Thanks for sharing this interesting and very well captured video.
For the facts: From the title "Marathon" I was expecting to see a running race as usual: Instead I watched a kind of a peaceful protest march organized by Vodafone.(?)
The technical information that your video offers is mostly valuable: I was informed that you used EOS M for capturing ML Raw video.
And you do not need a lens to cover the entire surface of the EOS M sensor: Instead you can use a fast C-mount lens with an adapter, which will cover enough surface of the sensor so that the cropped area of the RAW video is covered.
Questions:
-Did you shot in 1536x642 or in 1280x536 resolution from the ML menu of EOS M?
- I made a simple web search for the "Mieka" 12mm/f1.4 lens that you describe but did not find anything about it.

- Shot 1536x642 in ML, downscaled to 720p in After Effects.
- Mieka 12mm f/1.4 is noname cctv lens I think, many of like this on ebay or aliexpress. It's very cheap, arround $20. Written "Made in Japan" on the lens: http://www.furkanmuhendislik.com.tr/miekalens.html

Mieka 12mm f/1.4 is noname cctv lens

I looked at the link, cannot see many details.
It says "DC iris": so can you change the aperture of this lens during capture?

They wrote wrong, it has manuel iris. I asked to seller before ordered.
Picture of the lens:

This lens looks nice. I have not seen this on ebay before.
I cannot understand many things from this product picture.
Can you post a new picture of the lens to show how the aperture opens and closes?
And it would good as well, to see another picture taken with eos m and this lens mounted on it, so that would show much area of the sensor is covered.
