On one sunday of October, 2009, I have filmed some material with a 30$ C-mount Cosmicar 25mm 1.8, a very small and light lens in l'Herbe, a small fishermen port near Bordeaux, France. I always openned it at 1:1.8 for its particular circular bokeh, it reminds me pictures from my Lomo Olga. It's a lens for security camera. Then almost 1 year later, on one sunday of August, 2010, I went back to l'Herbe, but with my new 30$ Fujian CCTV C-mount 35mm 1.7, no vignetting there, but you have a "tilt shift effect" because of the lens' poor quality :) Between those two dates, the GH1 hacked firmware have appeared. This is a comparison between those two cheap CCTV lenses, and the Panasonic / hacked firmware, in the same place, with my same (older ;) daughter. 1- GH1 720P PAL (Panasonic Firmware) 30$ C-mount Computar TV lens 25mm always @ 1:1.8 for its particular circular bokey 400 to 100 asa, shutter from 100 to 4000 to keep it wide open 2- GH1 720P NTSC (hacked firmware) Fujian CCTV C-mount 35mm always @ 1:1.7 for its particular tilt shift effect 400 to 100 asa, shutter from 100 to 4000 to keep it wide open Edited on Premiere CS5 No color correction You can watch the original 2009 Cosmicar movie here : http://vimeo.com/6898873 and another Fujian/hacked movies here: http://vimeo.com/13797794 http://vimeo.com/13910873 Hacked firmware from Tester13 "AVCHD STABLE POUR 720P Selon jobless Video bitrate adjustment - 38000000 Overall bitrate adjustment - 40000000 Limiting bitrate adjustment - 42000000" Since I've hacked my GH1, two mains problems have appeared : 1- It's hard to edit on Premiere CS5 (on a Mac Book Pro unibody end 2008 with 4 Go of RAM), there is too much bit rate for native editing, so most of the time I have to edit with FCP trough "Log and transfert" in Apple Pro Res 2- I can't shoot on 720P under 60 shutter speed because of awfull mud problems.... Wich is a problem when I want to have more light... Duration : 2mn56sec Music : The Velvet Underground "Sunday morning"
