P.S. - you don't mention if you're talking about EF, MFT, or both. Could you clarify?
will be for both
Kudos for jumping into the fray. Will be great to have a choice between lens companies specifically addressing the BMCC.
Lens designers must be very precise and accuracy obsessed people. Too bad it doesn't translate into the almost endless ambiguity in the language they use in these posts. It would be less ambiguous to say "will be one EF lens to be used on both mounts with any adapter you choose for the MFT mount" or "will be a lens design for the EF mount and then another lens design for the MFT mount." Use your own words, but there's a huge difference in those two statements I suggested.
Apologies if I sound irritated but at least I am not only trying to encourage you to use less ambiguous language but Owen as well. If you both surprise us at NAB or similar industry exhibition, I respect your ambiguous comments here now since you want to save the thunder for a later day when you'll have the attention of the press.
I would hope there will be a lens designed for the MFT mount without an adapter as I have mentioned to Owen. I leave it to you if you want that MFT designed lens to work with a true MFT sensor or you want to make some very unique lenses that have image circles that only fit the BMCC sensor and gain some competitive advantage in a smaller market. Either decision comes with risks.
