BMPCC4K Kern Switar 16mm Film Emulation

[@moritzschierenbeck]

Man. 16mm overscan with sprockets AND super 8 sprockets at the same time. And people seem to love it. Strange times.

[@TopshelfJunior]

Yeah that’s pretty wild, lol..

Mellenial 🙏😇

I used these Switar lenses on 16mm Bolexes back in '90's film school. They're expensive. For organic digital I would instead go for a good, cheap 25mm or 35mm c-mount CCTV lens. Pentax makes a gorgeous 25, and Fujian's dirt cheap 35 is the most underrated lens on the planet.

Any place to find the Kodak Portra film LUT ?

[@alexparadis3438]

what sorcery is this? the conversion to Arri colour space is mind blowing! Thank you for sharing the info!!

[@jamesandcamera]

Quite a nice vintage lens that one. Always good to have a soft lenses in your kit for suitable projects.

[@ludekaschenbrenner8025]

Great job, nice vintage look

[@milanjani]

good info. Lot of ppl say that BM 4k can't have the same Original BM look. Is it true?

[@bluefilmsltd]

This is proof that that is a myth.

[@milanjani]

@@bluefilmsltd thanks

[@nollieheel214aim]

Is there a super 16mm mode on the camera?

[@cfcreative1]

looks really good

[@justalexhimself]

wow what a great look you managed to get out of that lens!

[@cmyrb]

Amazing! I have some Bolex lenses and really want to use on my Canon 6d Mark II or Canon RP. Do you know what adapter i have to use? Thx a lot

[@marcellohutchinson-trujill1237]

Lovely video. I was wondering what issues you were having adapting your 16mm zoom lens to the bmpcc4k? does the adapter you used for the 26mm F1.1 not work? I ask because Im looking to get a cinema zoom to pair with my bmpcc4k and modern cinema zooms are so bulky and much too expensive.

[@vaulthunter3056]

nice footage, audio, and music selection.

[@fabriziopanzella]

AWESOME!!!!! Congrats!!! where i can download the Kodak Portra 400?

[@ricksmits728]

Love the look! I also have a few c-mount lenses but can't adapt them to the pocket 4k. Won't let me focus to infinity. What adapter are you using?

[@maorizzius]

With what kind of film dust effect you used?

[@juancarlosg.zuniga1410]

Great video man! Love the vintage looks :)

[@tyvanharen]

Looks awesome mate! Well done. The Bolex had me drolling.

[@robvillano6164]

you have to set the cameras format selection to 2.5 mode to crop in for those lenses...another words you cant shoot in 4K mode, there's different shooting modes in the menu

[@denoise_]

Great look, wish the lens wasn't $1k+ though :( Any good (cheaper) alternatives?

[@ludekaschenbrenner8025]

Tevidon and Meopta Openar lenses are a very good alternative for a good price. But it has to adapt to the MFT connection, I can do it. See here: altechnologies.cz/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/DSC_0201.jpg

[@marcopervo]

You can still find Bolex camera packages with (3) prime Switar lenses for around $350 US. You don’t need that 25mm version to get great footage.

[@rayzan9561]

This is an RX lens for Bolex. It is only meant to be used in Bolex Reflex cameras and is optically adjusted for that. Otherwise, it yields poor results.

[@bluefilmsltd]

What C mount lenses would you suggest for Pocket 4k?

[@lumbum_]

Do you have any samples of shooting on the H16 SBM?

[@masaru_Videographer]

Great Lens! Nice16mm look!!

[@Tomasmmarzan]

This is so cool!

[@ItsMeLos]

Try super 16 lenses 👍

[@psychedelicjesusrecords3882]

Have you tried the update that allows for super16mm?

[@ludekaschenbrenner8025]

I use it, it's great for lenses from 16mm cameras

[@jacopoabbruscato9271]

I normally dislike film emulations. I'd rather go for the real thing, and for photography I do. But for video personal projects film is just too expensive to justify. So this solution looks actually good.

[@chanderprakash3159]

Same here

[@irasumah]

Me: wow this is rlly cool, I might finally have a chance on emulating 16mm Him: this lens goes for about 1000 on eBay.

[@JonasStuart]

Nice. Also, good seeing BTS on you grading - totally different take to how I do it °¬)

[@Kenosoner]

sorry but no. keep it amateur. i've been shooting super 8 and 16mm for 10 years. it is not 16mm because all the over exposure you would make with this shit just looks awful. With a real 16mm thats a magical thing which never happens on film. Im pretty tired of people faking analog film with digital gear. film is not better than digital though. all have its cons and pros.
