MD/E-Mount Speedbooster - Modern Magic
This thing is magic. I wasn't 100% sold on it when I was in the research phase because everything I watched/read about it sounded way too good to be true, and I'm too much of a cynic to be that optimistic. But I eventually folded and decided to try it for myself. For context, I've recently discovered Minolta lenses and have been building up a collection. I have a 35mm film camera, but I also have an APS-C digital camera (Sony a6500). The vintage lenses worked and looked fine with my $20 tub...

Find the ultimate solution to enhance your photography experience with the Metabones Minolta MD Lens to Sony E-Mount Camera ULTRA Speed Booster. This innovative device, finished in a sleek matte black, is designed to optimize the performance of your full-frame Minolta MD lens when mounted on an APS-C format E-Mount camera.
The ULTRA Speed Booster boasts a sophisticated 5 element/4 group optical design, incorporating ultra-high refractive index tantalum-based glass. This advanced feature ensures improved sharpness, while significantly reducing distortion and vignetting, resulting in crystal-clear, high-quality images.
One of the key benefits of this Speed Booster is its ability to increase the angle of view and the maximum aperture by approximately one f/stop. This is achieved by condensing the light from the lens and projecting it onto the APS-C sensor, allowing the sensor to utilize all of the lens' light. This effectively reduces the crop factor of an APS-C E-Mount camera from 1.5x to 1.07x, producing a full-frame angle of view with an APS-C sensor.
In addition, the ULTRA Speed Booster enhances the lens' effectiveness in low-light situations and enables the creation of a shallow depth of field. This makes it an invaluable tool for photographers aiming to capture stunning, professional-grade photos in various lighting conditions.
Constructed with precision-machined brass and chromium plating on both the camera body and the lens side of the booster, the Metabones Speed Booster ensures smooth mounting, a refined aesthetic, and long-lasting durability. It also features a detachable tripod foot that is compatible with Arca Swiss, Markins, and Photo Clam ball heads.
Please note that while the lens will fit physically, automatic diaphragm (AE metering) or other auto functions are not retained using this speed booster. These speed boosters are fully compatible with mirrorless cameras housing APS-C or smaller image sensors. They will physically fit the Sony full frame mirrorless cameras, but the camera must be set in Crop Mode to fully support the speed booster's functions.
In summary, the Metabones Minolta MD Lens to Sony E-Mount Camera ULTRA Speed Booster is a powerful tool that enhances the capabilities of your camera, allowing you to capture stunning, high-quality images with ease.
