My beat, battered and heavily scratched Helios 44-2 that I picked up for £4.99 produces an incredible image on the Pocket that made me sell my Sigma 50-100
@mercer the falloff on the 25mm looks fantastic
Do NPF batteries/plates provide enough volts to power the camera through the external power port? I remember reading in the manual that it requires more than using an internal dummy battery. I would give it a check to make sure we're not missing anything.

This £20 SD Card works for DCI 25p Q5/12:1... not bad
I will be able to run all day with the 500GB T5
i've removed mine. You can just do it by hand my pulling as close to the base of the port cover near the hole as possible. It takes a while but eventually they will pop out. They can also be reinstalled but that took me a while also.
Yeah that was my first impression but for £85 it was worth a punt. Its going on its first shoot tomorrow, I've alerted the sound guy already... will report back on what he says!
Meike 25mm Cine in action, there a full set coming soon. Some seem to think they are Veydra clones.
