So I am curious then.. does the BMPCC and the BM4K PC have the same MFT mount?
Yes, they are all the same mount specificstion. That said, there are minor manufacturing to differences on the mounts from one camera to the next. But MFT mounts all meet the same standard, and a MFT lens from on will fit on all MFT Cameras.
Denny.. and forgive me if we covered this elsewhere.. but if you had the choice, would you go metabones MFT to PL with PL lens vs straight MFT lens? Why?
I use both, each has its advantages and disadvantages.
The PL Mount is more accurate, and locks the lens in place, which is good for Cine lenses with dampened focus and iris rings, eliminates and mount to lens movement, found in MFT, and all still camera, mounts to some degree. Nikon F seems the least movement.
Native MFT lenses work well on the MFT mount, since thy gave focus by wire, no stress is placed in the mount, so very little movement issues. Their advantage to me is, quicker to use, yiu can lunch in a quick focus, and in the new Pocket camera, use the touch screen to focus any spot on the screen you touch, fairly quickly, depending on the lens, some focus better than others. The best MFT lenses to use for video I feel are the Oly Pro series and Panny Leica lenses. They also,have the advantage of having OIS on the longer focal lengths, allowing better hand held shots.
The Veydra lenses worked well on the Micro cameras, which had a closer to MFT specification than the original Pocket camera had, any lens mount play was eliminated by using a locking matte box and 15mm rail support, which I use anyway. Handholding the Veydras also worked well, but without any stabilization, only with the 12mm and 16mm was I able to hold a steady shot for short takes.
Hope this helps.
