SLR Magic 10mm/2.1 – First day with a BMPCC from framearts on Vimeo.

Framearts posted that test video shot on the new SLR magic 10mm T/2.1 MFT lens:

For my first test video i chose the BMPCC because first of all i wanted to try out the filmic quality of the lense. Test for sharpness i will do with my GH4.
It is a very solid lense and feels really good in the hand. Focus and iris are working really smooth. I see nearly no CA and the distortion is on a minimum. I really like the the colors, also the skin tones look really good. So for me, just my first conclusion is, that it is a very good lense for a filmic look and it seems to be a nice combination with the BMPCC.
I also was looking how good you can shoot run and gun with no IS on the BMPCC with that lense. As you can see, when you have time and don´t stress too much it´s ok, although not perfect at all. But i guess when you take a rig it´s much better and for sure an option. So for filmic purposes yes, but if you do documentary shooting and don´t want to be recognized, for me, the 12-35 Panny lense with its superb OIS is the only option.
The Variable ND filter feels very solid, fits perfectly on the lense and has a very smooth setting. Just the stick for turning the filter could be a little bit smaller.

How does Panasonic see the future mirrorless market? At an event in Japan Panasonic projected that slide showing that by end of 2016 mirrorless cameras should increase up to 34% of the overall system camera market (via MirrorlessRumors). DSLR will still keep 66% of the market.

One more news: Cipa published the August shipment data and you can see the nice graphs as usual at Personal-View. There is no big news but mirrorless keeps growing slowly.
