If you own the Panasonic GH4 or any other micro four thirds camera then you have to get this lens adapter from Metabones.

dude those shots are so beautiful, it made me feel the summer and young teenage water fights
If Tom Antos is using something that means it works perfect ... Gonna buy mine !!!
GH4 + Metabones Speed Booster X Sigma 18-35mm = Dream Setup!
Thanks for the information Tom!
Tomas Villegas No problem Tomas!
Tomas Villegas thats what im saying!
As usual, you break technical things down in such a simple way, even noobs like me can fully understand. Over the past 2 or 3 years I've learnt so much from you, and I've never regretted any buys I've made based on your reviews....My speed booster s is arriving tomorrow, and CAN'T WAIT!!......Thank you soooo much, for everything.
Thank you m8 !!!! But I've noticed we bounce of each other technicaly, GEEK we are and I love it !!!
Great to hear Chuba Chidebelu that my reviews help you. Have fun using your new speedbooster!
Covered all the questions i had on Metabones adapters.Thanks @Tom Antos
Cool video but, aren't the Metabones adapters just essentially changing/reducing the size of the Circle of Elimination size to fit the sensor on the four thirds cameras?
Tom nice review. I think a ghost open your bag at the 7:34 mark :)
kleyon11 LOL Thanks... yup there's something ghostly going on there
I've spent nearly USD 500 in the Metabones Speedboster and I have to say I could have saved that money. It works well only from f / 1: 4 to f/ 1:11.
At f / 1: 2 or less to f / 1: 1.4 only works well in the center of the image. At the sides and corners is very, very soft and provides chromatic aberrations.
The extra stop is useless and is better to spend that money on a good native lens.
I am outraged that Brian Caldwell told me that the problem is the lens Canon FD 50mm f / 1: 1.4. It is incredible .....
The extra-attachment makes sense even on the gh3 or gh4 if you want to put your cam on a steadycam, i tried it yesterday, and without i would have failed :D
Thank you! Your videos are my bible for shooting.
Another excellent tutorial / explanation. Please keep up the good work. I've learned so much from you.
Thanks so much for your videos! I was on the fence between Canon and Sony, but finally after two weeks decided on GH5 w/external Atomos, Metabones, and a couple of lenses. Thanks dude!
Finally I learned about Metabones speed boosters tons of thanks Tom
Another great review Tom! I'm getting Metabones G mount to micro four thirds. It has a manual aperture control ring right on the adapter and all my lenses are G mount.
Thanks, I was trying to understand the reason for the price. I’m looking to use my EF L lenses on a black magic 4K poecket cinema when it’s released. This seems the tight tool.
Thanks for this Tom!
I am going back and forth between buying a used G4 or a G5 but I want to keep using all my Canon L-series lenses.
Appreciate this
Cheers, Pete
Speed booster actually does "light/image compression". As we know lens aperture determines amount of light on the sensor's area. If we project all this light on smaller sensor, we get higher luminosity on area unit. Thus speed booster effect... Passive adapters hasn't light gathering element, thus we loose part of light and also part of image.
What happens if I use the speedbuster with a APS-C lens in GH4?.. I mean..I have a 70D with tokina 11-16mm (APS-C lens).. Using my tokina with the metabone speedboster in a GH4 what do I have in terms of focal length and aperture..?
Thank you for mentioning that the Auto Focus will not work with this adapter.
Very helpful.
Wonder why this has taken so long to come out, but super glad it's finally here. Do you have a BMPCC? I'd love to see if it works on that too or is that a slightly different mount?
There's BMPCC specific versions available from Metabones. They're more effective than the one shown in this video.
Great video ! Thanks a lot ! I am in the fence here . Buy 2 or 3 Rokinon cine lenses with Canon mount with simple adapter or the Metabones + Sigma 18-35 APS-C for my GH4. Trying to decide which is easier to achieve that cinema look
Does autofocusing work with this lens? Also, is there any problem with changing the aperture via the camera?
Great review, had all the answers I was looking for. Thanks Tom
This was a great review, I have learned a few tips from you and still there is so much to go through. Thanks a lot for this tutorial, all the best. You are fantastic.
