That just leaves me with finishing off my Rokinon DS lens kit and then I'll start working on my XEEN lens kit. ![]() The nice thing is I effectively have 4 lenses with just two lenses once I have the Metabones.Īs I need a wide lens for an upcoming music video, I ordered the Venus Optics Laowa 9mm lens yesterday and am looking forward to receiving it this week. I've been using a FotodioX EF to MFT adapter with the 24mm and 35mm Rokinon's and definitely need to invest in the Metabones T Cine 0.71 Speed Booster due to the 2x native crop. Yesterday I took the camera out for another test shoot during the day, battery life was short as expected, but the shots I brought back and edited, and color graded, added a Kodak LUT was phenomenal. Rich, vibrant and a clean image with virtually no noise. I got the footage and brought it into DaVinci Resolve, edited, color graded it and all I had to do was up the saturation to 2.0 and contrast to 1.35 and the pictures that came out were way better than what I saw with my own eyes. The sun was setting, however it was overcast and dull. I got home and did another test shoot on a tripod this time where I live. Within an hour I had unpackaged, assemble, filmed test shots, installed DaVinici Resolve Studio, edited, color graded and uploaded the test footage to social media all within 60 mins!!! In that one hour I fell in love!!! ![]() Then a few days ago I received my BMPCC 4K and some Rokinon Cine DS lenses. The thing that I hated with the DSLR video/film cameras were the menus were a pain to work with and full manual control was still super difficult. TV shows for spots where they couldn't get a major rig into a confined space (Hawaii Five-0 for example shooting on the USS Missouri). ![]() The Canon 5D MkIII and MkIV, it was the next big thing for indie filmmakers as well as. Then we hit the early 2000's and DSLR's became a thing after the Panasonic HVX revolution. Basically I grew up with full manual control over cameras. ![]() I've been in professional film & television production now for 30 years, I started in the days of film, went through lean times where the only gear I personally owned were video cameras (which killed me), and shot on broadcast Sony gear with Fujinon lenses.
