Q: 1. If I'm planning on putting a FD lens on the BMPCC 4K, do I still need a adapter or does the speedbooster act as both?

A: This Metabones Speed Booster Ultra 0.71x Adapter for Canon FD/FL-Mount Lens to Micro Four Thirds-Mount Camera is going to allow your Canon FD mount lens to fit onto the Micro 4/3 mount on the BlackMagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K, so there is no additional adapter needed.

Q: 2. Does this adapter allow correct infinity focus?

A: Just saw the answer No when responding to question below, about use on a Panasonic G1. While it's true that the camera will not auto-focus (at any distance) manual focus at infinity is done exactly as intended. Could Maria's mount or focussing screw be damaged?

Q: 3. What's the net weight of this adapter?

A: Around 65 grams

Q: 4. Will this work with the original Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera that has a Super-16 sensor?

A: Yes, the Metabones Speed Booster Ultra 0.71x Adapter for Canon FD/FL-Mount Lens to Micro Four Thirds-Mount Camera, B&H # MESPFDM43BM4, would be compatible for use with the original (now discontinued) Blackmagic Design Pocket Cinema Camera.

Q: 5. On cheaper FD to m43 focal reducers, there is a purple spot in the middle of the image if shooting towards a light source. Does this happen with this Metabones focal reducer?

A: The Metabones Speed Booster Ultra 0.71x Adapter for Canon FD/FL-Mount Lens to Micro Four Thirds-Mount Camera does not exhibit any discoloration or other artifacts. Keep in mind you are adding extra elements to the optical path that the lens was not designed for. You may see changes in quality, but you should not see that discoloration.

Q: 6. I've heard about the Version 1 of this having a problem where the glass of the focal reducer would touch the lens when the focus is turned to infinity. Does this one (Version 2) have this issue? I'm specifically looking for the GH4.

A: I haven't had this problem on my gh4. I use primarily vintage Russian lenses with an m42-eos ring adapter.

Q: 7. This speedbooster says it works on both FD and FL lenses, but other FD adapters I've tried did not allow aputure adjustment. Does this speedbooster allow aputure adjustment for FL lenses?

A: The aperture adjustment will be done directly on the FD or FL lens.

Q: 8. What is the difference between this version and the older MB_SPFD-m43-BM3?

A: The older model adapts to both FD/FL lens and the new one only adapts to FD lens.

Q: 9. Can this be use with any lens or just Minolta's? a href= http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/699815-REG/Bower_AB43MD_AB43MD_Micro_Four_Thirds.html/mode/edu target= _blank http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/699815-REG/Bower_AB43MD_AB43MD_Micro_Four_Thirds.html/mode/edu/a

A: Hey Joe,I have bought this adapter due to having never gotten rid of my Minolta 35mm lenses, and they work well with it. I have not tried any other lens, and assume that the adapter would work with any 'M' marked lens, but I can not be sure. If you can verify that the lens in question worked with a Minolta camera body, then it should work.That's what I know.Mike

Q: 10. Hello, will this work on the BMPCC4K? Thanks

A: Yes, it is compatible.