Ricardo Vallejos Thanks Ricardo for watching... gald to hear you enjoyed the video.
Amazing review!
Made me feel great about buying gh4 over 5Dmk3
How does the GH4 Speedbooster look on a Blackmagic Pocket? I always wanted to know how much it looks compared to the one made specifically for it.
What is the difference between metabones adapter & speedbooster ? what should i buy adapter or speedbooster ?
Could I, for example, then put my eos-m42 or other adapters onto this? I won't be getting a Metabones, but I will be getting the cheapo adapter for use with my various mount primes.
There is some visible purple fringing-CA in the initial trees demo shot 2:34min~.
awesome video, Tom! you answered all of my questions amigo!
Tom, Which one is better - GH4 + 12-35mm Lumix Lens or GH4 + Metabones Speed Boster + Sigma 18-35 ?? Full frame lenses give me better picture than Lumix lenses? Now I have GH4 + 12-35 Lumix
i am specile in teli photography .i am using canon 70d camera and lense ulterasonic 70-300mm f /4-5.6 IS USM weather speed booster is sutable for this lense.
hello Tom,thanks alot fro your review, is there any speedbooaster nikon lens for Sony A7s
The link you provided for the Canon EF adapter from B&H says it's discontinued and they suggest another adapter. Will that one still work Canon EF lenses? Specifically APS-C lenses? Thanks!
Is it possible to put a speed booster on a full frame camera (like A7) and still get full frame results with a crop lens (EF-S) and get an extra stop of light?
would you able to use steadicams or flycams with the metabones attached? feel like the metabones would be in the way.
ple do on BMPCC by this adapter when u get a time ,,,this is not only review ...its good new for bloody mi43....cameras ....thanks !!!
It's still very overpriced as the connectors are basically just pass throughs from camera to lens
Look at it this way, the Sigma 18-35mm f1.8 lens is famous for being just as sharp, if not sharper, than the 24-70mm f2.8 L lens. The 24-70mm costs $2k new, $1700used, while the Sigma is $750 used, with the Metabones speedbooster, it's now a $1350 lens, but still beats most $1500+ lenses! IMO it's still a great value, Max Yuryev used it in a wedding video, and it was sharp as hell! vimeo.com/103043835
Does the Speed Booster cause a decrease in sharpness? The shots from 2:40 - 4:17 looked a little soft to me; was that just the lens itself or the Speed Booster?
Hi Antos, good day, i wish to know why the 17-40mm Ultra Wide Angle Canon EF lens doesn't work properly with this speed booster.
There is a s version of this and there is a "non-s-version" The homepage of meatiness is confusing. I got a GH4 and canon EF with IS lenses. Which one to buy???
Did you shoot the slow motion scenes in-camera at 1080p/96 fps or shot 4K/24 fps and slowed it in post?
Hi Tom, love your channel! very informative. I had a question if this adapter would work with the Sigma 18-35mm 1.8 lens? I know it should work with tamron 24-70mm 2.8 and tokina 11-16mm 2.8. Thanks in advance!
hello Tom. Do you think the MS increases the sharpness or contrast of the lenses? I am asking because I want to use a few old Russian lenses and I want to preserve that vintage soft look.
hi tom i have a question as you said the metabones adapter reduces the focal lenth so what should i do if i wanna use my 35mm as 35mm , 50mm a 50 or other without reducing the focal length? thank you
Tom the adapter your seen holding at the vary end..i could see where that was the non electronic strickly manual adapter? or was it the one that carries the electric from the body to the lens? im asking because from what you were saying it was vary limited use? Please let me know as i am trying to buy an Adapter that carries all AF + Image Stable+ light mettering /=some adapter that actually carries /connects all 11 Semi conductor to do all regular functions of Newest Canon STM EF-S To M4/3 OM'D E-M5MK11 Now i saw the Kipon Adapter but also saw some horrible results where the hunting was super fast and non stop infact the guy called it something like focus madness and lens would never stop to actually focus :/ he was highly disappointed in money spent & horrible results
Anyway PLEASE Let me know p.s not a real big fan of M.B. or anything that adds another window of glass
THANK YOU TOM
nice review!
