Blackmagic URSA 12k/ RAWLITE vs. LucAdapters Magic Booster 12K 

This has been one of the most helpful video for me on this camera. I currently have the rawlight. But I really love the full frame look to match with my sigma fp.

This was really helpful, actually. The potential for full-frame on my 12K has been nagging at me since I learned about the Lucadapters but that flaring is unacceptable, so I'm finally at peace. If they sort it out, I'd definitely give it another look!

very cool thank you for doing this, I'm still using my 4.6k G1 with rawlite. This is good information for me to know for future camera upgrades.

I appreciate this test! Thank you.

Hello Ian, The flaring of the magic booster create some huge reflection in direct sunlight, I don't know if you experienced it but it get seriously nasty. Had hard time getting a refund, but beware, this adapter cannot be used on backlit situations and they can't fit lenses with a back element like Leica R that get a little bit out of the mount. Rawlite is solid and reliable. Thanks for this video.

Very helpful, thanks for this informating video.

Extremely helpful! Thanks to LucAdapter who didn't reply to my previous questions, I may wait for another solution. I'm afraid it would highly impact the time of 3 lights setup for interviews... Anyone knows if the adapter would do the same flare effect in the Bmpcc6K ?

Thanks for this ❤

Have you tried it with a proper Matte Box? I guess the lateral flares would be similar anyways but it might help with vertical ones.

Want to get the LucAdapter for Ursa Broadcast G2, but I am a little concerned about how this will affect lens data when doing gyro stabilization. Using a metabones speed booster on my P4K, the data automatically gets converted, but I didn’t see anything on their website that might give any information about it.

Questions: I have an OG URSA 12K (and multiple 6K Pros) and was planning to do the lucadapter mod soon. This flare issue I've only heard referenced in your video, so thanks for calling attention to it. A) Is the flare happening at the Front of the lense, or something unique at the back, genuinely caused by the adapter. B) is it possible that if you put that exact lense in the exact lighting setup, on a true full-frame sensor camera (say a dslr or mirrorless), that you'd get the same flaring? In other words, is that flaring happening Optically, and only being 'cropped out' by the crop-factor of the smaller sensors only sensing the center of the image circle at the back of the lense? I hope that makes sense. And I hope that is the case. C) If that is the case, do you get the same flares on the Crop sensor/non-speed boost if you pop on a wider lense, or zoom out to match focal lengths? D) You mentioned having to control the light. Are you doing so with Flags and Matte Boxes? Have you always been able to control it? And have you experimented with polarizers? E) I know this flare issue was your deal-breaker, but if it were controllable, do you still prefer the Image from the raw-light?

Great video- does your mattebox block the flares any ? I agree while it has a place and is "cool" it can be a deal breaker for scenarios that do not call for it.

Lucatapters have a MK II version for sale on their website. Do you know if the version you used in these tests is the MK 1 or MK 2? Hoping they've fixed the flaring issue. Thanks

Thanks for doing this comparison! Seems like the perfect solution would be a Rawlite olpf speedbooster 😂 How difficult is it to remove or put in the Luc Adapter? Is it more like a permanent fixture?

Any ND filter issues with LucAdapters? I have the lucadapters on my 6ks but on my Ursa's I need to replace busted EF mounts and figured might as well go focal reduced.

I bought a pro, but now considering to go take it back and get the 6k magic with the Lucadapter. I understand the flare but if there was a matte box could that help with the flare? I am like you I really want the full frame especially with my xeen lenses.

Would the flare issue occurs on the Bmpcc6K (when using ng the LucAdapter) even when shooting 4K dci braw?

Is this the Mk II version they have now on their website? Possible they've fixed the flare?

Is your Lucadapter the Dynamic one? Also can you use the Rawlite with the Lucadapter?

Do you shoot with a matte-box? I would have thought you could eliminate flares pretty easy with one.

Would a matte box adequately solve the flaring issue with LucAdapters?

What does it look if you use the RAWLITE filter with the Magic Booster?

that milky lack of detail is really obvious with the lucadapter compared to stock and rawlite.

How are you liking the 12k?

Matte Box ?
