Bro whats up i rreally really miss your videos bro i review some of your old videos this days because you were missing in action this days. For real good video bro keep making good content. I went the other day to lax to film after one of your videos but i didnt found the spot of the planes you got. I m here on LA visiting son i figure to give it a try XD peace bro see u when i see you

MAKE. ART. NOW. You got to try the Voigtländer 0.95 series 10.5mm 17.5mm 25mm 42.5mm They even got their own look. And just cost 1k not 16k

Voigtländer Nokturna. I can send you a documentary with them at 0.95

[@limitedhangoutlive]

Did you find you had to denoise a lot in low light with BMPCC 4K? I’m finding that anything that isn’t properly exposed or over exposed at 600 or lower needs NR. 1250 is supposed to be native but even at 1250 over exposed I need to noise reduce always especially due to the shadows. Now the grain is actually nice with the camera. But, if I want silk, it’s unavoidable. Am I doing something wrong?

[@bigstam1234567890]

This lens because of the crop factor on mft is like a 100mm f/1.9 so if you are using a full frame 100mm f/1.8 lens, the depth of field is marginaly the same. Had he used the lens on full frame then we would talk about truly f/0.95 depth of field

This is REALLY helpful!!! I don’t really intend to shoot at f/0.95, but advice on creatively overcoming field of focus issues (in my case because I’m an amateur) is insanely helpful. We got to see and hear the technical advice, while being able to also see the creative output in practice.

[@mannyvidsnyc]

I had to pause the video to say; I love that you said “kind of affordable...” when talking about the $599 lens. So many camera gear KZbinrs act like $599 is a steal, smh 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@MAKEARTNOWCHANNEL]

Yeah, i know how it is...I used to a 29-year-old camera guy with 1 camera and 1 lens and it wasn't that long ago. Ill try to do more videos with down to earth priced stuff--as a lot of what is super expensive can be done with much cheaper options and no one is the wiser.

[@mannyvidsnyc]

MAKE. ART. NOW. Would love to see more of that! 🙏🏼

[@Enflict]

I think it boils down to the professional's own situation... where finally advancing to a cycle of full-priced commissions allows for a larger budget, normalizing higher expenditures. The problem is that for most people who are just starting out and are literally scouring KZbin for any sort of direction, the idea of being in such a place is laughable. Heck, I even just got my first full time job editing videos and I still see mid-range gear as mostly inaccessible. But its still very useful information for when I do get there.

[@SkatEg94]

So many people get butt hurt about this topic. Most of the people calling gear like that "cheap" are only meaning that it's cheap relative to other camera gear. Especially down to earth people like Josh

Fun video. The CA at 5:17 is crazy. With most manual follow focuses, you can also set A-B stops. You could also have shot it on a shoulder rig, easy rig, or even hand held with a manual follow focus (or even more hard-core/pro by just grabbing the barrel)

Really appreciate you providing us this. Thank you. It’s fascinating and important info.

[@MAKEARTNOWCHANNEL]

Yeah I like the lens a lot actually.

[@sthubbins4038]

Great, as always. I would add, instead of riding focus on closeups with the focus ring, just match your subject's body movements, by leaning forward or back slightly as needed. Quicker, and you never go the wrong direction.

[@SteveBFamily]

Amazing video! I am filming in low light settings as well and need the brightest camera system possible. What about using a 0.71X speed booster WITH a F0.95 lens? Would that be the brightest combo possible for the Blackmagic Pocket cameras?

[@dominiccole]

What's really hard is shooting a closeup wide open on a 50mm or above with a photo lens that has a very short focus throw - like the 50mm Sigma Art. I will probably buy a follow focus with a 0.8 38T gear to slightly broaden the throw. Or would a wireless follow focus that can map the throw on a broader scale be a better option?

[@SNKFA]

That ending made it well worth watching through the very end😂

[@jonagreyphoto]

man you are too good!

[@richardt1792]

When there was only film, I found it hard enough to use an f1.2 lens. The depth of field is already so short. Using an SLR, I had enough light to manually focus. At the time, there was only the Canon rangefinder 50mm f.95 which didn't really seem to offer that much of an advantage since you are focusing through a rangefinder, not the lens. The lens also cut off nearly half of the rangefinder. I have a few f1.2 lenses, don't use them much. I prefer an f1.4 as my standard lens. Its sharper across the range.

[@live4christ297]

Best filmaking channel by far.

[@d-kz]

this is so good! funny and really helpful too. never heard of autofocus for manual focus dji

[@Noealz]

I got to get my hand on the blackmagic the other day - besides the battery- it's a tight camera

[@MAKEARTNOWCHANNEL]

[@nicholaslepp1502]

the laser auto-focus add-on thingy you showed us plus this lens equals super fast wide open footage with smartphone-like auto-focus, right? no? why-not? Lol

[@alexandermendeyev35]

I have a doubt. The C70 has superb autofocus capabilities... There's a speedbooster for the C70... So if you use an f/1.2 autofocus lens, the booster will make it a f/0.95... So technically, you can have autofocus on a f/0.95 wich i think is awesome but haven't found a single video testing that!

[@JayRogers]

When you said "Autofocus", I was about to click off, and then you said "No!" Haha!! However, one thing to mention: @4:25 when you talk about hyper-focal distance, it's actually just changes in depth-of-field, not hyper-focal distance. DOF is relative to the point in which you are focusing, and how far away that point is. Basically, when your focus point is at 1 m away, you have such-and-such an amount of DOF. When that focus point changes, to say 2m away, the relative amount of DOF changes. Hope that's helpful my friend :)

Hi Josh, I understand that when you're adapting to MFT you can bypass the crop-factor typical with cold adapters using a speedbooster. For example, going from a Nikon F mount with a cold adaptor to Canon EF, then mounting that on a Viltrox EF-M2 x0.71 to a MFT body. Would love a video on this because the details are confusing me a little! Thank you from Tasmania