I have the Rokinon DS T1.5 Cinema Lens Kit for Canon EF mount for my BMPCC 6k. Do I need a speed booster?
Hi . i want to ask question about Canon EF Lens to Micro Four Thirds Speed Booster (600$). Could this Speed Booster +(plus) Canon EF Lens work in Auto focus in Panasonic GH4 or not?????
AF doesn't work, it may be released in a future firmware update but right now no you can't use your autofocus. IS is supported though.
Tom Antos I was looking at one of these for my siny nex 5n but didn't know if it was overkill or not.
Plus just seen this mitakon lens turbo 2 focal reducer for sony nex nikon f g ai ai-s - nex
Curious if this one works with bmpcc og. I know they made one just for the bmpcc but this one is cheaper.
Thanks for the excellent explanation!
Hey Tom, this is a great review yet it leaves me with one question. There were two clips in the test footage that had extremely bad chromatic aberrations (2:41 first clip branches against the sky; 4:10 last clip, street light behind tree). Is this caused or accentuated by the adapter, or is it the lens you used?
The Story of my Life Likely the Speedbooster. I have the same issues with them. In truth Metabones sucks. Not only to only half the things FIT your lens, they have weird as hell CA. Way way overpriced and over hyped adapters.
Hi Tom, I noticed you used the Rokinon with the speedbooster. I have tried using my rokinon 24 only to get a "lense adapter Failure warning". Any tips for Getting these to work together? Thanks
Great video, subscribed :-)
I was wondering if you could give me some advice. I just got a GH4 for mainly video use, now i don't own ANY glass at all. So the two options I'm looking at is either getting the Metabones Speed Booster along with the Canon EF 24mm f/2.8 IS Lens, Tokina AT-X 116 PRO DX-II 11-16mm f/2.8 and the Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 which would cost a total of $2,076 OR i could go with MFT lenses, the Voigtlander 10.5 f/0.95, Voigtlander Nokton 25mm f/0.95 and the Voigtlander Nokton 42.5mm f/0.95. Assuming the 10.5 Voigtlander will cost at least $999, that would make the MFT lenses come to $2,998. That is $900 more than the Speedbooster and the 3 EF lenses.
Which option would you go for ?? Would you advise the speed booster for someone who doesn't have any lenses or would you suggest getting Voigtlander glass which even with the speed boosters help, none of those EF lenses i listed will drop to 0.95 like the MFT lenses.
Your advice would be really appreciated, thank you.
i want to get autofocus with canon lenses on a gh4 ... is it possible ? will it be?
Hi Tom Antos , Does the Metabones Speed Booster work well with the Canon Sigma 18-35mm on the GH4 in Video? I am primarily a videographer and very interested in getting this puppy.
So if i'm right, The typical calculation for MFT was by the factor of 2. example E-m10 using m.zuiko 45mm f1.8 would equate as canon FF using 90mm F3.6. Am I right? So if I'm using this speed booster on let say Sigma 35mm F1.5 art with e-m10 body it would retain the focal length and aperture at f1.4? so the DOF would be same as the sigma mount on FF. Am I right? If that so, I would need that adapter as i'm DOF freak.
Can you post a testing of the IS on the the sigma 70-300mm, I contacted Metabones and they werent sure if that lens would work!
That was sooo useful. Thank you so much!!
Albert Planas You are welcome!
HI Tom thanks for the review,
the video looks a bit soft around the edges was this down to the speedbooster?
7:34 how did it flip to the other side?
Wait, I'm a little confused. So this adapter will give me a wider "look"(similar to 35mm FF) on my 60d while also lowering the aperture on my EF lenses????
Aa90 Yes
Thank you for this great review and video! Is it me or is the footage shot with the speed booster a little soft at 1080? Do you think it's sharper when you use a regular adapter without the extra speed booster glass?
I bought a sigma lens and wanted to know if there was an adapter that I could buy to make it work for my canon?
