Colours in video amazing! Better and better with years (following you several years). Amazing theme of video with adapting efs lens on full frame. Especially liked video with 10-18 canon, it's opened for me best budget ultra wide full frame lens with IS
Zeek yeah it’s really good - the speedbooster slows down and smooths out the overly-zippy/jerky AF of the 17-55. Used beater copies are cheap. Just be careful of the glass elements kissing at the mount. 18-35 still my fave though with the viltrox.. well, it’s simply my fave lens full-stop! Will the 18-35 ever be bettered? ;)
Interesting, cheers for sharing! The IS is nice for sure. I have the Sigma 18-35mm also, it definitely is a nice lens. It oddly doesn't get as much use as my other lenses though. Could be the size on my small camera.
I was only using a mount adapter because I didn't want to spend on the speed booster if I could only use it for one lens. With this hack, the value for money of the speed booster increases. Thanks for posting this hack. Liked and subbed. 👍🏼👍🏼
You’re an absolute legend Zeek, the camera MacGyver! I’m just waiting for the day when you’ll figure out how to shoot RAW on something like Nokia 3310 or on a potato or something 😂
Thank you for the video. I own the EFS 18-135mm IS STM and love this lens. Use it with 7D. This is the best all-purpose walk-around lens that can perform any task. Attempt to mount this lens on a full-frame is a pastime for fun; not for serious use. I tried the method you demonstrated before but couldn’t separate the black part from the lens mount even after extending it fully. Didn’t apply pressure due to fear of damaging my favorite lens. However, there’s another alternative method which is easy to try and I have also tested. Just mount an extension tube (I did it with Canon EF12 II) on the full-frame body and then the EFS lens mounts nicely on it. Even then the AF was lost and the manual focus didn’t seem to work. I bought the extension tube for a different purpose that I practice sometimes. I own Canon 1.4x and 2x extenders both version III. They don’t attach with each other. So, I join them via this extension tube to get extra reach from my EF 300mm f/2.8L IS II USM. Thanks again.
One problem with this man, the glass from the speed booster touches the glass from the lens without the plastic.after measuring with a micrometer, it appears my lens sticks out a bit when fully retracted. This would mean something is keeping it from fulling closing. That being said- twisting the lens onto speed booster with it fully retracted could cause rubbing and scrubbing and damage. I think this is an amazing idea but only if you’re attaching lens witth it fully telescoped and not zooming into 18 where glass might tap.
Hi, I have just purchased this canon 18-135 lens to use with my canon m50 mark 2, and a speed booster, but the vignette would not come off, in mark 2 there is only digital IS enable, no enhanced mode. I am not sure if a regualr adapter will solve the vignette issue? Please help if you’ve got any experience on this. Thanks.
This video looked so great! The lighting is beautiful! Not over done. Like the hey I’m a TH-cam with cool lights look!! What camera and lens combo did you use to shoot the talking head sections?
big fan here got EOS m on the way was researching 24-105 3.5 for the price and to be able to boost. clicked on this video problem solved thanks for all the info👍
wow, never thought it was possible to get such quality out of such a affordable camera, I'm crazy impressed! Absolutely have to try out ML on the 5d MII. Thanks so much for your efforts!
Good tip, thank you. I got the ring out, put the lens on the speedbooster and the M50. It works, but there is an awful lot of vignetting except at nearly full zoom. :) I will try the setting you suggest. It will crop in I think.
Zeek u're awesome man! Never thought we can do that kinda mod. Glad i found this video right before i buy an EFS to EFM adapter. A question tho, how do u get rid of the vignettes? I use EFS 18-200 + speedboster. Thanks a lot man!
I got the STM version after seeing this video. Put it on a full frame 5DIII. Didn't realize the vignette would be this bad. Still will try the Magic Lantern crop.
@@ZeekEOSZ Got the Kenko that supports APS-C lenses without modification. Good image quality, but I'm confused on why Auto-Focus doesn't work with this lens when it works fine through the Kenko with other lenses. A question for Kenko I suppose.
