!
Crazy test. That shot of the moon is insane!
Can't wait to see your shoulder rig for that thing!
Magically insane!! Wonderfully amazing!
Amazing shots
Amazing work you do
Man, this thing should be heaven for mountain landscape pictures
Amazing work and a very good solution for some budget productions. Thanks !
Absolutely going to try this, great for camera stability!
Incredible work
This is one of the greatest vids on TH-cam. $1000000 for u, whoever u are
wicked !
Very good quality, and impressive DIY.
the plane shot as you zoomed out especially with this music reminded me of the movie "oceans 13" lol
Now I sit here lost and amazed thinking about what I've just saw. And that music fit there just right.
Talk about lens porn!! That moon shot was SICK!!
not sick! binocular or mirrror 300-600 on crop in insane cold or clear sunny gives same result without zoom of course!
freckled girl closeup even more sick than moon for real video shooters! we have an instrument like a hammer vs perforator
neverhood p
my mouth was open till the fade out..
Yeah you could see it was fake
Thank you...I'll try increasing the shutter tip and work on my manual focusing 😊
You, sir, are absolutely bonkers! :o) Great video, very interesting.
Wow! Nice work!
Awesome and funny at the same time :) Great video.. I used the Canon Equivalent on a shoot in Miami a few years back Amazing piece of glass.
That is one seriously back-breaking setup! I like the way you can zoom in & out pretty smoothly though. I used a Panasonic G6 paired with a Sigma 150-600mm C lens Nikon fit with a $20 adapter) plus a 2x TC to film Peregrine Falcons from afar. That worked pretty well, giving me the FF equivalent of approx 600mm-2400mm! Of course, it was manual exposure and focus and max aperture was F13 but it gets the job done a lot cheaper.
Nice work!
My question is why do you own a $70,000.00 lens?
Why not???
It was either the lens, or an Arri Alexa. The lens looks like much more fun!
what do you expect from a guy that got sir in his name?
I was just wondering how much it was. This confirms once more (not that it was needed) that broadcast quality lenses are insanely expensive. I work in sound and our tools are far more affordable.
"broadcast quality lenses are insanely expensive" - "our tools are far more affordable"... sir, please leave the internet and go back to mixing with 4ch Mackie boards, good day
Holy shot, that's impressive!
That moon shot is really awesome
About time someone get some good UFO footage! --- thanks for showing how this lens thingamagig works was always curious .....
Amazing lens, seeing how well it zooms first thing I thought of was "why aren't you filming the moon?" then I ran my mouse over the timeline and seen it was coming!
I'm from Broadcast Network Television and can certainly appreciate the test you did adapting a Broadcast lens to the GH4. i must say, very! impressive and no more to say about the GH4's image quality.... Truly Amazing to say the least.
Great Test. Thanx for sharing and showing the industry and the world the possibilities.
do you have any tips on how i can work as a camera operator ?
@@polobubblevest knock on lots of doors. expect to spend 5 to 10 years as a camera assistant...
Think u should try this in extrem urban environement too, like N.Y.
Perspective compression should be huge & so interresting. Remeber "Magnum Force" and its shots from high roofs into a terrass pool : so cool !
that moon pullback shot is incredible! Now do this in 4K!
That's awesome. I've used similar lenses for sports, and wondered what this would look like. GH5 S-Max Zoom II
This is awesome. The zoom is so cool . I have to admit, much better as on my P900 ;)
Excellent video!
the moon footage is incredible great work
Mind Blown!!!!... freaking awesome
Very cool!! thanks for sharing this..
Great video! thanks for the upload!
I think due to the resolution of the camera, reminds me of a Wes Anderson film. Not to mention the movements and zooms. Kinda like The Grand Budapest Hotel
Thanks for sharing this, this just made my day:-)
Nice! That lens is impressively good, even in the corners, particularly with the extender. Sometimes broadcast lenses are very good on m4/3 without the extender, but then the extender lowers the quality so much, especially in the corners where a 2/3" camera wouldn't even see.
great work! Thanks for sharing.
Incredible video!
Love the shot of the girls in the garden!
Love this video, so much fun
Simply awesome!
simply amazing!
On the paraglider shots in full zoom it's fascinating to see how the thick layer of air between lens and objects is causing the blur and distortions in the image 😳
Really great video
Great!. I wanna to buy it!
The zoom range is like nothing I've ever seen. Is it just me, or does this footage have a 70's BBC documentary kind of look? Why is that?
If you're talking about when you see heat waves and such when he's fully zoomed in, that "look" just comes from the perspective that an extremely long focal length gives you. It's not a perspective we're used to seeing in normal life and in video, usually only in nature documentaries where you have to shoot wildlife from these distances. That's part of what I think gives it that "documentary" look.
I think old documentaries, especially from the BBC had a sort of style where zooming was a commonly embraced element of cinematography... It's kind of cheesy now but works in to subtly bring you back to old filming styles. Wes Anderson uses this effect a lot.
when fully zoomed in there is a lot of atmosphere between the lens and the subject. That super telephoto hazy look is very 70's and 80's. These days cameras are more portable and smaller and can be placed anywhere, giving a variety of perspectives rather than just "zooming in" for a closer look.
You have to take into account that this IS a TV broadcast lens, so these are the exact lenses used on a TV show.
I guess its the long zoom. Older documentarys are very often shot with extremely long focal lenghts. Nowadays with small (and comparable cheap) equipment its often possible to be much closer to the action. Also, zooms were a new thing back then and thus the effect was often shown. Today its more about composition with a single focal lenght per shot.
AWESOME! What a Privilege!👍👌👏
Wow, this is very impressive!
Laughably amazing, makes me giggle, positively weird, just great :)
That moon shot is the best one
As a radio tv broadcasting student, This is pretty awesome.
Awesome video bro
Truly badass!
impressive stuff!
Beautiful!
Dude that was so cool
What? No shoulder rig?? Cmon man!! lol Good stuff. And you really have too much time on your hands!! Do you own a truck? How did you get this lens? Love the Tarantino-esque zoom into the girl at the top.
Amazing Combo!
Mind blown 🤯
This is just insane !!!
