The Black Magic Pocket Cinema Camera has a MFT's mount. The lens works great with it. How can I get the OIS to work since it doesn't have a switch?

There is no power IS switch on this lens. That´s why it´s much cheaper than others. Some panasonic cameras can control the IS system from internal menus on REC mode. Best use is with tripod on BMPCC.

Yes, I have recently taken delivery of one and it works very well on my Blackmagic Pocket Camera. It was a good buy and the lens is of surprisingly high quality. It will become a niche lens in my MFT collection. Andrew. Cape Town, South Africa

I would assume so as the black magic uses a 4.3 mount. I have not done this personally.

The lens has no focus switch. Most lenses don't. Camera settings are used to control auto vs manual focusing on both Panasonic and Olympus bodies. What you may have read is that the lens has no OIS switch. That's a switch to turn on or off the Optical Image Stabilization which is built into the lens. Some lenses have a switch to turn that off, but buttons or menus on camera bodies will also allow you to turn on or off this feature. Panasonic typically uses OIS in their lenses to help you to get a stable shot at slow shutter speeds. Olympus has Sensor Stabilization to do the same thing in the camera body, not the lens.

No it does not because it's a cinema camera but it does have amazing focus peaking features that work with every lens. Popular opinion is get the MFT mount but I disagree - you can never underestimate what Image Stabilization with lenses helps achieve.

This review of the camera says that there's a special model of the metabones adapter made for the Pocket. Don't know about availability.http://www.eoshd.com/content/11347/blackmagic-pocket-cinema-camera-review-final-part

Hi NJ. difficlut to explain in words. there are youtube videos you can check. . 1. Activate the MF in the body 2. Pull the focal ring of the lens to MF mode. you need to do both.

Of corse, you just need an adaptor ef to 4/3 mount lens. I have one and it works perfect....is the best lens for the BMPC...

This lens adapter is meant to adapt old Lieca M mount lenses to a micro 4/3 mount camera, like the Blackmagic Pocket Cam. This Panasonic lens you mention shouldn't need an adapter to fit onto the Blackmagic Pocket Cam as both the lens and the camera are micro 4/3. Now, if you've got an old Leica M mount lens, this adapter works quite well: a nice snug fit, appears to be very sturdy. And having Lieca glass on the Pocket Cam is quite nice.

The EOS T5i appears to have the standard Canon hot shoe. This means you could use the PocketWizard PlusX or Plus III triggers. The TT5/TT1 series for Canon should work as manual triggers, but it's not yet clear if it will work as TTL (which is sort of the point for those units) until PocketWizard has time to test and update their compatibility matrix. Some Canon cameras have restrictions on functions with the TT5/TT1. Best chance for a solid answer on that would be to contact PocketWizard directly, I have found them to be very responsive both by phone and by email.

As already stated, it will work on any mft mount. Very nice lens, by the way. I've been using this for some time under a variety of conditions and have been really happy with it.

You will need a cord that connects to your specific brand of camera to the pocket wizard which will trigger your camera. Then you can hold the remote in your hand to trigger the camera. You have to use this cable if you want to trigger your camera by another pocket wizard. If you click on the pocket wizard plus III product here on amazon then scroll to the bottom to you see a huge table. This will show you which cable you need for your specific camera. It even has a link to purchase it there as well.

It definitely works with Canon FD breech lock lenses and m43 bodies but in manual mode-only. Not sure if this affects your plans for use with a Blackmagic camera.

You lose auto focus and most auto exposure. I have an *istD and the focus indicator works when I manually focus old K-mount lenses. I had to make some changes in the menus to make this happen, your mileage may vary. Otherwise you'll essentially have a digital camera with stop down metering. The camera has no way of knowing what aperture the lens is at so you need to stop the lens down then let the camera set shutter speed. Again, you'll have to play with your menu settings. Look for Pentax forums on places like photo.net. I think auto white balance should be OK. I use a number of old K-mount and screw mount (with an adapter) lenses. I've had a problem with blurring of bright objects with one of them (a Pentax 1.4 50mm), sort of like a soft focus lens. The same lens is perfectly sharp in a film camera. I think the problem is light reflecting between the rear lens element and the photo sensor. Digital lenses have been designed to deal with this. Be careful if you buy a screw mount adapter, some won't allow infinity focus. Get the genuine Pentax item. It works properly and is easy to remove without using a tool.

Yes. The black magic is an active micro four third mount and will work with all the features of this lens.

This works well, however everything is manual. I have a 28mm prime Pentax lens that I mount on my T3I & C100 for video. You may have to switch your camera in Live view to take the pics to get the best clarity. The mount works great, I have two more retro lenses that I will be using the mount for. The only thing about ring, one it is mounted, it's hard to take off your lens. I purchased mine around may of 2013 and I still can't take the it off. I figured since it's under 20 dollars and it gives my footage a great look to it, I don't mind purchasing 2 more. Enjoy.
