I've been using a FotodioX EF to MFT adapter with the 24mm and 35mm Rokinon's and definitely need to invest in the Metabones T Cine 0.71 Speed Booster due to the 2x native crop. Yesterday I took the camera out for another test shoot during the day, battery life was short as expected, but the shots I brought back and edited, and color graded, added a Kodak LUT was phenomenal. Rich, vibrant and a clean image with virtually no noise. I got the footage and brought it into DaVinci Resolve, edited, color graded it and all I had to do was up the saturation to 2.0 and contrast to 1.35 and the pictures that came out were way better than what I saw with my own eyes.

The sun was setting, however it was overcast and dull. I got home and did another test shoot on a tripod this time where I live. Within an hour I had unpackaged, assemble, filmed test shots, installed DaVinici Resolve Studio, edited, color graded and uploaded the test footage to social media all within 60 mins!!! In that one hour I fell in love!!! Then a few days ago I received my BMPCC 4K and some Rokinon Cine DS lenses.

The thing that I hated with the DSLR video/film cameras were the menus were a pain to work with and full manual control was still super difficult. TV shows for spots where they couldn't get a major rig into a confined space (Hawaii Five-0 for example shooting on the USS Missouri). The Canon 5D MkIII and MkIV, it was the next big thing for indie filmmakers as well as. Then we hit the early 2000's and DSLR's became a thing after the Panasonic HVX revolution. Basically I grew up with full manual control over cameras. I've been in professional film & television production now for 30 years, I started in the days of film, went through lean times where the only gear I personally owned were video cameras (which killed me), and shot on broadcast Sony gear with Fujinon lenses.
