I saw this yesterday but didn't bother installing it. They need to make AF work. Does IS work on 3.3? I'm guessing it does not.

Installed the 3.3 update and din't change anything...
Iris is still not working
I'm gonna try installing old Blackmagic update like the 6.1 (I now got the 6.2.1) to see if it works

For me 3.3 work ok with iris but IS not working again... so I roll back to 2.3 as the iris and IS is working. No reason for change.

I don’t think Image Stabilization works with the Viltrox and the Pocket 4K. At least not with Sigma lenses. I tried two Sigmas, and saw no difference between on and off.

Stabilization works ONLY with 2.3 firmware. Tested with a sigma 17-50 2.8 IS.

I just got my BMPCC 4k, with the 6.2.1 version and tried to use the Viltrox EF M1, and I installed the 3.3, then the 2.3 versions, and then tried all versions, and none of them work with the aperture on my Sigma 18-35mm and Canon 50mm f1.8 :roll:
Any advice?

I’ve updated to 3.3 but can’t control iris on my Canon 24-70 or 70-200.

Maybe the Sigma 18-35 that works is a newer version. If you look at the specs for the newly announced Metabones Speed Boosters for the BMPCC 4K, it specifies that they only work with a 2016 and later lens.

I own Canon 24-105 STM lens and EF-M2II, I tried to downgrade to 2.3 as well, but then focus stopped working - and I mean manual focus - as well as iris. So I'm back on 3.3.

Has anyone tested the Viltrox EF-M2 with the new Firmware 6.6 on the Pocket 4K yet?

What is the currently working combination? From what I read, the new viltrox firmwares brought rather a deterioration. I'm still on 2.3 and on the BMPCC4K on 6.2 and everything works fine in this combination (iris, stabilization). But now I want to enjoy the new features of 6.6 and wonder if the Viltrox adapter won't work anymore.
