Review Summary

Unfortunately, the Speed Booster I received had a poor fitting mount. The adapter was so loose on the camera that focus pulls caused the image to skew during video capture. Locking the body and adapter down to the same plate helped. However, heavily dampened lenses still showed some shift on the lens side of the adapter. The Zeiss Milvus lenses were virtually unusable. Adding a lens support to your rails and follow focus will get you about a good as it gets. If you need a critically stable image and you receive a loose mount then good luck. Apparently, Metabones just can't get these things right, they're either too tight or too loose.

Such a great product. Yes, it's a very tight fit, but that doesn't have to be a bad thing does it? I'd prefer a tighter fit rather than a loose one. Perhaps the other reviewer received a faulty model. Makes beautiful images AND reduces the crop factor on my BMPCC. This purchase was a no-brainer :)

Enhance your photography and videography experience with the Metabones Nikon G to BMPCC Micro 4/3 Speed Booster. Specifically designed to mount a Nikon G lens to a Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera, this innovative product not only increases the angle of view but also boosts the maximum aperture, providing superior low-light performance and fast-action capture.
The Speed Booster's 6-element optical design incorporates ultra-high index glass, ensuring optimal optical performance even at the largest apertures. It remarkably increases the maximum aperture by 1 2/3 stops, achieving a maximum aperture of f/0.74, and effectively reduces the crop factor from 2.88x to 1.75x.
But the benefits don't stop there. The Speed Booster also enhances the lens' Modulation Transfer Function (MTF), which is a measure of how faithfully the lens transfers detail from the object to the camera sensor. This means you'll see significant increases in MTF not only in the center but also in the corners of your images, resulting in sharper, more detailed photos and videos.
Built with the needs of cinematographers in mind, the Speed Booster features a clickless aperture ring, allowing for smooth and silent aperture changes during filming. It also comes with a removable Arca-type compatible tripod mount for added versatility and convenience.
Please note that this Speed Booster is not compatible with the Nikkor 2.1cm f/4.0 lens, or the 20mm f/2.8 AI-S lens.
In essence, the Metabones Nikon G to BMPCC Micro 4/3 Speed Booster is a high-quality, durable, and compact solution that offers versatility and enhanced performance for your Nikon G lens and Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera.
