20$ 70-200mm lens for BMPCC OG (and any mirrorless camera, really)
I bought this 20$ lens out of curiosity and to test would this focal length be usable with OG BMPCC. Turned out it isn't bad at all and I had a lot of fun with this inexpensive glass. Of course, it has some quirks and I will tell you about them in this video.

What would happen if you choose the worst settings on BMPCC OG?
Просмотров 5 тыс.Месяц назад
The best setting for shooting with BMPCC OG are well-established, but what would happen if you choose the worst possible settings that give you the least dynamic range and no room for correction in post? Would this camera still have its magic, or the footage will look like it came from an old camcorder? Let's find out!

Shooting film is absolutely unique experience and I'm glad that I tried it. The only problem that it is very hard to go back to digital now :) I was very worried that I will mess up the exposure or that this film stock will be very difficult to shoot with because of it reversal nature. But turned out it isn't that hard or scary. It requires some skill of course, but nothing extremely complicated.

I love to shoot with OG BMPCC, but usually I did it in barebones configuration and for personal projects. Now I have an idea to use it as a main camera for bigger and more complex shoots. So I put it in the rig and decided to run several tests before going all-in. This sequence is one of them.

    60Mbs per second? R U Serious. Talk about serious bloat. I don't need that kind of bloat. Most of my 1080p music videos after fully rendered and uploaded to youtube... the entire video of 2 minutes... takes 60MBs. These camera reviewers need to focus more on 1080p, because it's what most everybody on the internet is going to upload to RUclips. Can you upload higher resolutions? Sure. Is anybody going to watch anything higher than 360p on their smart phone over a cellular connection. No. 2K or 4K? Forget it. 99.99% of people are not shooting to make a film to go in an IMAX movie theatre. I've made 500 video uploads to RUclips... and I've never color graded a single one, and I have no particular interest in starting. My cheap goodwill monitors aren't even color calibrated. That's the street reality.

    This matches my experience back in the day. LT was compact but imperceptibly lossless compared to HQ for simple grades. However, a real torture test would have been to turn the ISO up to 1600, because that brings more noise into the mid-tones and shadows. The proxy codec would fail much worse, because that noise becomes extra details that it can't handle. LT still works ok though.

    • @axelfoley133
      @axelfoley133 Месяц назад

      On RAW, no difference. But on pro-res, it will dictate which color profile gets saved to the video. Film saves the log profile for post-production grading. Looks grey and bland but you can grade however you want. Video saves the Rec709, which is more usable without editing (has decent contrast and saturation), but has less room to play and tweak.

    • @iamlookingatyouthroughtheglass
      @iamlookingatyouthroughtheglass Месяц назад

      Yes, to simplify what @axelfoley133 said - Film is a Log profile, flat and desaturated giving you the most range and flexibility in post. Video is graded, meant for delivery straight out of camera or with as little tweaking as possible. In RAW you have no other options, but to shoot with Film profile. In ProRes you can choose.

    This lens is supposed to be used in CCTV cameras with tiny sensors (1/2.3"), larger sensor like APSC result in a lack of sharpness on the periphery as expected. But there is an upgraded and more expensive version of these lenses for APSC cameras, You should try it. I think this lens should work fine in systems like pentax Q that I'd like to tested.

    • @truefilm6991
      @truefilm6991 11 месяцев назад

      @@iamlookingatyouthroughtheglass Don't ask me how many times I messed up focus, even though it looked pin sharp in the view finder and everything (ground glass, back focus) was correctly aligned. At f/1.5 it must have looked very dark in the viewfinder. In a feature film with some kind of budget you have time to tape-measure focus in smaller spaces. No such luck with run and gun documentary style filming. Oh - and now with great 4K scans you can clearly see how many times focus is off even in top notch feature films. It's mostly close-ups with very shallow DoF where the actor didn't hit the mark correctly and for example the ears are in focus, but not the eyes, or worse: a foreground or background object is in focus. I guess sometimes the nervous director made a last minute change on the fly and the camera operator and focus puller were unable to keep track.

      @truefilm6991 11 месяцев назад

      Very likely since you don't have in-camera light metering and no monitor to show the final result. You can use a digital camera to measure reflected light or a classic incidental light meter for incoming light (so a white wall for example stays white and will not turn gray). 0:24 - these kind of shots require the most work. You have a darker interior and a very bright exterior. If you measure for the interior (where your attention is), the exterior will blow completely, so you'll have to underexpose a bit.

      @@DethronerX exactly. It's basically: with film you are fully aware of the lighting and the latitude of your film, including grain structure and overall texture - with digital you rely a lot on software. Lenses and framing are the same of course, except perhaps that you can have a lot of grids and lines overlaid in a digital camera viewfinder/monitor. I doubt that this leads to much better results. The great masters came up with absolutely pristine camera work using old rack-over Mitchell cameras in the 1930s. And yeah, it must hurt going back to digital. Film is simply beautiful.

      Hi! Unfortunately not. Even if you manage to do some sort of DIY adapter, the lens will be too far from the sensor (because of the mirror between them). So it only will work as a macro lens, focusing on objects maximum couple of centimeters away. But it is possible to adapt this lens to EOS M and R series cameras

      @iamlookingatyouthroughtheglass Год назад

      Hi! Basically there are two types of adapters to put EF glass on MFT cameras. One has a lens and usually called "speedbooster", because it makes image one stop brighter and also gives you wider field of view (for example one from Metabones - www.metabones.com/products/details/mb_spef-m43-bm1). And the second type is just an adapter, so basically a barrel with contact points (like this one - www.metabones.com/products/details/mb_ef-m43-bt2). It has no glass in its construction, hence I called it "glassless".
