Lenses for Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera

Sangye

Rather than pollute the official Pocket-BMCC thread with this information, which I think is something a lot of people are interested in, I figured a separate thread might be useful.

Please post and discuss various lenses that may or may not be compatible. I'll edit this original post to include any notable lenses that are confirmed to cover the Super-16 size sensor. I'm also working on writing a guide to using other lenses with a Speedbooster, with consideration for depth of field, field of view, etc, that I'll include in this post.

Those are Arriflex-mount lenses that should cover the sensor, though there may be some vignetting.

Here are some more C-mount lens options that will cover the full sensor, without vignetting. I don't know if they're any good, however.

6mm f/1.8 ($600): http://www.shoprmaelectronics.com/kowa16mmf18manualirisc-mountlens2-megapixel.aspx

8mm f/1.4 ($450): http://www.shoprmaelectronics.com/kowakowlm8hc18mmf14manualirisc-mountlensmegapixel.aspx

12.5mm f/1.4 ($357): http://www.shoprmaelectronics.com/kowakowlm12hc1125mmf14manualirisc-mountlensmegapixel.aspx

On the telephoto end, here is a constant f/1.8 zoom that will cover the sensor without vignetting. Again, I haven't found sample footage so I cannot comment on whether it's any good. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Apollo-18-90mm-f-1-8-Lens-with-C-Mount-EXLN-NR-/151024120414?pt=Camera_Lenses&hash=item2329bd325e

Please use original topic, later, after NAB, I'll split lens related posts and add it to this topic as well as reopen it.

Howdy, Stranger!
