Need help choosing a prime lense for the BMPCC 4K
![Post Post](./styles/bmd_universal/imageset/icon_post_target.gif)
Hello,
I just switched to the BMPCC 4K and use it with the Panasonic 12-35 F2.8 OIS. Its works fine, but I want a more shallow depth of field and thus want to add some faster primes. First something around 42.5 mm and later something around 17.5 mm.
My setup is quite minimal. I mostly do documentary and travel and prefer a super small rig. No cage. No follow-focus. No gimbal if I can avoid it (but i do have one). The smaller the camera, the more unnoticed I can shoot. The less intimidating it is to people. But thats just my personal taste, in case it matters.
I looked at the Voigtländer 42.5 F0.95 but I heard that its quite soft wide open and if stopped down, the bokeh becomes edgy.
Another option could be the Panasonic Leica Nocticron 42.5 F1.2 OIS. A bit pricy, but I try to buy used lenses anyway.
What are your thoughts on this. Any other lense that I should check out? The Meike/Veydra are too slow for my taste, I guess.
Kind regards, Jan
