I stepped up from a Canon 550 and bought the BMCC.
After getting over the shock of the flat image it shot, and finally colour grading the footage.I was blown away.
STUNNING.
BUT, the size of the thing was a real put off. Its like something out of a Sci Fi film. You couldn't use it subtly or
in a documentary style shooting. Its just so BIG. I also hatted the display, useless in DAY,the fixed battery also meant adding to the bulk. SO I sent it back.....and bought the BMPCC.
The problem is that Ive been spoilt by the BMCC.
I also could use all my Canon lenses on the BMPCC EF. So now I have a cheap EF-MFT adaptor $50.
The image so far is not blowing me away. Also the crop factor is tough to swallow. Its really hard to get any width to the shots with any of my lenses. Canon 50mm, 17-55 and a 28mm......everything is in your face.
Ive seen some great stuff done on the BMPCC.....so is the cheap adaptor to blame?, will spending $1000 dollars on a MFT 1.4 or 1.2 lens SLR Magic,etc....give me the same images that I had from the BMCC EF...
Also picking ONE lens to get me going is tough,I know that one lens will not do everything.
BUT what would be a Desert Island ONE lens only BE>?????
Any thoughts appreciated by a NEWBIE, so go gentle.!!!
