John Emery Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Hi! Just got my micro cinema camera and a Bmpcc T speedbooster. And I'm having problems with the latter (well, it could be the micro too)... it doesn't let me control the aperture of my EF lenses (Sigma 18-35, Canon 50 f1,4 and 24-105 f4). The 24-105 works sometimes (if I detach it a few times from the speedbooster). I'm a newbie when it comes to both pieces of gear... Has anyone else tried this combination? Any workarounds? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inazuma Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Try updating the firmware Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Emery Posted May 3, 2016 Author Share Posted May 3, 2016 First thing I tried, but It looks like there's no firmware update for the "Bmpcc T Speedbooster"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zak Forsman Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 you probably know this but thought I'd mention that their firmware isn't model-specific. if you've got an MFT/EF speedbooster in any flavor, you use the same firmware. MAC: http://metabones.com/article/of/EF-M43_Firmware_Mac WIN: http://metabones.com/article/of/EF-M43_Firmware_Win I've got a BMPCC speed booster running on a Micro, no problem. I've even got the Sigma 18-35mm that you have. So if you continue to have issues after updating to v2.2 of the firmware, something else is going on.

John Emery Posted May 3, 2016 Author Share Posted May 3, 2016 I didn't know (I'm a newbie when it comes to SBs), so BIG thanks Zak... I'll give it a try!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Emery Posted May 4, 2016 Author Share Posted May 4, 2016 All lenses work perfectly with the latest firmware! Thanks Inazuma & Zak! By the way... I'm digging the image quite a bit, it's nice and cinematic. But it does have some fpn when you underexpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
