Metabones MB_SPNFG-BMCC-BM1 Overview

The Nikon G Lens to Blackmagic 2.5k Cinema Camera with Micro-4/3 Mount Speed Booster from Metabones allows a Nikon G lens to be mounted to a 2.5k Cinema Camera and in doing so, increases the angle of view and the maximum aperture.

The Speed Booster uses 6-element optical design that incorporates ultra-high index glass to achieve ideal optical performance at the largest apertures. It increases the maximum aperture by 1 1/3 stops with a maximum aperture of f/0.8, and reduces the crop factor from 2.39x to 1.53x.

The Speed Booster not only increases the field of view and lens speed, it also increases the lens' MTF, or how faithfully the lens transfers detail from the object to the camera sensor. These increases in MTF are seen in the corners as well as the center of the images.

Built into the Speed Booster is a clickless aperture ring, a must-have feature for cinematographers, as well as a removable Arca-type compatible tripod mount.

Note:
Not compatible with the Blackmagic Pocket Camera.

Product worked like a charm.

increase speed, reduce crop

Expand lens options and get an extra stop of light. Good optics and well made. I use it w GH4 which is off-label use, but gives less crop and more speed than the metabones Nikon/MFT speedbooster. Must set camera to electronic shutter to use.

Will this work With The Blackmagic Pocket 4K camera?
Asked by: Reilly
Not that we are aware of, this adapter is specifically for the older Cinema Camera 2.5K MFT. Instead we recommend the Metabones Speed Booster Ultra 0.71x Adapter for Nikon G Lens to Micro Four Thirds-Mount Camera, B&H # MESPNFGM43B3. https://bhpho.to/2mFmebJ

question

Would anyone happen to know if this would possibly work on the Blackmag Pocket Cinema Camera 4K that is coming out in September?

question

Does Metabones make a product that will allow me to use my Nikon full frame lenses on the Production Camera 4K and the URSA while speed boosting and changing the crop factor?
Asked by: Basil
Speedboosters work when you have a small sensor, larger format lens and a short lens flange depth like a MFT or E-mount. (Flange depth being the distance from the lens mount to the sensor). It takes the large image and squeezes it down to the smaller sensor. In the process of squeezing, it concentrates the light making the image brighter. Genius! Why this was not thought of years ago, I do not know since it is actually the process of a tele converter in reverse.However, this process does not work when you have a larger size sensor and long flange depth like you have with the BM 4K and it's EF or PL mount. If you had such a Speedbooster, the image would not reach the sensor properly and thus is would not be in focus. I am not a camera designer but what I think would be needed is a BM 4K with a MFT or E mount.

Since I have yashica ml lenses can I buy adapter CY to Nikon that will go in between speed booster and my lens and just use it
Asked by: Enny
A Contax/Yashica lens to Nikon F-mount adapter in front of the Metabones Nikon G Lens to Blackmagic 2.5k Cinema Camera with Micro-4/3 Mount Speed Booster will allow for this adaptation to occur.

question

How do I know what my f-stop is?
Asked by: Ronald
You need to calculate depending of your lens.If you have a f2.0, the Speed Booster brings it to a f1.4 equivalent, which is your 0. Then from there you get f2.0 with F at 1 on the Speed Booster, then f2.8,4 etc...

question

I'm using this with the 2.5k cinema camera, do I need to power this while shooting?do I need to buy a power adapter to use this
Asked by: Anonymous
The Metabones Speed Booster is a passive mount. Meaning no power runs through it. You'll be able to control your aperture with the ring on the speed booster. Focus will be manual
