Shooting Formula 1 at the Italian Grand Prix with the legendary Canon 200mm F1.8 and Blackmagic Pocket 6K

While that lens is impressive, if I were doing editorial stills at an event like that, practicality would probably cause me to choose some sort of 70-200 2.8. the framing control of a solid zoom seems like I'd get more shots. I'd gran that 200 for fashion or editorial portraits every time though...

And the NX1. Damn, 6 years on and it's still kickass. The tiny 16-50 kit zoom (not the bigger "S") makes for a monster gimbal rig with reliable AF. You can literally run around a location with that thing and nail 95% of your shots. I do find the 8 bit pretty limiting though, and the low-light performance isn't stellar. There's a Z6 in my future. We'll see if I keep it though!

The SD card used in the Pocket 6K is not one approved by Blackmagic so I'm not at all surprised it didn't work too well. Perhaps check the approved media list on the BMD site next time or maybe even read the manual. https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/support/faq/59026
