Sean wrote:As far as lenses, your 50mm is going to be more like 120mm compared to S35mm, so you're definitely going to want a wide option. Many people on the EF mount use the 8-16mm Sigma, or the 11-16mm Tokina.
You're going to want something of an equivalent focal length for any wide/mid range shots.
Hi Sean.. I want to correct a misinformation, a 50mm lens on BMCC or BMPCC will work as apprx. 75mm on s35 cameras (from Arri 35mm negative cameras to Alexa). If you compare it to FF 35mm (which is not belong to cinema, but belong to photography, as such as 5ds.) it will work as an apprx. 120mm on it.
Basically, when you put a 50mm to BMCC it will equivalent to 75mm on Alexa and s35, 120mm on 5d/5dm2/5dm3 and 35mm photograph negatives.
and I want to say it again and again and again, FF is not cinema, It is not belong to cinema. It is photography. Do not insult 16mm sensors with saying wide angle is gonna be a problem at all because all filmmakers use it when they shot on negative and it was not a problem. Tokina 11-16 works as something like 21-36 on s35 which is adequately enough. Do not compare it to ff, because it has no sense to do it, because we are talking about cinema.
