The Panasonic GX80/GX85 are great cameras for photographers, but now they might find some usefulness for cinematographers willing to go through the trouble to perform this hack. The reader that sent this in warned that this is less than ideal and obviously it can be risky.
First you’ll need this file in order to connect to the camera:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/m6idirb…You can also follow this link in order to learn more about how this works and to thank the people that came up with it:

Hopefully, Panasonic will implement these features in a future firmware update now that they have been fully exposed, but if not maybe we can hope for a hacked firmware to emerge. Either way, chances are good that this process will be made easier in the future.
The Laowa 7.5mm f/2 is an exciting lens for m43 users offering an extra stop or more of performance at the ultrawide end. It’s not a perfect lens, but not many ultra-wide lenses are. This is an extremely wide lens and it has some flaws, but nothing that can’t be overlooked if you need to shoot this wide.

Cinima5D recorded a lengthy interview with AXIOM project leader Sebastian Pichelhofer. AXIOM is an open source camera project that lets you assemble your own camera. You can build an APS-C, 2/3, and 4/3 camera from their kit, but they are only beginning to deliver some of the promised stuff from their crowdfunding now, so it might take a while for them to deliver a complete package.