Zeek, your content is incredible. Thank you sooo much for all your work. You've inspired me to start shooting again. If I can get remotely close to your quality, I will be very happy. I have the Canon 18-135mm Nano USM lens attached to the EF-EOS M2 Viltrox adapter on my Canon EOS M. I've updated the Viltrox adapter with the latest (1.4) firmware. I've also updated the 18-135 firmware (EF022200). For whatever reason, my camera doesn't seem to like this combination. Some of the time when I turn the camera on, the light just flashes green with nothing. If the camera does turn on, the vignette crop shows up at all focal lengths, the aperture bonces all over and usually the camera shuts down with an "Error 70" message, causing me to take out the battery and restart the camera. The lens/Viltrox combination struggles even worse when I'm running ML. Sadly, I was using the 18-135mm IS STM first with the same results. I just purchased the NANO USM version thinking that would help...same results. I've even tried this combo on my EOS M2...same results. Any ideas? Have you had to deal with any of these issues. Thanks again for your work. You have an amazing gift!
Try enabling the MF switch on the Nano Lens and turn of Servo AF in camera. This happens to my 10-18 with the Viltrox, but not the Metabones Adapter. Make sure you're in manual mode. You can shoot 5K FRTP, 2.5K, and 2.8K Modes and not get vignette. 1080 Mode may require a 1.4x Teleconver.
Thanks for the tips...it's working much better now. It's still a bit temperamental. For my camera, it looks like it helps to have whatever ML setting (2.5k, 2.8k, 5k. etc.) up and running with a normal lens without the Viltrox, then power off. I then install the Canon lens (with the Viltrox adapter already installed) onto the camera, then power on. My camera freaks out if I try to switch out lenses while leaving the Viltrox adapter on the lens. I will need to do some experimenting to see what works best. Thanks again for your help. You are the man! FYI...I noticed you purchased the BMPCC 6K recently. I hope your M cameras don't get neglected too much :-)
Thanks for your input re this lens, that second hand one I had before was faulty, so I bought a new one, with power zoom module as well.. works like a charm with Fringer Pro 2 XF converter on Fuji X-T4 camera. Will be doing a comparassing with this lens and Fuji XF 18-135 soon, as I have both now.. Canon 18-135mm IS NANO USM EFs lens is impressive, thanks again Zeek
Hi Zeek! Always good vlogs, thanks and good luck! Does this trick work on 18-135 STM version too? I did it on my 17-55 without any problems, although I don't know how it will be on the full frame. Can it touch the mirror on 17mm ?!
Yes it will work on the STM Version as well. As for the 17-55mm on full frame, it might go as wide as 18/19mm, if it does allow for for 17mmm that would be great, just do a quick test.
I bought a Canon 90D a few days ago to replace my M50 and my three EOS M (two 4k modes, one of them without line skipping so it's much better quality, miniHDMI instead of micro, headphone jack, newer AF, lots of customization buttons, ability to turn off NR for high ISO, better battery life, and doesn't overheat as the M6 MkII does in the plain 4k mode), and that was a lens I had researched on buying for it in addition to the 18-55 kit lens, and then I forgot about it. So thanks for this video, for reminding my research a couple of months ago. I just bought one off of ebay (USM version) for $220 (STM version can be found for as low as $130). It's a good lens due to its focal length when out and about, and not having to worry to change lenses. As for the advantages of the M6 MkII over the 90D, the M6 MkII can take a speedbooster, and use third party cheap mirrorless lenses. Overall, the 90D was a better video camera option though. Only disadvantage it has is that it turns off its screen when a HDMI monitor is connected. That's in HDMI-with-menus mode. That's not a big deal, unless you want to set AF points through the screen. In clean HDMI mode, it goes into auto mode and won't let you use 24p.
Nice video man I have the M50 and want to get the 18-135 but will use it without the speed booster just the regular adaptor. I will still have vingetting or it will be fine?
Hi zeek, great work!! What do you think about the 17-55mm Efs lens? It has the same removeable plastic but was thinking if it would have more vigenetting than the lens you have? Thanks
thanks for showing us this! I had a question: I tried this trick on my STM version of the lens and put in on the Viltrox Speedbooser and on my M6 Mark II. However when I do this I am not able to get any electric controls with to the lens including manual focus. Is that what is supposed to happen?
It must be perhaps the firmware version of the Viltrox. On their website it may state a list a of compatible lenses, the STM version may not be on the list. But personally I think it should have worked. On the lens, switch to MF instead of AF if not done already.
