The Metabones Nikon G Lens to Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Speed Booster allows you to mount any Nikon F-mount lens to the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera. Key features include:
Nikon G Compatibility. This adapter was designed specifically for the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera. It allows you to use both G and non-G series Nikon F-mount lenses, including legacy non-AI and AI lens mounts, on the BMPCC. Due to the smaller sensor size, you can also use DX (crop-frame) lenses. This adapter is not for use with any camera or camcorder other than the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera.
Wider Focal Length and Increased Aperture. This BMPCC version of the Speed Booster widens the mounted lens’s focal length by 0.58x, effectively reducing the overall sensor crop factor from 2.88 to 1.75×. Additionally, the adapter increases the maximum aperture of the mounted lens by 1 2/3 stops, with a maximum output aperture of f/0.74.
Aperture Ring. The adapter has its own eight-stop aperture ring for controlling Nikon G-series lenses without their own aperture rings. The ring also has half-stop clicks, allowing you to set it to a specific aperture.
Sturdy Design with Built-In Tripod Foot. The aluminum barrel and brass mounts give it a solid feel, with an Arca-Swiss compatible tripod foot that lets you mount the adapter itself directly to a tripod. This ensures the lens’s weight doesn’t put additional stress on the camera’s mount.
What This Adapter Doesn’t Do. This adapter provides no electronic communication with the camera, so you won’t have autofocus, and EXIF data will not be transferred. You can’t set the camera to auto and start shooting; you must make some manual exposure adjustments first.
