@nobbystylus ....now we're talking. Let me know how you get on. What are you sticking it onto? GHx or BMCC?

@kellar42 the Sigma is amazingly sharp and with this combo I did not feel the need to sharp at all in post! All settings were down at -5. I just have the combo today. Tomorrow I will post a clip of another sweet combo. Curious who guesses which lens has been used then...

Here two small samples of the speed booster and Sigma 18-35 with GH3: both in low light with wide open aperture. All settings dialed down to -5. No sharpening or other post. Recorded at 50p and conformed to 23.97

@test1 you need to maybe google up the definition to "troll" as this is at least the second time you've used it bass-akwards in my direction.

Wow, canon FD mount SB sold out already. Was looking to buy one and use with my 28-50mm f3.5. With the SB, I can now get 19-35mm f2.8. Waiting to see some footage of the SB on an FD.

@Gerondo

Looking forward to it :-)

Now let´s hope Metabones cracks the issues with m43 / EF conversion. Not only to go with speedbooster but a normal adapter would be great, too.

For me, that would make EF mount lenses a little more appealing as many lug around canons and canon mounts still - stocking up on some great EF lenses for video would make "good" business sense whilst I can make use of such lenses myself.

raw, grading ... cameramen - film-makers etc aren't graders - that's a skill - a long time learning skill - that's why onliners and colourists earn a fook load of cash - let us not pretend that we can do the job they do we can't - sadly the BMPCC et al are cameras that produces footage that would go into post - it aint a pointy shooty baked in good times camera - it's a camera. Daily I see offline cuts transformed by graders into viewable footage - also as a mixer does polishing shit sound (almost 100% of the time now!) melding a deliverable product - do it 360 days of the year and then contemplate moaning about footage - the only seriously approached shoot done on this little cam is Frank Glencairns - shot 9 Peugeot ads on it along with Alexa etc and none of the suits had any comment aside from how did you get the camera there on the car - loads of writing and re-circulating ofquotes, memes and shyte basically - get out and do some stuff? If your lurking - shouldn't you be out making? Enter Burny Roads for his no compromise wisdom ;p If he's not trolling Redstan on EOSHD

@ahbleza To be honest it's hard to tell anything from this. Doesn't look any different from well shot GH2 footage to me.

Just ordered the Minolta MD to M43 Metabones booster. Can't wait to put this baby on my Minolta collection of lenses, especially the 58/f1.2, 85/f2 and 135/f2.8

Can't wait for my FD SB to arrive. I've got 7 FD lenses all waiting for the 'boost'. Also excited by the GH4(k).

M43 speed booster for Minolta MD and canon FD Releases! One of those days marked red in the calendar!

Correct me if I am wrong: it is not possible to have an adapter WITHOUT lens (lens=garbage) and WITH infinity focus to attach m42 lenses to Nikons, since Nikon flange distance is greater than m42 flange distance (the m42 lens should go IN the Nikon body). The flange distance difference is afaik 1 mm. BUT, wouldn't it be possible to create a special lensless adapter for m42 lenses to attach to the Nikon Speedbooster, since there is no such "body intrusion" problem? That would be an ordinary lensless m42 to Nikon adapter machined to make the lens go 1 mm closer to the sensor. Would it work?
