Yeah. after you rig it up it's actually great for wedding. 
 

So having shot with the bmpcc4k now for most of 2019 figured I'd share a finished video if anyone is thinking about doing wedding work with one. 
 

it's like a cheat code. you have a giant diffuser around the room making everything flattering. 
Especially for the light beam from out side the window like this picture 
   
without haze machine it's near impossible to see those 

HD full frame mostly. I use 4k from time to time for the reach but don't really need the resolution 

verry interesting. I haven't updated any of my cameras yet since we are in the middle of wedding season. But all of our bm (2 p4k and 1 p6k) has been really reliable so far. We use npf plate and t5 ssd on all of them and none has any shut down issue. I have found if the ssd is more than 3/4 full, it takes a lot longer to read. 
The playback thing is the same with every bm camera so it's not a bug. 

Lidar can achieve accuracy of 1mm so depends on the implementation, SDOF should not be an issue. The only draw back I found was specular surfaces but @BTM_Pix seems to be on top of it. 
Now if @BTM_Pixcan get the gyro information from the p4k chip and use it with steadxp that would be another game changer. IBIS with autofocus, a man can dream 
 

Sun flare is part of lens characteristic. While my zeiss milvus is bloody sharp with a good dose of micro contrast, the coating eliminate any short of sun flare whatsoever. 
 during bridal shot I like to use canon 50mm f1.2 to get that crazy sunflare.

Without giving too much (or indeed anything) away at this point @xzobinx and @scotchtape, what you see in this initial proof of concept and what the reality will be in a couple of months when the "real" version happens will address both of these aspects.
As I said early on in the thread after @Andrew Reid revealed the original prototype, it was very much a jumping off point for where this would end up.
Hopefully for the better or course !

damn my day job is land surveyor, I use trimble scanner all the time and never thought of applying it to autofocus system. Great job mate. 
I'm guessing for manual lens like zeiss milvus or cine lens, focus gears is the way to go. Sign me up for preorder, kickstarter or whatever meant to get this. with this, I can retire my eosr and put a p4k on gimbal.  

I wholeheartedly agree with your view. I shoot wedding mostly and my main focal is 50 and 100 but I will always have another tele in my kits no matter what. You never know when you have a photographer with 35mm during ceremony or bunch of guest with iphones.
My idea of minimalism is the least amount of gear to get the job done, not trying to make it work with whatever because I'm too lazy to bring another 1kg.

Pretty sure I have used two lens for this which broke the single lens rule but I can assure that both are Soviet.
I made this a while ago as part of my street music passion project. 
If anyone can tell me the name of the song, much appreciated

It's "Misty."  Jazz Classic.  So much of a standard song that Clint Eastwood made a movie around it.  The tune is by Erroll Gardner.  For my money the best rendition of the song is from Ella Fitzgerald.  Best sax rendition?   I'll go with Sonny Stitt.  Saginaw, MI represent!
Look at me, helpless like a kitten up a tree...
Anyone want an internet rabbit hole to go down?  "Misty" will take through the pinnacle of mid-century American music.

I went the same route and order the focal reducer with EF mount. My only advice is getting the zhongyi lens turbo ii if you only intend to use manual focus lens. The optic sits a bit deeper than viltrox and MB so it's compatible with a few more m42 lens IE. helios 44-2 or MIR-1. 
A few quick still from a wedding I shot last weekend with Zhongyi and rokinon 85 1.4

I have to find the time to do it so can't promise anything atm. 
Your finding is similar to mine. I only use the 37 for the occasion shot and much prefer the 35 F2 for the same reason. Another issue with the mir 37mm is the big minimum focus distance. Not a deal breaker but can be annoying sometime.   
Here is a still from Mir 35 f2 

From widest to tightest 
Mir 20M-MC 20mm F3.5
Mir 24M 35mm F2
Mir 1B 37mm F2.8
Helios 44-2 58mm F2
Helios 40-2 85mm F1.5

This is mine with the helios 58
