Unfortunately, I don't have a micro 4/3rds anymore. But it is a good idea.

If 10bit is on the top of your list, then it seems like the Ursa or the BMCC are the options in your price range... Or a D16... Which has a beautiful image also.

Love the reflection off the boat's hull. Beautiful and mesmerizing. Nice job.

Right, I didn't take photos or shoot anything other than 4K with my old g7. I like it on the BMMCC though, but I would like it better with a different focus distance and if it had a better focus ring. The way the entire front of the lens turns feels odd when pulling focus, but the IQ is nice.

C mounts won't focus to infinity on the nx500... I know... I tried. They are cool macro lenses on it though. I don't think there's a list on here for micro 4/3... Other than the c mount list for the BMPCC. Might be a good place to start. Or try Flickr.

The 25mm f/1.4 Fujinon will cover the GH4. And I think the 12.5mm will as well... In 4K mode.

Fujinon 25mm... Lens porn?

I don't have either of those cameras, but I did recently purchase a BMMCC. With that being said, 10bit ProRes and 12bit Raw is simply amazing and I'm unsure if I can ever go back to 8bit color and anything less than 12 stops of DR. With that being said, I think the two couldn't be more different. I do not think you will be able to go into a dark reception hall with the Ursa Mini and get good results without additional lighting. But for music videos, commercials and narrative work, I don't think you can do better than the 4.6k at that price point. But as I have said, I have zero practical experience with either of those cameras and my opinion is solely based upon online videos, reviews and forums.

I've been wondering about that 17mm. I have the 12.5mm, the 25mm and the 35mm. I really like the lenses, but there is a big hole in the normal range on the BMPCC, without the 17mm. Do you think it would cover without vignetting in 2:35? Also, what did the modify entail?

Welcome Michael. Per your example, in 1080p video the crop factor would remain 2x, so your 14mm lens would be 28mm. In 4K, I believe it is a 2.1x or a 2.2x, so your 14mm would be around 30mm. However, I believe there may be a slight, additional crop when IBIS is used, but I am not a hundred percent sure about that.

But seriously, I get it... That is a pretty lens. I have a few I worry about too.

Maybe you just found your new shooting style... Infinity focus all of your shots and then wrap it in bubble wrap. No need to touch it.

The Angenieux are old 16mm film camera lenses from the 60s. I haven't shot with them yet, because I just ordered them, but from what I've seen online, they seem to be a little soft and dreamy wide open, but sharp enough stopped down a little... With an innate filmic look to them on the BMPCC and BMMCC. If you're looking for tack sharp lenses, then they probably aren't a good choice for you... If you're looking for softish lenses with character and a filmic look... Then they might be something you might like. Check out the c mount lens thread under blackmagic cameras for other options and there has recently been a few posts with c mount lenses under the lenses section as well.

Just got the Meopta 20mm c-mount lens in the mail, so I used it in a scene on a short I'm working on. I was actually out scouting locations when I found this old, abandoned cabin in the woods. For handheld and wide open... I am digging this lens. I think stopped down a notch or two and she will really shine.

Yeah, I'm sure there are. I saved the search on my eBay page. For the time being, I just picked up the Angenieux 10mm and 15mm c mount lenses. Am having a blast with old c-mounts and the BMMCC.

Yeah, it's very captivating. I really like your music choice. It feels like the opening credit sequence to a sci-fi thriller with a visual mixture of nebulous matter and alien dna. Nice job.

I just discovered your Vimeo page the other day. It's cool to see all of your BMPCC and D16 footage on there. Btw, that's a great price on those Kern lenses. I can only assume you got a Bolex with it? I just picked up a couple Angenieux lenses... The 10mm and the 15mm. Not a bad price, but nowhere near the deals you are finding. Does the D16 need an IR cut filter? I love shooting on my BMMCC with these old lenses but I do need to get some step up rings because the IR pollution is out of control on some of them.

I am no expert, by any means, but I have never heard of adding aperture blades... With that being said, I imagine it's totally possible and very expensive.

Nice. I have been looking for one of those for awhile but I think Andy Lee inflated the market... Because they are pretty pricy... Lol. I have been looking to pick up some Angenieux c-mounts though... As you said... That Angenieux something.

A little off topic, but I am looking at a couple AT-X lenses... Which ones do you have? I'll also pick up a Turbo II as well, so this topic came up at the perfect time. I also have a few MInolta lenses. And am looking at the Turbo II. Which lenses do you use with yours and have you noticed that the turbo looks better with certain lenses?

Have you looked at the Voigtlander 10mm? Micro 4/3rds, f/0.95, cheaper than the Panasonic 12mm.

The cosmicar 12.5mm f/1.8 might cover it, the others won't. I have the older 12.5mm f/1.9 version and there was some slight vignetting in the corners on the G7, but I think the crop factor is a 2.1x with the G7... So that could be the difference. Also I assume he graded the image, so it won't look exactly like that. Are you using any IR cut with these lenses?

I like how you can switch back and forth between the media, edit, color and render pages, but I dislike the color tools and the viewer layout and the scopes and the nodes. Don't get me wrong, it's a good program and it's free, which is really saying a lot for what you get, but I think I am just spoiled by the fact that my first NLE experience was FCPX with Color Finale. It is just simple, direct and in real time.

Honestly, this is probably the biggest reason for you to go with a Mac and FCPX. The auto synching feature with FCPX is nothing short miraculous. The lightning speed and accuracy blows me away every time I use it.

Excited to hear you went back to the D16. After using the BMMCC for the past couple weeks, I have a new appreciation for cameras that shoot Raw, and ProRes, and I'm unsure if I can ever go back to an 8 bit camera again. But then again I am probably over stating because I love my new toy/tool. Anyway, I look forward to some D16 footage.
