My fist lens purchase was Panasonic Lumix 14mm f/2.5 G, which is an okay lens, but not great for indoor use – although the aperture of f/2.5 seems fast enough for DSLR users, due to the smaller sensor of BMPCC I need to set up really strong lights for the image to be usable at f/2.5 ISO 800. Well, not crazy expensive, but not cheap either. Good quality lenses in BMPCC’s native mount, Micro 4/3, are expensive. Here’s what I learnt from shooting with this camera for the first 4 months: Lens choices Still, I think BMPCC was a good investment and I have learned a good deal on exposing, lighting, color correcting, adapting lenses etc. Despite its size and form factor, BMPCC is not by any stretch a consumer camera. Although this camera produces an amazing image, recorded in 10-bit ProRes 422 codec in different flavours (422, 422 LT, 422 HQ, 422 Proxy) as well as RAW output with high dynamic range of 13 stops, it is actually much harder to get an overall pleasing image and good skin tone out of it than any DSLR camera – you need good lighting, nice lenses, color grading knowledge and more often than not – a denoise filter like Neat Video. To do things over again for me personally I would have likely got a 4k as I love vintage lenses as well as anamorphics.Many of you know that I’ve recently purchased the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera. As far as port selection they are identical and they are just about the same size physically, the EF mount area for the 6k is just a bit longer.īoth cameras are amazing value for the price and you get access to the paid version of Davinci Resolve, which I highly recommend. You can crop as well as downscale the 6k image to 4k and reduce digital noise which is a nice option. If you already have EF access the 6k is great and you don't have to worry about losing image quality by using a speedbooster.
Now that being said the 6k has less of a crop factor which is nice (about 1.85 on the 4k, about 1.58 on the 6k if I recall). I didn't think of these things when I bought my 6k. The 6k does not have 4k blackmagic RAW, you can only shoot 4k in prores currently on it. Adapting vintage lenses such as Canon FD to EF is a huge pain due to the flange distance of the EF mount by nature.
Consider this for example:Īn anamorphic lens for EF would cost about 10x more. The 4k has a number of high end lenses at an affordable price.
