Would you explain why you can’t use the Canon lens?

yes it is. but it is a massive pain. the pic quality on 5d is better than gh1 for sure

Philip -

With all the headaches with lack of manual controls and codecs…in your opinion, do you feel the end result is worth the trouble? I’ve enjoyed your footage with the GH1 however there is something about the 5dmk2 footage that’s just special.

Hey Philip which EOS to F mount adapter did you go for? There seem to be a ton on ebay but I’m not sure who to trust.

Beautiful, excellent. Is there a very precise color grading job in this or mk2 is just a wowowow camera ?

hey philip, really nice work.
Did you also use MPEG streamclip for rendering the final web-videos? Would you reveal your settings for the small and the middle version?

Thanks!