Have you tested any 3rd party APSC lens for canon to see how the speed booster works? I know the EF-S wont work but not sure about the Tamron/Sigma.
TPV Productions I tested a few tamron lenses and one sigma but to see a detailed list of lenses that are not supported just go to the first link in the description of the video. Thanks!
Tom Antos Well I picked up my SpeedBooster S and ended up sending it right back. $600 to control the aperture and a extra stop is a lot of money. I have a lot of prime APS-C lenses with just a 1.25 crop and will only use them in low light wide open a $100 adapter makes more since to me.
Thank you! very informative
So basically if you already pre own the canon or nikon lenses then you should get an adapter, but if not wil the voigtlanders 17.5, 25mm, etc work? I mean you're basically getting only 1 extra stop of light from the adapter+canon lens. Im not saying its not worth it but I dont have Canon lenses lying around and the GH3 was my first camera. What makes me interested is the fact you said these lenses are more sharper with the adapter attached. Also, how does the crop factor work? I know if you have a 45mm with no adapter on the gh3 its equivalent to a 90mm but what if you have say a 50mm along with the adapter? Any help appreciated. I wish I knew about your videos a few years back when I first purchased my GH3.
Great video! You explained the speedbooster very well. ;-)
SO I CAN USE THIS WITH THE SIGMA f1.4 Art ??
Hi do you get autofocus for video recording with the GH4 as nearly all the videos on TH-cam they use the GH4 to test this adapter but mention nothing about autofocus for video work being that GH4 is mainly used for it's video capabilities ?
Hi tom im thinking of buying a gh4 and with that a good set of lenses... Can you suggets me some... Should i buy the metabones speex booster and buy canon lenses or what?
What type of metabones adaptor did you use on your Rokinon when it was on the Sony A7s? The cheap one, or the speed boost metabones?
SaintProductions1 the cheap one
ok, thanks.
can i use this on my 12-35mm f/2.8 panasonic lense then (GH4)?which one is best for me?
if i connect the metabones speed booster canon ef to the gh4. and i take tamron lens. it will work?
and if it will work. i can control on the lens from the camera?
thank you/
Howd you fit the speedbooster onto a tripod? The foot of the speedbooster makes it impossible to mount onto a tripod
mrdbznarutofan1 I know exactly what you mean! On my speed booster, the foot can be removed by using a small Allen key and removing the two screws under the foot. After this you can pull the foot right off.
Tom Antos, I have been watching your videos for a while and I just purchased the GH4 with 12-35 lens and a metabones speedbooster, I would like your professional opinion as I have a few EF prime lenses, I need a good zoom and was thinking about the canon 24-105 f4 and just wondering would that lens coupled with the speedbooster be bad in low light situations? Or should I consider the 24-70 f2.8?
I got the GH4 + 12-35mm Lumix Lens but it become an 24-70mm in the Micro 4/3 sensor, right? There's any adaptor for the own Lumix lenses? So I can use my lens as a 12-35mm for real. Is that possible?
Thanks for your reply Tom...I really appreciate it! I'm wondering about the Metabones Speed Booster and its compatibility with the GH4 - I'm looking for a zoom lens with OIS for the Metabones Speed Booster. I've seen a video about flickering issues with the GH4 when zooming ( aperture fluctuates) with one of the panasonic zoom lenses. My question is this: What zoom lens (Canon EF) with the Metabones Speed Booster would you suggest that will still have OIS ( and all other features) like a regular Panasonic Lumix Micro Four Thirds lens? Thank You
Great review its so important .. Keep on
If my focus has become more photography than video would you still recommend the Metabones Speed Booster? For that matter would you recommend the GH4 or another camera for photography?
Jean Starling No for photography you want AF and want it to work fast... so I would buy native lenses.... for video this adapter is great.
god this looks lovely! i'm totally late to the speedbooster party, but i recently dropped my GH5 with it's 12-60 zoom on, and unfortunatly ruined the zoom (very very upset about this - panasonic are terrible for spares it seems, anyway....), luckily my gh5 was absolutly fine. So it means i can look for more glass, i'm thinking of going down the Metabones 0.71x + sigma DC 18-35 f1.8 art (EF mount). It's really exciting that i might be able to shoot in low light at last. great review thanks!
