How to attach these two lenses?

PostWed Oct 30, 2024 6:26 pm

Hello! I have a Black Magic Pocket 4K and need to attach these two lenses. Does anyone know what adapters I'll need and where to get them?

You're out of luck with the Sony; you can't adapt E-mount to MFT mount.

For the Nikon there are plenty of G to MFT adapters, though I don't know if any of them provide autofocus capabililties or electronic aperture control, or VR (which is Nikon's implementation of optical image stabilization). On my Nikon F/G to MFT adapters there's a smooth aperture ring that you can use to control aperture manually on lenses that don't have an aperture ring.

You will need to decide if you want a plain adapter (which maintains the so-called crop factor of MFT) or a speedbooster, which will make your lens wider and faster but is more expensive and adds extra glass between your lens and the camera.
