The BLAZAR LENS Great Joy 50mm T2.9 1.8x Anamorphic Lens (PL + EF-Mounts, Amber Flare) would be able to mount to the Blackmagic Design Pocket Cinema Camera 6K Pro (Canon EF). However, it would be better to use an anamorphic designed for Super 35-sized sensors for the best optics and performance.

Asked by: Mic
Yes, the BLAZAR LENS Great Joy 50mm T2.9 1.8x Anamorphic Lens (PL + EF-Mounts, Amber Flare) would work with the Sigma MC-21 EF to L mount adapter. We would also recommend using lens support with this lens and adapter combination. Also, the DZO Octopus Adapter (EF to L) is a strong adapter solution for EF to L lens mounting.
