Steve, my BMPCC Nik to MFT Speed Booster is One I had on my BM Pocket Camera, where it was a loose fit (on Pocket Camera), as some Pocket Camera MFT mounts from thr first rrrlzse were sloppy. My solution was to develop a replacement foot for the SB that would attach to the Wooden Camera Pocket cage, like their PL adapter does. This allowed the SB to be firmly attached to the cage, and lock it in place, no movement. When I got my Micro camera, the BMPCC/Nik MFT SB fit the new Micro MFT Mount very nickels, it was tight at first, but mounted without forcing it. After a little use, the MFT mount in the Micro Camera loosened some, making the mounting of thr SB easier, but it still is a firm fit, but not any tighter than mounting my Veydra Mini Primes, which also have a standard MFT mount.
Metabones countered the loose fit of their SB on the early Pocket Camera, by making thr MFT Mount slightly thicker, to make it fit the camera tighter. If you just bought one of these newer SB, with the beefed up MFT mount, it is not going to fit very well, there was a coup,e of discussions on this when the Micro cameras first came out.
Robert Noah Posted above his new BMPCC /EF SB fit his Micro camera just fine, tighter than on his Pocket camera, but still a good useable fit. See his post above. He did have to update the firmware to get Iris control.
Steve, Did you buy the SB new from a dealer, or from a private party? If you got a new one from B&H or Adorama or similar dealer, contact them about a replacement, as they sent you one from old stock. If you got a used one, Contact Metabones, tell them your Problem, and they will send you a new standard sized MFT mount, that you can use to replace the existing MFT mount on your SB, so it should fit the camera correctly. There are still a few of these oversized MFT mount SB floating around, but most of them should have been converted back by now. From what I understand, Metsbones has gone back to a standard sized MFT mount, since the Micro camera and thr newer Pocket camera’s all have a tighter, closer to specification, MFT Mount.
Sorry you are having an issue with the SB you bought. If you can return it, do so, and I will sell you the one I have, which is in excellent to new condition (on,y used a few times, and I am not using now, as I am selling my Zeiss ZF lenses), and I will include the Wooden Camera foot and the original Metsbones foot. I will even pay the shipping. This way, I know the SB is going to fit your Camera. Send me a PM with yiur email address and I will send you a couple of photos or iPhone video if it mounting. I will beat the price you paid also. Mine is a Nik F version, just googled your SB model number, and it is the EF version, so mine will not help you out, unless you want to use it to swap out the mount. Sent you a PM.
