I spent all day making videos on my K1 with various wide angle lenses. This is the first time I've ever made any videos with my K1 camera.
I viewed these videos on my one year old, 55-inch, LG digital TV. The TV is set to "auto" aspect ratio, and it auto selected the 16:9 ratio (black bars at top and bottom, but with no distortion of the image) when playing my K1 videos. The K1 was hooked up directly to the TV with an HDMI-mini / HDMI cable. Obviously, no post processing was done.
Both my wife and I liked the videos the best that were made with the Sigma 18-35mm Art lens.
This Sigma lens vignettes when taking still photos on my K1 below 28mm. However,
this lens does not vignette at all in video mode at 23mm and above!!!
My camera settings included: FF crop mode, Full HD / 24P, Aperture Priority Mode (Av) at f/2 and f/5.6, no shake reduction, AWB, exposure compensation -1. I focused the lens manually on a tripod.
On my 55-inch TV, the videos produced by the K1 and Sigma 18-35 Art looked just as colorful and clear as the "HD" digital channels we watch from Spectrum/Charter cable TV.
If you've never made a video with your K1 camera, don't let all of the negative reviews and Internet comments get you down, give it a try and like me, you just might be surprised to discover that K1 videos are actually not that bad!
