it would have to be significantly better than the XL to justify a replacement 

I would just use the Davinci built in LUTS

i suspect you could throw a piece of broken glass in font of the bmp4k and the footage would still look good

 

My beat, battered and heavily scratched Helios 44-2 that I picked up for £4.99 produces an incredible image on the Pocket that made me sell my Sigma 50-100 

@mercer the falloff on the 25mm looks fantastic 

Do NPF batteries/plates provide enough volts to power the camera through the external power port? I remember reading in the manual that it requires more than using an internal dummy battery. I would give it a check to make sure we're not missing anything. 

Yeah the Zeiss 28mm is constantly tempting me and I'm looking at maybe picking up the Zeiss Flektogon 20mm 2.8

build a set around one fast prime and then get a zoom to cover the rest of the focal lengths.

Thats what I do with the 28-70 2.6 and the helios 58mm on a speed booster XL, although I do find myself wanting something wider sometimes

This £20 SD Card works for DCI 25p Q5/12:1... not bad

I will be able to run all day with the 500GB T5

I bet original 4.6k prices are going to drop somewhat

i've removed mine. You can just do it by hand my pulling as close to the base of the port cover near the hole as possible. It takes a while but eventually they will pop out. They can also be reinstalled but that took me a while also.

Fantastic video! great example of the P4k and Helios. 

Is you like black and white films, don't miss Roma.

Noisy. 

But each person's critical standards of what they'll put up with will vary. 

Yeah that was my first impression but for £85 it was worth a punt. Its going on its first shoot tomorrow, I've alerted the sound guy already... will report back on what he says!

Ugh. Did a whole feature film with two of those....

 

what did you think of them?

The Godox SL60 is a great light if you can put up with the fan noise

@Kisaha

not bad for £459 kinda makes me want to replace my trusty glide cam!

DJI have released a cheaper essentials package for the Ronin-S at significant discount.

ill try to find you at the zoo

@mercer Nah sorry its not my video. The lens looks great tho, based on that video. The flaring looks fantastic imo. 

Meike 25mm Cine in action, there a full set coming soon. Some seem to think they are Veydra clones. 

https://www.reddit.com/r/Filmmakers/comments/atv62q/meike_25mm_is_literally_the_same_as_veydra_25mm/

@thephoenix Nah I think the lens covers a full frame sensor, The P4K + XL is about 1.2x so your good to go.

Yeah it looks great at 70mm I used to have a copy that was glowy wide open at 70 but the version I have now doesn't glow as much

i am pretty amazed by the af, i thought it would be crap due to its old age but it is pretty smooth even if i mainly will use it manual focus

I broke my autofocus aha but I never used it anyway! and it pairs well with the Pocket 4k & XL 0.64 Speedbooster 

That lens has replaced all of my other lenses. It has fantastic character, You'll enjoy it!

I have a C/Y to EF adapter so I can use my 35-70 (and other Contax lenses obviously!) via a speed booster on MFT to help things along speed wise.

Do your Contax Zeiss lenses work on the SB I heard some people had to file down parts at the back of the lens?

Great looking setup, I received the half cage a while ago but I'm still waiting for the ssd holder and cable, where did you order from?
