garypayton Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 I think we should start this thread even though the camera is not out yet. I really need suggestions about wide angle lenses, the crop is probably the biggest issue about this camera. Andrew : is the Tokina 11-16mm a good option? What about the Sigma 8-16?

milandirector Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 I was also thinking about Sigma 4.5mm 2.8... Tokina is a necessity for BMC. I m also debating about Sigma 30mm 1.4 VS Samyang 35mm 1.4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Andrew Reid Posted August 27, 2012 Administrators Share Posted August 27, 2012 If you want the wider field of view, the Sigma 8-16 will be the one to get. 8 compared to 11mm on the Blackmagic makes a hell of a lot of difference. 18mm equivalent to 25mm. So one is standard wide and one is ultra wide. If you value the faster aperture more, on the Tokina then that has to be it. Quite a big difference between F2.8 and F4 as well. A shame we can't have both in one lens! Also don't forget the rather lovely Canon EF 10-22mm F3.5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexander Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 12mm f2 will be delicious on the bmc plse let us have a ef m4/3 adapter!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xenogears Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 The Sigma 10-20mm f3.5 sound good too, slower than the Tokina 11-16mm, yes, but has a longer reach. In my case for VFX works the BMC with this Sigma will do just fine, is not the king of the high ISO but i never have to do work without lights so a clean ISO up to 800 is enough for me.

Beanzvision Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Rokinon 24mm t1.5 sounds good to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Impossible. Te EF mount has a much longer distance from lens to sensor than m43, you cannot make the distance shorter with an adapter. An adapter could be possible but it would need lenses to correct the distance, that makes it kinda pointless (quality loss). That's why a m43 mount BMCC is quite a big deal... Now the BMCC supports Image Stabilisation the Tamron 17-50mm 2.8 or 24-70mm 2.8 might be interesting options if you want to work handheld. Samyang is working on a 10mm prime for aps-c-sensors (non fisheye), could be interesting if you don't want/need zoom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galenb Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Another possibility is all the Nikon glass out there. The You can get a Nikon to Canon mount adaptor ring for pretty cheap. I've shot with Nikon glass on a 7D a few times. Not to mention all the legacy lenses that can be converted to Canon EF mount like Minolta, Pentax or Olympus. One lens I've always been on the lookout for is an inexpensive 24mm f/2 or lower... f/1.4 would be dreamy. The issue I always have with the crop sensor on m4/3 is finding and equivalent to my Minolta 58mm f/1.4 @ full frame. Anyone have something like this or know of one that doesn't cost an arm and a leg? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julian Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Bright wide angles don't come cheap, sadly. I think the Samyang / Rokinon 24mm f/1.4 or T1.5 is the cheapest option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beanzvision Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 The glass is quiet good in them (Rokinon). They have rated highly against Zeiss lenses. At the end of the day I doubt anyone would notice the difference. And in saying that, can anyone tell what device or pc/mac was used to reply to this??? Didn't think so....:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Andrew Reid Posted November 20, 2012 Administrators Share Posted November 20, 2012 Samyang 24mm wide angle isn't wide on the Blackmagic, you need a 10,11,12 or 14. I prefer the Samyang 35mm F1.4 it is sharper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milandirector Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 As I m getting MFT mount, I m thinking between Samyang/Rokinon 24mm f1.4 or Voightlander 25mm f0.95. I prefer second one, but it is much more expensive. Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hackerfilms Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Hello all. I now have a BMCC and just purchased the Canon 10-22mm. I have mounted the lens but I can't seem to control the iris using the "fast forward" and "rewind" buttons. I was able to use them with a Tokina lens so I know how the process works. Any thoughts? I am so use to aperture rings this whole new way is driving me crazy. Any help would be appreciated. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GravitateMediaGroup Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 I am a big fan of the sigma 30mm with tiffen variable ND (or any vari ND for that matter) combo. The voight 17.5, sigma 30, and rokinon 85 t1.5 will be my main lenses for the time being. may rent a zeiss compact prime when I finally get the camera to see if it would be worth saving up for. I was very surprised at how filmic the sigma 30 looked with my gh2, and my mouth is watering to test it with the BMCC. I have the rokinon 35mm t 1.5, and 95% of the time I will decide to use the sigma over it. All of these are great lenses, but if I had only one lens to use with the BMCC I would probably go Sigma 30mm (unless I had the choice of some $3000-$50000 lenses) lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richg101 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 need a wide angle? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nikon-Nikkor-6mm-F-2-8-RARE-Lens-Ais-Alexa-Red-Leica-C300-PL-Arri-Cooke-Zeiss-/370706916376?pt=Camera_Lenses&hash=item564fdaa418 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milandirector Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 @ gravitatemediagroup is Sigma 30mm full frame or s35 crop lens? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hackerfilms Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Thanks for the reply. Primes seem not to be a problem having an aperture ring. The issue is more with wide angle zooms. I do a lot of documentary interviews and need to change the focal length without moving the camera physically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
