Black Magic cinema camera questions?




Elizabeth


What's the difference between the Blackmagic Cinema Camera EF and Blackmagic Cinema Camera MFT? I understand the basic difference, but what would cause someone to buy one or the other?
Also, what are good lenses for filming that are compatable of working with the BlackMagic Cinema Camera?
Thank you!



Answer
So the EF is a Canon mount for Canon EOS lenses.
Great EOS mount lenses include:
50mm f1.2
50mm f1.4
24-70 f2.8
24-105 f4.
Canon, Zeiss, Tokina, Sigma, Rokinon all make great EOS glass but remember that the cinema camera's sensor is significantly smaller than something like a 5D mkIII meaning that your 50mm lens is going to behave more like a 100mm which makes getting wide shots tough.
MFT is the micro four thirds mount and the one I'd recommend for this time of camera.
The MFT mount is shared by panasonic, Olympus, and the BMPCC and Olympus, Panasonic, Voigtlander, Sigma all make great glass. Some of the best include:
Panasonic Leica 25mm f1.5
Olympus 45mm f1.8
Sigma ART series
Voigtlander f0.95 series
Since micro four thirds glass is designed to fit on smaller sensors you tend to find a more usable range of options allowing you to get more usable shots.
In the end, go with what you already own lenses for
