Manual Lenses on BMCC EF

Hello Blackmagic Family,

I have a question about manual lenses on the BMCC EF, can you use them on the camera or is it better to have the MFT? I would like to stick with the EF mount and use manual lenses. Can anyone chime in please.

Being manual lenses the case, you can use both. If you plan to use EF manual lenses I think is better to go with the EF mount version.
If you want the best out of manual lenses, I would go with MFT mount and get the Speedbooster, with Nikon mount lenses.
I explain: for example, the Zeiss ZF are all manual and will work on both cameras with an adapter, but there's a plus for the MFT mount if you add the Speedbooster in-between.
You loose less field of view, you gain one F stop, and gain resolution in the transfer modulation.
You cannot use the SpeedB with EF mount.
So, manual lenses work in both, it all depends on the lenses you wish to use, and there's a plus on MFT version when using Speedbooster and Nikon mount. And the glass made for MFT is closer to what the sensor size requires... If you invested on EF glass already then I would say go with EF mount. If not, even without the SpeedB you can get SLR magic or Voightlangers wich are manual, and great, and design for this type of sensor.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the info ! I know what I'm going to do now

Cool! what are your plans?

I'm a student do budget is limited, I'm going to buy some Nikon Ais lense and Canon FD lenses with the adapters to build my lens kit.
