Blackmagic and Pentax - BMPCC

So,
as videographer using Pentax system, this morning I woke up with the idea to buy (also) a Blackmagic Pocket Cinema camera.
The camera fits perfectly with my projects, since I shoot with a cinematic style.
I'm aware of the major "problems" of that camera: ridicoulous battery life (but I shot 90% in interior) and poor handling (but I already own tripods, heads, rigs etc).
I'm only worried about crop factor, that's x2,88
Since metabones costs half the price fo the BMPCC (and in any case it should be PentaxK to EF then EF to micro4/3), I'm asking if there are some pentaxians using BM directly with (ultra)wide Pentax glasses adapted to m4/3: suggestions, experiences, problems?
Any advice about Cosmicar Pentax TV lenses?

Thanks everybody!

I'm using a K-3 for video projects just because I can't buy a C200 or a a7sII or a Ursa mini for the moment (this three would be my choices in order of preference).
At the moment I shoot interviews with b-footages and the K-3 is good enough IF you don't want a lot of room for color correction or the ability to deal with special lightning conditions or an extended dynamic range because K3 is really missing any single feature that makes a DSLR good for video. But again, paired with a good lens (I mostly use M 50 f/1,7) with rock solid lightning, audio and grips&rig equipments, it is enough for having some results. There is just nothing special in her.

Yes...
My question in fact is, how can I set H/L keys in order to get the most details is possible in both dark and light areas. Should I move the low keys cursos until I get the maximum on the left of the histogram and move the High to get the same on the right (before burning of course)?
And what about the risk to loss some details? I ask this because it seems, looking i.e. at Sony S-logs (or everything coming out from an Arri) that the flatest the image in H/L keys the best it is...

Very interesting, thank you.
My question is, at this point, what is the BEST setting for High/Low keys in order to loss the less info is possible.

In any case, here a screenschot of the footage with the muted profile that I made with the Pentax K3.
What do you think, how can I improve it talking about high/low keys and loss of details?
Thanks!

Thank you for all your suggestions!
I managed to make the video and quite satisfied by the result but I really need that you explain me more about HIgh/Low KEy settings on Pentax K3, if you can!


Thanks!

Thank you. My questions was actually especially for the "mid settings" like highlights and shadows, since I read somewhere that there is the risk to lose some info reducing that parameters wrong way.
About the colour it is a good suggestion. In this case I will use a LUT in post, so better flat colors ;-)

Yes, I know Pentax SR in video mode is electronic and horrible like the video AF function. In any case I use tripods, fluid heads, rigs and follow focus

Hello,
I will shoot some video next week with a K3. Very confortable to use for the fast and logical settings but...
Any suggestions on how to correctly set the flat color profile? Normally it's Contrast to minimum, Sharpness to minimun and Saturation 2 steps left. On the K3 there are also Highlights and Shadows and other fine tunings to set. Any suggestion and experiences from video users?

Thanks!
