Dear Blackmagic,
Is there any chance that we might be getting the 4/3 mount version of BMCC communicating the lens with the body?

This question has come up many times in the past, and the answer has thus far been "No".

You're welcome to add it to the feature request thread ("active MFT mount" has been posted there many times):
viewtopic.php?f=2&t=265

Cheers.

The rumor was a month or so ago that there was an active mount coming out mid next year, but due to the passive mount not being released yet I wouldn't expect one any time soon.

Ryan, I'm sorry but what is going on with you and the "Rumors". That word gets thrown around a lot by you, :lol: . Nothing personal. I'm just wondering where you get all your inside scoop information.

What else is there to talk about? I have no information, just reading what other people have said - the active MFT was rumored in October and was given a 61-80% chance of being correct: http://www.43rumors.com/ft4-new-blackma ... ming-2013/
