You easily find out the honest company with respect to its customers: every declared parameter in the camera specification must be confirmed by a document confirming the declared parameters. This can be the results of production tests, any documents, test images, which justifies the declared characteristics. The company should be responsible for its words and give this information to the user before selling the camera.

It is sad but there is no waveform in the BMPCC4K. It would be nice to have it to be able to select accurate WB with a grey card.

Here is a comparison of YT vs Vimeo compression. It seems that diffusion filters can help to get less compression artefacts by masking small details in the image that will still be lost.

I'm glad that in the end SB 0.64x works fine with the BMP4K. Crop 1.21 gives us almost a full frame (minus soft dark corners of the lens).

The author of this video "Bubble Gum" answered that he didn't use any IR CUT filters. Does it mean that there is not IR pollution in the BMP4K and we don't need IR CUT filters anymore?

A comment from vimeo that explains a possible reason of the clipped highlights in this video:

Finally, a soft organic picture, but the sun, glare looks overdone. We need to carefully select the plot and shooting parameters to fit into the DR.

Camera: BMPCC Lens: Tokina 28-70mm f/2.8 + Metabones SpeedBooster XL 0.64 (Nikon F) Filters: B+W UV-IR Cut, Haida PROII-S Variable ND, Tiffen Black Pro-Mist 1/4 ProRes HQ, Impulz LUT BMDFilm Kodak Vis3 50D 5203 (DP) FC

I compared my Tokina 28-70mm f/2.8 with Nikon Ai-s 28mm f/2 at 28mm and Tokina was sharper at all stops. On the picture below (Angenieux 70-210) you can see CA (watch at legs), the same CA have Tokina 28-70. But i prefer to call this look as part of the Angie's character.

It would be nice to save stills not only as DNG but as PNG with baked LUT and chosen aspect ratio. Tokina 28-70 f/2.6-2.8, Tokina 28-70 f/2.8 with screw in hood (1st ver., on the attached picture) and with bayonet hood (2nd ver.), all with 77mm filter thread. Avoid 72mm version (Tokina Pro SV).

A question to Captain Hook. Do we need to purchase for the BMPCC4K a protective glass for its 5" display? Or is it already installed on the factory?

Old Pocket.

It's still early to draw conclusions, but from the first BMPCC4K shoot I expected more ... Here's another video for you to compare with GH5s.

Comparing IQ of the Pocket4K and Terra4K you should pay attention to lenses. He used in this review hi quality glass. I'm sure Pocket 4K will be good too with Leica R's

Cover area comparison of BMPCC4K with and without speed booster 0.64x.

In this video you can compare Sigma 18-35 and Tokina 28-70. Shot with Ursa Mini 4.6K. Tokina is very filmic (starts at 2:36).

I'm going to use with the new Pocket 4K vintage full frame manual lenses with Metabones Speed Booster XL 0.64x (Nikon to M4/3). 1. Tokina 28-70 f/2.8, with BMPCC4K (crop 1.9) and 0.64x booster it covers 34-85mm f/1.8. 2. Leica Summicron-R 50mm f/2. 3. And I would like to get Angenieux 70-210mm f/3.5.

I understand their answer as they don't know exactly if their m4/3 0.64x XL Booster will work with the BMPCC 4K because they don't have a camera at the moment to make a test and don't know its specs to develop a new specific model of their Speed Booster for BMPCC 4K. I quote Brian's words (designer of Speed Booster) from the BMCuser forum (04-13-2018): BMPCC 4K have a sensor's diagonal 21.44mm. And from the Brian's words to make it clear: Metabones 0.58x BMPCC Speed Booster was designed to cover a 14.6mm. Metabones 0.64x BMCC Speed Booster was designed to cover a 18.2mm. Metabones M4/3 Speed Booster XL 0.64x was designed to cover a 21.63mm.
