Product Overview

Metabones Nikon G to BMPCC4K Speed Booster XL 0.64x (Black Matt)

The Metabones Nikon G to BMPCC4K Speed Booster XL 0.64x (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 1.33-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 XL 0.64x 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.

7 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 1/3 stop. (with a maximum output aperture of f/0.80).

Increase MTF.

Makes the lens 0.64x wider.

Patented 7-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 XL 0.64x 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 1.33-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 Nikon G to BMPCC4K Speed Booster XL 0.64x offer over using a standard adapter?

The Metabones Nikon G to BMPCC4K Speed Booster XL 0.64x provides significant advantages over standard adapters by allowing a full-frame Nikon G lens to be used effectively with the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K. It reduces the crop factor from 2.02x to 1.29x, enabling a wider field of view while also increasing the maximum aperture by 1.33 stops. This means that you can achieve better low-light performance and a shallower depth of field, which is ideal for cinematic applications.

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

While the Metabones Speed Booster is specifically designed for Nikon G series lenses, it is also compatible with other Nikkor F-mount lenses, including AF-D, AI-P, AIS, AI, and non-AI lenses. However, it is important to note that it does not support DX (APS-C) lenses or any lenses that require electronic aperture control. Therefore, ensure that your lens is compatible before use.

How does the optical design of the Speed Booster XL 0.64x enhance image quality?

The Speed Booster XL 0.64x features a patented optical design with 7 lens elements arranged in 4 groups, optimally crafted to maintain high optical clarity and colour fidelity. Additionally, the internal coating is designed to minimize reflections within the adapter barrel, which helps to reduce flare and ghosting, ensuring that your images remain sharp and vibrant even in challenging lighting conditions.

What is the significance of the filter stack thickness optimization in this Speed Booster?

The Speed Booster XL 0.64x is specifically optimized for the filter stack thickness of 2.4mm found in Blackmagic cameras, as opposed to the 4mm typically found in standard Micro Four Thirds systems. This optimization allows for better light transmission and reduces potential vignetting, ensuring that the full image circle from the lens is effectively projected onto the sensor for maximum image quality.

Is there any special care needed when using the Metabones Speed Booster?

Yes, to ensure longevity and optimal performance of the Metabones Speed Booster, it is recommended to handle it with care during installation and removal to avoid damaging the mount or the camera. Additionally, the rubber gasket protecting the M43 mount connection helps to keep dust and moisture at bay, but it's advisable to regularly check for any debris in the mount area before attaching your lens to maintain image quality.

What types of shooting scenarios benefit most from using this adapter?

The Metabones Nikon G to BMPCC4K Speed Booster XL 0.64x is particularly beneficial in scenarios where wider angles and greater light gathering are crucial, such as in low-light filmmaking, documentary work, or narrative cinema. The increased aperture allows for more creative control over depth of field, while the reduced crop factor provides a more cinematic field of view, making it an excellent choice for filmmakers aiming for high-quality imagery.
