Hi /u/MaulKentor - I'm thinking about doing the same thing.

Here's an example of the Samyang 10mm mounted on the BMPCC (no Speed Booster): https://vimeo.com/102729593

Very nice.

(Samyang, Bower and Rokinon lenses are all re-branded versions of the same glass.)

My plan is to get the [Nikon version of the Rokinon] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00K3T3M7Q/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00K3T3M7Q&linkCode=as2&tag=battleforthew-20) because it costs about $60 less than the [Canon mount version] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00K3T3MCG/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00K3T3MCG&linkCode=as2&tag=battleforthew-20) - and the [Nikon to BMPCC Speed Booster] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HZYNGNM/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00HZYNGNM&linkCode=as2&tag=battleforthew-20) costs $170 less than the [Canon to BMPCC version] (http://www.adorama.com/MBSPDBSTRBLK.html?KBID=66297).

Good luck!

/u/inquisitive872 - with a $2000 budget for a serious documentary camera, I would get a [$854 used Blackmagic Micro Cinema Camera with a 90 day warranty and 30 day free return policy from Adorama] (http://adorama.evyy.net/c/60286/51926/1036?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.adorama.com%2Fus%2520%2520%2520%2520888305.html), a [$349.99 Ikan 3.5" viewfinder with an LP-E6 battery plate] (https://www.amazon.com/Ikan-EVF35-KIT-Monitor-Canon-Battery/dp/B01N0H2EYU//ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=ll1&tag=battleforthew-20), a [$478.39 Nikon to BMPCC Speed Booster] (https://www.amazon.com/Metabones-Blackmagic-Pocket-Cinema-Booster/dp/B00HZYNGNM//ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=ll1&tag=battleforthew-20) and a [Sigma 17-50mm f/2.8 lens for Nikon mount for less than $300 new via eBay] (http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?ff3=4&pub=5575034783&toolid=10001&campid=5337235943&customid=&mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fsch%2FLenses%2F3323%2Fi.html%3F_from%3DR40%26_mPrRngCbx%3D1%26_udlo%3D%26_udhi%3D300%26_nkw%3DSigma%2B17-50mm%2Bf%252F2.8%2BNikon%26rt%3Dnc%26LH_BIN%3D1) [Referral Links].

The BMMCC is the only 1080/60p RAW camera in this price range and will give you a much wider color palette for grading than other cameras below $2000 (most theatrical pictures are shot in RAW). It will also give you wider dynamic range.

Here is the documentary image quality this camera can produce in 12-bit Cinema DNG RAW and 10-bit ProRes:
