True. That wasn't supposed to be there. Fixing it.

I have a bunch of Nikon lenses, but I've only been really using my Rokinon Cine with my BMCC EF. I love them. My set is a 14, 24, 35, and 85. They're awesome lenses.

I assume you can use the rainbow imaging Nikon G adapter for MFT with the Rokinon lenses as it has an aperture control ring?

My BMCC is EF mount and I use fotodiox F mount to EF adapters on my lenses. For my gh2 and AF100, I use a fotodiox F to M4/3 mount adapter.

I would assume the rainbow imaging would work just as well, but I have no experience with it so I can't say.

Why would you need to buy the speedbooster and the nikon to mft adaptor?...doesnt the speedbooster by its very nature become the nikon to mft adapter?

Yes, but buy purchasing both, you turn one focal lengths into 2.

For example. 35mm on regular adaptor is effectively 80mm. 35mm on speedbooster is effectively 57mm.

One lens, two adaptors, two focal lengths.

Both are interesting. If you have a lot of Nikon lenses, the second option makes sense, otherwise I prefer the first option but you should plan on adding a 50/55mm lens when available.
