About Metabones Blackmagic Cinema Adpter
How can you elevate your Blackmagic Cinema Camera's performance with legendary Leica R lenses The Metabones Leica R Lens to Blackmagic Cinema Camera Speed Booster is the key to unlocking high-quality, cinematic potential with your existing lens collection. This innovative and compact adapter is designed to mount your cherished Leica R lenses onto the Blackmagic Cinema Camera, seamlessly merging classic optics with modern filmmaking technology.
By expertly shrinking the image circle of the Leica R lens, the Speed Booster ensures a perfect fit for the Blackmagic Cinema Camera's smaller sensor. This reduction not only broadens your angle of view by 0.64x, effectively diminishing the camera's crop factor from 2.39x to a more versatile 1.53x, but it also simulates the field of view akin to APS-C or Super 35 sensor sizes, favored in the film industry.
The Speed Booster doesn't stop at widening your perspective; it also amplifies the maximum aperture of your lens. Imagine harnessing a maximum output aperture of f/0.9 when pairing the Speed Booster with a Leica R f/1.4 lens. This 1 1/3 stop increase in brightness paves the way for unprecedented low-light performance and depth of field control, giving you the freedom to create without constraints.
Moreover, the Speed Booster enhances the lens' Modulation Transfer Function (MTF), the critical measure of lens performance. This means your Leica R lenses will deliver even more faithful detail transfer from the scene to your camera's sensor, ensuring sharpness and clarity across the entire image, from center to corners.
For added stability and precision, the Speed Booster includes a durable, removable Arca-type tripod foot, providing a secure connection for tripod-mounted shooting scenarios. Whether you're a professional filmmaker or a passionate enthusiast, the Metabones Leica R Lens to Blackmagic Cinema Camera Speed Booster is an indispensable tool that promises to expand your creative horizons and breathe new life into your Leica R lenses.
