I've been experimenting with my vintage Kern Switar 26mm F1.1 lens on the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K. The MFT lens mount offers a unique variety of vintage lenses for the camera. I hope to review this combination soon.
The 16mm sensor size is somewhat similar to the MFT sensor of the pocket 4K camera. Using C mount lenses and the 4:3 pillboxes, I think a very interesting look is achieved on the BMPCC4K, a close match to true super 16mm film.
In order to get this look, I had to mount a few filters on the lens including an IR Cut, ND Filter and also a Black Pro Mist ¼ to help with the highlights and contrast. This was all shot in UHD Raw 8:1, edited and graded in Da Vinci Resolve.
Look forward to hearing your thoughts on the combination.
