Definitely. Which is why I wanted to confirm that (which you most graciously have). Thanks a bunch! 🙂

I mostly just ask out of curiosity. The primary reason I opted to the MFT in the first place was for the application of “vintage” lenses to expand my visual palette. I tend towards older, partially-degraded aesthetics.
That said, I hadn’t hunted down an adapter for that mount type yet so I wasn’t sure. I just know the sensor can be somewhat of an issue and that’s not something that’s always easy to dig up specs on for anything made before the 1980s.
It wasn’t so much an alternative to the EF series so much as it is a creative experiment of sorts 🙂 Thanks for the advice, though!

Sorry for the late response but thanks for the input! I was just over-thinking the issue and I was able to drag the layers back out to the desired length while subtracting the extras.
To iterate, I was doing the “shift+D” option.
Often the simplest solution was the correct one. Just a case of over-complicating a situation that needn’t be so complex 🙂

Indeed. I also heard that the 4K is getting reduced to $3,000 – which makes my decision to buy the 2.5K at that same price last April something of a pain. I really wish they’d offer a kind of trade-in program or something. I literally pulled the trigger on my deal a day prior to their announcement at NAB. FML…

Duly noted. I’ll give it a run through as per the original plan. Thanks for the input, guys!
I am, however, concerned about the size of the master footage I’ll be modifying in AE. The clip is 17 minutes long, give or take.
Granted, precomping and parenting the FX layers is a must – but is there an easier way to break up the sequence into smaller more ‘digestible’ pieces to split up the individual plates while I work on them, then recombine said pieces once each one has been polished?

Thanks for the input! But I made a mistake on the time stamps for the videos. It should be 42:47 for the KIEV video and 26:26 on the MOSCOW video.
I’m not sure if this changes your perspective on this but I appreciate the feedback nonetheless!

Thanks again, Matt! I’m taking a look and drafting a wish-list! Sorry for the late response. I was working logistics all weekend for a shoot so I wasn’t really able to sit down and have a good look at your post until now! 🙂
I also have a couple of old Soligor manual lenses (100 and 150mm, respectively). They were for an old Nikon FE series SLR.

After doing a little bit of searching I came to the conclusion that these were essentially wedded to the F mount, same as the Zeiss 50 I was looking at. Would I be able to use a single adapter to suit all of these to the passive MFT?

Thanks for bearing with!
I have the Voigtlander on my wishlist already and there are a couple of others as well. Good to know about the Olympus & Panasonic lenses too.
Just to flesh out a decent kit, I was hoping I could also look for some cheaper glass to supplement the “flagship” brands. Any good places to start looking for those, if not Panasonic & Olympus?

Matt,
I was on another forum and another use posted the following response to a threat I began as per our “adapter” inquiry:
QUOTE — “…the full size BlackMagic Cinema [passive MFT] camera (sic) will not be able to use any of the Olympus or Panasonic m4/3 lenses{except for the Olympus 15mm bodycap lens}. They designed it so you can use all the various full frame and APS photo lenses plus 35mm cine lenses via adaptors. I think you may have misunderstood what BM meant by ‘passive m4/3 mount’…”
Is this correct? Even if said Panasonic/Olympus lenses are manual?

Thanks for the advice, Matt! I still feel a bit lost when it comes to figuring out what’s what but still, I appreciate your patience and clarification!
