Who has Panasonic 7-14mm on BMPCC?

PostWed Dec 18, 2013 12:14 pm

Does anyone have the Panasonic 7-14mm MFT lens on a BMPCC?
Since Panasonic cameras apply some heavy correction in software and
the BMPCC doesn't but uses only a smaller part of the image...
I'd really like to see how the distortion looks at 7mm and 14mm.

Do the raw images contain enough Metadata for Lightroom to do the
lens-correction in software? Does that work despite the smaller sensor?
...can Resolve apply lens corrections? (I guess not, it's a color grading tool after all)

No real footage, but I tested it.

At 14 mm no visible distortion. At 7 mm barrel distortion. For me is the slight fisheye effect for this wide angle ok. But perhabs not for critical work like architecture.

Btw. I started a thread with similar topic yesterday.

I used one of those lenses for several of the shots in this reel, including the setting sun time lapse over Lake Mead.

The Olympus 7-14 is great, no perceptible barrel distortion at 7mm, unlike the Olympus 12mm.

I just last week acquired a Lumix 7-14 MFT for use on the Pocket Cinema camera. I needed a very wide lens for my underwater work. The 7-14 works very well for a WA lens for this sized sensor, given the 2.88 sensor crop factor, and equates appx to a 20 or 21mm lens on a 35mm full framed sensor. Prior to purchasing the lens I rented and shot tests and compared the 7-14 to the Panasonic 8mm fisheye. The 7-14 is a very sharp lens, very rectilinear, and it is extremely sharp to the edges at f4.0 at the widest 7mm. I love this lens's optics. Its crisp and sharp and verly little CA on the fringes. You see very little barrels distortion due to the crop factor to. Its still there, but not too bad. I also shot tests of the 8mm Fisheye and on the 8mm I noticed much more noticeable barrel distortion with the 8mm. Much more pronounced. And, the images at the edges wide open were "softer" vs the 7-14. The 7-14 is not a cheap lens. The 7-14 has only a couple of negatives.: One, is that there is no external filter threads. You have to rig, or purchase some sort of 3rd party aftermarket trick in order to mount ND filters. Also, the 7-14 has a protruding glass element, that is very susceptible to rainfall, snow, and picking up lights and the sun and creating lens flare. I suspect that I'll be kitting up a small matte box or some other arrangement on this lens. Also, the 7-14 is only a f 4.0. I sure wish there was a faster version of this lens out there that wasn't $3000 (like the Optar Illumina t1.3 8mm)

7-14 is a very nice lens for my pocket !!!
I only bought it! I already had all the canon lens for my old 5DMII and then for my BMCC :-)
I use an mft-EF adapter for the others values from the 16-35f2.8 to the 70-200f2.8!!!
Just wait for my 4K and I'll be ready for a lot of setting...
Enjoy^^