Brilliant! Thank you so much for this info! One question though - when you have the 18-135 on an M50 camera, I see the speedbooster lowers the aperture values, but what is the actual focal length in that case? Is it still 18-135, or more like 13-100mm?.. Oh, and also does the speedbooster communicate the auto-focus signal well in this case?
Ok, makes sense. I tried removing that plastic ring today, like you show in this video, btw - it didn’t come out! Haha. I’m afraid to pull too hard to avoid breaking anything.
Hi thank you for the good review! Now i am trying get a set just like you shared. One question: which version of viltrox speedbooster i should buy? There is 2 versions now.
Thanks for sharing this - much appreciated. Is the Nano USM completely silent for video (in terms of AF motor noise etc)? Presumably it's much better than the STM version in this regard?
Only selected Canon Ef-s lenses can perform this. Some say the 17-55mm is possible with the same method. For you lens you can get an EF-s to EF Mount off eBay like I did for my 10-18mm.
Hi @zeek. Greetings... how about photography, does it speedbooster reduce the image quality? I saw some reviews about this lens & i thought this lens is not really sharp.. I have 18-135mm stm version, with canon official adapter & pair it to m6 mk2, it's only sharp at f8-f11 on every focal lenghts when i take some photos, not sure condition my copy lens, but on videos its no problems at all..
It doesn't. It's fine with the SB. Maybe you will get some Chromatic aberration. But it will vignette at all focal lengths for photo. Video is fine with digital IS.
what's up ZEEK! How ya doin today? Just tried this on my 5D MKIII and of course it works but the vignetting is constant throughout the range. Is using Magic Lantern the only solution via the 2.8k setting?
Get a cheap 1.4x Kenko EF Teleconverter and it will work throughout every zoom range. I do this on my 5D2. Crop modes on full frame cameras are the way to go with this Aps-c lens. 😎🤘🎥🔥
Cheers Paul! I'm still experimenting with different Picture Profiles & setups. I used the Panasonic S5 in Landscape Mode lol and a Godox SL60 120cm Lightbox.
@@dadadadadadadadadadadada Talking heads have been done on the Panasonic S5 for the last few Vids. It's my YT Camera. The EOS M is what I prefer to use for the Cinematic Raw stuff.
This is fab Zeek. I’ve got an old 17-85mm EFS lens. The plastic cover came off easily just as you demonstrated. Considering buying a speed booster for my EOS M. Should work ok right?
Awesome, that's good news! Hidden gems ey? Apparently the Canon 17-55mm F2.8 can doo the same to. As for your lens, it will work with the Speedbooster and the crop modes, as for 1080 mode I'm not sure, most likely not. The 10-18mm and the speedbooster works fine from 14mm up and no vignette with the Speedbooster.
ปีที่แล้ว
I have the same !! Does the stab of the Lens 17-85 works with your viltrox speedbooster ?
With the 250 lens you need a seperate mount. I've done a video about this for that lens. Quality is very good. I use a 1.4x Teleconverter, even that's fine.
Hey Zeek! This is amazing!!! Quick question, when your shoot do you expose to the right? Or do you try to make it look as good as possible in the viewfinder? Does color profile matter? I’ve been trying to shoot but I keep getting a lot of noise.
I just always keep an eye on the EV (Exposure Value) and keep it between 1-0.1. Sometimes it's 0.7, 0.3, 0.9 etc...Exposing to the right should give the the best results, but then again, this is a 11.2 Stop DR Camera, so sacrifices will have to be maded whether the shadows or the highlights. Color profile doesn't matter, I use Neutral or sometimes Lightform N.
@@jaysnappsmediallc I'm personally not a fan of the EOS M Kit Lenses, I prefer 7Artisans. I have the Sigma 18-35mm, It's nice, don't know much about the 16mm F1.4. I personally really enjoy using IS Lenses more these days. If You can get the Canon 24-70mm F4 L It's a nice lens. There is also the Canon 17-55mm f2.8 IS or Sigma 17-50mm f2.8 OS, nice lenses with IS.
