Shafiur: “I thought you might be interested to know that in a recent sensitive project in northern Kenya for a Danish media organisation, I, as the photojournalist and documentary maker, was instructed to bring only “tourist type and small” cameras. This was arising out of concerns of being stopped at the airport and because the pastoralist peoples we were going to be speaking to were not comfortable with cameras at all. And so, believe it or not, my main stills camera was the Sony RX100 iv. The 40 page report has just come out slating the development project’s legality and impact on the local people. I thought your readers might want to see a few photos taken with this amazing pocket camera. http://srdocs.net/portfolio/lake-turkana-wind-power“

Flo: “Godox released their Sony version of the V860 I saw on your blog.
Actually I have been shooting with the version I since a while now and wrote up a little summary of my experience.

No in depth-review with technical stuff – just feedback on the flash/brand during real-life situation on the job. The brand was at least in my network completely unheard off and most people don’t trust it. If the V860II is as good as the 860c, Sony shooters shouldn’t hesitate!“

Jonathan: “Sony was kind enough to lend me their new 85mm f/1.4 GM lens, which I compared to the Zeiss Batis 85mm f/1.8 that I already own. Both are outstanding, but the Sony just took it to another level. So now I’m switching (an expensive proposition, but worth it). Please check out the pictures.

Programmer Hrvoje created the A6300 primers to enhance the video performance (Download: omeneo.com/primers/). He sent me that message:
I’ve done a much more deeper analysis to see how to further reduce banding and now with this camera a new approach has been implemented with very good results. S-Log3 was found too problematic even with new approach due to very compressed DR within 8 bits, so S-Log2 was chosen as a better option. Primers package now comes for S-Log2 gamma and modified Cine4 gamma. Detailed tests were done to find the optimal base for the best effect of Primers and suggested camera setup is on the Primers page.
S-Log2 now has significantly reduced banding and modded Cine4 has no problems with banding. S-Log2 will give about a stop or so more DR in case you need it, such as bright windows shot from interior but Cine4 modified with Primers should work very well in exteriors. Prores is preferred for recording but Primers also work with XAVC-S as well.
For the Primers to properly improve the color response, A6300 should be setup exactly as suggested on the Primers web page. Two picture profiles, one for Cine4 gamma, other for S-log2. It takes 30 seconds to do it and off you go and add Primers later to do their thing.
