Even if the sensor has PDAF as an option, there's no guarantee that they bought a variant of it that has it enabled. Someone somewhere else mentioned that it's the same sensor as is used in the S1H which has autofocus, but not PDAF. Any BMD didn't say that they were giving their cameras PDAF that I saw - just continuous AF. It's entirely possible that they're rolling out contrast-based AF across the board. The fact that Petty said it would only work with L-mount lenses since they give distance information would suggest PDAF, though. Petty did strongly imply, however, that it would be coming to other cameras in time - he made some comment about how it was really important for large format sensors. Only time will tell, though - for now, Focus Pro gives me something like decent AF, though with all of the annoyances that come with doing focus based on a second camera that sits under the other camera. -

Same as I said about the UC12k, its big and heavy, and eats batteries. Used Alexa classics are so cheap, I'd rephrase and say that I'd get a Pyxis over an Alexa because cost isn't an issue. -
Mmm…In terms of AF, it was only actually stated to be coming for the Cine 6K and then by extension, when that firmware is out of beta, for the PYXIS 6K. I’m wondering if a misguided conclusion has been leapt to here by me that it will come to the PYXIS 12K. The other two share the same Sony sensor and it’s one we know to have PDAF capabilities because it’s used in a number of other cameras. The 12K sensor though is all their own work so I don’t know if it actually does? -
Exactly, the worst part of the P4K is the body, one of the best parts of the OG is the body. With a different comparison, I saw a video today of the BMMCC6K held up next to the Pyxis and I couldn't believe how big the FF 6K is... it looks bigger than a 1DX and other than form factor, not much smaller than the Pyxis. The Pyxis seems like the obvious choice between the two. I sure do, that's one thing I do know. Ha, I know that even more. I feel like there are so many good cameras out now that you almost can't go wrong, but like always, the best camera is right around the corner and we're just in a betweener stage. Maybe you just need the Z mount Komodo X... problem solved. Canon should just buy BM, and then I can hate them both together. -
There’s dumb L mount adapters for most legacy mounts so just use electrical tape over the PYXIS end contacts to be on the safe side.
