The Pocket CC - like all BMD cameras - does not control zoom or focus at all, and aperture can only be set electronically before recording. So there is not much activity through the "active" mft mount anyway, yet at least it provides power to in-lens stabilisers and - hopefully - motorized powerzooms. You may loose part or all of this functionality depending on the type of EF-adapter you use.
also i have a tokina 16-28mm lens that i use...what is the crop factor on the pocket cam? what will my lens become then? and is this too zoomed in even at 16mm for filmmaking? or is is seen as acceptable.
Crop factor is 2.88, so your lens will look like a 46-80 mm lens. If that's acceptable for your filmmaking needs is totally up to you - personally i'd at least add a wider prime lens, maybe a 12 mm (looks like 35 mm), or better something below 10 mm (looks like 29 mm), if you can afford it.
