Product Overview

Metabones Nikon G to BMPCC4K Speed Booster ULTRA 0.71x (Black Matt)

The Metabones Nikon G to BMPCC4K Speed Booster ULTRA 0.71x (Black Matt) allows a full-frame Nikon G lens 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 BMPCC4K Speed Booster ULTRA 0.71x and XL 0.64x are similar to the standard M43 Speed Booster adapters but the optics have been re-designed to optimize for the filter stack thickness of 2.4mm found in Blackmagic cameras rather than the 4mm of a standard Micro Four Thirds.

The BMPCC4K Speed Booster ULTRA 0.71x reduces the crop factor of the BMPCC 4K camera from 2.02x to 1.29x.

Metabones Nikon G to BMPCC4K Speed Booster adapters are designed exclusively for Blackmagic Design Pocket Cinema Camera 4K (BMPCC4K). They cannot be attached to any other M43 cameras such as JVC, Olympus or Panasonic cameras.

Provides a 1-stop increase for the camera over the lens's aperture range

6 lens elements in 4 groups for optical clarity as well as colour fidelity

Internal coating minimizes reflections within the adapter barrel

Detachable, Arca-Swiss compatible tripod foot with 1/4"-20 threads matches the BMPCC 4K camera height

Optical

Optimized for the filter stack thickness of 2.4mm found in Blackmagic cameras rather than the 4mm of a standard Micro Four Thirds.

Nikon G Lens to Blackmagic Design cameras with M43 mount, specific for BMPCC4K.

Increase maximum aperture by 1-stop. (with a maximum output aperture of f/0.9).

Increase MTF.

Makes the lens 0.71x wider.

Patented 6-element/4-group optical design by Caldwell Photographic in the USA.

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 centre portion of the projected image, the effective angle of view of the lens would be narrowed, creating an in-camera "crop factor." The T Speed Booster ULTRA 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.

Quality Construction

This adapter is constructed from aluminium for durability while minimizing weight and its mounting rings are made with brass to further prevent wear and tear and a detachable tripod foot is included and features 1/4"-20 threads as well as compatibility with Arca-Swiss tripod heads.

Internal flocking to reduce internal reflection.

Rubber gasket protects M43 mount connection from dust and moisture.

Aluminium alloy and brass construction with chromium plating.

Satin surface finish.

Detachable tripod foot compatible with Arca Swiss Style ball head or attach to quick release plate by a 1/4"-20 screw.

The tripod foot is tailor-made to match the exact height of the BMPCC4K camera body.

FAQs

What advantages does the Metabones Speed Booster ULTRA 0.71x provide for filmmakers using the BMPCC4K?

The Metabones Speed Booster ULTRA 0.71x enhances the performance of your Nikon G lenses when used with the BMPCC4K by allowing a full-frame lens to achieve a wider apparent angle of view. It effectively reduces the crop factor from 2.02x to 1.29x, enabling filmmakers to capture more of the scene with their full-frame lenses. Additionally, the adapter increases the maximum aperture by one stop, resulting in improved low-light performance and greater depth of field control, which is crucial for achieving cinematic looks.

Can I use this Speed Booster with lenses other than Nikon G series?

The Metabones Speed Booster ULTRA 0.71x is specifically designed to work with Nikon G series lenses as well as other Nikon F-mount lenses, including AF-D, AI-P, AIS, AI, and non-AI lenses. However, it is not compatible with DX (APS-C) lenses or any other lens types that do not cover full-frame sensor widths, as these lenses may not project a usable image onto the micro four-thirds sensor.

How does the optical design of the Speed Booster affect image quality?

The Speed Booster ULTRA features a patented 6-element, 4-group optical design that is engineered to optimize the image quality for the BMPCC4K's filter stack thickness of 2.4mm. This design helps to improve the modulation transfer function (MTF), resulting in sharper images with better contrast and colour fidelity. The internal coating minimizes reflections, which further enhances the overall image quality by reducing flare and ghosting effects.

Is manual aperture control difficult when using this adapter?

Using the Metabones Speed Booster ULTRA 0.71x requires manual aperture control since it does not support electronic aperture control or autofocus. While this may seem challenging for some, many filmmakers appreciate the creative control and flexibility that manual adjustments provide. It allows for precise control over exposure and depth of field, which can be particularly beneficial in achieving specific artistic effects in your cinematography.

What construction features enhance the durability of this Speed Booster?

The Metabones Speed Booster is constructed from high-quality aluminium and brass materials, ensuring both durability and a lightweight design. The brass mounting rings prevent wear and tear over time, while the internal flocking reduces internal reflections. Additionally, a rubber gasket protects the M43 mount connection from dust and moisture, making the adapter suitable for various shooting environments and conditions.

Can this adapter be used with other Micro Four Thirds cameras?

No, the Metabones Speed Booster ULTRA 0.71x is designed exclusively for the Blackmagic Design Pocket Cinema Camera 4K (BMPCC4K). Attempting to use this adapter with other M43 cameras, such as those from Olympus or Panasonic, may not only result in compatibility issues but could potentially damage the camera. It is crucial to use this adapter only with the specified Blackmagic models to ensure optimal performance and safety.

What tripod compatibility options does this adapter offer?

The Metabones Speed Booster ULTRA 0.71x includes a detachable tripod foot that is compatible with Arca-Swiss style ball heads. This feature allows for easy attachment to quick release plates using a 1/4”-20 screw. The foot is designed to match the exact height of the BMPCC4K camera body, ensuring stability and optimal balance when mounted on a tripod, which is essential for steady shooting in both handheld and studio environments.
