SLR Magic lenses and BMCC MFT mount issue?

Hi,

I'm looking at purchasing SLR Magic lenses for my BMCC; SLR Magic 12mm T1.6 Hyperprime Lens with Lens Gear and SLR Magic 25mm T0.95 Hyperprime Lens for MFT.

I saw on another thread that the BMCC MFT mount may have issues with them, either being too tight or too loose. How would I know if my particular BMCC MFT's mount tolerance, will fit the SLR Magic lenses well, before purchasing the lens? ...

I have a cheap Nikon to MFT adapter that fits perfectly, neither too tight nor too loose. Is this a good indicator that my BMCC MFT's mount will fit the SLR Magic lenses very well?


Cheers,
Jules

P.S. I have a Nikon G to MFT adapter coming soon so I can test that as well.

we should list all these MFT - Lens guides etc , started here and elsewhere....

Well it seems the answer is here:

SLR Magic tightened the mount on their lenses because GH2 & GH3 users complained they were too loose.

So maybe it will be too tight on my BMCC MFT?

I'm one of the ones having the problems and I've been talking to Andrew Chan the product manager at SLR Magic.

The 12mm should be fine, they beefed up the 25mm mount a tiny bit when GH users worried that they were a bit loose. I talked with Andrew friday and he just got some mount specs from blackmagic and they are working on the issue. I will post an update when he calls me. My 25 is so toght that it wont even lock in. I imagine not every 25mm and blackmagic combo will have this issue, i must have just been unlucky on both tolerance ranges.

If you are concerned email support@slrmagic.com. Andrew did seem to be motivated to fix the issue, he has been nice and helpful with the issue so far
