Equivalence between Focal Lengths

[Bern Caughey]

Supposedly those two Blackmagic(s) are very similar & wouldn't be surprised if their sensors were cut from the same wafer.

But I've never used the Cinema Camera & only bought the Pocket for a gig where some shots required a small camera. Haven't used it much since then, however the DITs were impressed enough that they both subsequently purchased their own.

Is the blackmagic pocket camera a ready to go camera? I mean, can I just get some MFT lenses to use with it? I've read about so many people spending $600 on speedboosters... Is it worth it? Or can I get away with mft lenses instead?

... Ok, maybe with a MFT to Nikon mount I could use my old manual Nikons?... How would that afect image size?

Absolutely right. I will start a new thread, as this has made me rethink my current rig and get a more modern one. Thanks!

I don't see the problem. It has progressed naturally, like a normal human conversation.

It's hopeless to try to make a thread's content match its subject line, because for one thing people are awful at naming threads. In fact, I'm seeing more and more in the style of clickbait.

Even if a thread's title lines up with its original post, as this one does, it will tend, like any human conversation, to wander to related topics. The human brain is a web of thought, not unlike the World Wide Web.

DVXUser isn't a Q&A site, like Quora or StackExchange. It's a forum, where the socialization is as fun as the getting hard answers to straightforward questions.