Just got this setup in and tried it out on the EOS M. Having multiple issues with the speed booster not reporting the correct mm/f stop to the camera. Updated the viltrox firmware but still having those issues. Additionally, 2.5k raw doesn’t work if AF is engaged. Have you run into any issues like this? Thanks Zeek for all your awesome vids!
Yeah AF is always disabled in 2.5K. Try also switch to MF on the lens. For photo MF should be fine. With the Speedbooster you're getting a wider field of view so if you're at 18mm it will give you wider by 0.71x.
@@ZeekEOSZ Okay, so MF on the lens. That's cool. As for Magic Lantern, shouldn't it be reporting around 12/13mm and f2.5/f2.8 if the speedbooster is working correctly? That's the thing that I'm stuck on currently. Maybe this part doesn't matter as much, but I want to make sure that the Viltrox is passing info correctly when passing through to the EOS M.
@@ZeekEOSZ Yep. ML is reporting 18mm and f3.5 as if it was just passing straight through the viltrox (eos-m2). Only on one occasion did it report f/2.5 but still 18mm haha. I’ll report back in the morning with some fresh batteries, maybe that’s the issue.
I used the speed booster for my M50 markII on a 85mm and 50mm canon f1.8 for night time photography unfortunately the images are really soft and it is hard to handle the noise in post. I think i prefer sharper images with more noise at f1.8 rather than less noise but softer images ar f1.2. Btw i just started photography about a month ago... Maybe im doing something wrong.
Hi, when you tried this with a canon 18-135 plus speed booster, does it not show any vignette? Because I cannot seem to resolve the issue with the vignette. Please help.😢
Hey Zeek, great video! But I think i didnt understand one thing...can't you just replace the back of this lens, like you did with the 10-18 mm, to fit in a full-frame camera body? Thanks in advance
Hi sir, what if eos m6 run with this mod, does it have vignette all across the focal length, btw love all your vid, currently im using m6, with no magic lantern...million thanks
Oh my daaaaayyyyyyyyyssssssssss!!! I mean this isn’t lens I’ve wanted to use of even own. But still that was krazy!! I want to know if I can do this with my Sigma 17-50 F2.8. Can you please do a video on that? Thanks mate!
@@ZeekEOSZ oh yes I do of course as I own both. But I just wanted to get rid of the crazy vignette but I just check done this you can take of the back piece like the lens you present for the sigma version 😕 please let me know if you have insight thanks
@Samar Ali Khan with the m50, shooting 4k + speedbooster is fine, but 1080P you will need to enable Digital IS or Enhanced to remove vignette. As for photos, you will need a 1.4x EF Teleconverter. I use Kenko 1.4x EF Teleconverter.
Please help me with the math! In 5K Anamorphic the crop factor with the Eos M is 2x? With speedbooster the equivalent crop factor is 1.42x in this mode. Which means the 18-135 lens will be 26-190 T2.5-T4 ekv?
Hey sir, m planning to get this lens for video shooting but m confused if i should but stm or the nano usm version coz the price vary a lot, so which one to buy for both the photo and the video sir, i prefer the video most
speed booster reduce focal length is 0.071, crop ratio 1.6. the speedbooter on canon APSC 0.71*1.6=1.136 xFF. Is vignetting on FF+ Canon 18-135mm so little?
There will be very obvious vignette on FF, unless you use a 1.4x Teleconverter. I use magic lantern which allows 2x crop on the 5D2 for Video, so it's fine there. A 1.4x Teleconverter will be fine for photos & video on FF Cameras.
@@ZeekEOSZ Thank you very much! I have ordered 18-135 is (not nano usm), will try it and see if it is the same! Never used magic lantern before, can't wait to try it out!
You'll love it! Cheers 😎🙌🎥🔥 If you want to use full frame, you can also use a Canon EF 1.4x Teleconverter and shoot both 1080 video and photo with no vignette.

@@ZeekEOSZ if i could send to you, i would. but i guess that if you really need image stabilized, i would rather choose 24-70 with speedbooster. speedbooster is a godsend

In clean HDMI mode, it goes into auto mode and won't let you use 24p.
Congrats with the Canon 90D, it's a good camera. With this lens, it will be an autofocus champion! 🎥🏁😎👍
On my R6 it crops into 3408 x 2272 which is 7.7MP and just under 4K. I'll try the 10-18 and 55-250 when the adaptors arrive. Great videos Zeek.
