Vintage Panasonic Video Camera

I use the S5 for pro-sumer photo and video and use a lot of vintage lenses along with the Panasonic and Sigma Leica L mount lenses. The sensor is better than an equivalent Sony in terms of image quality and low light, but the ergonomics are better. Adapters for any format to Leica L are available and the available Leica L native lenses support everything needed. I researched extensively before this purchase and I am not disappointed- the S5 is a top performer for photo and video at this price range.

Camera: well, this is an amazing camera. I'm using primarily professionally for video, but the photography on it is outstanding and really fun. I have a bunch of vintage Nikon lenses that were handed down to me, which I am using for both photography and video. I'm still developing my skills using it manually, but when I dial it in right it is fantastic. On automatic, the autofocus is not great at low light. You might be happier with a Canon for full auto shooting. Although, I'm not sure if that will change with future firmware upgrades.   Kit: Pretty useful kit. I think it should include a card reader, because if you're on an old Mac, you'll need a reader. Plus, it downloads about 10x the speed. The camera case is better than nothing, and fine if you're only using what comes in the kit. I added a vintage 200mm and a 35-105 zoom into my kit, and along with the FTZ adaptor, well, this little bag is packed and awkward to use. UV filter is nice. Can't remember if I got a lens cloth with the kit, but I think some cleaning supplies would be a welcome addition as well.

It is great to know we can still use our vintage camera.

I purchased two of these cards to record HD video with our Panasonic Streaming Video camera. Both cards were formatted in the camera without fault. The first one has been used and performed flawlessly. We had been getting random record errors with slower SDXC cards. We have recorded continuously for an hour and fifteen minutes on the the new 200MB card with no problems.

I have a X2000 Panasonic video camera. This controller was a great addition to its ease of use.

Ordered to use on a Panasonic video camera. No issues, no complaints. Works very well.

I wrote a review for the 1/4 BPM too... so some of this is the same. I've been told my work has this vintage, or cinematic feeling, but that's not the reason why I use these filters. I like Black Pro Mist filters because cameras these days feel too digital and too sharp - to the point of where I think it detracts. It's entirely subjective - and I hate the cliche of saying it's my style but it is. The best way to describe the look of the BPM 1 is it makes your image or video look way less digital in camera. The halation in the highlights is very noticeable and it overall softens the feel of your image or video. Color grading with these filters is still easy, as these filters just changes the sharpness especially with how highlights fall off, and it doesn't quite impact the color itself - with exception to how saturated it is. If you want that dreamy, or incredibly vintage look, then get at least a 1/2 or 1. The filters are relatively inexpensive for camera gear, so give it a shot. If you don't like it for your everyday look, you never know when it'll come in handy for one-off projects!

This is a very well made and minimal bag. It fits my Panasonic G85 with a small vintage prime lens snuggly. I especially like the included shoulder strap, it's nicely padded. Does not fit my A7RIV with FE 35, needs more depth (lens-wise needs an extra inch or so).

used for vintage box camera, thankful b&h keeps the old film available!

Just the batteries needed for my vintage camera!!
