First, obviously is the glass. I've ordered a MFT mount version, which means waiting for next year before I can get my hands on one.

I want to know if anyone here is currently shooting with the original version, and what additional equipment you feel is needed to handle shooting. My rough list is the following:

o Baseplate (I'm using Zacuto with FF) on Sachtler sticks

o EVF -- I'm using the Zacuto also, for zebras and flexible positioning

o 2 x SSD drives... I'm waiting to order these until last minute so prices come down

o Matte box? Is this essential? I think not, for my documentary style shooting

Will my two-year old MBP be enough to edit ProRes422 encoded 10 bit video? How should I connect the SSD drives? I think for my initial shooting, Raw might be too much for my workflow process.
