M.Zuiko 14-54mm Mark II compatibility with BMPCC
Posted: Thu Jan 16, 2014 7:23 am
I purchased a M.Zuiko 40-150mm and a M.Zuiko 14-54mm Mark II for my BMPCC as well as a 3rd Party adapter. So far, the 40-150mm works flawlessly. I can control the iris and focus electronically and also manual focus. I'm happy with this lens.
I am having troubles with the 14-54mm Mark II. The zoom works most of the time, and I even get peaking on the screen with is VERY helpful. However the iris has problems. Sometimes it will just start shifting back and forth between a display of -- and 3.5, or even more wildly from wide open to shut. I can never adjust the iris via the keypad on the BMPCC and there is no adjustment ring.
My question is, has anyone else had issues with this lens? Is it my 3rd party adapter? It's odd that the adapter works for one lens, but not the other. I'm guessing the newer "smarter" lens is not happy with the adapter.
Can I get the Olympus M.Zuiko Mark II lens to fully function on my BMPCC?
Thank you for your help.
