Scanned and developed at home. Love the 50mm 1.8 pancake, such a nice compact everyday carry paired with the FM2N.

painterly rendering, I like it.

Electronic Shutter sucks, but it is what it is.

Finally got a chance to properly test the Osmo Pocket 4P mounted to my car using the SmallRig 5123 suction cup + shock absorber arm.

I’m extremely pleased with how it turned out.

I shot everything in D-Log with auto exposure and only used a CPL to minimize reflections. I intentionally skipped the VND because I wanted this to be a pretty straightforward real-world test, and constantly adjusting a VND while driving obviously isn’t practical.

Auto exposure gave me some pretty high shutter speeds, and the footage straight out of camera was VERY jittery in certain sections. I was able to clean it up in post though, and the final footage looks surprisingly smooth and cinematic.

I tested both the wide and 3x lenses and both performed about as well as I hoped. The SmallRig arm also stayed completely tight and secure.

My car is on air suspension and the ride is honestly pretty rough, so I was expecting the setup to struggle more than it did.

I was actually considering buying an Insta360 specifically for exterior car shots, but after this test, I really don’t think I need one for my use case. The Pocket 4P does the job just fine.

Curious if anyone else here has been experimenting with exterior car rigs. I’d especially like to see what settings/mounts you guys are using.

Footage is not inverted, I drive on the right side since my car is imported from Japan.

I've had the 28P, 55V, and 90V for a while now, and I absolutely love them. They're incredibly sharp and produce beautiful files.

That said, I've been wanting something with a bit more character. I shoot medium format film as well, and one of my favorite lenses is the Pentax 67 105mm f/2.4. There's something about that rendering that feels a little more organic and film-like, and I've been hoping to find a similar feeling on my X system.

I picked up the Mitakon Zhongyi Speedmaster 65mm f/1.4 today, and these are just some quick test shots around the house. Nothing serious, just getting a feel for the lens before a portrait shoot I have next week.

So far, I'm really enjoying it. It's refreshing to use a lens that isn't chasing absolute perfection. Sometimes the most beautiful photographs come from a lens with a little personality rather than one that's perfectly clinical.

Looking forward to putting it through its paces next week, but I figured I'd share some first impressions.

Shot all these in 14bit due to the faster e-shutter readout.
