Turboguard Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 I own the BMPCC with the Nikon to BMPCC Speedbooster. I also own the Sigma 18-35mm and am at the time, very happy with the set up (owned it for about 2 weeks now). Now the Canon EF to BMPCC is out and I'm wondering if it's really an important upgrade to go through with if I'm not using a lot of IS lenses. So right now, I could exchange my Sigma Lens from Nikon to Canon, but it still doesn't have IS and I wouldn't have the smooth aperture anymore changing to canon mount. Non of the rokinon/samyang cine primes has IS either correct? (I'm thinking about picking up the new 10mm for even wider and the 85mm for long.) I'm in this mood feeling everyone is saying that the new active speed booster means EVERYTHING to the life of the BMPCC, but again, looking at my lens choices, does it even matter to me personally? I know a lot of you might be like "this is your personal decision", but I'm so effing indecisive so that's why I'm asking you guys for help here. Maybe there's another lens I should go with? Something like the Sigma but with IS? I appreciate every answer and tip you guys have, always! Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Hughes Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Why exchange for a Canon mount when you already have a working setup? Rokinon lenses have no electronic components (that's why they're cheap!), so no IS. That's kind of a lie- some Rokinons have an AF confirm chip, but still no IS.

You're right, I'm just asking because I feel like I am overlooking something. But I might just be on the right track to finally have a nice set up!
