"Dicahub reports that the EF-M43 Speed Booster will be released in August. EF-M43 will have electronic contacts. This is good news because MFT will get access to the largest lens range of the world. Now Canon gear owners can sue their Full Frame lenses on MFT cameras gaining 1 stop of speed!"

Tokina 11-16mm for all your wide angle needs.

Also found another place that says its in stock.

I'm not going to risk it though, sticking to my B&H preorder.

@trumpetman I absolutely agree about the lumix lenses. I think once you have a decent dynamic range you really want sharp images that 'cut through the dynamic range'. I think with DSLRs people have been using soft lens as a preference to take the edge off contrasty images.

I always remember reading that Ridley Scott insisted on very razor sharp images, soft doesn't equal cinematic.

I attached a crappy image from my iPad to make a point. This lens is tiny, almost like it was built by BM for the Pocketcam. I bought the 14-42mm mk2 recently and couldn't believe how small it was.

@chaos123x Who'd he buy it from John Brawley?? The guy is full of BS.

I think everyone is going to be quite surprised at how nice the lumix lenses are going to pair up with the BMPCC. I never use them with my GH cameras when I'm going for a cinematic look, only my Nikons, but from what I've seen in John Brawley's footage I think this is where the sharpness of the lumix lenses will payoff. The pocket cam doesn't have the internal processing like the GH and therefore will not yield that over sharpened video look that you get with lumix lenses on the GH. I also think distortion correction will not be that big of an issue either since the smaller sensor is taking more from the center of the lens.

@double_vision

Who knows, I asked if they did a unboxing video but no response.

@Vitaliy_Kiselev

That's part of it, but I'm sure it has more to do with over heating since it's in a smaller body with no fan.

If this isn't true why not just give us the full sensor?

If they'll provided full sensor sales of original BMCC will drop sharply.

I brought up that theory the day after its announcement. I no longer think this is a possibility do to technical things JB and BMD has said as well as the pictures of the camera.

@jimmykorea again, your right, but take it easy mun

"It actually might be cheaper to get the Bmmc Mft when you factor in buying a bunch lenses."

BINGO!!

Even the Production Cam! I bet you could have a decent 3 lens kit from vintage primes for under even $500. Don't forget with a global shutter you can more easily do without a rig too. Once the dust settles many might gravitate toward the Production camera in the end.

@Chaos123x Who said its crazy to want to have a wide lens?

As the discussion was around getting wide I just suggested that IF people were struggling with getting a decent wide on the Pocket for whatever reason including budget then maybe a different camera might be a better option, or work with the limitation you got. Look if I saw someone trying to open a can of beans with a spoon I might suggest to them a can opener, that's all.
