Just looking for any thoughts or opinions/information on Using the upcoming Pocket 4k With Canon FDs and a metabones fd - mft speedbooster ultra.
I've owned the original BMCC, Pocket and the UMP and to my liking the image from the original pocket was just outstanding. I'm pretty familiar with BMD cameras and love the organic cinematic look they bring.
I'll be trading out my A7S II Kit for the upcoming pocket 4k. I have sold all my Samyang Primes (very sick of them but great value) in exchange for a crisp set of Canon FD Primes that I've added cine-gears to which Im hoping to adapt to the Pocket 4k using the Metabones Speedbooster Ultra which I believe will bring down the x2 Crop of the sensor to around x1.42 in hopes of getting a super 35mm focal length from the FDs whilst keeping the DOF of the Super 16mm M4/3 Sensor.
I'm really looking to emulate a stylized 16mm look moving forward and hoping that this setup will pay off. I intend on shooting a few shorts and an upcoming feature with such. Whats really got me excited is the small form factor and mobility of the camera along with its features against the UMP which Ergonomically I have not been to pleased with and my FDs get an additional x1.2 crop on such and loose a stop of light. I feel like all I'm loosing moving to the Pocket 4k from my UMP is in-built NDs, the 4.6k which I rarely use and a couple stops of dynamic range while actually gaining the ISO function over 800.... in poorly lit conditions.
Would appreciate any opinions or advice on the thought of going ahead using the pocket 4k with the FDs as my main camera to achieve a more vintage look.
