Got a 25mm f1.4 c mount security camera lens, that I used on my G7 with some pretty good results, really nice in low light, lots of vignetting, and soft edges, but thats the charm of the lens, and cant beat the price at 26 bucks with the adapter and shipping included. Great demo video, thanks.
The fact that you're shooting on a 4K RAW camera, you can definitely crop in a little to avoid the slight vignetting as well which is good. Ill be testing out some good C mount lenses soon, should be good. Love the 16mm look. Cheers! :)
I'm loving the look of the Cosmicar and the Cooke lenses. They are pretty nice. I'm really considering the Cosmocar because I need a wide angle lens for my original pocket.
There are c mount groups on FB. One of the issues is that Fujinon TV zooms, not all, but some, have too wide a base for the usual C mount adapters. Some have a base ring as do their excellent primes. Removing reveals a T mount, but the issue is flange distance, as infinity focus may be lost, or parfocal ability. This may be a decent opportunity for you? Russiais now the source of cine and TV lenses that have a 27mm screw. Demand for these may not be insubstantial, given the respect for Helios and Volga lenses produced. They may have 100,000 such lenses? An untapped market Thanks for the videos and the adapters!
Wow, that Cosmicar looks fantastic. I'd love to see more footage of it, cropped in to get rid of the vignette. It may totally lose its mojo, but maybe not...
Here's a video I made with it on the original Pocket a couple years ago. My grading skills weren't as great back then, so keep that in mind :) ua-cam.com/video/WeYq1toUthc/v-deo.html
Some 12.5mm lenses badged Cosmicar, Izukar or Soligor will cover m4/3 sensor, but they have a removeable filter ring. Most do not. I have a few of these. Most do not have the removeable filter ring. If you shoot with a bright light to the side, you will see the inside of the filter ring illuminated in your image....
With the Cooke lens I shot in ProRes 422 HQ in Extended video mode--I meant to shoot in film mode but someone switched the settings on me :P And then all I did was some adjustment in Premiere with the Lumetri color tool: -0.3 exposure, +100 contrast, +18 highlights, +25 whites and -18 blacks, +150 saturation.
We included the link to our C-mount adapter in the video description. The lenses we talk about are available on ebay, but the links are constantly changing so you'll have to search by the lens name.
Is there anyway to get them to work on EF mounts? I saw this, ordered for my BMPC 6k pro before realising the flange distance of the 6k makes it too far away - is there an adapter that would bring the lens closer to the sensor without damaging?
Unfortunately not. The Canon EF mount was designed for DSLR cameras, so it has a deep focal flange distance so there's enough space for the mirror to flap up and down without hitting the lens. Why Blackmagic thought it was a good idea to use this mount on a mirrorless cinema camera is beyond me, but the downside is it greatly limits what lenses you can adapt to Pocket 6K EF mount cameras. To get a C-mount lens to focus to infinity, you'd need an adapter that recesses the C lens way into the cavity of the camera, and as far as I know, no one has made an adapter like this. For lenses that you can adapt to the Pocket 6K, check out this video we made: ua-cam.com/video/JnhnNHEhT9w/v-deo.html
Not necessarily. CCTV just stands for closed circuit television, which some C-mount lenses are made specifically for, but all of the C-mount lenses I'm using in this video were made for 16mm movie cameras and not CCTV cameras. Searching "C-mount lens" should be enough. Just stay away from CS mount lenses because they don't work on our adapter.
@@javiator3007 CS lenses have a shorter focal flange distance, so you can mount them on our adapter but nothing will be in focus. You need to get a specialty CS adapter.
@@FotodioxInc Actually the 5mm CS ring is for adapting c mounts to cs cameras. Not for cs lenses to modern digital cams. A cs lens will be a macro and will almost certainly vignette or even clip the image.
Try the Kowa HC series 6mm 1.8 or the Azure 6.5 mm f/2 lenses! Full cover on GH4 in video mode. Amazingly wide and sharp resolution, so think of a filter to soften
Hello. Great tutorial. You mentionned the bmpcc OG, saying the last lens would work better on it (without any vignetting) but the 4k and OG don't have the same sensor (size)? Thx for your help
That's what I meant. The lens works better on the original Pocket HD because the sensor in that camera is smaller, so the lens doesn't vignette on it like it does on the Pocket 4K's larger sensor.
I just purchased a Tokina TV Lens 12.5-75mm f1.8 Macro for my black magic pocket 4k. First time trying a c mount lens. I knew there would be a vignette but I'm basically getting a full circle in the middle of my frame. Even zooming in doesn't do anything. Is this just due to the type of lens I'm using/adapter/ or camera? Is there any way to reduce the vignette outside of post? And if removing it by zooming into the footage in post how much quality in the footage should I expect to lose. Any help would be appreciated
Unfortunately those TV lenses were made for video sensors even smaller than a strip of 16mm film, so unlike c-mounts made for 16mm motion picture cameras, they will heavily vignette on an MFT sensor. I'd recommend experimenting with shooting in 4K and cropping in to HD resolution. That's going to be your only real option.