Nice one! 😎👌
Great video, thanks! Just a question, is the autofocus still working after the modification? Cheers!
good job, good video. very interesting how it works with room light for vlogging or food video
Thank you, yes for sure! 😎👍
Nice video man I have the M50 and want to get the 18-135 but will use it without the speed booster just the regular adaptor. I will still have vingetting or it will be fine?
Nope all will be fine. In 1080 mode use IS Enhanced, 4K not needed all is fine.
Hi zeek, great work!! What do you think about the 17-55mm Efs lens? It has the same removeable plastic but was thinking if it would have more vigenetting than the lens you have? Thanks
It wll be fine on the M50/EOS M with ML for sure! Great lens ;) Vignette shouldn't be there for video, only photo.
The videos are getting so good! Btw the 70:200 fits the speed booster and it's amazing
Cheers! Which 70-200 is that, the L?
This is so amazing Zeek, thanks so much. A quick question, how do I get rid of the image in a round shape.
NO WAYY I WANNA GET THIS LENS MY GIRLFRIEND HAS IT AND ITS MY FAVOURITE LENS TO USE!!!
It's a beast. And for heavy crop cameras, this with a speedbooster will make a lot of sense. 🎥🔥😎👌
Sir what is speedbooster, what does it do with this lens?
thanks for showing us this! I had a question: I tried this trick on my STM version of the lens and put in on the Viltrox Speedbooser and on my M6 Mark II. However when I do this I am not able to get any electric controls with to the lens including manual focus. Is that what is supposed to happen?
It must be perhaps the firmware version of the Viltrox. On their website it may state a list a of compatible lenses, the STM version may not be on the list. But personally I think it should have worked. On the lens, switch to MF instead of AF if not done already.
Any luck? Im trying to try this one into the STM version and I have Canon M6 Mark II as well.
Brilliant! Thank you so much for this info! One question though - when you have the 18-135 on an M50 camera, I see the speedbooster lowers the aperture values, but what is the actual focal length in that case? Is it still 18-135, or more like 13-100mm?..
Oh, and also does the speedbooster communicate the auto-focus signal well in this case?
M50 with 1080 has a 1.6x crop so the Speedbooster reduces it by 0.71x
In 4k it's a 2.56x crop, so it's also reduced by 0.71x
Ok, makes sense. I tried removing that plastic ring today, like you show in this video, btw - it didn’t come out! Haha. I’m afraid to pull too hard to avoid breaking anything.
@@TheMeridianas Did you zoom the lens all the way out before pulling? Takes a second to put back.
@@ZeekEOSZ oh yeah, all the way out to 135, but that plastic thing is stuck in there, so I’m afraid to pull too hard…
@@TheMeridianas same with you. It is too hard to pull and some screws are tightening that plastic , is it safe to remove?
Hi thank you for the good review! Now i am trying get a set just like you shared. One question: which version of viltrox speedbooster i should buy? There is 2 versions now.
What exact speed booster did you use when using the M50
Viltrox M2 EF to EOS M Speedbooster.
@@ZeekEOSZ thank you, Amazing video ! ❤️
@@wanderersdirect.9133
No problem 👍 Love this lens 🎥🔥
Hi Zeek, I'm just wondering if EF-S lenses hacked this way with speedbooster have vignetting in 1080 mode on EOS M?
Thanks For This ZEEk.
My question is, will the AF work perfectly when using for photography.??
Yep it will
Thanks for sharing this - much appreciated. Is the Nano USM completely silent for video (in terms of AF motor noise etc)? Presumably it's much better than the STM version in this regard?
It is silent. It's not much better tbh, optically the same.
Hmm, I tried with an old 18-55. The ring seems to be stuck and I can't get it off. Maybe those ones were reinforced with a screw or something?
Only selected Canon Ef-s lenses can perform this. Some say the 17-55mm is possible with the same method.
For you lens you can get an EF-s to EF Mount off eBay like I did for my 10-18mm.
Awesome video - have you got a link to the Vitrox speedbooster your using - I have an M50 and the same Nano lens cheers
Nice! 👌

5:58 did you capture all that with handheld or with tripod/gimbal? It look amazingly good and stable!
