@keller42 +1 re "organic/filmic". The images coming out show big potential for this camera.

@Kairutan Thanks for posting footage. Looks very nice and shows potential of this camera. I'm curious if you tried any sharpening yet, and if so, how the image responds to that and how well it holds up.

I will be out this morning shooting again with my BMPCC. This time, I will try a variety of other lenses, and compare the results. Also this time, I'll be using a tripod.

@kholi, I am and thank you for posting. That frame has 'organic/filmic' written all over it which is of course, big. Definitely feel the softness you describe laying over the image, but plenty of details seems to be there, so some people will post sharpen to taste, as you say.

@MRfanny

Can you post an example? I'm not seeing it but I do remember the grey cast of the 2.5K, no longer plagued by that.

@peaceonearth I know it was and it didn't make sense. I was referring to people bitching about things they have no idea what they are talking about and at people who've never even touched the camera which seems to be the majority of the people who post here. I shoot with these cameras. I posted an image earlier and stated how much I like the camera. I asked about update and replied "Bummer" Not, I hate BM, BM is lying to us, BM should be held responsible. I said bummer. I knew there was a fix but couldn't figure out what was going on. For you to tell me to shut up and get over it and move to another camera when I only use BM cameras now and sing there praises makes no sense and yes, it pissed me off. Go back and read through everything. THIS is why certain people are dissapearing from this forum.

The mount is surprisingly solid and capable of holding a lot of weight. I managed to shoot handheld today with a Helios and a Sankor 16c attached to it. Excuse the softness of some of these takes. My aperture was open a bit too wide.

@Kellar42

Not sure if you're still paying attention to this thread, but here's a random still from a moving shot screen capped:

It's the Sigma 18-35@2.0 with a Tiffen WW ND on it. The camera's overall "softness" still kind of lays over the image, but it's also pretty sharp IMO. You have some room to add sharpening as well, I didn't add any.

and one could simply purchase one, shoot with it, and make a decision to either love it and keep it, or hate it and return it (minus the restocking fee)

A bit OT, but on that note, B&H (for one) has previously acknowledged (assuming the quote is accurate) that non-defective returned merchandise may be (and is) resold as "new", which is probably true of all retailers which accept returns, with or without a restocking fee (B&H doesn't charge one), whatever else they may claim.

It does seem unlikely a distributor would take back an item simply because a customer of the retailer didn't like it. That still leaves the "open box" sales approach, but those are usually items which have defaced packaging or are missing material, and could never pass as new.

@vapourtrail I could have sworn that's what I read to. Thanks man!! I don't go on the BM Forum anymore. It's too crazy over there. And that's says a lot coming from me :)

@aldolega Thanks, see above post too :)

Just for anyone waiting or curious, my BMPC, ordered from b&h the day it was announced at NAB shipped on Wednesday and arrived on Friday. Did a few quick tests at Nuit Blanche on a nice Ai Wei Wei installation and will post when edited. So far it lives up to the hype.

have you checked your in and out markers in delivery if you are selecting all?
