BMPCC 4k and super16 Carl ZEISS test - Vintage look

Hey,

Hand a change to test out new Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4k with Zeiss super16 lenses.

I used mft->PL mount adapter and used following lenses
Carl-Zeiss Distagon 16mm T1.2 /
Distagon 25mm T1.2 /
Planar 50mm T1.2 /
ARRI Zoom Vario-Sonnar 11-11mm0 T2.2 /

Apeture was closed to T2 on primes and wide open on zoom
tungsten practicals and 2800K LED in kitchen
Shot in ProRes 422 HQ 4k DCI and exported to fullHD with :39 bars
ISO 1600
WB 3200K
GRADED in Resolve - used DCI-P3 Fuji D65 Film Looks LUT + exp and wb adjustments

As i used mft to PL adapter and super16 format lenses, i was not able to use 9.5mm and 11mm lenses in front of BMPCC4k because the sensor is bigger than super16.
16mm lense had hard vignetting on the edges with 16:9 aspect ratio but adding 2.39:1 bars are helping it out a little. I like the softness and bending in the edges though.
25mm had less vignetting and 50mm was really OK.

Let me know what do you think of those lenses in front of this camera.