Hi @zeek. Greetings... how about photography, does it speedbooster reduce the image quality? I saw some reviews about this lens & i thought this lens is not really sharp..
I have 18-135mm stm version, with canon official adapter & pair it to m6 mk2, it's only sharp at f8-f11 on every focal lenghts when i take some photos, not sure condition my copy lens, but on videos its no problems at all..
It doesn't. It's fine with the SB. Maybe you will get some Chromatic aberration. But it will vignette at all focal lengths for photo. Video is fine with digital IS.
what's up ZEEK! How ya doin today? Just tried this on my 5D MKIII and of course it works but the vignetting is constant throughout the range. Is using Magic Lantern the only solution via the 2.8k setting?
Get a cheap 1.4x Kenko EF Teleconverter and it will work throughout every zoom range. I do this on my 5D2.
Crop modes on full frame cameras are the way to go with this Aps-c lens. 😎🤘🎥🔥
Hi Zeek. Your studio footage looks great in this vid. What do you use here for your studio camera and key light?
Cheers Paul! I'm still experimenting with different Picture Profiles & setups. I used the Panasonic S5 in Landscape Mode lol and a Godox SL60 120cm Lightbox.
Love your work Zeek keep it going brotha, you are legend.
Appreciate it man 😎🙌💯
@@ZeekEOSZ what body/lens/ML mode have you been using for your talking heads for the last couple vids?
@@dadadadadadadadadadadada
Talking heads have been done on the Panasonic S5 for the last few Vids. It's my YT Camera. The EOS M is what I prefer to use for the Cinematic Raw stuff.
Thanks a lot! With the speed Buster you still can get f stops? Hugs from Lisbon
Yes you can 😎👍
@@ZeekEOSZ top!
🎥👌
would the glass be touching the mirror when it's at 18mm (for the 5d)?
The minimum it will go on my 5D2 is 19mm. It won't touch the mirror.
Hi and thanks for the video! I wonder does the canon efs 18-200 also have this feature? Thanks
Hello, how about the canon 17-85mm USM? Is it the same procedure? Just snap the rubber?
Doesn‘t the back of the lens protrude and runs into the mirror of a 5d? Thank you.
This is fab Zeek. I’ve got an old 17-85mm EFS lens. The plastic cover came off easily just as you demonstrated. Considering buying a speed booster for my EOS M. Should work ok right?
Awesome, that's good news! Hidden gems ey? Apparently the Canon 17-55mm F2.8 can doo the same to. As for your lens, it will work with the Speedbooster and the crop modes, as for 1080 mode I'm not sure, most likely not. The 10-18mm and the speedbooster works fine from 14mm up and no vignette with the Speedbooster.
I have the same !! Does the stab of the Lens 17-85 works with your viltrox speedbooster ?
@ Not got round to buying a speedbooster. Just the cheaper canon to eosm adapter.
works in the the 55-250? works with teleconverters(2x). nice content
With the 250 lens you need a seperate mount. I've done a video about this for that lens. Quality is very good. I use a 1.4x Teleconverter, even that's fine.
I am beyond amazed by how nice the eos m footages look can you please tell us what settings did you shoot in? 100 iso?! 1/50 shutter!? 24fps
Yep, 5400K, 1/48, ISO 100 always. 2.5/8K Raw modes. 24p.
Are there vignetting for photography at super wide? And how low can the aperture go now?
Yes vignette at all focal length for photography. Aperture goes down to F2.8
@@ZeekEOSZ thank you. At least i know now what to do when i get one soon😁
Len and compatible with Canon 5D2, right?
What about focal lenght. With speedbooster and IS enhanced, its gonna be like 15mm, 16mm?
Will the autofocus work?
Hey Zeek! This is amazing!!! Quick question, when your shoot do you expose to the right? Or do you try to make it look as good as possible in the viewfinder? Does color profile matter? I’ve been trying to shoot but I keep getting a lot of noise.
I just always keep an eye on the EV (Exposure Value) and keep it between 1-0.1. Sometimes it's 0.7, 0.3, 0.9 etc...Exposing to the right should give the the best results, but then again, this is a 11.2 Stop DR Camera, so sacrifices will have to be maded whether the shadows or the highlights. Color profile doesn't matter, I use Neutral or sometimes Lightform N.
