Blackmagic Cinema Camera 2.5 K Mft

I previously owned and used a micro cinema camera and the 2.5k cinema camera. The Pocket 4K is in a whole new league of it's own. The quality it can produce is amazing. The flexibility of the MFT mount has been great for adapting EF lenses along with some older Nikon and of course native MFT mount lenses. Looking forward to seeing some features to support anamorphic shooting and future updates as time goes on.

Everybody using an MFT camera for filmmaking (especially those with the Blackmagic Pocket 4K), should have a set of Cinema Prime lenses. Zooms are for the 'Instagram Generation.' If you are going to make narratives you need a firm grasp of film grammar. Prime lenses are the fundamentals of film grammar. For a while Veydra had the high ground on MFT primes, but they have left this earth, never to return. Now Meike has stepped up with their set of Cinema Prime Lenses. They are actually really good, and the prices are incredibly low for the build quality and image sharpness. The 12mm Prime is an excellent lens - it is in the medium focal length range with an MFT camera. It works very well with my Blackmagic 4K camera. I plan on acquiring a full set soon.

Fast and reliable for my Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4k.

A very nice and solid case for the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera.

With this adapter I'm able to use my EF-S lenses for my Blackmagic pocket cinema camera.

Mounting kit included works great with Blackmagic cinema camera.

Works exactly as expected with no issues (with the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K)

Nice and sharp on my Blackmagic Pocket Cinema.

Finally, a small camera that shoots Cinema quality and RAW still for timelapses. I use a Back-Bone MFT mount kit to be able to use lenses as well. Love this. Have two now and will probably buy a couple more. #goprokiller

I bought this lens to use with my Black Magic Pocket Cinema Camera which has a super 16mm sensor. Of course, this is a canon EF mount lens so if you are shooting on an MFT camera you will need an adapter. I bought the Holymanta EF to MFT adapter with built-in variable neutral density filter to kill two birds with one stone, the obvious being adapting this lens, the other reason was to be able to shoot wide open outside in a range of conditions without needing to stop and mess with a bunch of stuff on the front of the lens. This lens is about the equivalent of a 32mm lens on a full-frame camera and it really looked good on my first shoot. I'm sure there are better lenses and I'm sure most of them cost way more but life is short and if you need a good cinema lens that works well right now this is a great option. If you are into shooting with equipment that is designed to work like much more expensive gear, e.g. the BMPCC and can handle some of the drawbacks like working with smaller media such as sdxc cards, short battery life, poorer on-camera audio, etc. then this lens is just another great way to do that. I will definitely be buying more from this Rokinon Cinema Lens line.
