The S5 + 28-70 Sigma has really seemed like an awesome option especially if there is a firmware update planned for RAW.

AF is hit or miss for me only if there is someone behind the subject. It was never able to tell which face was closer.

Hello all! For various reasons, I put down the rigs at the end of 2019 and in the last few weeks I have picked them back up for some short films and small events here in town and I got the itch again. One of the reasons I put down my cameras was I felt I was limited in mobility. When I used an a6500 on a DJI Ronin S I felt I could go anywhere and film anything because of the size/weight and the AF. I upgraded to XT3's and a BMPCC4K to gain a PQ upgrade, but my functionality of what I was able to do really went down and I actually lost gigs over it, especially with the P4K, when it was a dolly or sticks it was perfect but SO MUCH of the work I was called for was on a gimbal or handheld and it just doesn't fit that bill for me. Felt like a total idiot too!! Huge gear upgrade that actually made it harder to get gigs and thus pay off the gear! So If I am going to do this again, I want to do it right. When I worked my best and my gear became a creative extension of me, was with my small Sony's and gimbal, but the PQ wasn't there. I am sure in the last year or so there have been some major upgrades in this industry but going on Youtube to find some honest reviews is tough. Is there a modern equivalent that offers similar PQ to the P4K, only small enough to be flown with reliable AF so I can just focus on the story and not gear? Thank you everyone...

I picked up a Zeiss Distagon 25f2 T* and it does not have very much focus breathing at all - added some gears and im happy.

eBay link please~ Also -My examples.. they are named after the F-stop of course - so much character and vibe wide open!!! Stopped down to F4(-ish because the XL does weird math on my P4K) its sharp and gorgeous.

This one is next! Got the lens today. So doing tests in a bit~

Awesome! By chance you have a few sample clips/screengrabs sitting around? Can't find a whole lot of good examples on this guy

EF - I shoot on a P4K w XL and an XT3 w a Fringer

Hey guys! Got a stupid good deal on Zeiss Distagon 35 f2 T* i’m getting it next week. $300 Anyone used this? Comments concerns i should know about? I already have FF gears that will fit but just wanting everyone’s experience with them. Either way, I plan on sharing usage over with my photo camera too.

Hey team, hope everyone’s day is going good. I am working on a project with a band right now, and i want to integrate my friend who is a much better editor than me. However he does not use Davinci, but using PrPro right now. What is the best way for an easy hand off? I have a drive full of BRAW. Do i make a database? Do i grade the whole raw files and then just give him the ProRes? I’d like to finish in Davinci, and he does have the free version. How can I send him the project and then he sends it back edited? Sorry for seemly dumb question, I am just new to collaboration with other editors.

Hey guys! Diving into anamorphic this next few weeks and I think I have finally settled on what i’m gunna do. Rapido’s Full Package C. I use a BMPCC4K with the .64 speedbooster with my Helios and Mir1b. (100% sure the MIR wont work, but i got it for free so hey!) Full Package C includes: Schneider Super Cinelux 2X Anamorphic Lens FVD-16A FMJ-16 V3 full clamp Step down ring/ Step up ring 1/4-20 foot support Rear Metal Jacket (RMJ) Will all of this work with the new 2.8k mode and get me a clean and sharp 2.4:1 delivery? Just trying to avoid as much vignetting as I can so i don’t have to crop. Thanks everyone!!

I wish! I really wanted to, but never spotted one. I also missed the Aurora's, as the sun only set for about 2 hours when I was there. Thanks Andrew!

Hi guys. This won't be a gear-related post, but more of just a thread to show you something important to me. This summer was rough. Fiance left, both parents got cancer, lost my grandparents and that is just the tip of the iceberg. So in July, i left. I packed a duffle and booked a studio apartment outside Reyjkavik for a week. Of course, I took my BMPCC4K. This is not so much a gear "look at how good my shots and coloring are" (kinda) but more I just wanted to share this place with everyone.. even if it is just a little slice. For the grade, I converted BMDFilm to Linear, CST to LogC, and from there use the Impulz Cineon process, using 5207 on input and 2383 on output and graded in between.

Just picked up the SliderPlus Pro Compact last tuesday. Game changer. Never coming off my tripod

I wonder what is all going to be going in the new P4K firmware update..

What do you all think? For the price, I know I will try it. https://www.mirrorlessrumors.com/surprise-this-is-the-new-sirui-50mm-f1-8-133x-anamorphot-lens-for-sony-e-fuji-x-and-mft/

I did that one time too while interviewing people at my work. I was so pissed at myself!

Yea i did - BMD-709 with Sat Map - didn’t go Alexa color, just LogC

Hey man, no need to be rude about it. Nothing that can not be adjusted in a secondary, or even left if it serves the look. Either way, your LUT appears good. I will pick up when it is available.

My Linear conversion looks different than yours..?

In the live broadcast, Grant mentioned new features coming to the P4K via firmware update soon. Does anyone know what those features in detail? Or when the update is coming? All of this news of the 6K totally overshadowed his entire talk on the new 4K stuff. Thanks!

Did you decode as Linear first? I find this benefits all camera and technical LUT's, so maybe send me 1-2 second raw file lets put it to the test. Can't debunk based on no evidence

I do the CST in Resolve of Linear-LogC and that has given me the best highlight roll-off ever. Not a single LUT i have tried has gotten close.

Not really. There are many many owners of BMD systems on this forum. I've been using BMD stuff for a long time and never a failure.

Doesn't look like the 4K's page has been updated to say anything about anamorphic
