FS: 2 Blackmagic Cinema Camera BMCC MFT packages with Leica R lenses

John Fiege · August 5, 2015

I’m selling my Blackmagic Cinema Camera package with 2 cameras and an extensive set of Leica R lenses with MFT adapters. One of the great things about this package is that the Metabones Speed Booster adds a stop to every lens, effectively turning a f2 lens into an f1.4 lens. This speed boost happens optically with no significant loss of quality. The Speed Booster also changes the camera’s crop factor to about 1.5x or Super 35mm size. You can add lens gears to the Leicas and use a follow-focus rig and matte box. I’ve shot several professional projects with this package, including a TV show for the Pivot network and this piece for Whole Foods (which is not fully color-corrected):

And this spec commercial:

The package has never been rented without me and has only been used on a handful of projects. Everything is in great shape.

The Leicas are very sharp but the look has much more character and feel than modern lenses. The focus mechanism on the lenses is silky smooth as well (unlike a lot of still lenses, like many Nikon manual focus lenses).

Listed below are the prices for each of the components. If you buy the entire package, I’ll reduce the total cost from $11,358 to $10,000.

Let me know if you have questions or want to see additional photos.

Thanks!

John
