Is Blackmagic ever going to release a Pocket Cinema Camera with EF mount?

RedRock has one. It can control aperture electronically too. It looks awkward though since it's powered by a 9v battery.

I believe the Kipon might work as well. This review Philip Bloom review predates the Pocket though.

Be careful if you order that RedRock Livelens directly from RedRock. I did and apparently FedEx delivered it last night. Only problem is that RedRock sent it without requiring a signature and FedEx left it on my front door step (visible to a busy Hollywood street) and didn't bother to knock or ring the door bell... So even though I was home I didn't know it was delivered until I checked the tracking online... By the time I got to my front door it was gone...

So somewhere in Hollywood there is probably a Crackhead wondering the street with a really nice lens adapter...

With such a small sensor it does not make much sense as there are very few Canon lenses that are wide enough.

You really need fast lenses in the range of 8-25mm (similar FOV as 23-75mm on FF) Not many options in the Canon range.

That's horrible :( . Shame on RedRock for not requiring a signature. Are you going to do a chargeback/contact them citing non-delivery of goods ?

I contacted them and they said they contacted FedEx to do a "trace investigation" whatever that means. If they don't take responsibility I'll just have to take it up with my credit card company. That usually works well.
