The Pocket 6k does give a better image. However a speedbooster can be had for $200 which is still much less than the Pocket 6k with wider field of view and the option to do 4k RAW without having to crop in on the sensor.

You can boost P6K too though:

 

I guess the only P4K advantage is MFT mount lenses option route aside the price, obviously.

Pardon if this was discussed elsewhere, but which c-mount lenses are your favorite with BM? I'm curious to give the 2.6k a try.

I always liked Cosmicar, Fujinon, Kern Paillard and the Angeniuex 15mm I liked a lot as well.

The key to c-mount lenses is knowing what size sensor/film the lens was originally designed for. Some c-mounts were made for security cameras and some were made for S16mm film. This will tell you if the lens will cover the sensor without vignetting.

The other issue is learning which lenses will fit on a c-mount to M4/3 adapter without needing to be modified. Some are too wide at the base to screw all the way into the adapter. Some Cosmicar and Fujinon lenses need to be modified. With the Cosmicar lenses, look for ones that look kinda like old manual metal lenses with knurled grips. There are essentially two different ones... black ones that are f/1.9 and silver ones that are f/1.4. The f/1.9 lenses are fairly sharp wide open. Most Kern lenses will fit the adapters and so will the Angenieux. I've done a lot of research, so I probably know if a specific lens will work or not if you are unsure.

Good luck, but be careful... c-mount lenses have a very unique look because you're using the entire surface of the glass, so the image is akin to using FF lenses on a FF camera. They can be very addictive.

Thanks. Going by your comments over the years and by looking through past threads, I figured you'd have some good suggestions. I appreciate your time.

No problem, happy to help! Also Canon TV-16 c-mounts are really nice too as are the Zeiss Tevidons. The Cosmicar lenses, which are made by Pentax, are probably the cheapest. The 12.5 and 25mm are great little lenses and can be found for around $50 a piece. Kerns are a little more expensive but they are just gorgeous... mechanically and optically.

I'm not afraid of lenses with character so looking forward to trying some of these out in the BM4k crop when I can.

That's what makes P4K the best cinema camera ever designed, launched and manufactured so far : ) I mean considering all variables, it's a gem with no comparison at all : -)

Be sure I've produced and shot with dozens of camera manufacturers so far, very likely, all existent brands without mention some non-existent today too, beyond more than three decades of work and my love for them ; -)

This is available for free, new 3D LUT for BMPCC4K (inspired by the industry standard Arri - Rec709)

The LUT is currently available for Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera (BMPCC4K, BMPCC6K, orig. BMPCC) I've been bothering a lot of different LUTs for a long time... until I created my own

http://tondadamborsky.cz/2020/03/19/lut-for-bmpcc4k/

BMPCC4K has warmer colors i recommend u bmpcc4k - WB set slightly to minus (-300,500) than other cameras or orig.Pocket (BMMCC)

I hope, you will like it. I tried to keep the max dynamic range, and natural skin color.

A few shorted manuals for DaVinci Resolve (the full manual is 3,200 pages long):

The Beginner's Guide to DR 16 (444 pages, direct download here)

Advanced Editing with DaVinci Resolve 15, Introduction to Fairlight Audio Post with DaVinci Resolve 15, Color Correction with DaVinci Resolve 16, Fusion Visual Effects with DaVinci Resolve 16 - manuals on this BMD page here.

In these days of auto-isolation it is not bad to volve the pages of the manuals, something we never had enough time. - Stay safe.

Maybe full frame model dropping. With flip screen. 

the full frame will certainly come at some point, but how much will that be? Will they change their body/ergonomics? and why now? it will be making more sense to keep everything similar (a lot more profitable) until they change this generation of Pocket cameras.

I will be waiting until September to make a move, but this price drop (which isn't real yet, as all the dealers around here have the same prices 2400-3082, with 2700 the official price from the official BM retailers) is really tempting and makes a lot of sense for a lot of people.
