The EF-BMPCC Active Speed Booster should only use with BMPCC. This model is customised to use with BMPCC camera, so it may cause damage of the adapter or the other cameras. It\u2019s not designed to cover the full MFT image circle, but only covers the smaller S16 of the BMPCC.<\/p>\n<p>To prevent anyone from using the BMPCC Speed Booster on the GH4. The GH4 will display \u201cLens attachment failed. Please make sure the lens is attached correctly\u201d. There is also an etched a warning \u201cFor use only with BMPCC\u201d on the BMPCC Speed Booster housing.<\/p>\n<p>Fear not, I\u2019m sure Metabones are actively working on a GH4 version of the EF &#8211; Active Speed Booster.<\/p>\n<p>Here is a few test clips using the Canon EF 70-200L II F2.8 IS on the Canon EF &#8211; BMPCC Active Speed Booster.

(i.e, by using 18-35mm lens, the actual focal length in BMPCC is from (10.5mm x 3.02 = 31.71mm) to (20.3mm x 3.02 = 61.31mm).<\/p>\n<p>Aperture effects on your EF Canon lenses by using the EF-BMPCC Active Speed Booster.<\/p>\n<p>a) EF 85\/1.2L attached, camera display = f\/1.2, physical aperture\u00a0 (lens + Speed Booster combined) = f\/0.74.b) Sigma 18-35\/1.8 attached, camera display = f\/1.0, physical aperture (lens + Speed Booster combined) = f\/1.0.<\/p>\n<p>Whats very handy is the tripod foot is detachable and compatible with Arca Swiss plates.

I have used this on the GH4 (pre-production) and it kinda works, naturally not sharp edge to edge. Best one I have used for\u00a0the 4K mode on that camera is the Cinema Camera Speedbooster. The one to use for caution and to use the mechanical shutter is the standard\u00a0speed booster\u00a0This is the one they will bring out in EF mount, soon i hope, for the GH4.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><strong>This is a simple field of view and exposure comparison between a simple flange adaptor, normal MFT Speedbooster (Nikon mount), Cinema Camera Speedbooster (Nikon Mount) and Pocket Camera EF\u00a0speed booster. Lens in Voigtlander 58mm at F4. ISO 400. Raw graded simply in Lightroom. As you can see the brightness and field of\u00a0view difference clearly.\u00a0The\u00a0pocket\u00a0camera\u00a0speed booster, whilst expensive, is essential for users of this camera. A big reason is using IS lenses is now possible with the\u00a0speed booster. The Nikon one is\u00a0passive. With a camera like this with rolling shutter issues handheld on anything other than Lumix lens with OIS is a bit crap. Now it&#8217;s more than possible. Plus we have a much larger field of\u00a0view and a nice\u00a0big gain in field of view. A\u00a0simply essential purchase!<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_32000\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-32000\" style=\"width: 670px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/staging.philipbloom.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Blackmagic-Pocket-Cinema-Camera_1_2014-01-01_0232_C0007_000172.jpg\" data-lightbox=\"gal[31984]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-32000 lazyload\" data-src=\"http:\/\/staging.philipbloom.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Blackmagic-Pocket-Cinema-Camera_1_2014-01-01_0232_C0007_000172-670x376.jpg\" alt=\"Flange adaptor\" width=\"670\" height=\"376\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Blackmagic-Pocket-Cinema-Camera_1_2014-01-01_0232_C0007_000172-670x376.jpg 670w, https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Blackmagic-Pocket-Cinema-Camera_1_2014-01-01_0232_C0007_000172-310x174.jpg 310w, https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Blackmagic-Pocket-Cinema-Camera_1_2014-01-01_0232_C0007_000172.jpg 1800w\" data-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 670px) 100vw, 670px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 670px;
