Metabones MBSPNFG-M43-BM4 Overview

The Speed Booster ULTRA 0.71x Adapter for Nikon F Lens to BMPCC 4K Camera from Metabones allows full-frame Nikon F-mount and G series lenses to be mounted onto a Blackmagic Design Pocket Cinema Camera 4K MFT-mount camera. While doing so, the adapter's optics help to maximize the connected lens's apparent angle of view while providing a 1-stop increase for the camera over the lens's aperture range. The adapter provides manual aperture control.

If a lens intended for 35mm film or similarly sized full-frame camera sensors is connected to a camera with a Micro Four Thirds-sized sensor, it would project an image larger than the Micro Four Thirds sensor was built to accept. Able to capture only the center portion of the projected image, the effective angle of view of the lens would be narrowed, creating an in-camera crop factor. The Speed Booster 0.71x adapter condenses the light from a lens designed for 35mm film or "full-frame" camera sensors and projects it onto a Micro Four Thirds sensor. This allows the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K with a Micro Four Thirds sensor to utilize more of the light gathered by a connected lens, which effectively reduces the crop factor while making available to the sensor an additional 1-stop of light for each of the lens's f-stop settings.

This adapter is constructed from aluminum for durability while minimizing weight, and its mounting rings are made with brass to further prevent wear and tear. The internal lens elements are designed to provide optical clarity as well as color fidelity, and a detachable tripod foot is included and features 1/4"-20 threads as well as compatibility with Arca-Swiss tripod heads.

Metabones MBSPNFG-M43-BM4 Reviews

Obviously Great

Bought this and the Lens Turbo II to see which would suit my needs. Lens Turbo II was pretty much optically the same (didn't really test CA). In the end I chose the metabones. The aperture ring just works much better and the speedbooster works with my aspc lens (sigma 30mm 1.4 not art) which the Lens Turbo did not as I stopped it down (vignetting over 60% of sensor) . Plus its a wider FOV with the metabones. Build quality was much better too. I really wanted the Lens Turbo II to work but it just wasn't quite there. Metabones gets my money again! Just wish it was cheaper lol.

Worth the price

Didn't want to spend the money but after I bought a cheap adapter and seeing the results, I definitely had to buy this. Not only do you get more light, a sharper image but it stops light leakage. Makes my bmpcc4k functional with my Nikon lenses.

Yes, the Nikon NIKKOR 17-35mm has an F mount and so does this Metabones Speedbooster. There is no vignetting.

Using a previous version of Metabones Speed Booster (NF-BMPCC) that worked on the HD BMPCC, I am getting extreme vignetting when using Nikon telephoto lenses on the BMPCC 4K. Will the Ultra eliminate this problem?
Asked by: Paul
Yes, this adapter should solve your issue. It allows full-frame Nikon F-mount and G series lenses to be used with the Blackmagic Design Pocket Cinema Camera 4K.
