Over the past 2 or 3 years I've learnt so much from you, and I've never regretted any buys I've made based on your reviews....My speed booster s is arriving tomorrow, and CAN'T WAIT!!......Thank you soooo much, for everything.

Yo tom, ive used this speedbooster for a few days now, it works great with all my canon lenses except one issue with the canon 24-105mm f.4 . The IS wont activate for some reason. The IS on all my other canon lenses work great with the speedbooster. Do you know how to fix this? (ofc ive switched IS 'on' on the lens) . The aperture works with the lens, only IS doesnt so the electronics work. On my 6d the IS only activates when you are recording, that triggers it on the 6d, but recording doesnt trigger it on the gh4.

Or should I consider the 24-70 f2.8?

Thanks for your reply Tom...I really appreciate it! I'm wondering about the Metabones Speed Booster and its compatibility with the GH4 - I'm looking for a zoom lens with OIS for the Metabones Speed Booster. I've seen a video about flickering issues with the GH4 when zooming ( aperture fluctuates) with one of the panasonic zoom lenses. My question is this: What zoom lens (Canon EF) with the Metabones Speed Booster would you suggest that will still have OIS ( and all other features) like a regular Panasonic Lumix Micro Four Thirds lens? Thank You

Tom, Which one is better - GH4 + 12-35mm Lumix Lens or GH4 + Metabones Speed Boster + Sigma 18-35 ?? Full frame lenses give me better picture than Lumix lenses? Now I have GH4 + 12-35 Lumix

@aleksejsbozinskis4210 5 жыл бұрын

Speed booster actually does "light/image compression". As we know lens aperture determines amount of light on the sensor's area. If we project all this light on smaller sensor, we get higher luminosity on area unit. Thus speed booster effect... Passive adapters hasn't light gathering element, thus we loose part of light and also part of image.

@yankeetronaldo4286 8 жыл бұрын

Is there any other adapter apart from Metabones ? I want to use lenses such as Tamron Sigma Tokina and etc.

@CurtisWinsor 8 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the video - Do you know if its possible to use a third-party EF lens, designed for APS-C sized censors with the GH4? In other words, would a lens like the EF mount Tokina 50-135 2.8, which is designed for APS-C, produce a large enough image circle for the Speedbooster to capture and cover the m43 sensor on the GH4. The mount is EF, but the lens will not work for full frame. Thank you!

Hey Tom how are you man? I hope all is well.

So basically if you already pre own the canon or nikon lenses then you should get an adapter, but if not wil the voigtlanders 17.5, 25mm, etc work? I mean you're basically getting only 1 extra stop of light from the adapter+canon lens. Im not saying its not worth it but I dont have Canon lenses lying around and the GH3 was my first camera. What makes me interested is the fact you said these lenses are more sharper with the adapter attached. Also, how does the crop factor work? I know if you have a 45mm with no adapter on the gh3 its equivalent to a 90mm but what if you have say a 50mm along with the adapter? Any help appreciated. I wish I knew about your videos a few years back when I first purchased my GH3.

@JulianMakes 4 жыл бұрын

god this looks lovely! i'm totally late to the speedbooster party, but i recently dropped my GH5 with it's 12-60 zoom on, and unfortunatly ruined the zoom (very very upset about this - panasonic are terrible for spares it seems, anyway....), luckily my gh5 was absolutly fine. So it means i can look for more glass, i'm thinking of going down the Metabones 0.71x + sigma DC 18-35 f1.8 art (EF mount). It's really exciting that i might be able to shoot in low light at last. great review thanks!

There's also olympus, rokion, slrmagic, and voigtlander who sell lenses for the mft mount. Possibly more. :)

@yusripp 8 жыл бұрын

So if i'm right, The typical calculation for MFT was by the factor of 2. example E-m10 using m.zuiko 45mm f1.8 would equate as canon FF using 90mm F3.6. Am I right? So if I'm using this speed booster on let say Sigma 35mm F1.5 art with e-m10 body it would retain the focal length and aperture at f1.4? so the DOF would be same as the sigma mount on FF. Am I right? If that so, I would need that adapter as i'm DOF freak.

Hey Tom, this is a great review yet it leaves me with one question. There were two clips in the test footage that had extremely bad chromatic aberrations (2:41 first clip branches against the sky; 4:10 last clip, street light behind tree). Is this caused or accentuated by the adapter, or is it the lens you used?

I've spent nearly USD 500 in the Metabones Speedboster and I have to say I could have saved that money. It works well only from f / 1: 4 to f/ 1:11. At f / 1: 2 or less to f / 1: 1.4 only works well in the center of the image. At the sides and corners is very, very soft and provides chromatic aberrations. The extra stop is useless and is better to spend that money on a good native lens. I am outraged that Brian Caldwell told me that the problem is the lens Canon FD 50mm f / 1: 1.4. It is incredible .....
