Questions & Answers

Chad K : will a canon EFS 55-250 or 18-55mm lense fit on GH5 with this adaptor?
Tuan V : Can I use this booster with the Rokinon Cine lens ?JASON F : Yes -- I almost exclusively use Rokinon Cine Lenses, so they will definitely work.Tristan J : If the lens has an EF mount then yes! I use it with my Rokinon lenses all the timeANDREW R : Should work with most EF mount lenses. Some AF lenses may not operate properly however manual lenses would likely not be a problem.
Jacob J : If used with a FF 24-70 lens, would this adapter give the FF equivalent of 54.6-159 (MFT 27.3-79.5)? If so, would the lens still have the same distortion as it's original angles, or would it essentially become a true normal to telephoto lens?ANDREW R : From the manufacturer: "... the Speed Booster ULTRA m43 has a magnification of 0.71x, and so it effectively reduces the crop factor of mirrorless Micro Four Thirds mount cameras from 2.0x to 1.4x." That means you'd get a field of view equivalent to a 33.6- 98mm lens.

Good piece of kit, works well with GH4/5 and Sigma 18-35 ART lens.

Works well with my GH4/GH5 kit. Just keep the firmware updated on this and any lenses you use with it (such as the Sigma 18-35mm ART).

LOVE MY METABONES

The Metabones Speed Booster Ultra 0.71x Adapter for Canon Full-Frame EF-Mount is an amazing accessory. It not only allows you to place EF lenses onto 4/3 mounts but gives you a much larger Frame capturing input when you are recording. It practically transforms your Sensor into almost a FULL FRAME camera. I highly recommend it to all film makers that wish to keep their BMPCC 4k camera and really compete or outdo the artist who have moved up to the 6k. LET CREATIVITY RULE! Keep Creating and changing the world.

Great Quality, Very Tight Fit

Fits lenses much more snug than I imagined, to my pleasant surprise. I almost got the version with the added locking mechanism, but this seems to be just fine. Only thing is you have to press the lens pretty damn tightly to the adapter in order for it to turn properly, which personally I'm fine with due to the extra stability.

High quality adapter for GH5

Despite what some popular YouTube photography hosts claim, this is the correct version of the Metabones product line to use with a Panasonic GH5 camera and the Sigma 18-35mm and 50-100mm APS-C format Art lenses with Canon EF mount. Using the XL version will cause vignetting on a Micro Four Thirds sensor. I learned this the expensive way. As for its quality, I'm loving it. Lives up to its claims and I highly recommend it.

Does what I need it to, BUT...

Works as advertised and allows me to adapt my Sigma 18-35 to my GH5. Fits securely and gives me more stops of light. The one downside is that the autofocus isn't accurate. It's slow and continually searching. But if you're ok with manual focus, then it's not a big deal.

Truly a great adapter to have!

I really love this adapter! It really helps with the crop factor of the m 4/3 sensor on the adapted lenses. Plus it gives another stop of aperture which is great for low light situations and getting a nice shallow depth of field. The build quality and glass are really nice as well. The only things I'm not too fond of but not deal breakers are that the auto focus seems to be not too fast(a lot of hunting) in photo or video modes. Not sure if it has the latest firmware update so I might check that. The only other thing is some vignetting in the corners in 4x3 photo mode. Other then those not deal breaker things I would say I would highly recommend this adapter.

Meta- Awesome

After looking at other adapters and testing some, I wish I would have just pulled the trigger earlier. Adorama gave me a great deal and made the purchase worth it with a credit toward a trade in.

Great!

Just what I needed to get the gh5 better with low light. Nice sharp image, awesome low light, no vignetting or freezing as with previous firmwares. Autofocus works but slower than the already bad Panasonic autofocus.

Works great!

Works extremely well. Focus is faster than I thought it would be. Entirely usable with all my Canon and other lenses, including my 70-200 and even my 150-600. I had read it may not work with the latter, but it does.

Great addition to my Lumix GH5

Great addition to my Lumix GH5 kit. Metabones Ultra .71, Sigma 18-35 1.8 and Sigma 50-100 1.8 are my most trustworthy tools for documentary and sport Cinematography. Metabones Ultra's ease of use and reliability with most L glass Canon lenses makes my line of work enjoyable.

An amazing piece of equipment

I have nothing but compliments so far for this adaptor. It's light, well made and works flawlessly (in my case I use it for my GH5) I trade my Aputure DEC speed booster and get Metabone the minute it gained analogical features. Cannot be happier to stay out of Chinese designed and made products. Those guys still have some way to go.

A simple but amazing piece of gear!

