Just a question about the 'crop factor' to check I understand things correctly. I'm used to a 5D Mark II, so 35mm equivalent ratings.

With the pocket cinema camera, it roughly has a crop factor of 3x. So with the Panasonic 7-14mm f4 MTF lens for example, which is 14-28mm (35mm scale), would that make it 42-84mm on the pocket cinema camera (35mm scale)? Or am I getting it wrong there?

Thanks!

Quite a helpful tool. Shows you the relative fields of view between two sizes of sensors. Put your 5D in A box and super 16mm film in the second. The middle focal length box can be used to set a focal length.

Wow, that's a very useful tool. Thank you!

This is what I came up with using a 17mm (happens to be my widest EF lens) to see the difference between the 3 Black Magic cameras (pocket on the left, 2.5k in the middle, 4k on the right)
