Which adapter should I get for Canon Glass on the Pocket?

Hey, super keen on buying the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera but I'm not sure which adapter to buy for it. All my glass is Canon, I'll hopefully be using my 85mm and 16-35mm on it.

I don't want to spend a lot of money on an adapter but I'd love to see all my options and which ones you guys like best.

Also would I be better of getting a lens that can go on the mount? Would love suggestions (:

Thanks!

I've been looking into this too, there are not many options to connect your Canon EF glass to m43 unfortunately.

As I understand it, you have only two options:

(i) non-active 'dummy' adapter ($10 to $60) - you can connect your EF lenses but you will have to shoot wide open by default and will have no control over aperture. You will also have no autofocus (which is fine by me, personally) or IS.

(ii) an active adapter ($600+) - for example the Redrock Micro active adapter which will allow you to control aperture but as I understand it, still no autofocus. I think there is no IS either but someone else will have to confirm that.

Metabones is releasing an EF to m43 adapter at some point which will make your EF lenses behave faster and wider lens but I don't think it's going to be an active adapter, giving you no control over aperture, autofocus or IS.

Happy for anyone to correct me if I've got anything wrong!

That sucks :/ If I do end up buying one I'll probably get a nice prime that can go on that mount then. Thank's for the response!

My understanding is that the EF-MFT Speedbooster will be an active adapter.

Not sure how well it will work with the Pocket.

The reason for the delay, I believe, is the difficulty of getting EF electronics to communicate to M43s.
It has been done for other mounts and should soon be available for MFT.

That is awesome news! I would put a deposit on this adapter today if it's active and it does everything else that the Metabones adapters do.

Is there a passive adapter with aperture control? Wouldn't mind trying EF glass on the pocket.

Yea!
There's a lot of us waiting on this.

Oops.
With aperture control.
