Alright, lets be real about this. You cannot possibly call a camera a "cinema camera" without an option for cine glass. It's a tad bit ridiculous and I'd say we should all be slightly ashamed for not making this a major topic. I understand many of us are working with micro budgets, but c'mon Canon glass is by no means even close to being designed for cinema. Automatic focus with such a short focus distance! Active iris! If we had made this a point with the 2.5k camera maybe they may have implemented a PL mount or something adaptable to PL on the 4k.
If you rent glass for cinema, chances are you're renting Zeiss, Cook, or Angenieux all of which are manual lenses with PL mounts.
What can we do, and can anyone from Black Magic Design address this or at least acknowledge this considerably important thread please. Why make a 4k cine camera with improved global shutter when all we can use are zeiss photo lenses and assorted canon mount lenses. Pardon my attitude on this but I find it all a bit silly (and yes, I clearly understand it from a sellable/marketing standpoint, but throw us cinemaphers, not videographers, a bone please).
I look forward to my MFT mount 2.5k when it arrives and am happy to see such amazing results. Keep it up Black Magic! Lets improve your cine camera line together!!
Cheers,
Andy
