2K BlackMagic Pocket Cinema Camera, active m43, $995
I have seen the look of this lens! I have seen many examples of it on the GH cameras when it first came out, plenty with no grading. I was hoping that it would look different on the pocket since there is no internal processing on the pocket, but I s…

You can change a lot in post with grading but the character of a lens does not go away and I don't like the look of this lens. That's my opinion! If you like it use it, however I'm not the only one who has expressed such concern over …

After watching many videos of the 12-35mm on the pocket cam, I have concluded that I just don't like the look for film work. It's just too clinical, cold and videoish looking. Even on shallow dof shots with an ND filter it still doesn'…

I think we need an a b test with that Tokina, with the speed booster and without before we sign any death certificate.

So many people keep posting shaky handheld pocket cam footage partly because they don't realize that the IS on the 14-42mm lumix doesn't work with the pocket cam. I love this camera but its barely useable for handheld with image stabiliza…

The lcd screen shade is a JJC 3.5" shade for camcorders. I modified it to just attach to the top shoe mount. They are on Ebay and Amazon also under Rainbow Imaging. It works ok, but will ultimately need a loupe.

Here are photos of my pocket anamorphic rig. It's a Soligor focus through adapter similar to the Century Optix. I have it on the Lumix 14mm and the 14-140mm. Works on both with no vignetting. I will be shooting test this week, but I have to pra…

People who call this camera a POS have no idea what they are talking about. Just got mine today and I love it. I'll be shooting some test this week with Lumix and Nikons. I have GH 1,2,&3 and think they are terrific cameras, but the pocket …

Blooming is fixed. Black dot is fixed. There will be plenty of loupes and hoods for this camera in the future, in the meantime I will make my own. The only other real problem that could use a fix is sound, but I'm really glad I didn't canc…

@MikeLinn has this camera been recalibrated? There are blooming orbs on the vehicles in the first scene and in the water reflections in scenes toward the end. So, hopefully it has not had the sensor recalibration yet.

The pointy star thingy isn't the problem. Take a look at footage from the Red Epic on House of Cards and you will see starry orbs coming off night lights as well. The problem is on the pocket cam these areas are sometimes orbs and sometimes ill…

I can't believe all the angst about this camera. Yes, it has problems that BMD needs to address, but even with its current flaws I am still going to keep my preorder. Despite the blooming issues, I've seen some damn good looking footage an…

I just saw the same orbs on an episode of House of Cards which is shot with the Red Epic.

Lens tests on the BlackMagic Pocket Cinema Camera (BMPCC)
I have the 14mm + DMW-GWC1 that I will try as soon as my camera arrives. I preordered on April 8 from B&H but nothing yet.

Amazing! Brawley stated that he had some footage that he really didn't want to put out there because he knew the reaction it would get, but some people were bitching and moaning that it didn't matter and he should upload anything that he h…

Why all the vitriol? Yes, Blackmagic has had some problems but what they are doing with the pocket cam and the other cams is incredible. I put my preorder in as soon as I heard the news and they are shipping exactly when they said they would. I gues…

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 Braw…

I have one on the way to San Diego, should be here tomorrow. I'll shoot with Nikon Ais and pre-ais as soon as I can and post them.

Anamorphic Pairing
@BurnetRhoades I have a Soligor that is pretty much the same as the Century/Optex and it actually works on my Lumix 14mm without vignetting. I was actually quite surprised. I have tried it on the GH3 but not the GH2 so I was wondering if the smalle…

@double_vision I bought the Soligor off of ebay for an inflated price a couple of years ago when I got my GH2. It really is cheaply made and sold for a couple hundred bucks originally. Since the DSLR revolution all of these cheap focus through anamo…

I think this will be a perfect set up for the pocket cam.

Sorry, anamorphic floats and skewed as I took the picture but you get the drift.

These are stills of the 14mm 2.5 without adapter, with GWC-1 wide angle a 11mm, and the 1.33 Soligor anamorphic for comparison.

@double_vision The power zoom actually looks like a pretty good lens, and its only $200 on ebay. I just don't know if the pocket cam allows for controlling the power zoom. It looks like there are only controls for focus and aperture. Anybody kn…

@peternap I don't know what kind of mount you have for the Samyangs but if you plan on using them with the speed booster that should get you back close to the GH perspective. Either way they should look great. Just more portrait oriented.

Rambo posted this in May of last year Ralph_B, this is probably what you were expecting. The 20mm pancake with wide adapter is blurred center and edges at f1.7, it's not until f4.0 that the full frame becomes sharper edge to edge. Conclusion,…

Anyway I thought I tested in on my zoom along with my prime when I got it, but I'll give it another go when I get another one.
