A friend gifted me a jacked up original Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera, and it did something to me... it changed me. I saw its potential. I saw how I could use it on my photography channel. I saw how fun this camera could be, and how it could be a fun break from my Canon EOS R. But because it had issues I needed a parts camera to fix it. Only one problem... there are NEVER any parts cameras for sale on eBay. I waited months and finally found one. But then after fixing the camera I received for free... I still had one camera remaining. Could I get that one fully functional as well?
Four cameras and $850 later... I had my answer.

Who's into the BMPCC OG? I'm loving using it for my photography channel (I have yet to post a video where I've used it, though - as of March 5, 2024)... if someone could make a 10mm pancake lens for this thing it would be incredible. The biggest challenge with this camera has been finding a compact zoom lens that's wide enough to give me a full frame equivalent of between 24 and 28mm.

@seecraig 4 ай бұрын

I have one I bought in 2014 believe it or not. Fully working. I have a 12-35 which gives a good range from about as wide as you can get to reasonably long. I do think there was a 7mm out there though.

@matthewTobrien 4 ай бұрын

Oooh, 12-35 could be cool. I've seen an 8mm and a 10mm fixed focal length as well. Definitely some options but of course none of them are perfect.

@Jbzy3000 Ай бұрын

I’m looking for one now. I like these older cameras.

I've had an OG BMPCC for years. It's a fun camera, but not one that I've used too much, newer cameras are just so much more convenient. I had a GH5S too and bought a Metabones Speedbooster XL .64 to adapt my Canon EF lenses. That same speedbooster works on the BMPCC OG and results in a crop factor of about 1.84x. That's probably the best way to get a decently wide FoV with the OG. Even though there is a Speedbooster that is designed to work specifically for the BMPCC, I had no issues using the one designed for M43 in general.

@matthewTobrien 4 ай бұрын

I have that speedbooster, actually. I may see what kind of really wide angle EF lenses I can check out to try to get some other focal length. I really want to try to keep it as small and compact as possible which is why I got an adapter for my set of Pentax 110 lenses. But even the 18mm is really tough to use other than out in the world.

@PhillipRPeck 4 ай бұрын

lol, a 16-35 f/2.8 in addition to the speed booster is a LOAD 😂. But yeah, it’s tough to get around the crop

at 9:29... the crop factor on a BMPCC is way more than 2X, despite having the M43 mount it has a 1" sensor, so it is more like 2.88X

@matthewTobrien Ай бұрын

Did I say 1.88/2x? 🤔

@AspectRatioPolice Ай бұрын

@@matthewTobrien at 9:36 yes. I see at 21:16 you corrected it. I use a Cine-Nikkor 10mm C-Mount on the BMPCC. amazing lens.

@matthewTobrien Ай бұрын

@AspectRatioPolice Ahhh, yeah, in these videos where I’m just going off the cuff I can misspeak sometimes. I will check that lens out. I wish there were more M43 10mm lenses though. Appreciate you watching and recommending a lens!

i've been on the hunt for an OG. Had one years ago and loved it. Really miss that camera. Awesome that you got one working!

It was fun to do some basic repairs on them, take them apart and see what's in there, and get some of them back up and running again. Now I just gotta make stuff with it...

If you ever happen to be looking for some great wide angle lenses for this camera, I just picked up a 7.5mm Koah Fisheye lens for $50 on eBay for my camera. I use a Laowa 9mm usually, but the 7.5mm Koah is amazing, especially for the price. Very minimal distortion due to the crop factor, a surprising minimum focus distance, and it has an all metal housing. Hope you enjoy the camera! I've been loving mine since 2013.

Hi Mattew are you interested on selling your spare battery door? (BMPC Original camera) my one is broken. Cheers

@matthewTobrien 2 ай бұрын

Sorry to hear that! I only kept one complete BMPCC and sold the rest (one with a missing door). Hopefully you can find an inexpensive parts camera! I had to wait months for one to pop up on eBay…