@@ZeekEOSZ ok, interesting, thought i was doing that. Maybe it’s my terrible kit lens. ( ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ) what do u think of the sigma 16mm 1.4 for eos m
@@jaysnappsmediallc
I'm personally not a fan of the EOS M Kit Lenses, I prefer 7Artisans.
I have the Sigma 18-35mm, It's nice, don't know much about the 16mm F1.4. I personally really enjoy using IS Lenses more these days. If You can get the Canon 24-70mm F4 L It's a nice lens. There is also the Canon 17-55mm f2.8 IS or Sigma 17-50mm f2.8 OS, nice lenses with IS.
@@ZeekEOSZ thank you
I just tried this and the corners are darken (fish eye look). Am I doing something wrong. M50ii with 18-135nano and speed booster
Just got this setup in and tried it out on the EOS M. Having multiple issues with the speed booster not reporting the correct mm/f stop to the camera. Updated the viltrox firmware but still having those issues.
Additionally, 2.5k raw doesn’t work if AF is engaged. Have you run into any issues like this?
Thanks Zeek for all your awesome vids!
Yeah AF is always disabled in 2.5K. Try also switch to MF on the lens. For photo MF should be fine.
With the Speedbooster you're getting a wider field of view so if you're at 18mm it will give you wider by 0.71x.
@@ZeekEOSZ Okay, so MF on the lens. That's cool. As for Magic Lantern, shouldn't it be reporting around 12/13mm and f2.5/f2.8 if the speedbooster is working correctly? That's the thing that I'm stuck on currently. Maybe this part doesn't matter as much, but I want to make sure that the Viltrox is passing info correctly when passing through to the EOS M.
@@cameronchauvaux1580
Yes, what is your combo reporting?
E.g. @18mm?
@@ZeekEOSZ Yep. ML is reporting 18mm and f3.5 as if it was just passing straight through the viltrox (eos-m2). Only on one occasion did it report f/2.5 but still 18mm haha.
I’ll report back in the morning with some fresh batteries, maybe that’s the issue.
@@cameronchauvaux1580 wierd, yeah!
I used the speed booster for my M50 markII on a 85mm and 50mm canon f1.8 for night time photography unfortunately the images are really soft and it is hard to handle the noise in post. I think i prefer sharper images with more noise at f1.8 rather than less noise but softer images ar f1.2. Btw i just started photography about a month ago... Maybe im doing something wrong.
Thanks for this. Tried it out but autofocusing is challenged using the M50 Mark II. Have had to resort to manual focusing.
Hi, when you tried this with a canon 18-135 plus speed booster, does it not show any vignette? Because I cannot seem to resolve the issue with the vignette. Please help.😢
Can I do this and just use it on my EF-S Canon 70D? I like the lens enough to keep it but I need faster aperture capability.
Top! Thanks Mate 👌🎉 Hugs from Lisbon!
No problem 😎👍
This answers my concern about the compatability of this to my M6 mark II
Hi. May I know if we can do the same thing with the Canon EF 18-135mm IS STM? Thanks for you wonderful videos!!!
Hey Zeek, great video! But I think i didnt understand one thing...can't you just replace the back of this lens, like you did with the 10-18 mm, to fit in a full-frame camera body? Thanks in advance
There is no metal Adapter for this lens only for the other EF-s lenses.
LOVE IT! Thank you you just saved me few hundreds of dollars! Respectt!
Do you think there will be no vignetting on photos aswell?
Hi sir, what if eos m6 run with this mod, does it have vignette all across the focal length, btw love all your vid, currently im using m6, with no magic lantern...million thanks
I have the M50 & VIltrox adapter (not speedbooster) ..so i just plug n play ? or i need tu put out that black plastic on the lens ?
hey zeek, have you try magic lantern on canon m50? Magic lantern said that the downloads are available on canon m50
It might be just a demo, it's not available to shoot raw video unfortunately.
Thanks for the great content.
Does this mod works for photo shoot on m50 with speedbooster?
Will it vignette?
yes
If you just have a regular EF/EFS adapter to your Canon m50 will you need to take to part off?
