M43 Speedboster BMCC

[enny]

Can any m43 speedboster fit on black magic cinema 2.5k or I have to look for specific one for my bmcc2.5 k

From what I remember the more generic models will work but won't be quite as sharp as the Blackmagic-specific Metabones models, as they were designed specifically for the thinner sensor glass/filter that the Blackmagics used on their sensors.

Looking at the product pages on Metabones' site, this note is interesting:

When using with "passive" (without electronic control pin) MFT camcorders/cameras, such as BMCC 2.5K MFT and Digital Bolex D16 MFT, the Speed Booster must be powered by external power source via Micro-USB socket. Input Voltage is 5V DC.  (Battery is NOT included in the box).

When using with "active" (with electronic control pin) MFT camcordrs/cameras, such as BMPCC MFT, the Speed Booster can be powered by camera body. no external power source required.

I don't know if the standard speed boosters can be powered by micro usb - I'd find that out before considering one if you have a BMCC 2.5k and want to use electronic EF lenses.

Hi I don’t need electronic option since my lenses are vintage

Didn't you ask this same question 2 other times in the past 3 months?