Can anyone confirm that ''Metabones Canon EF to Micro Four Thirds T CINE Speed Booster ULTRA 0.71x'' will work for Bmpcc 4k to the 18-35mm lens? Thanks!
Cool Review, I'm now more keen to buy this with GH5 ;) I have a question though, because it seemed like the speed booster did degrade the image quality, is it just me or is it really the case?
Hi Tom! Im a fan!!! watch all your videos.
i have a question for you regarding the speed booster for the gh4. I followed the link that you had for the speed booster and i notice there is another model. "S" version. im alittle bit confused but arent they the same adapters? they both are priced at $599. so i was wondering which one should i buy? The one you linked was MB_SPEF-M43-BM1 model and the "S" version is MB_SPEF-M43-BM2. if you can help me please thanks.
Hi Tom, I have a BMCC EF and I use lens EF, my question is this: Can I mount the speed booster for BMCC EF and then, mountig an adaptor for MFT to EF? So, I keep on using my EF lens? Would it work well?
I went the link you posted and the speed booster adapter has been discontinued?!!
Did you try the Sigma 18-35 1.8 with the gh4 yet?
Thank a lot! from Panamá Rep. of Panamá. Very usefull info. and Congrats for the excellent video review.
Max Tejada,
Video Producer.
Hi tom, which would be the best metabone speed booster for the gh4 todate? im thinking of buying speedbooster Canon EF XL 0.64x or the Ultra 0.71x? which is more convenient for the GH4?
Hello I have canon 60d I want take or recording video what type the lens or adpter I need to use for recording video?
Yo tom, ive used this speedbooster for a few days now, it works great with all my canon lenses except one issue with the canon 24-105mm f.4 . The IS wont activate for some reason. The IS on all my other canon lenses work great with the speedbooster. Do you know how to fix this? (ofc ive switched IS 'on' on the lens) . The aperture works with the lens, only IS doesnt so the electronics work. On my 6d the IS only activates when you are recording, that triggers it on the 6d, but recording doesnt trigger it on the gh4.
Hi Tom - another informative review! You used the GH4 here - are you still happy with your Sony A7S?? I have a GH4 but after watching your A7S review I'm considering one - it is expensive over here! I'll appreciate your comment!
Im super happy with my GH4... I actually got rid of my Sony A7s
TomAntosFilms Why did you get rid of the Sony A7s?
No autofocus. Thats a shame. Is there some newer model that allows this? Thanks
Thanks for all your informative video. Wanted to ask you your opinion... Do you think Canon glass has better image quality then regular Panasonic glass?
no... depends on each individual lens but in general there are great canon and Panasonic lenses. Only problem with Panasonic is that there aren't as many to choose from. Canon has by far the biggest selection of lenses.
There's also olympus, rokion, slrmagic, and voigtlander who sell lenses for the mft mount. Possibly more. :)
How big of deal is not having autofocus? Seems like a big deal but nobody mentions it.
Hi, I was wondering if I can use two speed boosters?
If I have a Micro Four Thirds sensor and a full frame lense, can I use two speed boosters to match the lens light to the sensor?
Thanks.
Hey Tom how are you man? I hope all is well. I have two questions for you: can I use the Metabones MFT to EF adapter I brought for my GH4 on the Blackmagic Pocket camera? and between the Canon C500, Red Scarlet, and the Blackmagic URSA, which would you recomend for Indie film production? I'm looking to shoot something that can be picked up by the distributors.
By the way, I totally subscribed.
What does the switch slider do on the metabones?
Hi Tom, If you were starting fem scratch with only a GH4, and had no glass from any other manufacturer, which speed booster would you get? Nikon? Canon? Basically which company's lens' are the best bang for your buck for a GH4? I only just got a GH4 with the 12-35mm Lumix, and the Olympus 12mm f2.0 prime.
Chad Johnson I think Canon version. Simply because there's a lot more lenses for the Canon EF mount
