I did a test yesterday for a upcoming shoot this week in barcelona.
No grading and no sound - quick and dirty

I find it astonishing what this camera is capable to do!

Michael,

Actually, I'm interested to hear what aperture Canon 400mm f/2.8 L this EPIC 5K 300fps@2K footage shoot at?

@ 6.8, 8, 11,...???

 

[Michael Kromschroeder]

I don't really know ;-( did not have a ND so I set exposure with aperture. Should have been between 2.8 and 5.6

 

[Jay Silver]

Where'd you get the canon mount?

 

[Michael Kromschroeder]

Jay, that is a Canon PL mount lens 400 / 2.8.
No Canon mount sorry ;-(

But I am looking forward to getting the Canon mount as soon it is released!

My guess is between 6.8 and 11 or even more up...

keep in mind that you default ISO on Epic is 800, also apertures 2.8 and 5.6 without ND are probably getting overexposure in the image...

Also DoF is shorter @ 2.8 to 5.6...that I couldn't see any issue with that or the answer your aperture should be starting with 6.8 or higher...

Just try out with a "normal" cine or still manual lens and then get the answer was described above...
