Metabones Speed Booster Canon EF Adaptor for Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera
Designed in part by Brian Caldwell, a champion optical engineer at Panovision, the Metabones Speed Booster Canon EF adaptor specifically build for the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera, allows you to use full frame lenses and opens up your F stops to a minimum of 0.74 – that’s FAST!
Fitting in front of the camera’s sensor and encompassing a beautifully cut and engineered curve of glass, the Speed Booster fits a full frame Canon lens and the glass curve filters that wider image down to fit the camera’s s16mm sensor, which also means you let a lot more light onto the sensor. Normally a prime lens would be severely cropped if placed directly onto the camera, meaning you’d have to use a very wide 9mm lens to get the equivalent coverage of an 18mm as you would see it on a larger sensor camera. This handy little piece of kit really does open up a wide range of options for using the Pocket Camera over a DLSR or even the bigger frame Cinema Cameras in the Blackmagic range.
The Canon EF adaptor with integrated electronics to work with Canon lenses. You can now greatly increase the capacity of this small camera to shoot with your favourite Canon lenses giving you a whole new range of stylistic and practical possibilities when working with the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera.
Just to note, there is another version of the Speedbooster for MFT mount that better suits cameras such as the GH4 which have a different sensor size and depth to the sensor.
