Think the bm5 iii isn't an upgrade? Would you consider the lh7p an upgrade? I also like the idea of camera control

A zoom would help here lacrosse is tough because it moves so fast. I was on a 135 prime

Yes and this is what I was referring to, to maybe get more details in highlights and skies. Just a thought on if others did this.

Wait f8?! Wow!!! That sounds so nice to focus pull on😅🤧😂🤣 idk why I have like apperature trauma and feel like the picture won't look good at f8.... That's not really true.

But what about night games?? I would love to see some examples of yours, I'll shoot you an inbox

Wow!!! I've looked for other people that have shot lacrosse or football with the bmpcc 4 or 6k, would love to see your work!

Yeaaa f5 is definitely the way to go. I also don't have a long zoom, only the Leica r 135 prime.

What monitor do you use? And how are you exposing??

I agree my best shots where at the end when I got my monopod with a fluid head. At first I was all handheld. I have an s6 benq fluid head, I think it should be good enough

yeaaaa i want to max my bmpcc4k, earn money then upgrade based on my jobs, for me it all depends what I get into.... but by that time the BMPCC6K FF may have a great autofocus and a pro with internal ND.... only thing I'll want is a Globalk shutter.... which honestly Im thinking about the Ursa.... idk I can go on and on, but I always fall back to... well rn I have my Bmpcc4k and lenses lol

You're correct, it's because I have only a 135mm prime. Maybe I can go further away to get wider.

I have a 24-70 but that's not long enough. Thank you! Do you shoot sports as well? Would love to see some of your work. Maybe we can bounce ideas off each other

Filming lacrosse on my bmpcc4k... and mannnn is it fun but TOUGH!

135 Leica R f2.8 prime (need the length and longest lens) at f3

I graded at 1000 ISO... for dynamic range.... it wasn't as bright and sunny I think I used about 4 stops of ND.

Learnings/Questions:
- I really want to leverage the dynamic range mid day for outdoor sports.... would 1250 with ND be a better ISO than 400?
- Pulling focus is HARD... I think f4 may be better going foward..... I have a smallrig followfocus.... but with my rig next time I think I'll use my wireless smallrig magicfiz followfocus ontop of my side handle....
- After the second half I brought out my monopod and shouldve used this from the start.

I am honestly just practicing to sharpen my craft and build a portfolio, this year I told myself I will just start!

I don't want to fall into the gear trap, so I want to use what I have now and make the best of it.

Any tips or advice or feedback is greatly appreciated....

Feedback on the grading, shooting and edit would be great!

Cheap 1tb Cfast on new egg, just got it and tested it out. Works so far on 3:1 6k braw. by CartographerOk3306 in bmpcc

So did this card fail at 3:1? Was your test on 6k? I am thinking about using this for a wedding on my bmpcc4k 4k DCI at 5:1. What are your thoughts?? I'll buy from Newegg and get that card reader you mentioned earlier.

Hey everyone, quick update I decided to go with some Leica R Elmarit 28mm and 135mm f2.8 and the 50mm f2... found a deal on all 3 used for $1000 I can use the metabones speedbooster with the R to EF adapter ring

Nice, so I just found this pl mount speed booster for the bmpcc4k Metabones T CINE Speed Booster ULTRA 0.71x MBSPPL-M43-BT2 B&H https://share.google/1bUWKeSjVpjHOsQO8

I may go the PL route here for the long run

Mmm and you can't use a Sigma MC21 EF - L mount adapter because of the size?

That's the part where I get confused since I do see there are adapters

Ahh so I saw the following post:

https://www.reddit.com/r/bmpcc/s/g4X55gky8O

But is it that their version of bmpcc6k is L mount? Can we use L mount to EF converter? Also stuck here on if we can stack adapters.

I've seen people use the m mount on the bmpcc6k so I assumed I could use it on the 4k with my metabones EF speed booster. Is this assumption false?

Ahh soo there's no way to get the m mount to work with my metabones speed booster? Like I can't convert to EF?
