BMPCC4K | Meike 25mm T2.2 | Cinema lens on the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K

Finally a proper cinema lens. Let me know if you have any questions. I will do a review very shortly as well so stay tuned :). Cheers, Flo

What was your export settings to get the more rectangle look at the end instead of the generic box shape dimension?

[@Jake_203]

i'm new to the film world. If i use a Meike 25mm on the Pocket 4k, do i have a focal length of 50mm, because of the crop factor?

[@sonnybrown4758]

So this is like a 50 on a full frame or a 30 on a crop sensor, right? Looks really nice to me.

[@OfTwoLands]

Yeah pretty much :). Thanks !!

[@dalestokes2789]

I'm about to order the BMPCC4k and one of the things I have been struggling with is what lens to get it. I definitely wanted a Prime Cine lens but wasn't sure what to get. I have been eyeing the SLR Magic T/0.95 25mm but I'll wait until I can hear your review of this lens before making a choice. My question would be how sharp is the lens wide open at T/2.2? That was the primary reason for me thinking about the SLR Magic lens is that while soft wide open, it is sharp from 1.2 and up.

[@OfTwoLands]

Originally I had the Veydra lenses in mind then the SLR Magic since I like their lenses and the 25mm looked great. But then when Meike announced theirs I had to get one. The price is too good too. I found it to be sharp but not overly sharp wide open. I like soft lenses anyway but this one felt just right. Not too soft not too sharp. The built is really nice too and it was really fun to use.

[@rawlife3575]

Great work.. 👏👏

[@OfTwoLands]

Thanks !!

[@hawaiirealmedia5610]

This looks really nice. Although the lens is not really that sharp. For instance at 1:23 and 1:45, the distant buildings look a bit blurry with the shadows looking a bit muddy. I have a Super Takumar 50 (or 55mm) that looks similar but it cleaner, but retains a dreamy look. I use it on BMPCC4k. The Super Takumar is under $100 when used, but it looks, in some ways, even nicer than my new Panasonic 12-35mm. The Takumar is not that sharp either, but it just looks pretty all the time.

[@OfTwoLands]

Thanks !! KZbin compression doesn't help and I was probable shooting wide open but yes I know what you mean.I have heard great things about the Takumar and almost got one a few months ago and ended up with FD lenses since i own a canon 35mm film camera :)

[@hawaiirealmedia5610]

[@ZJProductionHK]

Was it slow moded?

[@morgondickerson2086]

Gorgeous video, thanks again for all you do. You own a c200, correct? Think I saw one on your kit site... Thoughts on how the images compare between your bmpcc4k and the c200? I know usability is completely different for both, but I'd love your opinion on the images you get out of them.

[@OfTwoLands]

Thank you for watching !! And yes I do own a C200 as well. I was actually thinking of doing a video on that. I think they match up quite nicely and have used the Pocket as B cam for certain projects where the C200 was the A cam. I use the Canon for documentary work and interview etc and keep the Pocket for travel, gimbal work and video licensing. I would say the differences are mostly about the specs and type of camera more than the image. I do love the look of Super 35 sensor on the C200. Hope this answers your question a bit.

[@tonythecameraguy9592]

Nice. Is there any crop on this lens on the BMP4K if you're not using a speed booster?

[@OfTwoLands]

Thanks !! The crop is x1.9, which is standard for MFT (usually 2x i think).

[@danbowers2561]

Simply breathtaking! I might very well purchase this lens but would I need an adapter for the bmcc4k?

[@alexblackburnproducer]

Did you crop for 2:35.1 or is it a different aspect ratio?

[@dalestokes2789]

Are you thinking about upgrading to the new Pocket 6k?

[@OfTwoLands]

Haha man I’m so torn. I don’t know what to do !! I own a lot of EF lenses and a C200 so it would make sense. But I love the bmpcc4k..

[@iamjacobmartin]

Great footage. If you had to choose a starter lens for your pocket 4k, would you go for this or the lumix 12-35?

[@OfTwoLands]

Thank you !! I would still pick the 12-35. More versatile and it has IS as well. Plus it is also an active lens so it ‘talks’ to the camera.

[@i_am_groot4511]

Yes the 12-35 is very versatile I agree. The depth of field is not very shallow, so get a vintage m42 like a takumar to go with it and a m42 to m4t adapter, don’t need speedbooster. I did a parkour video mostly all on the 12-35. But will make the 4K version soon with the vintage also. 12-35 very good all round master and like two lands said it has the stabilisation. Must have lens for this camera!

[@Ben-id1tc]

You may have just sold me on this lens. Did you stabilize your footage at all in post or is it pretty much as shot?

Hey man, great work! Can I ask you what would be the conversion in the Pocket 4K with this lens in terms of field of view?

[@lrave17]

Just KarthiK Oh I thought the pocket 4K crop factor does matter here but good to know!

[@jorgedesilva]

You still need to apply crop factor of course: 25mm x1.9 (bmpcc4k crop) = 47.5mm FOV equivalente... but a 25mm is always a 25mm just like any lens length, it doesn’t change because of the crop factors. 😉

[@ozzmanzz]

Thanks for posting, I’m really tempted to get this lens after seeing this. As you are shooting in Australia is there a reason why you shot at 60 instead of 50? (which would have avoided the strobing in the phone box) I only ask because I have the same camera and haven’t done any slow motion yet and was wondering if there are any advantages shooting at 60 over 50?

[@OfTwoLands]

Thanks !! I actually shoot 60 to get that extra bit which helps when slowing it down and also since I do a lot of footage licensing I usually shoot personal stuff on 60 and 23.98 since they are the format they need :). For interview or when lights are involved in Australia I shoot in 25/50 👍

[@ozzmanzz]

Makes sense. Thanks for the quick reply.

[@matthewbarber2330]

would you recommend investing in canon fd lenses or a sigma 18-35

[@OfTwoLands]

They are both different options. FD lenses will give you a specific look but the Sigma (with adapter) will give you versatility and maybe a better shooting experience due to the lens' built and focal range.

[@TheWorldofPierre]

Hello mate, this is the lens I am about to get but I am not sure where to buy it in Australia/Sydney. Did you get in on Amazon? If yes which vendor. Thanks!

[@sakarimakela5094]

Beautiful film, as always from you! :) It might be just me, but camera-wise I feel the new BMPCC 4K does not produce as ”soulful”, ”filmlike” or organic look as the original BMPCC. The old one had extraordinarily emotional color science, almost as with Arri Alexa series of cameras. Of course a lot is made in grading phase, but still - have others noticed this kind of more flat and soul-less look from the 4K version? Almost as if shot with Sony cameras.

[@OfTwoLands]

Thank you !! It definitely doesn’t have the look of the original pocket but i wouldn’t say like Sony cameras haha. It’s more digital in some way but still very cinematic and ‘creamy’. With grading and a bit of grain you can get pretty close to the original pocket and in 4K.

[@Guitarsdetectors]

I don’t agree with what you are you talking about. The original BMPCC was noisier than monkey sex.