It's really pretty amazing to think you can increase light collection AND expand angle of view with a simple device like the Speed Booster. I've been using it on a GH5 and it's worth every penny. It may seem expensive but if you already have a good deal of glass then think about all the lenses you WON'T be buying.

Great for using canon lenses

Bought this to be able to use the Sigma 18-35 art lens on the GH5. Works fine like a native lens. Focus's well. I like that I can go down to 1.2 aperture with it. Somewhat pricey but at least the camera thinks its a native lens with it on there. So it's pretty good.

Must have

Bought this to use on my GH5. Surprised on how well it fit into the camera. Easy to use and to attach to full frame lenses. Doesn't work with ASPC lenses so beware. Bumped my 4.0 to a 2.8 which was really nice and reduced the crop of the sensor for me. Buy one. Worth the money

Does exactly what it advertises

Great product. I use it on a Panasonic G7 and soon to be a Panasonic G85. I am a Canon shooter so it's very useful to adapt my EF lenses to the M43 system. The boost in speed, bokeh, and FOV is very welcomed for the M43 system. I used a Canon 50 F1.2 on my Panasonic G7 and the results were out of this world.

Best Adapter you can get for the GH4!!

I bought this adapter mainly to use with my LUMIX GH4 and I love it!! It makes my lens more wider so I can get more detail in every shot and it also allows more light to come in so it works better in low light.

It's the best thing like it, but not perfect.

Using this for anamorphic shooting. GH5 > Metabones > Nikon 50MM f/2.0 > Kowa 16H Also helps with slow motion. No noticeable reduction in sharpness. It jiggles a bit in the base. I've had two of these and wish it was slightly tighter, because the alignment of the taking lens is really important to the shooting I'm doing.

Needs further R&D

Did not experience Any perceptible gain in "speed" when mounted a Sigma lens to my Sony a6500. Auto focus performance in video is still atrocious. Works ok if you only want stills

Good but could be better

The Metabones Speedbooster Ultra is a great tool when it comes to keeping your EF Lenses with a Micro 4/3 mount camera. It increases the light it gets to the sensor thus not only avoiding the usual light loss that sense adapters usually have, but actually increasing it. It would be nice to see some features for remote control of the aperture and focus in the future.

High quality adapter for GH5

By Thomas D.

Despite what some popular YouTube photography hosts claim, this is the correct version of the Metabones product line to use with a Panasonic GH5 camera and the Sigma 18-35mm and 50-100mm APS-C format Art lenses with Canon EF mount. Using the XL version will cause vignetting on a Micro Four Thirds sensor. I learned this the expensive way. As for its quality, I'm loving it. Lives up to its claims and I highly recommend it.

Let the Speed Booster Ultra 0.71x Adapter unlock the full potential of your Canon full-frame EF-mount lenses when paired with Micro Four Thirds-mount cameras. This high-quality, innovative adapter is designed to enhance your photography by increasing the maximum aperture by 1 stop, thus allowing for faster shutter speeds and superior performance in low-light conditions. The adapter's 0.71x magnification factor effectively reduces the crop factor of Micro Four Thirds cameras from 2.0x to 1.4x, expanding your field of view and enabling a more comprehensive capture of your subject.

Crafted with a patented 5-element/4-group optical design that incorporates ultra-high index tantalum-based optical glass by Caldwell Photographic in the USA, the Speed Booster Ultra ensures exceptional image quality. The optical prowess of this adapter not only maintains but improves the MTF (Modulation Transfer Function) of any attached lens, promising sharp, clear images even when utilizing top-tier lenses like the Zeiss Otus series.

On the electronic side, this durable and compact adapter boasts seamless integration with Panasonic Micro Four Thirds cameras, providing autofocus capabilities that are both accurate and reliable. The adapter can be powered by the camera body or an external 5V power source (not included), and it supports electronic manual focusing for select lenses. Additionally, it offers image stabilization support and transmits EXIF data such as focal length and aperture to the camera, ensuring a versatile and user-friendly experience.

The Speed Booster Ultra is also equipped with a detachable tripod foot compatible with Arca Swiss, Markins, and Photo Clam ball heads, and it features a flocking material coating to minimize internal reflections. While it is optimized for Micro Four Thirds sensors, it is important to note that certain limitations apply, such as the need for modification of EF-S lenses and the lack of autofocus support for JVC and Olympus cameras.

Choose the Speed Booster Ultra 0.71x Adapter for its compatibility with a wide range of Canon EF lenses and its ability to deliver a narrower depth of field and wider perspective. This adapter is the perfect tool for photographers and videographers looking to leverage the quality of their full-frame lenses on Micro Four Thirds camera bodies. Whether you're shooting stills or video, the Speed Booster Ultra is engineered to enhance performance without compromising the integrity of your master lens.
