Australian DP John Brawley, who has been closely involved with the development of the Blackmagic cinema camera, has posted some persuasive footage shot with the upcoming M4/3 version of that camera. He shot the test footage handheld with a Voigtlander 17.5mm f0.95 and a SLR Magic 12mm T1.6 lens. To me, the M4/3 version of the camera makes far more sense than the EF mounted one – mainly because you can use excellent fixed focal length lenses like Voigtlander’s 17.5mm and 25mm f0.95 to get shallow depth of field. Adapters to Nikon, Canon FD, Sony Alpha, Leica M and of course PL mount will open up the available range of lenses tremendously, but sadly because of the lack of an electronic M4/3 mount some other popular M4/3 lenses won’t be very usable. Brawley notes that all the shots were done in RAW and then colour graded with a single node (ie – not heavily).
