Difference between these two speed boosters?

[bbhaltz]

Hi guys, I was just having a look on b&h at the ef to bmpcc speed boosters and found two different versions listed:

and

http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1174582-REG/metabones_mb_spef_bmpcc_bt1_metabones_canon_ef_lens.html

I was just wondering if anyone knows what the 'T' in the second link means? Is it an updated version?

Thanks.

The "T" version differs from the "non-T" version only in that the "T" has an improved internal blackening to reduce reflections.  The Metabones website shows the original "non-T" version as discontinued: http://www.metabones.com/products/details/MB_SPEF-BMPCC-BM1 , and the "T" version as the current EF-BMPCC model:  http://www.metabones.com/products/details/MB_SPEF-BMCC-BT1 .  Its possible that B&H are selling old stock of the original version, but I think its more likely that they simply made a mistake on their website.  Since you're in Australia, you may get better service simply by ordering direct from Metabones.
