Confused About Lenses for BMPCC
Posted: Mon May 27, 2013 8:56 amI'm planning on making a camera purchase this year, but so far the couple of video cameras I've researched had integrated lenses that were not interchangeable (example: Panasonic AG-AC130)
Now that I've started reading up on the new BM Pocket Cinema Camera, I'm really thinking of building upon that instead, but I know very little about lenses. If I go this route when the camera becomes available, I'd like to start with a basic set of three lenses; normal, wide angle, and perhaps a macro.
For someone like me who doesn't already have a collection of lenses, would it just make sense to only purchase standard micro four thirds lenses for now, or is there a benefit to buying a specific adapter for a different type of lens?
I'm just trying to do some recon on the costs of an entire set up before I proceed, but I need some help in the lens department first. I'm hoping someone can help me understand this part of it a little bit.
Thank you very much!
