You don't need a Speedbooster to try those FD lenses. But their viewing angle will get three times narrower on the BMPCC. For example: a 17mm, which is already super wide on photographic full format will behave on the BMPCC like a normal lens would on FF. IOW, it'll look like a 50mm.
The adapter you linked for 99$ will work for sure and have the precision we came to expect from Metabones. But if you just want to try out if you like those lenses on your BMPCC, you can find adapters that work for less than a third. Such adapters will not change the image quality at all, only the viewing angle.
That Vello Lens Mount Adapter is exactly what I was writing about, it contains an optical element. So, they are still around. I don't think you'll like the image quality, but it's cheap enough to throw it in the bin if you want to find out for yourself. But scroll down all the way to read the fine print…
Now that the cat #19 is out of the bag, test it as much as you can and use the subforum.
