reason I’m thinking c mount is it’s for a BMPCC, which is almost exactly 2/3" – and cctv lenses typically have really visible flare CoC (and they’re really cheap)
Honestly, there is nothing better than 35mm / full frame if you want to fiddle around with weird lenses like lensbaby, petzval and stuff like that. Also just the amount of available high quality manual options from Nikon, Canon, Leica, Voigtländer, Minolta, Olympus, Pentax, Contax, Zeiss, Fuji… all the russion stuff and cheaper third party glass…
BMPCC doesn’t really have any killer feature. Or am I wrong?
main appeal of the bmpcc was the image quality you could get with it in 2014
DSLRs have wholesale caught up in every category other than color depth and dynamic range since then, but it’s still a really nice B camera imo. Also, you can get full frame adapters that work with modern lenses with autofocus if you want.
You can mess around with Bolex Cine 16, Super 8, CCTV, CS and a ton of other small format glass that, to my knowledge wont focus or heavily vignettes to the point of being completely unuseable for video on larger sensors.
C mount has 90+ years of glass, so plenty of variety there.
the lack of raw support or even compressed log (for video) on inexpensive DSLRs makes it totally valid even now imo (you can find them used for 500 or less a lot of the time, wouldn’t get another one at MSRP)
being able to import footage and have the metadata automatically matched to an ACES profile when you’re grading in a multicam setup is a godsend.
yep. granted even cheap industrial lenses are mostly 2mp+ these days
and bolex cine/super 16 pro lenses are usually pretty great
Bought the Amazon Basics Portable Photo Studio. Trying to see if I can get into product photography to earn some extra cash.
You never really notice how many little pubes are floating around in the air until you start taking photos with a plain white background. Luckily it’s super easy to spot heal.