Oh my daaaaayyyyyyyyyssssssssss!!! I mean this isn’t lens I’ve wanted to use of even own. But still that was krazy!! I want to know if I can do this with my Sigma 17-50 F2.8. Can you please do a video on that? Thanks mate!
I'm pretty sure you can mount the Sigma onto a speedbooster without any mod tbh. 😎🤘🎥🔥
@@ZeekEOSZ oh yes I do of course as I own both. But I just wanted to get rid of the crazy vignette but I just check done this you can take of the back piece like the lens you present for the sigma version 😕 please let me know if you have insight thanks
@@samartography which camera are you using?
@@ZeekEOSZ Canon m50, also have a 70D that I don’t use much. Thanks again!
@Samar Ali Khan with the m50, shooting 4k + speedbooster is fine, but 1080P you will need to enable Digital IS or Enhanced to remove vignette. As for photos, you will need a 1.4x EF Teleconverter. I use Kenko 1.4x EF Teleconverter.
Please help me with the math! In 5K Anamorphic the crop factor with the Eos M is 2x? With speedbooster the equivalent crop factor is 1.42x in this mode. Which means the 18-135 lens will be 26-190 T2.5-T4 ekv?
Yes about 2x. So 26-190mm F2.5-4 😎👍
Hey sir, m planning to get this lens for video shooting but m confused if i should but stm or the nano usm version coz the price vary a lot, so which one to buy for both the photo and the video sir, i prefer the video most

What's the usable focal lengths and aperture (not vignetting) in speedboosted m50?
While taking photos!
Photos aren't possible, vignette will be right through the focal range. For video it's fine.
Hi, sorry if this q already answered, im on m6 with the speed booster, am i will having a vignette?....many thanks
speed booster reduce focal length is 0.071, crop ratio 1.6. the speedbooter on canon APSC 0.71*1.6=1.136 xFF. Is vignetting on FF+ Canon 18-135mm so little?
There will be very obvious vignette on FF, unless you use a 1.4x Teleconverter. I use magic lantern which allows 2x crop on the 5D2 for Video, so it's fine there. A 1.4x Teleconverter will be fine for photos & video on FF Cameras.
If I understand you correctly, there will be some vignetting in 1080p mode?
On the EOS M yes. on the M50 no. if you enable Digital IS
Hello... Is it possible to change the canon ef-s 15-85 mm lens mount by following the same method ? Thanks!
Unfortunately not. That requires a new metal EF-s to EF Mount Adapter.
@@ZeekEOSZ Thanks and all the best!
Hello, Zeek! Is it possible with 18-135 STM lens too? Which one is better for M50. Thank you!
Never tried it, but it should be. 👍
Is there any chance on 5dii to touch the mirror? If you set it on 18 mm by accident for example...
Yes, it won't go down to 18mm, stops at 19mm.
@@ZeekEOSZ Thank you very much! I have ordered 18-135 is (not nano usm), will try it and see if it is the same! Never used magic lantern before, can't wait to try it out!
You'll love it! Cheers 😎🙌🎥🔥
If you want to use full frame, you can also use a Canon EF 1.4x Teleconverter and shoot both 1080 video and photo with no vignette.
hey zeek, do you need to put back the plastic to fit on an efs mount?
Yes exactly 👍
SuperUNDERRATED !
😎🤘
Good day, how did you get digital is enhance? I cant find that in the settings
How much vignette do you get at 18mm with an EOS M and speedbooster?
None when shooting in the crop modes e.g. 2.5/2.8K. For photos it will be noticeable
** should i get this mod or should i get sigma 18-35mm ?
18-35mm is a better lens. I recently sold it though for the Canon 17-55 IS.
Awesome! Can the EFS 55-250 STM be modded similarly to this?
It can't. I made a video about it, you need an EF replacement mount.
@@ZeekEOSZ Thanks. Good video
Will this mod work on a Canon M6 Mark ii? Or will it vignette?
It will vignette unless digital IS is enabled in video. For photos no, it will vignette.
Does it work for lumix g7 ? The lens in the camera and wanna test it out
Viltrox speed booster which model you use for this hack?
Viltrox EF to EOS M Speedbooster, there's only one for the EOS M.
