I'm looking into getting an ef-mft mount for my B cam and was thinking about the Kipon AF since I can control the aperture etc. However, I've noticed that a few months ago people were not able to use IBIS on their GX80s. I was wondering if this has been addressed and if anyone can recommend something that will allow me to control aperture and use IBIS.

(62mm to 72mm). Also, will it work fine with a Canon 70-200 (77mm front) & Sigma 50-100 ART (82mm). Body is Panasonic GH4.

Someone has a video here which seems to work with the 1.33x version.

GH2 Stills look soft (Tokina 28-70m f/2.8 + Metabones) http://www.personal-view.com/talks/discussion/15928/gh2-stills-look-soft-tokina-28-70m-f2.8-metabones Mon, 24 Oct 2016 00:03:00 +0000 jondshank 15928@/talks/discussions Recently I started taking stills with my gh2 in addition to the amazing video performance.

When I focus, whether through the LCD or LVF just before the image is in focus to my eye it looks soft and dreamy more so than out of focus, and beyond the subject it will start to actually look out of focus.

I took some when it actually looked IN FOCUS and I feel like it just doesn't look as sharp as my old Canon 60D (By quite a bit to be honest)

I'll post a picture so you can see. I shot this in manual, f/2.8 at 70mm on a tripod with around 160 shutter speed. I'll post a before and after grade.

Before: http://imgur.com/a/H3bPw

After: http://imgur.com/JjxF8ZD

Do you think this is an operator, lens, or camera problem?

Also please do critique my grade, I'm relatively new to all this.

Very happy with this film produced for an oil company to commemorate over 35 years of production in the North Sea, and to wish everyone a Merry Christmas.

Filmed with only a GH4 with speedboosted 24-105 lens and a gopro. (Had to travel light due to airfreight restrictions) No sliders, stablisers or even a monopod (deck vibrates constantly)

Even timelapse shots had to be warp stabilised to cure some of the movement (caused by crashing waves and high winds)

Hope you all enjoy.

I am selling my 1 week old Metabones Speedbooster XL 0.64x. Comes boxed as new and is only a week or so old. Bought to use for one project as client demanded we shoot with a GH4 with Canon Glass, and it was amazing. However, I no longer need the speedbooster as I prefer to shoot with the FS7, hence the sale.

I am selling for $600 USD including postage. Considering it's so new it's already a bargain as it includes postage.

I asked him to shine the lens through with a flashlight and it has this dust inside the lens which you can see in the pic. Can anyone here who has a good understanding of this check it out and suggest if the level of dust seen in the pic is fine for me to go ahead and wont hamper the image quality.

I have the SLR Magic 12mm lens with me which is a 24mm equiv on the GH2 and will be 28mm on the GH4 in 4K mode. The samyang with the SB will be wider (14mm on the GH2 with SB & 16mm on the GH4 in 4K mode and will be a F2).

Which out of the 2 is the better lens? I have the option of selling the SLR Magic to a film maker i know and the Samyang costs roundabout the same as what i am selling the 12mm for.

Kindly advice.

P.S- I have been recommended to go for the Samyang compared to a Tokina 11-16mm (EF) as they said It's sharper and has better CA control. Views on this.

Contax lenses to Canon EF + Speed Booster http://www.personal-view.com/talks/discussion/10258/contax-lenses-to-canon-ef-speed-booster Sat, 26 Apr 2014 09:37:21 +0000 spencerb 10258@/talks/discussions I have a Panasonic GH3 and am investing in some old Zeiss Contax Yashica glass. I intend to use the Metabones Speed Booster with them but also want to keep my options open in the future.

  • Safe Option 1: Buy Metabones Speed Booster in Contax/Yashica -> Micro Four Thirds mount. Connect C/Y Zeiss glass. Profit.

  • Theoretical Option 2: Buy Metabones Speed Booster in Canon EF -> Micro Four Thirds Mount. Adapt Zeiss C/Y glass to Canon EF mount. This allows me to share lenses with Canon bodies if necessary and also mount standard Canon EF glass to the Speed Booster as well. With the limited range of wide angle Zeiss C/Y glass available this also could make things easier. It saves me buying multiple $400 Speed Boosters.

Question is: Is there any reason NOT to do option 2? I know it will allow a greater chance of error in the adaptors, but will the C/Y -> Canon EF even mount to a Canon EF -> MFT Speed Booster? Is this entire idea completely stupid or have I stumbled on accidental brilliance?

THANKS!

Question about FOV and DOF in relation to M43 and metabones speedbooster http://www.personal-view.com/talks/discussion/6705/question-about-fov-and-dof-in-relation-to-m43-and-metabones-speedbooster Tue, 16 Apr 2013 07:11:12 +0000 andrevanberlo 6705@/talks/discussions I've seen a questions in the speedbooster topic and saw a similar question in a DPreview thread.

"Has anyone heard if there will be a Speed Booster for m43 LENSES on m43 bodies"

people say it can't be done because the m43 lens is built to cover a m43 sensor and this does seem logical. However (and i'm probably thinking way off here) the m43 has a cropfactor. FF does not. I always thought the FF lenses were so expensive because the entire lens has to be perfect as the entire image falls on the sensor. Where a lens designed for a cropfactor camera needs to be sharp mostly in center and not on the outside as that will not hit the sensor anyway.

So my thought was, if a GH3 has a cropfactor of about 2X, doesn't that mean that part of the total image is cropped? If so then i don't think that question for a m43-m43 speedbooster is such a strange question. As only part of the image actually hits the sensor.

So a speedbooster (i know, probably impossible) would then widen the FOV and increase DOF on m43 lenses and decrease the F-stop.

Off course there will be a lot of vignetting but still when i buy a 50mm lens for m43 that 50mm is what it would be on a full frame camera, we get a cropped version on the m43 camera but the full 50mm image has to be there for us to crop our image from.

In this video they do it the other way around: cropsensor-lens on FF camera

Could someone please explain where i'm wrong in my thinking?
