Review Summary
2014-12-30T19:00:00
I own a BMCC and when the pocket cam went on sale I purchased one. The almost 3X crop on the pocket cam is cool for telephoto shots but makes your lens selection much more limited for wide angle. That's where the metabones comes in. Now I rarely use my BMCC and almost always opt for the pocket cam/metabones combo. I willy infrequently shoot with a micro 4/3 lens but almost always use the metabones.

Canon EF to BMPCC T Speed Booster adapters designed exclusively for the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera (BMPCC). Note that this new 0.58x Speed Booster will only attach to BMPCC equipped with a Micro-4/3 mount. They cannot be attached to standard Micro 4/3 cameras (cannot be attached to GH4, GH3, GH2 and GH1 body). The new 0.58x Speed Booster reduces the crop factor of the BMPCC from 3.02x to 1.75x and produces the largest aperture optics currently available, with a maximum output aperture of f/0.74.
