Well may you ask! Not a word have I heard.

But, come July 25th, 2013, about 8 30 am I fully expect a knock on my door and it will be the delivery person with a smile, and my BMPCC.

Pigs might fly, ha ha ha. No, seriously, I’m optimistic. I already have a lens sitting here just waiting for consummation.

The place where I preordered my pocket cam, I had also preordered a lens. I happen to notice they charged my card card about 36 hours before updating their site, and my online order status, that my lens was in and shipping. So I keep checking my online card account, to see,if the charge gets initiated.

My local dealer tells me it'll be here in a week or two, so I'm pretty hopeful.

I've got one lens here waiting, a 14-42 OIS, and a MFT-EF adaptor I'm hoping might work.

Now all I need are a couple of SD cards and a couple of batteries, and ready to hit the ground running.

Which MFT-EF adaptor do you have may I ask?

Is it the Redrock Micro one?

I was hoping that was about 20 or 30% higher. A little bit of over sampling for the debayer process might have been a good idea.

That's exactly why the 2.5K BMCC exists.

The restriction in low light of this camera doesn't help either.

They exist. I bet you won't like the cost.

There's the Zeiss Ultraspeed 6mm T1.3

There's the Century 6mm T1.9 (which also has an excellent 4.5mm attachment)

Otherwise a 12mm T1.6 SLR magic works well.

You tease us John! Any new footage yet?

Re: What Don't You Like about the BMPCC?
 
As you can see I've been shooting with it.

Nothing I can release as yet.

Can I ask which PL mount that is? Looking into one for my Pocket Cam

Re: What Don't You Like about the BMPCC?
 
The HotRod PL adaptor.

Works brilliantly out of the box. Has also the option for LW lens support as well.

That's what John said, he was just pointing out that very fast wide angle lenses do exist.

Re: What Don't You Like about the BMPCC?
 
Sensor too small. They should have put a 4/3 size one instead so it could use all them lenses easily. The body itself is way too tiny , a bit larger with space to fit a larger capacity battery and a larger screen with touch menus. Besides some other things too many to mention.

And how do I get the BMCC in my pocket, smarty? :-)
