    Julian got a reaction from jbCinC_12 in Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera c-mount lens compatibility list   
    Eagerly awaiting your Pocket Cinema Camera? You already have a micro for thirds camera and some C-mount lenses? Want to know if they will cover the sensor of the Pocket? Lets find out! I hope you will add your results, so we can make this list growing.
     
    I will only add lenses to the lists when you have proof, in other words: images.
     
    How?

    Because we know the active sensor area of the BMPCC measures 12,48 x 7,02 mm, it is fairly easy to check if our C-mount lenses will cover the full sensor. Calculate this by taking a picture with a lens on your micro four thirds camera, and crop out the image area of theBMPCC.
     


    In Photoshop:
    Open the image. Go to Edit > Image Size, uncheck resample image. Change Image width to 19 centimeters, press ok Go to Image > Canvas Size, change dimensions to 12,48 x 7,02cm, press OK to crop the image to BMPCC size. Resize to 1920x1080 pixels Post your results! Note: If you shoot on the GH3 or other MFT camera's, the sensor size is 17 x 13mm, so change the width in step 3 to 17 cm!

    To lazy to do it yourself or you can't work it out? Upload the full resolution files and I'll do it.

    List terms explained:

    Yes = covers the full sensor of the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera
    No = doesn't cover the sensor
    Needs modification = Doesn't fit on C-mount to M43-adapter without modifications
    Equivalent = The focal length and depth equivalent on a fullframe camera (5D Mark III for example)

    A 18-35mm zoom (for aps-c-sensors) with a constant aperture of f/1.8? Sounds unlikely, Sigma just did it!

    This will be sweet on a Nikon D5200/D7200 (or Canon aps-c-camera, if you insist :))
    en the MFT Speed Booster arrives, it will be awesome on the GH3 and pretty cool on the BMPCC aswell...
     
    With the recent 35mm f/1.4 Art and 30mm f/1.4 DC Art Sigma showed great performance. Hope this 18-35mm f/1.8 lives up to it.
     
    Price? No idea. Not cheap... but the excellent Sigma 35mm f/1.4 Art is relatively cheap compared to the competition. I think €1000 would be a pretty good price for this zoom. Could be a bit more...

    Julian reacted to richg101 in Nikon V1 - shooting 4K 60fps raw for $200   
    method:-

    buy a spare lens - or find a lens terminal from a nikon 1 lens. remove the terminal and glue in the right location into a nikon 1 to ef adaptor.

    remove the ribbon cable off the terminal and solder trailing wires in its place. check with multimeter and then 5miniute epoxy over to seal your solder work in place so solder joints cant break.

    solder the other end of the wires to the corresponding terminals on another nikon 1 lens. Then seal over all the soldering on the lens terminals with a cap and tape it down.

    now the camera still thinks the kit lens is attached, and as you depress the shutter you can hear the lens trying to autofocus. while doing so, perform focus on your manual focus lens.

    in order to take a photo you need to have an area of the image in focus before depressing the shutter button half way in order to present a green box 'focus' point' mark on the screen. Once focus is confirmed you can hold the shutter half depressed and refocus to your hearts content. then fully press to take the shot.

    I did this modification for a mate. He supplied the nikon and 2 lenses. works great!

    Julian reacted to stephen in Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera c-mount lens compatibility list   
    IMHO the exact ratio of BMPCC to Full Frame is 2.88
     
    Full Frame Active sensor area for full HD video is 36 x 20.25mm
    diagonal = sqr(36)+sqr(20.25)=sqrt(1706.0625) = 41.30
    BMPCC active sensor area 12,48 x 7,02 mm
    diagonal = sqr(12.48) + sqr(7.02) = sqrt(205.0308) = 14.3189
     
    41.30/14.3189 ~ 2.88
     
    Which is the same if you simple divide the long sides - 36/12.48 ~ 2.88
     
    Most C-Mount lenses cover 2/3'', 1/3'' and 1/2'' inch sensor sizes. Probably only 10 to 15% of all C Mount lenses cover the 1'' sensor size needed for BMPCC. So most will vignette heavily on BMPCC and among those which do cover correctly the 1'' sensor size there may be  still problems. Like:
                    1. Will the lens work without modification on a C- Mount to m43 adapter. Some don't. Can't focus on infinity and need some rework.
                    2. Is the image quality good enough. Most of those are surveillance camera lenses not optimized for high quality photo/video/film work. From what I've seen image quality on GH2 (tele converter mode) doesn't look good. It doesn't make sense to buy BMPCC which is supposed to give great image quality and stick a poor soft lens in front of it.
     