@@FotodioxInc thank you. So one thing that helped us if I went into the camera and selected HD then the vignette completely disappears, on 2k there is just a slight amount on the sides but barely. Someone also suggested that you could use a 2x teleconverter and this should also help
@@oneone7studios Yes, a 2x could help, but will add softness. Also, as far as I know there are no 2x teleconverters for C-mount to MFT, but maybe you could find a vintage C-mount one and mount it between the lens and adapter?
@@FotodioxInc I have two lenses that just need a quarter of a mm more depth into the camera to get inifinity on a Micro Cinema camera. There's room in the housing. Is there anyone at Fotodiox I could commission for a custom adapter?
Excellent indeed. Do you folks have anything for C-mount lenses on BMP6k Pro (super 35) I have 3 C mount lenses on Bolex h16 and would love to use them on digital before I shoot on film, just to know their look
Unfortunately you can't mount C-mount lenses on the BMPCC 6K because the camera's Canon EF mount has a focal flange distance that's deeper than a C-mount's focal flange distance. We do make a C-mount to Canon EF mount adapter, but it's only for macro focus work, because the C-mount, mounted so far away from the sensor, will only be able to macro focus. It's a real shame that Blackmagic went with a DSLR mount for their mirrorless camera, because it limits how many kinds of lenses you can adapt to it.
@@FotodioxInc would BMP6 be better off with RF or PL. You mean C mount lenses may work correctly on EOS M, i have it just to use Magic Lantern, waiting to install. It's where i adapted a fast CCTV lens. Thanks
@@DethronerX The BMP6 would be better off with any mirrorless mount. As it is, it has a DSLR lens mount, which makes it hard to adapt many lenses to. C-mount lenses do work well on eos m cameras.
@@FotodioxInc yeah they're good on APSC but they vignette and i don't have a m4/3, but i don't mind cropping, because im not shooting 2k,4k, im still at 1080p 😂😂 I bought a few old lenses and once i list the required adapters, ill order them from your website. Speaking of BMP, they were going to announce something but I haven't checked if they did. If it's about the mount, it would be cool. How do you get a mirrorless mount, if the flange distance is not closer because of the 3 NDs and what's the mount on the classic C500 Mii, because that's one camera ive wanted for years but too expensive to reach
This video sold me on a black magic, but if I purchase the 6k am I able to use c mount lenses on it with an adapter or is the censor too big for me to get anything close to this?
Unfortunately not, since the Canon EF mount is too deep for adapting C-mount lenses to it. We do offer a C-mount to EF adapter, but it only works for macro photography since it can't get the lens close enough to the sensor to focus to infinity.
It looks like that lens even vignettes slighting on the original BMPCC HD camera, which had a smaller super 16 sized sensor, so you'll get a lot more vignette on the Pocket 4K, which has a larger Micro 4/3 sensor.
We do offer a C-mount to Canon EF adapter if you're going to be using the EF mount version of the URSA Mini Pro, but unfortunately this adapter is for macro focusing only since C-mount has a shorter focal flange distance than the Canon EF mount.
@@FotodioxInc Ok. Any plans to make an optically corrected mount for this situation or what lens would you suggest best for a super16 crop like this. thanks.

I can't get my Angenieux 17-68 to backfocus even remotely close on the BMPCC4k. I can get infinity focus at 68mm but it only focuses out to about 4ft at 17mm.
Do you know if that lens was designed for a standard C-mount camera? Also, when you mount it on our adapter are you able to get it to mount all the way, or is part of the lens getting stuck on the adapter? We've noticed some lenses are too bulky to mount snugly into our C-mount adapters.
It really depends on the focal length. The wider the lens the less shake you'll get when hand holding. So the 4 inch 100mm equivalent lens was impossible to hand hold and I had to use it on a mini tripod, but the 25mm and 12mm lenses were wide enough that I could hand hold them with less shake.
bmpcc 4k user... Question. I've have a c-mount (cctv 25mm) lens on the way. Would I be able to use Fotodiox Lens Mount Adapter Compatible with C-Mount CCTV/Cine Lens to Canon EOS (EF, EF-S) to attach lens to my metabones .71 ultra speedbooster (ef to MFT) and use if on my bmpcc 4k, or am I tripping?
