Blackmagic Forum

Hi,
I am a german based industrial photographer.
I need a system to record perspectival corrected scenes.
Is it possible to use Canon or Schneider Shift lenses on the Blackmagic Camera ?
Will there be problems like color fringing or vignetting ?

Regards Peter

I think you should be able to use them with BMCC and I don't think there would any specific problem which you didn't experienced with any other cameras.

If your camera isn't moving, you could also do vertical, horizontal, and distortion lens corrections in post. You could even do this in Adobe Lightroom with the RAW files from the BMCC (they are standard DNG files) and sync it over all the frames

You can use PC lenses.

The good news is that because the sensor is smaller, you have a lot more room to roam on the edges of your lenses as they are designed to project a larger image.

Samyang also do a ef mount tilt shift lens. http://www.samyang.co.uk/samyang-t-s-24 ... -lens.html

shift lenses on 2.3 crop factor will give you some trouble getting shapness...

tilt shift lenses works perfect with full frame, work so so with aps-c... IMHO

Hi, thanks for your answers so far.

Does this apply only for tilt or do you think I might get focus problems with shifting as well ?

Another question.
I mostly use largeformat technical cameras with Rodenstock and Schneider lenses for my photographic work.
I don´t have any DSLR lenses. Not one.
Meaning I have to buy all lenses for the blackmagic Camera.

Which model would make more sence in the case, the EF or the MFT ?

Regards Peter

I doubt there are any good tilt-shift lenses for the MFT mount. The EF mount BMCC and a Canon TS-E 17mm f/4L or Canon TS-E 24mm f/3.5L II will probably be your best bet.

People have been using Lensbaby tilt-shift lenses with Micro Four Thirds cameras for years with great results. There are many models available, all fully manual, so should be compatible with the BMCC-MFT. Cheers.

I doubt the plasticy Lensbabys are of much use for industrial photography/cinematography. Maybe for "miniature" tilt effects, but not for clean perspective correction.

Good point. Lensbabys are probably not a good match for the OP's application.
