Vello says their (Canon EF/EF-S Lens to Micro Four Thirds Camera) will work on only specific cameras and lens. They have the original BM pocket camera listed but can't find anything on line if it will work with the BM pocket 4k?
Does anyone know? Does anyone use this adapter with the Pocket 4k?
I had purchased viltrox EF-M2 II Mount Adapter but was not a fan. B&H have the Vello on sale today for 99 bucks vs 299. Was scratching my chin about buying it.
I have the Sigma 17-50 and tokina 11-16 lens. I wouldn't mind for instance focusing manually with this adapter if I had to - I would hope I wouldn't have to deal with infinity issues with this adapter like the Viltrox.
Thanks for taking a look.

For $99, it's worth a shot to test it and return it if it doesn't work.

However, you'd have to be careful with it. If the back of the adapter doesn't hit the IR glass, the least you'd have is an overpriced manual adapter. The most is one that works with some lenses.

You'll still have to focus manually as the camera only has push-AF (no continuous). If there is electronic communication, I guess you could use that if you were interested.

I'd be more concerned with if aperture control will work.

[And I'd ask the official BM forum for quicker answers before the deal expires.]
 
Thanks guys.
Dealing with the damn optical element - :(
NoBro - yeah i thought just buy and return if not happy. I buy all my stuff at B&H and it always bothers me when I return stuff there.
I've been buying from them for 30 years. That's how crazy I am worrying about the B&H owner :)
Thanks again though.
