Really good insights Chris, thank you for sharing. When I was shooting weddings I used GH5 and 2 X GH4s and did everything manually, very rarely did I miss focus. I didn't even shoot VLog I just set in a picture profile that I thought suited the location so practically no colour grading. The clients always were amazed with 4K footage and didn't think anything about the small set up. The other thing m43 allows you is small footprint for your total package: I took a Temba Cineluxe 21 bag with me (43 cm long, 25 cm high) which housed 3 bodies, 2 X 40-150 Olympus f2.8 lenses, a Voigtlander 17.5mm, a Panasonic 12mm f1.4, an Olympus 12-40 f2.8 (workhorse) lens and even had space for the Olympus 7-14mm f2.8. I had everything covered in a small bag and had no fear I could not get the shot on the day. It just allows you peace of mind with everything you might need jammed in a bag ready to go.

@@eyeballbilly that’s awesome and thank you for your insights as well! I filmed my last wedding in October of 2023. I shot 60+ weddings using an s1h/s1 setup when I got the gh6 I used it with a sigma 24-105. Looking back, I could have gotten everything with mft and the images would have been beautiful also. You live and you learn lol

I too like MFT but mainly for the Speedbooster and I can use my EF Glass. I have main streamed my EF glass across my cameras. That Metabones .64X gives me 1.35 Crop Factor instead of 2.121. I also get 1 1/3 stop more light. I have updated the firmware on the Metabones and now on my Micro Studio 4K G2 I now have push to autofocus. For your background noise use a smaller light to add some luminance to the plant. Just a little bit of light will make a difference. Great vid bro this will definitely help someone else you has questions in this area.

[@ChrisFlores22]

@@VidHeadz I heard of a rumor that metabones is going to bring a firmware update that will allow for continuous autofocus using ef glass on the g9ii & gh7. Should be cool to check out if it does come but I’m super happy with these Olympus pro lenses.

[@VidHeadz]

@@ChrisFlores22 yeah I had the JVC GYLS back years ago when I first started KZbin and I was using the Olympus M.Zuiko Lenses. I really liked those. I have developed into a bit of a aperture snob and trying to get out of that. I like the EF glass because it has so many options and again it is so limited at the same time. It is limited because the new glass that is coming out is not acknowledging the EF mount. Only Blackmagic is utilizing the EF currently.

[@Wildridefilms]

@@ChrisFlores22 they already did and it works exceptionally well with the legendary Sigma 18-35 kzbin.info/www/bejne/d6G0p5V4rNioj68

[@ChrisFlores22]

@@Wildridefilms just updated my speedboosters and I’m impressed! Only tested my 24-35 with XL & 18-35 with ultra. I’ve got a whole lens kit to test out! 14-24 2.8, 50 1.4, 85 1.4, 24-105 f4. I’ll also compare it to my full Olympus pro primes and zooms.

Great information. Recently I needed a second camera for a project I was doing, and my main camera is an S5, the original, and so I found a gh5 on ebay for $475 and I grabbed it, and I am astounded at how good the footage looks coming out of that camera. I even bought two cheap micro 4/3 native lenses, a TTartisans 17mm f/1.4 and a Meike 35mm f/1.4 and they both look incredible. Cheap as hell, too. Kind of freaks me out a little bit that the quality is so good. :-) But anyway, the gh5 is an incredibly powerful tool, and so I'm sure the gh7 is all of it too, but like you, I never use autofocus so for me the S5 is an incredible camera and yes, micro 4/3 is alive and well and matches the footage in my s5 just fine when shooting log in both. I also shoot 99% of the time with vintage glass, and I have been able to adapt all of those full frame lenses to the gh5 now as well. Which is pretty cool. I have anamorphic lenses for my s5, but they're L mount so I can't adapt them, but if I'm shooting anamorphic, I just use my S5. Thanks for sharing.

@@RockWILK dude thanks watching! I watch your videos and follow your work man!! You know what you’re doing and these days that’s what is missing on KZbin. We got too many folks filming themselves and judging cameras based on “good for KZbin” or vlogging lol

[@RockWILK]

@@ChrisFlores22 ah, thank you I appreciate that. Like they say, the best tool for the job. Whatever allows you to be creative, that's the camera to use.. I watch your videos as well, really enjoy your channel.

[@ChrisFlores22]

@@RockWILK exactly dude, the right tool for the job! Keep crushing it man!

[@RockWILK]

@@ChrisFlores22 you as well!

[@A1Bokeh]

bro i miss my m43 cams sometimes my g9 and gx85.. i may have to get a gx for an everyday cary cam

[@ChrisFlores22]

@@A1Bokeh dude yeah! If Panasonic had a mft version of the s9 I think I’d go for it. I just don’t want to get l mount lenses since I’m happy with my ef lenses. When I do need autofocus I pull out the g9ii and I’m good. I actually just ordered something different from Panasonic so I’ll be reviewing that soon!
