The canon 35/1.4L aperture now seems to work correctly where as on 1.1 it was hit or miss for me. This is apparently undocumented though as it's not in the read me.

[EDIT] Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM aperture control changes f-stop onscreen, but DOES NOT actually adjust iris.

Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM aperture control works fine. IS works like a dream, even handheld (using the BMC aluminum handles) at 300mm. It's still a pretty silly thing to do, though.

Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 works well.

• Canon 14/2.8L V2 Working
• Canon 135/2L Working

Canon 24mm 1.4 II working fine.

In regards to the Tokina 11 - 16 issue with infinity focus on the BMCC, I have noticed you can achieve infinity focus when zoomed in at 16mm. Maybe someone else can confirm if this is the case?

This has been discussed at length in the Tokina thread here: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=3807

15mm Zeiss Distagon anyone?

or the 18mm version?

Hi Christine (or any other BMD folks who are lurking):

Please make this new lens compatibility list thread a sticky at the top of the forum.

EDIT: Done. Thanks, Christine!

Sigma F 28-105 2.8-4 (with nikon adapter) ok

Hey randy,
you said your EFS 10-22 is working ?
it never works on my camera ? same with efs 18-135

Question: Does Canon periodically issue firmware updates for their lenses? If so, are you and Randy running the same lens firmware version & BMCC firmware v1.2?

I'm interested in possibly getting a Canon EFS 10-22mm for my BMCC, so I'd love to know what's up with that combination. Cheers.

P.S.: This raises a related question: Is it possible to update Canon lens firmware if one doesn't own a Canon camera?

cyber city films. Bernie wrote:you said your EFS 10-22 is working ?

Bernie, I stand corrected... when I checked it before, I never actually took off the lens cap... I just observed the screen display change the f-stop number.

I just double-checked it, and you are correct... the actual exposure does not change, although the displayed f-stop does. My bad; I was just too eager to post. :-[

Well, that's grim... bit by the no-aperture-ring bug! I was counting on that wide angle, too... still useable with a ND, but...

Bugger was hoping there was a trick to get to work
am stuck using an old 50mm 1.8 as my wide as the L 17-40 and 18-135 doesn't work
think it's time to start saving for zeiss..

is there a chance of firmware fixing this issue ?

This is very bad news for me. I just ordered the 10 -22. Do anyone have a working Canon 10-22??

Thanks. But this list is for Electronically controlled EF mount lenses.

Hey funny thing is when you drop on a non working lens and hit iris, you get a flash movement in exposure then you can't do anything..

wonder if the lack of communication is solvable as it does seem to initially see the lens

bernie

I don't understand why some Canon EF lenses work and some don't.
Isn't there a standard protocol to follow?
How on earth can it differ?

Many hard questions this Saturday and I didn't even raise the one about the meaning of life.

Canon 70-200mm T4 L USM
Aperture display changes but iris doesn't move.

I just upgraded to 1.2.

Zeiss Distagon T 3,5/18
Zeiss Distagon T 2/35
Zeiss Planar T 1,4/50

All work flawlessly. The f-stop shows up and control over aperture is fine. Love the lenses.

I also have a Zeiss/Contax 28mm 2.8 with a Leitax adapter that obviously doesn't show the f-stop and the iris button doesn't work. But it is a great lens. Still easy to use as you do get to see Zebras, the zoom focus and the focus assist outlines.

I have tested my EOS lenses:
24-105/4 L Aperture not working
16-35/2,8 L OK
24-70/2,8 L OK
70-200/2,8 IS L OK
85/1,8. OK
Sigma 105/2,8 Macro. OK

Have some more lenses to test.

Thanks. Will add to the list.

Strange the your 24-105/4 L is not working. Mine does, as do others.

Is your 24-70/2.8 L a MK1 or MK2?

You dont happen to have a 10-22 to test?

My Canon 70-2000mm F4 USM F:1.4 L USM functions perfectly - the iris closes and opens as expected.

Now that's not what I wanted to hear!

Happy that yours is working ok but could do without it being a random issue.

Mine is not IS which is at least different to Bkdavill but if yours is the same model as mine then that's really boring.

It's working fine on my stills camera so isn't a fault with the lens.

Unfortunately, the Canon EFS 10-22 reportedly does not work. See:
viewtopic.php?f=2&t=4651&start=20

(Unless you're referring to some other "10-22"?)

