Review: Perfect MFT Cinema Lens for BMPCC4K/6K, BMPCC, BMMCC and MFT Cameras! - When I opened the box, I was surprised by the size. I thought that it was going to be huge but it was very compact. I'm used to using a Metabones 0.71x with Sigma Art Series and Panasonic MFT photography lenses. I wanted to buy native cinema lenses because I believe that the extra glass from the Metabones effects the image quality of my EF lens. The focus by wire from the Panasonic lenses stops me from using gimbals and follow focus systems. When I put this lens on my BMPCC4K for the first time, I was amazed by the sharpness of this lens. Wide open at T/2.2 creates a good, shallow depth of field. The sweet spot for this lens is T/2.8-T/5.6. This is where the lens is the sharpest. It shines between this range. I'm finally able to use my follow focus systems with my BMPCC4K and BMMCC. I'm going to buy the whole set now! If you have a MFT camera and you're looking for affordable Cinema Lenses, get this lens and the whole set. This is a must buy!
Review: Fantastic Lens with Fantastic Image Quality - $400 each for these lenses is an absolute steal! They are solid aluminum, with very high quality construction. Paired with Tilta Nucleus Nano, this is an amazing lens. I have also purchased the 25mm and 50mm lenses as well, and I plan to own all 6 once the 65mm is released. I have two minor complains: 1. The spacing on the 12mm follow focus teeth are slightly different from the other two lenses. I can still use it just fine witout readjusting the Nucleus N, but I do it anyway to make sure there is 100% contact. 2. The distance markings are not consistent from lens to lens. This lens is labeled .72 ft, where as the 25mm starts with 10". Bonus Info: - Minimum focus distance is .72 ft or 22cm. - Just a side note, in case you were making this consideration, the 12mm lens is not very good for use with a Glide Gear teleprompter. It can see the top as well as the front tablet bracket. My 25mm works fine without any problems.
