Re: [Avid-L2] BM Cinema Camera

Rokinon Cine lenses, except, I think Lance's interview is a 50mm canon 1.8 plastic lens- great lens for $115.

>> We're using it. Love the picture, not so much the ergonomics. I agree that the screen is too shiny, and the logging/metadata entry mode is kind useless- would be great if you could access it through an iOS or android device, but... you have to type on the screen, which I'll never take the time to do. The image is also VERY sharp- almost as if there were detail enhancement, which there isn't. Like, TOO sharp. I'm going to add a mattebox and some filtering to my slowly evolving kit very soon. Kinda wish it had OLPF, but it doesn't. Rolling shutter for sure, but that doesn't bother me much so far.

The ungraded color rendition is much more filmic than sony-video-ish, so that might bother some people. There was also a problem with the onboard audio, but I think it's been fixed in the latest release. I'm not sure as I haven't recorded audio since that update.
