PrebenR Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Sorry if this has been asked, but I cannot find it with search. I have a speedbooster for Nikon glass on mFT that I use on my GH3. I'm considering a used BMPCC camera and just wanted to check that the speedbooster is OK for this. I have read there is a special BMPCC version, but not sure what is the difference. If I cannot use the speed booster the BMPCC is not so interesting. Got to love the IQ of the camera though! Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axel Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 You can use your SB with the Pocket. The MB BMPCC SB has some advantages though: PrebenR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see that to fix the whit orb issue one must send the camera in for calibrations. Perhaps it is better to buy a new camera than a used? Or do they accept all cameras?

Axel Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 The white orb issue affected the first few Pockets that were delivered. BM called them back for calibration of the sensor. That apparantly took about a month, but then the issue was gone. It wasn't reported since, so I'd say it's pretty unlikely that you buy a faulty one.
