SLR Magic 10mm/2.1 – First day with a BMPCC from framearts on Vimeo.
Framearts posted that test video shot on the new SLR magic 10mm T/2.1 MFT lens:
For my first test video i chose the BMPCC because first of all i wanted to try out the filmic quality of the lense. Test for sharpness i will do with my GH4.
It is a very solid lense and feels really good in the hand. Focus and iris are working really smooth. I see nearly no CA and the distortion is on a minimum. I really like the the colors, also the skin tones look really good. So for me, just my first conclusion is, that it is a very good lense for a filmic look and it seems to be a nice combination with the BMPCC.
I also was looking how good you can shoot run and gun with no IS on the BMPCC with that lense. As you can see, when you have time and don´t stress too much it´s ok, although not perfect at all. But i guess when you take a rig it´s much better and for sure an option. So for filmic purposes yes, but if you do documentary shooting and don´t want to be recognized, for me, the 12-35 Panny lense with its superb OIS is the only option.
The Variable ND filter feels very solid, fits perfectly on the lense and has a very smooth setting. Just the stick for turning the filter could be a little bit smaller.

its prob me but the moment you aim at the leaves up in the sky and rotate , i almost see a 3D effect. 10mm seems to do well with little camera shake without IS.
Somebody should teach him how to spell Lens – each time somebody writes ‘lense’ as a singular it makes me cringe.
Filmic doesn’t mean soft. It seems the term is often used by marketing people to justify the softness of a lens.
I tend to think of filmic in terms of rich color and analogue-ish rendering, not softness.
Thank you for posting my video in the updates! I love this site and I’m proud to be a part of it.
This lens looks really good.
It’s great to see all these new M4/3 ultra-wide lenses popping up!
SLR Magic, Kowa, Voigtländer, etc.
It’s been a LONG wait!
