Hi guys thanks for reply and help i got BMPCC ,Rokinon 14mm (39mm equiv.) T3.1 for 950 i think good deal question should i get speed boster for my yashica lense its a bit expensive but i cant find one for my lenses do they make speedboster for my lenses? and is there cheaper version of what speed booster does i really don't need electronic since my lenses are manual

Ps how big would my sensor size be with speedboster?

Thanks

From what you're asking, I actually would go with Blackmagic, but not the 4K, the Pocket with a Metaboones EF Speedbooster.

 

I recently shot with it, and out of the box it felt so much better than a 5D. more like a cinema camera.

It's shoots 10 bit, 4:2:2 in Prores HQ and also shoots RAW 12bit, which is prefect for you to play with the colour in post. it also got more dynamic range or at least the same as RED from what I saw, defiantly in RAW it's the same, but highlight rolloff is nicer on BMPCC.

 

Also, it got MFT mount, so if you feel like from time to time you want to go super16, it opens up a huge options for other lens mounts adapters and lenses.

 

BUT, just as a note, I would wait with buying a camera after NAB which is only a month away.

would you know if mft mount will work with yahsica lenses but what i need is the adapter?

 

Could you elaborate a bit more about why you like to buy a camera? what kind of work you do? Is it for a specific project? What's your experience with both? more info the better.

 

I used to shoot a lot on the RED ONE, it's very solid, but RED are going to stop supporting it properly soon. It's a PL mount Camera, there is an option for some Nikon mount I never used, no EF as far as I remember.

I personally only used it with proper Cine lenses, which will cost you 20K+ and a lot of lights, and you'll need a powerful machine to work on it in post if you like to work on it yourself (Mac Pro etc, no laptops).

Also, support is 35mm film world, meaning heavy tripods, and any other mounting or steadycam would need proper (expensive) equipment.

 

As you stated you have really Yashica lenses, which are a lower cost version of the wonderful Zeiss Contax which in themselves considered inexpensive ( a steal really) for RED users, I'm not sure it'll be a good idea for you to get into RED One world.

Maybe Scarlet MX.

 

Scarlet is out of my price range i am on a budget here 5000 Canadian and can ayshica ml lense be used on MX body do i just need the adapter.

Thanks for the help

Hi guys i have problem i can buy Red one MX camera for 5k or Black magic k4 i have set of prime Yashica ML lenses 2.8. I know MX is a heavy camera but i can get entire package for 5k and i dont mind working hard for my shoots and this camera has about 2000h on. It shoots 4.5k and is same camera use on Che and girl with dragon tattoo now which one to get. Black 4k has so many issues like that vertical pattern noise and i am not sure if they fixed any of the problems and updates take so long.

PS if i go with black magic 4k which mount do i need for Yashica lenses PL or EF

Thanks

I found some examples of the video but the guys say that he needed to lens re-housed lens and it cost him 2k what does he mean by lens re-housed

Thanks for reply. Quick question over at eos hd forum one of the members told me about Schneider Kreuznach Cinemascope Anamorphic Lens that is the newest anamorphic projection lens what he is saying is this. I believe that this guy know his lenses but before i shell out 500 dollars would you know if this lens is any good ? I cant find any video samples of this lens on the web so i really cant tell if it is as good as the image sample

this is the sharpest anamorphic lens on the market you can buy

It basically say this
Anything too heavy is hard to mount
and not very practical. Projection
lenses are designed for long throws
which mean the minimum focus
distances are terrible (5m+), and you
have to use diopters to do even the
most basic portrait shot. There’s also
a dearth of information on such
lenses, you never know quite what
you’re buying.
There are a vast array of projection
lenses available yet nobody has shot
any footage of worth with them - so
that tells us a lot.

Any help would be apriciated
