BMPCC 6K PRO & BMPCC 4K | My favourite lenses

This video is about my favourite lenses for the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K Pro. Having said that, you can also use these lenses with the BMPCC 6K and the BMPCC 4K with a speed booster. All of these lenses are photography lenses as I feel that most people working with the Blackmagic cameras are going to come from the DSLR background rather than cinema lens background. I hope you enjoy the video.

If I remember correctly, French film maker Kendy Ty did a lot of his personal projects with just the Sigma 30mm f1.4 and an aps-c Canon DSLR. Through an excellent understanding of lighting, composition, colour grading and editing, he was able to make this seemingly low grade combination produce compelling short films, commercials and mini docs. He's gone on to shoot high end commercials with the Alexa Mini, but his ability to make superb quality projects with the Sigma 30mm was his foundation.

Awesome video, I picked up the Sigma 24mm Art f1.4 for 475 pounds used, in pristine condition, with the box, accessories and purchase slip. It has incredible optical performance, just no weather sealing. I pair it with my pocket 4K and eos r for stills, it is an absolute favourite of mine.

Totally agree with you, 24mm on Super35 is so beautiful and natural

Thanks for the video: A no-nonsense review of lenses for the BMPCC. Thumbs up!

I like the Sigma 8-16mm. I don’t think it’s made anymore but such a gem especially since it’s not a fisheye lens and it’s insane that when paired with a focal reducer, it loses the variable stop and becomes a constant f4! Not the fastest lens, but that focal length is very welcomed.

I have the canon 35mm L. Its my favorite full frame lens.

If the 24 is anything like it, which it probably is, I can see why you love it.

I should probably start looking for one used in local shops.

If someone welded the Sigma 18–35 onto my BM6K I'd be like "yeah, cool". 
It’s has your 30 in there.
I like the Tamron 45 with its stabilisation, but it doesn't stay on long.

Please could you send me a link to buy Len's for my 6k Blackmagic pro

Hey i want to make big vloges and cinematic videos i am getting in love with the sirui 24mm and i am thinking which one should i buy sirui 24mm or sigma 8-16 mm which one should i get or any recommendation from you btw good video

[pglazzari]

I like your videos, and your humor. What light kit do you use most of the time?

[iinstigator]

do i need the Tamron 17-55mm for canon ( there is a version for sony and nikon aswell ) to use it with the pocket 4k ? and do i need any adapter to run it ? thanks for the video

[nordweststudio]

Thanks for the video, it is nice content :) I just bought the Tamron 17-50mm with VC but the VC is not working on my 6k Pro. When I switch the VC on there is no sound at all and no effect on the image. It is working on my other camera which is weird. What about you the Tamron and the 6k Pro ? Thanks by advance !

[Thedudemannn]

Fantastic collection! Hey Chris, do you think the BMPCC 4k kitted up w/ all the bells and whistles is a better buy than the 6k pro ? I'm running a canon eos mk3 and am trying to decide which is a better 'B' cam?

[LoiselsPhotography]

What are your thoughts on speed boosters to use F and EF mounts?

[osah]

Sir, thanks for posting great content! I’m curious about that sweet wooden side handle on your pocket cam 26 seconds into the video! 🙏🏾🙂

[alessandrooliveira]

I've been after this side handle for a long time.
where did you get it?

[TheGriffinDoor]

Why no Zeiss lens? You can pick up a Contax Zeiss for a low price many places. I also use other brands but there is no lens I love more than my zeiss lenses. Even DDR made Jena Zeiss is really excellently made and in my view, far better than many current brand names. It’s always a matter of preference, but if you haven’t tried it, I strongly reccomend them. Of course the old lenses did not have IS but no cinematographer (I mean pro ones) never would use a telephoto or zoom without a sturdy tripod. So for me that discussion is dod. Tripods are great tools if you know how to use them, and with wide shots you can always get a fairly stable shot with gimbals etc. I have nothing against modern lenses, but the new Zeiss/Leitz lenses are too expensive for my use and thus the classic Zeiss lenses are a superb option.

Sigma 24mm 1.4 Art is better. Cheaper and sharper.

[balisbest]

I have this tokina lens and love the focal length but do you also get a super washed out image when light hits the lens? Maybe its just mine thats sucks 😅