Eli Hershko on the BMCuser.com forum reports that the Sigma 10-22 works for them on the BMCC-EF.

Thanks Peter.
I was hoping it was just some individual lenses out there that did not work but it seems to be a global issue.
Sigma 10-20 here we come.

I still don't understand why some lenses work and some don't.

Hi All,
I had the chance to test the following SIGMA Lenses with my BMC Camera with Version 1,2

SIGMA 8~16mm F4,5-5,6 DC - working
SIGMA 12~24mm F4,5-5,6IIDG - Working
SIGMA 24~70mm F2,8 IF EX DG - Working
SIGMA 50-150mm f2,8 APO EX DC - Working
SIGMA 17~50mm F2,8 EX DC - Working

Canon 135mm F/2 L - Working fine!

I reported the 135/2L as working on page 2 as well but Adam seems to have missed a few posts... ?

viewtopic.php?f=2&t=4651&start=10#p28976

Sorry lads. Updated.

Has anyone tested the other Sigma primes like the 30mm 1.4, 50mm 1.4, 20mm 1.8 etc?

The Sigma 30mm F1.4 works great

Coming and see, thank you. I hope to there to exchange with you.

has anyone tested the Sigma 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 II DC OS HSM?

Tokina 11-16 - working
Tamron 28-75 - working
Canon 10-22 - NOT!!!! working (Iris Control)

I have a Canon L 16-35 f2.8 Version I that does not work. Fstop changes on screen, but iris doesn't change.

Very depressing. Look at Tokina 11-16 for a wide. Doesn't focus at infinity.
Should have waited for the micro 4/3. Too many Canon lens don't work.

jfro wrote:Should have waited for the micro 4/3. Too many Canon lens don't work.

It's still early days. Now that cameras are making it out to a wider audience we will see many reports of issues that need addressing. Even Metabones took a while to get their software on the Sony E to Canon EF Smart Adaptor to work on many EF lenses and that was the only thing their product needed to do.

If we keep this list up to date Blackmagic will know what lenses people are trying to use and are having issues with.

All the lenses I've tested that don't work, the BMCC has recognised what aperture range that lens is capable of (starting at the correct minimum and going up to the correct maximum). So the camera is seeing and communicating with the lens, it's just not getting the correct signal to the lens to make the electronics execute the change.

Just tested two lenses…

Canon 35mm f2 IS - Aperture/Iris Working
Sigma 8-16 f4.5-5.6 - Aperture/Iris Working


I'll test some more lenses tomorrow.

Canon EF 28mm f/2.8: Fully Working - Aperture & IS - Firmware 1.2!

On Firmware 1.2

NOT WORKING:
the Canon EF 17-40 F4 L (moves f-stop display on LCD but not the lens aperture)
Canon EF 20-35mm F3.5-4.5 (moves f-stop display on LCD but not the lens aperture)

WORKING:
Canon EF 50mm 1.8 Mark1
Sigma EF 30mm F1.4
Canon EF-S 18-135 (60D kit lens)

To the fine folks at Blackmagic design.. I REALLY would love for my 17-40 L lens to work on my BMCC I purchased this specifically for the BMCC..

Love,
Bill

Please, what about with this lens?:
Canon EF-S 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Autofocus

Sigma 50-500mm f/4.5-6.3 APO DG OS HSM

Canon Zoom Wide Angle-Telephoto EF 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6L IS USM

I am interested in buying a zoom lens with wider range, they think of these? or you can recommend something similar?
Thanks in advanced.

Firmware 1.2

Canon EF 17-40mm 1:4 L USM. Aperture not working.

Tamron SP ASPHERICAL XR AF Di LD IF 28-75mm 1:2.8 Works fine

Thanks raitank. Nice to have the little videos too.

Has anyone tested the following Canon kit lens yet:
EF-S 18-55, 3.5-5.6 IS II
It was my Canon 60D's kit lens and is the widest one I have, couldn't find it on the list.
(PS I know it's crappy, but I'll have to save a while before getting a good wider faster lens...)

Thank you!

Is it safe to assume that lenses that where working with 1.1 will also work with 1.2

thanks

Tamron 17-50 VC is working. The image stabilization works also (when you record)
