I'm thinking the same thing and have been researching this for weeks. On a large sensor like M43, F3, BM4K, x2 is definitely needed and 1.7 extender as well. For theBMCC only ax2 is needed.
But for the Pocket, x2 may not be needed.
I have a good SD Canon ENG zoom with 2x.
This lens is very sharp and CA is minimal on 2/3" ccd cam but am wondering how it would work on the Pocket.
I don't accept the idea that B4's are designed to focus different colours at different lengths. It's more like they are engineered to have minimal CA to reduce overall CA as additional CA is introduced by dicroic prisms.
On a single sensor I expect the lens to perform better than on a 3 ccd.
It will be some time before I acquire a Pocket and test this B4 lens on it.