That wouldn't work for two reasons. 1: our C-mount to EOS adapter is actually only designed for macro focusing and 2: the speedbooster is designed to shrink the image circle of a full frame lens to fit a smaller sensor, but because the C-mount lens is already designed to cover a smaller sensor, using it on a speedbooster would just make it vignette. The best way to use a C-mount lens on the Pocket 4K is to use our C-mount to Micro 4/3 adapter: fotodioxpro.com/products/c-mft
@@FotodioxInc thanks for your explanation it helps my understanding... I did purchase your c-Mount to MFT adapter, I was just hoping for a way to use these type of lenses without the tedium of having to remove the speedbooster from the pocket 4k
@@FotodioxInc one more question if you will kind sir....I am trying to decide between the lumix gx85 and the gx9 for guerilla type short filmmaking projects , would the c-Mount lenses fair better with one of these cameras better than the other or would the result be the same as far as vignetting and anything else I may be missing?
ok, mainly asking because I read somewhere that the gx85 crops less than the gx9 when in 4k (maybe due to difference in megapixels, dunno), even tho same sensor, so wasn't sure if that would make a difference....still deciding between the two but thanks again, your time appreciated
Hey Sean, I love this vintage look. I have a challeg for you. I own a Bolex H8 Reflex (Double8) which has a C-mount turret. I am not sure de lenses was same for 8mm and 16mm film. Now I am looking for 3x the same lens so I can integrate the footage actually shot with 8mm film with digital footage using the same lens. I stumbled upon the Rasberry Pi 10MP C-mount lensen. Would that work?
Hi Michel, here's some info I found: "The lens mount on the H-8 REX was the same 1" thread diameter as found on the standard C-mount of the H-16 and other 16mm cameras. However, the optical distance between lens seat and film plane was 15.305mm (compared with 17.52 on 16mm)." So unfortunately, even though these are technically C-mount lenses, they won't work on a traditional C-mount lens adapter, because they have a shorter focal flange distance to C-mount lenses. I'd recommend getting some traditional C-mount lenses in similar focal lengths to your Bolex Double8 lenses to adapt to whatever digital camera you're using.
@@FotodioxInc Would purchasing D-mount lensen with an adapter ring work for the Bolex H8R camera Yvar 13mm F1.9. I would need a D to C adapter too, which I found.
We do not, but it looks like there are some custom made ones on ebay.

@@FotodioxInc one more question if you will kind sir....I am trying to decide between the lumix gx85 and the gx9 for guerilla type short filmmaking projects , would the c-Mount lenses fair better with one of these cameras better than the other or would the result be the same as far as vignetting and anything else I may be missing?
@@qewproduction Both of those cameras have the same sensor size, so the c-mount lens should look the same on either.
ok, mainly asking because I read somewhere that the gx85 crops less than the gx9 when in 4k (maybe due to difference in megapixels, dunno), even tho same sensor, so wasn't sure if that would make a difference....still deciding between the two but thanks again, your time appreciated
Hey Sean, I love this vintage look. I have a challeg for you.
I own a Bolex H8 Reflex (Double8) which has a C-mount turret. I am not sure de lenses was same for 8mm and 16mm film.
Now I am looking for 3x the same lens so I can integrate the footage actually shot with 8mm film with digital footage using the same lens. I stumbled upon the Rasberry Pi 10MP C-mount lensen. Would that work?
Hi Michel, here's some info I found: "The lens mount on the H-8 REX was the same 1" thread diameter as found on the standard C-mount of the H-16 and other 16mm cameras. However, the optical distance between lens seat and film plane was 15.305mm (compared with 17.52 on 16mm)." So unfortunately, even though these are technically C-mount lenses, they won't work on a traditional C-mount lens adapter, because they have a shorter focal flange distance to C-mount lenses. I'd recommend getting some traditional C-mount lenses in similar focal lengths to your Bolex Double8 lenses to adapt to whatever digital camera you're using.
@@FotodioxInc that is great advice thank a million
@@FotodioxInc Would purchasing D-mount lensen with an adapter ring work for the Bolex H8R camera Yvar 13mm F1.9. I would need a D to C adapter too, which I found.
Hello, do you sell an adapter for Argus C3 lenses to Pocket 4K? What type of mount use Argus lenses?
We do not, but it looks like there are some custom made ones on ebay. Here's a link to one: www.ebay.com/i/173187109090?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-117182-37290-0&mkcid=2&itemid=173187109090&targetid=883441960689&device=c&mktype=pla&googleloc=9021444&poi=&campaignid=9426387573&mkgroupid=96480184500&rlsatarget=pla-883441960689&abcId=1140476&merchantid=113675508&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIsKL0k7nZ6QIVCL7ACh031whWEAQYAyABEgJSVPD_BwE
Kubrick used an extender to put a 16mm lens on a 35mm camera to get the correct image circle. Would this work with the BMPCC 4k?
If you just used a tube the lens would only be able to macro focus. You'd have to use it with a 2x teleconverter with a doubling optic.
Footage looks great but I heard it takes a good year or so to wait for your camera to get to you :(
Yeah, but it's worth the wait :)
I want to put my old film role camera lens with my DSLR camera
What mount doesyour lens have and what camera do you want to mount it on?
I'm shooting with an angenieux zoom 12 120 c mount lens on the bmpcc4k with the fotodiox adapter...I usually shoot at 1080... I'm assuming you shot this in 4k and cropped in ? I love the super 16 set up and wanna get better at it !

No, I didn't actually do any cropping in the video. So the lenses that don't vignette in the footage actually do cover the Micro 4/3 sensor.
My god!!! Americans even labeled lenses in the Imperial system. How fucked up is that?
