I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to M43 glass but I've been reading that it's more versatile in terms of range and other mounts. I have a lot of Canon lenses so I don't want to leave my babies behind just yet. After doing research I found this!

I wonder how it stacks up with the FOV on a m43 mount. can someone relay info?

The mount itself doesn't affect the lens' FOV.

To see examples of how a lens' FOV is affected by sensor size, refer to:

thank you that helps a lot actually!

Why do you have to leave your Canon lenses just by choosing M43 mount?
I can still use my Canon EF lenses on my GH2.
BTW that Kipon adapter the blades operate behind the glass and create bad bokeh

What are the cons of using an adapter like this?
Suppose that all my lenses are EF, but I have no problem controlling the aperture manually, should I choose the BMCC MFT mount option?

Unless you are deliberately limiting yourself with the offerings from Canon EF lens using the BMC sensor size you should always consider the flexibility of the MFT mount.
You should ask yourself would you rather have an S35 sensor size version of the BMC? The MFT fast wide lenses is the only option that get you close to S35 style filmmaking because none of the EF lens could.
