Germy1979 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 I need to research whether or not such an adapter even exist... But the Nokton 17.5, and the 25 are 2 of the fastest lenses out there. I'm just thinking in terms of dof. Plus, they look gorgeous and i wanna get the 25 for my gh2 now. Problem is, will that be the only camera i can use it on? The BMC's sensor is smaller..? It'd be a shitty waste of money if I got stuck with one option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexander Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 This would be amazing!!! then we could get the zuiko 12mm f2!!!!!!!!! or at least the pana 20mm 1.7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galenb Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I've looked before but then I realized... Doh! All the other canon mount cameras are either APS-C or full size. On those cameras there would be a visible crop on the image because the m43 lens mount is so much smaller then FD mount. Obviously with the BMCC, the sensor is smaller and might not have an issue with the crop... However, I think the flange distance is really the biggest issue. The m4/3 mount is right up against the sensor (just like C-mount lenses are really close to the film gate). If the lens mount you are trying to adapt has a longer flange distance, you can just add that to your adaptor. But if the flange distance is shorter (like with canon to m4/3) you would basically have to carve away into the body to make that happen work. But hey, you never know. Maybe some crazy guy will pull off the front of the BMCC and make a whole new replacement front with M4/3 mount on it instead. I suppose it's possible at any rate.

Administrators Andrew Reid Posted August 29, 2012 Administrators Share Posted August 29, 2012 Sensor size is not the issue, the lenses cover but it is impossible 100% due to distance of the mount from the sensor and the Micro Four Thirds optics are designed to be 20mm away. EF mount is 44mm so too long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter J. DeCrescenzo Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Hot Rod Cameras is likely to be one of the first reputable companies to offer a m43 lens mount mod for the BMCC. There will of course be others, too. It's too obvious & tempting for it not to happen, and very soon. http://www.hotrodcameras.com/?p=4038 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richg101 Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 check the bm website... image on there! same price as ef version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Germy1979 Posted September 7, 2012 Author Share Posted September 7, 2012 Lmao!! I just got the update email!!! I really could give 2 shits about the panny glass, however!!! The Voigtlanders with the 0.95 aperture will change the game with the smaller sensor on here!! This changes things for me,lol. Now I have to cancel my preorder and get this mount.... Which will be more than likely, most people's decision since the MFT system has an adapter for every other lens in the world.... If I have that right?

Anil Rao Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Hi, don't know if this is of interest, but my friend Rick Young who runs the Mac Video Expo in London and has always been down with BMD, made this video about the MFT Blackmagic Camera. :) [media]http://vimeo.com/49446586[/media] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
