I just have a little screen shade/hood for the gh5 if I know it's going to be a sunny day. I might just buy harddrives to store more footage this black friday since I'm happy with my gear too.
@@dominicpclarke that’s actually a great idea, I’m gonna look into a hood myself. And yes to more storage, every once in a while, I go to Glyph’s website and buy myself another SSD because they always have them on sale, and for me those have been the best SSD drives that I’ve used.But amen to being happy with what we have. :-) Thanks for coming through, and taking the time to comment, I really appreciate that. Have a beautiful day.
You won't regret getting a speedbooster (or 2). Pixco are good, I use them for pentax lenses, but you can sometimes have to sand back the mount on the adapter, on a flat surface, by a few microns, or the lens is too tight and gets utterly stuck (you can easily unscrew the speedbooster's glass first before sanding). Zhongyi are also good but more expensive - I have a minolta one. I found my vintage pentax 50mm f1.4 on a 0.72x speedbooster is half a stop faster than a nocticron F1.2 m43 lens ($1000+ lens), its also marginally sharper, much smaller, and takes 49m filters. I do almost all my video shooting on a speedbooster with one vintage lens or another on a gh5. It just feels really good using a speedbooster, the image quality is amazing as it shrinks it down making it sharper, and you still crop off the outer edge of the light circle where the distortion is. Yet, it still feels less clinical than a modern lens.
@@spacelord1913 sounds pretty amazing although I’m certainly not the guy who’s gonna sand down anything on my gear. :-) The way I fix things is to call the super. Lol. I’m pretty useless when it comes to that kind of stuff, but I do look forward to making my GH5 closer to the S5 in terms of quality, and whether that’s a speed booster or just some better micro 4/3 lenses, we’ll see. I’m considering a couple of anamorphics for that camera, but I’m not sure how I wanna do it yet, it depends upon how I want to shoot this next feature that I’m writing a script on right now. thanks so much for all of this, though, I’m gonna research all of it and learn as much as I can. I really appreciate you taking the time to drop this on my channel so I can have more information. Much appreciated.
@@kenstreetcinema check my playlist, you can see it here on TH-cam, I have two feature films there, or if you want to support me, go to Vimeo on demand. Just look at the description of this video and you can see both links. And thanks so much for coming through, I hope you actually do shoot a feature, I’d be really curious what you do. I follow your channel.
@@RockWILK thank you so much! I just watched a few minutes because i’m out at the moment. But I will watch it tonight entirely on big screen! First of all congratulations for your films Rock! And of what I’ve seen I really loved your acting a lot🥹 fantastic!
@@kenstreetcinema thanks so much for that Ken, I really appreciate it. And I hope you love the films! They are actually part of a trilogy that I worked on for 17 years. The center of distance was shot during the pandemic and actually comes before this is the end for me in the trilogy. Just so you know.In any case, enjoy, and thanks again, means a lot to me to have my work received by filmmakers especially. Thank you. Have a great day.

I would recommend the Viltrox dc550 pro if you want an external monitor- it’s super affordable and really good
@@OscarCloud thank you! Much appreciated
Thanks for the video! I want to start doing films and I was wondering if I can watch your film that you've made somewhere for inspiration? cheers
