Unfortunately at this time (Cinema Camera version 1.1), not all Canon lenses work with the EF model. I have quite a large collection of Canon L lenses and all but two work with the Cinema Camera, which includes the 85mm f/1.2L (probably Canon’s sharpest lens they’ve ever made) and the 35mm f/1.4L. Because the 85mm focuses electronically (I’ve always hated that feature, even on my Canon DSLRs), it requires a protocol that BMD hasn’t figured out yet (I’m assuming Canon isn’t going to just hand that kind of information out). So with the 85mm, there’s no focus, and no aperture control at this time. With the 35mm, no aperture control at this time (but focus works fine).
Will BMD address this issue regarding compatibility?
this refers to the 85 1.2 II or I?
but you can always use the trick with the aperture lock on Canon (lens) cameras just set the aperture in AV or M mode, push the button for the depth of field near the lens and remove the lens, it will remain set aperture ....., focus what for you need?
