Let us know when you tell your clients, who are paying you for the photos, that you're going to use a Blackmagic video camera instead.
You're right. I am dismissive of the idea of asking an artist to pay me to use a Blackmagic video camera to make photographs of his or her art. Your characterisation that I'm hostile to the idea misses the point. I don't take the idea seriously enough to be hostile to it.
In the real world, outside of an idiotic discussion on a forum, it sounds like you don't take the proposition seriously either.
If I'm wrong, and you intend to start charging artists to make still photos of their work with your Blackmagic video camera ... hey, go for it. Sounds like it would save you quite a lot of money.
