Ursa Broadcast G2 dissappointing low light performance

PostWed Mar 26, 2025 7:56 am

Hi there. I bought Ursa Broadcast G2 for it´s variability and I really like it. But where it definitely doesn´t shine is it´s low light performance with B4 lens put on. I have the bundle one - Fujinon la16x8brm. I knew there will be some light loss with B4 lens but didn´t expect so big difference.

The low light performance with this lens is really bad and even much worse than Studio Camera 4K Pro G2 with smaller 4/3 sensor. I actually want to make sure this is how it should be. Or can the lens or the body have some malfunction? I have a video comparing UBG2 with B4 and EF lens and Studio CAM 4K. But it seems it is not possible to add it as an attachment or post Youtube URL, so I uploaded only photos. If you wanna see a video, send and email and I will send a link.