    My hopes are in Metabone Speedbooster for m43.

    this is my entry for a competition at a local tv channel. the shigascope with a takumar taking lens on a Nikon V1. 
     
    my first complete bit of video since i started playing with video in september.
     
    and i came in second  :D ! so it's now being aired once a week for the next year. ( i would have rathered the cash value as a prize but oh well)
     
    a friend told me about the competition 2 weeks before the deadline, a bunch of us got together and shot it in an afternoon,... cut together without knowing what i was doing,.. still dont really know  :P
     
    for those that dont speak japanese,... the competition is called Furusato which roughly translates to hometown and is intended for locals to promote their hometown. 
     
    since i'm not originally from here i decided to make it about the foreigners/non-locals who have chosen to make this city their home.
     
    it got projected in a movie theatre for the awards ceremony,...
     
    the brilliant thing is that everyone else shot regular aspect ratio stuff,... so their videos occupied the middle area of the screen,... 
     
    when mine came on,... it was like 'boom!' filing the screen, lighting up the room,.. was so cool. 
     
    actually no thats not the brilliant thing,.. the brilliant thing is that people thought i shot this on a massive camera. i bet they think i was being a dick and lieing to them when i said it was a nikon v1 :P
     
    that is all for now  :)

    Come one guys... Don't make it harder than it is. The numbers are there. The sensor size is known (in the specsheet on the Blackmagic website), so is the crop factor! There is no doubt about it.
     
    Of course the cropfactor is measured from fullframe camera's, because the term cropfactor comes from the photography world I suppose. We all know what the cropfactor of 2x means for MFT, or what the cropfactor of 1.6x means for our Canons (and 1.5x for Nikon dslrs).
     
    So lets stick to the standard that a fullframe camera with a 36x24mm sized sensor has a cropfactor of 1x.
    The cropfactor is determined by the diagonal of the sensor. In video mode the aspect ratio is 16:9 instead of 3:2, so the active sensor area is 36 x 20.25mm for fullframe.
     
    The math:
     
    Fullframe (5D Mark III): Active sensor area 36 x 20.25 mm, diagonal of 41,30mm.
    Blackmagic Pocket: Active sensor area 12,48 x 7,02 mm, diagonal is 14.32 mm.
     
    Divide 41.30 by 14.32 = 2,88. So the cropfactor (in relation to a 35mm fulframe dslr) is 2,88x. Fact.
     
    his data is what the test is based on and I don't have any reason to believe it is incorrect. Science just prohibits from Blackmagic from changing anything to this fact. Or the Pocket must have a built in a Speed Booster... but it doesn't.
     
    Lets just accept that the cropfactor is 2.88x, at least till someone can prove otherwise. The people mailing answers like 'we don't know the technical details yet' aren't very technical I suppose. I'm not a professor either, but this is all very basic stuff and the sensor size is in the spec sheet, so the cropfactor is know.
     
    Sorry, It just frustrates me that people get all confused over this.. The way Blackmagic is answering to those questions doesn't help a lot either.

    I think you have to decide for yourself what is most important.
     
    Image Quality: BMPCC probably wins big time with the dynamic range and the raw editing options - But the GH3 is still very good
    Ease of use: GH3 - Flip-screen, oled viewfinder, lots of buttons, touch screen. Reasonable file sizes
    Lens flexibility: Both pretty flexible, GH3 wins because finding good wide angles or bright standard lenses for the BMPCC is going to be more difficult (and expensive) with the 3x cropfactor.
     
    The GH3 is a much more complete camera than the BMPCC. The Pocket is just the cheapest way to get raw footage.

    That statement doesn't make any sense. If what you are trying to say is that you can't get shallow DOF from s16 mm then that's patently untrue, not crazy shallow like FF, but still possible. It all depends on lens size, distance from your subject and aperture.
    In fact I bet 95% of people slagging off s16mm sensors have never even worked with the medium........ But you know what they say "got a 5D, you're a DOP".

    Julian got a reaction from Jonesy Jones in Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera c-mount lens compatibility list   
    Eagerly awaiting your Pocket Cinema Camera? You already have a micro for thirds camera and some C-mount lenses? Want to know if they will cover the sensor of the Pocket? Lets find out! I hope you will add your results, so we can make this list growing.
     
    I will only add lenses to the lists when you have proof, in other words: images.
     
    How?

    Because we know the active sensor area of the BMPCC measures 12,48 x 7,02 mm, it is fairly easy to check if our C-mount lenses will cover the full sensor. Calculate this by taking a picture with a lens on your micro four thirds camera, and crop out the image area of theBMPCC.
     


    In Photoshop:
    Open the image. Go to Edit > Image Size, uncheck resample image. Change Image width to 19 centimeters, press ok Go to Image > Canvas Size, change dimensions to 12,48 x 7,02cm, press OK to crop the image to BMPCC size. Resize to 1920x1080 pixels Post your results! Note: If you shoot on the GH3 or other MFT camera's, the sensor size is 17 x 13mm, so change the width in step 3 to 17 cm!

    To lazy to do it yourself or you can't work it out? Upload the full resolution files and I'll do it.

    List terms explained:

    Yes = covers the full sensor of the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera
    No = doesn't cover the sensor
    Needs modification = Doesn't fit on C-mount to M43-adapter without modifications
    Equivalent = The focal length and depth equivalent on a fullframe camera (5D Mark III for example)

    Julian reacted to brucker in Thank you   
    great idea for a thread!
     
    yes, thanks to this site 8 months ago i learned about anamorphic lenses and managed to get amazing looking stuff on a dinky lil nikon v1 camera with zero previous video experience.
     
    i actually entered a local competition with said dinky camera + anamorphic for a laugh and came in second place, much to my suprise... my 30 second bit is now being aired once a week for a year on local tv.
     
    i've now upgraded to a gh2 as i've actually been getting paying work, all due to the amazing people that contribute and who drop a crazy amount of knowledge on these forums, so yes, thank you guys very very much!
