Tokina 11-16 f2.8 Iris Control

I have done a bit of digging but can't seem to find an answer. Will I have manual iris control of the Tokina with the BMCC.
Any info would be great.

If it is an EF mount version then yes.

You can control the iris of an AF or AF-S lens using the <-- and --> buttons on the back of the camera. It goes up and down in 1/3 stop increments.

Hi John,

First can I say thank you inspiring me with your footage, to dive into the bmcc world..! (technically I believe you owe me £6k now - but we'll discuss that later! grin)

Can I just ask, as someone who probably has access to very expensive and fast glass - did the bmcc shoot well and did you enjoy working with the relatively inexpensive glass like the above mentioned Tokina and the Canon ef-s type lenses you used? Being a low budged shooter I'd like some reassurance that this camera doesn't only shoot/handle well with a £10k lens on it.?

Obviously the test footage shared with us shows the cameras talents - just perhaps a few words about the glass??

Thanks again,

You mean "EF or EF-S". AF and AF-S are Nikon lenses and can't be controlled via the Canon mount.

Yes of course, you're correct.

EF or EF-S !!

Thanks for the info John, I'm down in Kiama just south of you. I have pre- ordered and paid for my camera and would love to catch up at some point for a chat (after delivery of course) if you have any time free.

Thanks again

I intentionally went with the Nikon mount 11-16 so that I would have a smooth iris (using Novoflex adapter) rather than 1/3 stop jumps.

Hello John,

How can we have a reference of what f / stop is the iris?

For example, to turn on the camera is f/5.6?

Greetings and congratulations on your work from Mexico.
