Get more out of your Sony FX30 and lenses by giving it a near full frame filed of view.
A focal reducer also known as a speed booster can utilize the bigger image circle of a full frame lens and squeeze it down to an aps-c or S35 sized sensor.

I love using my speedbooster on my FX30. I like carrying an extra dumb adapter so I can get extra range whenever I need it. 50 on a FF speedbooster, 80 on a dumb adapter. Two lenses at the same time

Nice utility! It makes the camera much more versatile. I see more value in getting an fx30 and SB over an FX3.

Love it! im literally finishing up a video about the exact same thing for the ZVE10. but I use it on my FX30 all the time, especially with a helios, such a fun look

Awesome! I'll check it out tonight! Definitely excited about using some vintage lenses with the speed booster.

Yeh man, I have been doing this for a while with vintage glass. I can basically have two Canon FD lenses with me, but they can be four lenses by changing out the speedbooster for a regular adapter. Love it. Doubled all my vintage lenses instantly. My favourite is 24mm (around 35mm with regular adapter), and the 50mm (around 75mm with regular adapter). So I basically have a four lens cine Canon FD kit with only two lenses. And obviously half the amount I have to spend on follow focus gears or cine mods.

Awesome! Thanks for sharing. I haven't tried this yet with my old Pentax lenses. I've heard conflicting information when using a metal ring lens adapter causing short circuiting on the speed booster connectors... What adapter are you using for your FD's?

@Djangounframed 2 ай бұрын

@@ThomasFransson I am using the Mitakon Lens Turbo Adapter Mark II from Zhong Yi Optics. They don't break the bank and there is no discernible difference in quality (I am not a pixel peeper though). I have the FD lens to E Mount version. 99 USD. I am not sponsored by them haha. I have one for M42 lenses from them as well , so all the old Russian lenses fit on my FX30 and I double them as well. Happy days.

Hi i use the same setting. FX30 MB Speedbooster, Sigma 18-35. I have often the problem that the cam switching between focusmodes MF, AF by itselt. Is that also on your cam?

@ThomasFransson 4 ай бұрын

I haven't noticed that yet. But have been on manual focus for most of the time for the projects I've used it for, run and gun docu. I'm on firmware 2 on the fx30 and updated the speed booster now in February. Can't remember the fw build though.

@@ThomasFransson ok thank you a lot. Could you share your setting on speedbooster please. Do you use the green or red one? Maybe thats the reason.

@ThomasFransson 4 ай бұрын

Red one, I couldn't get a decent result on the other mode during my initial test and it's been on red ever since then ;) which one are you using?

@IvanGorbenko 2 ай бұрын

why do you provide link canon ef booster/ adapter?// what would work for sony fx 30?

@ThomasFransson 2 ай бұрын

Check again, It's for mounting Canon EF lenses on Sony E-Mount Cameras - Like the Sony FX30 Like I mention at 03:42 in the video - For this to work you will need DSLR lenses. Canon EF lenses is by far the most common and the most affordable full frame mount on the market. It's also possible to adapt some other mounts to Canon EF mount and from there via the speed booster get those to work on Sony E-Mount. Like a lot of vintage lenses for example. So it's a versitile mount and that's probably why Metabones (and most other manufacturers of speed boosters choose Canon EF mount as their primary mount) There are a few other mount types available. But like I said - the EF mount is pretty much the most common option. Hope that clears up any confusion.

So does only work with canon lenses? How to find this to use sony lenses? Just to have more field of view

@ThomasFransson 2 ай бұрын

There are speed boosters/focal reducers for a number of different mounts available. But just like with adapting any lens on a mirrorless camera, it needs to be a none mirrorless lens. I believe the only exception to this would be that you can adapt Sony e-mount lenses on Nikon Z-mount which is also mirrorless. Canon EF glass is probably the most readily available lens mount on the used market and they can be adapted to most mounts.

It would be great if someone made a speed booster with autofocus that doesn't suck.

@ThomasFransson 3 ай бұрын

That would have been something. I have nothing against manual focus if I'm not in front of the camera ;)

Sorry to hear, but thanks for sharing the auto focus info. On the Metabones (at least the ultra) there's two separate modes for AF one of the modes didn't work at all on my FX30. Are there similar options on the Viltrox?

Good thing that sony images are overly sharp(imo)! honestly the reduction in resolution makes it look a little more filmic imo. I always slap a 1/4 or 1/2 promist on my sony cameras to take that digital edge off. With the speedbooster incould probably just use a 1/8th and have a beautiful filmic look. ❤

100%! I use vintage glass a lot - they render details but same thing here - not overly sharp images when not needed!
