The Lumix lenses have a weird system where the rate that you turn the ring changes the focus throw. If you turn it slowly it takes a lot of movement on the ring to make it move if you turn it quickly it takes a lot less throw. Unfortunately it is completely useless for video manual focus because...

Let us know how you get on. You may struggle when trying to manual focus the Lumix 25mm, this type of lens works well on a regular MFT camera but the fly by wire focusing can be a bit unpredictable on the BMPCC in manual mode. I've found the auto focus works well for this kind of lens though...

If you already have a carbon tripod the things that are letting you down are the cumulative movement of camera to plate, head to tripod and the flexibility of the feet. All these can add up to quiet a bit. Use some firm pressure to move you camera about and look where the movements coming from...

I have a couple of BMPCC4K. One of the benefits of the MFT mount is you can adapt it to most lens systems. I use Nikon lenses for stills and so I have adapted mine to fit those, but it's just as easy to use a Canon or Sony mount. I use one of these for mount adapting...

You will also get a higher write speed if you switch to CF cards. Andrew HATFIELD | Architectural and Interior Photographer

The limiting factor is probably the buffer on your camera. When that's full you are reliant on the buffer to card transfer time, which you can see is quiet slow. Your best option is to shoot smaller files, it will then take more shots to fill the buffer and allow more shots to be transferred to...

I use an external monitor a lot of the time. It really helps if you are working in tight spaces when you can't see the on camera monitor or get your eye to the viewfinder. I also do a lot of night photography and the focus peeking tools and wave forms to get the exposure and focus right. It...

As this is the Architecture Forum I thought it would be interesting to see your shots taken with Shift Lenses. I thought I would start with a note on what lenses I use and how I use them. I use the Nikon 24mm PC-E f/3.5 this is a tilt/shift lens and the vintage Nikon 35mm PC f/2.8 shift only...

Have you seen work by Harry Gruyaert his photographs have a similar vibe to SL. Andrew HATFIELD | Architectural and Interior Photographer

Looks good, reminds me of work by Saul Leiter. Andrew HATFIELD | Architectural and Interior Photographer

T That should give you reasonable level of isolation, your next step up is a blimp. I use the Rode Blimp with dead cat if it's windy, but if the wind speed is above about 15 mph I will still get some low frequency noise. Have you tried using a longer cable or wireless link to get the mic off...
