Very useful information, experience, thanks! I have 70D crop equipment, just browsing around to see what a move to full frame is like, issues using existing crop equipment... so thanks again for letting us see the experience. You actually point out one benefit of 4k crop... seems effectively compatible with crop lenses.
By now Canon makes it even easier to switch to full frame. The EOS R and RP natevily both support EF-S Lenses with the Adapter. All my content since the release of the EOS R was shot either on EF or EF-S Lenses.
If you're trying to choose which EF-S lens to use with your Canon full frame body, I suggest you pick none at all. EF-S main elements poke out and it takes one costly accident to just snap a picture alongside literally snapping your mirror. You're better off using the crop lenses of third party lens manufacturers because they design their lenses not to poke out of the mount. A Sigma 18-35mm for example will give you the sharp results you need for the 5DMkIV's 4k video.
And for anyone making the change from crop sensor to full frame, you should have invested in your first L lens before. The Canon 24-105 f/4 L is a MUST. it is an almost versatile walk around point and shoot lens which you will be able to learn with and use on both types of sensor cameras. It’s only negative aspect if it is, is that it is not as bright in low light situations as a f/2.8 lens. But on a full frame or a canon 80d you can push the ISO to get superb images in lowlight if you know how to use your camera.
They are working! And they work great in full frame! And Tokina, Tamron and Sigma lenses don’t even need to be remade - there is a slight vignetting at the beginning of the range, but this can be easily removed either in the camera or on the computer, just like Full Frame Nikon or Sony do it in the camera! On EF-S lenses you can even use a Kenko 1.4x teleconverter for EF/EF-S mounting
The problem with the lens hitting the mirror goes away with a full frame mirrorless camera like the EOS RP which lacks a moving mirror. If you start with a third party crop lens, there is no need to remove the bumper piece. My Tokina 12-24 covers full frame from 18-24 without the dark corners but I did have to remove the supplied lens hood.
That’s exactly what I said in one of my previous posts here. That’s also the reason why I always recommend the EOS R over the 5D cause you get alle the benefits right out of the box 🥳
Hi ! I cut my kit 18mm55mm EFs to fit an analog Canon EF mount. I take photos on a cool Kodak Vision3 color film and here I start to read that there is vignetting ... I can't see any vignetting in the viewfinder, but I'm afraid that when I see the photos after receiving them from the laboratory, they will be vignettes! I am looking for some mathematical formula to calculate on some values to take pictures safely with such a modified lens. I will be a thankful "good word" for help. Or.. otherwise, I will buy an EF lens. ..and that one to be thrown out :( Regards Kris
Yes actually they do. In my 500px profil you can check out some examples for that. For the most recent pictures i used the 5D Mark IV with the EF-S 10-22 mm lens 500px.com/attibr
@@AttiBear Hello Jeff, thank's for this information. Very useful. You say the AF and stabilization still work on your 5DMark4. You have any idea if it also works on the 5DMark3. Thank's a lot Richard
Would macro tube fix this issue without exposing the electronics inside the EF-S lens? I'm new to video and photography, I am guessing it affects the focal length but I need to check.
Just as a speed booster narrows the picture from full frame to APS-C, a 1.4 converter widens the EF-S picture to full frame size. And also: the 1.4 converter does not stick out to damage the mirror. Only: Canon's and Sigma's converters stick out on the front, so that you still have to remove, widen or replace the plastic disk, but Kenko's converter does not stick out on either side. And the modern Canon R cameras regognize the Canon and Sigma (but not Tamron!) EF-S lenses as APS-C and force a 1.6 crop. No way getting around it, as far as I know.
Sure thing Flo! I'm not sure it could be that you cant go all the way down to 17mm. Don't forget that a 20mm Crop lens is way wider on a Full Frame Body 😉. So youaren'tt losing any range.
I tried. Plastic comes off the same exact way. The vignetting is permanent at all focal lengths on my FF :( I don't own a 5d4, so I don't know if this lens is still useful for 4k recording (with crop turned on)
Will a Canon 5D MkIII support EF-S lenses with the modification? I understand the outer black ring, but will it still auto focus and change aperture electrically?
@@jasonrusso7 Hi, did you ever get it to work? Or have you found out what is the problem. I am intend to get this lens for my 5DMark3 but I wonder if the AF and stabilizer will work. Thank's
Hey .. have u tried 20-35 instead .. i have just purchased one used in 127$ and it is an amazing lens i am loving it. Not much of a difference between 18 and 20mm on wide end.
@@AttiBear I got mine off this morning by putting some felt over the lens to protect from scratches, then using a screwdriver to pop the cap off. Wasn't sure if there was enough clearance so didn't test it out yet.
If you can't afford lenses, why not just stay with crop sensor until you have more money? What's the rush? After watching your video, I could not see any reason to go to all that trouble and danger. What is so great about the full frame body? I use a mirrorless m50 and can take incredible video and photos. I use a speed booster to adapt ef lenses. No need for crazy things like risking breaking glass etc.
Once the lens is modified, will it still work on an ef-s camera like the sl2 or 80d? Or once you chop it will it only work with full frame ef cameras? Thanks!
I did not know you could do this!? OMG! I am planning to get 5D mkIV but I do own the Canon EF-S (10-22mm) (Dam, I should had kept the one I had broke previously so I could have used it for this) Oh well, Thank you for sharing this!
I am in this situation now. I could buy a $1,000 plus lens for my FF or just use my UWA lens on my crop body. Nothing wrong with that but the idea of switching setups seems like a lot vs switching a lens.
My understanding is you can't use EFS on full frame cameras. So you buy an expensive 5d MK 4 and then buy cheap lenses. And why would you take a chance of damaging your expensive camera using cheap lenses?
Good description & info....would have been nice to see side by side examples of photos taken from both lenses at the same distance & same focal length though.
The video is about modifying EF-S lenses (with a white spot) to fit full frame cameras (with a red spot.) If you're fitting white spot lenses to white spot cameras then you're right, you don't have to butcher your lens because the white spot camera body IS an APS-C (cropped sensor) body designed to take EF-S lenses!
if you stick to the higher focal length area, there is no issue. I didn't tried it myself, but somebody in the comments said you start to see vignetting somewhere around 24mm
Cause i don't wanted the change in focal length. If you already have the Extension Tube you can of course use it but it adds 25mm. And to be honest i don't know wether it works for all lenses. I really like the fact that i get an extreme wide angle with the 10-22mm on the 5D.
Depending on what you want to do with it. If you want to record Video in 4K then it'll behave like a 33mm Lens. With Full HD it would be around 15mm but i'm not sure whether you'd have vignetting or not.
That piece you'll need to physically cut off. I used a dremel, but others have used a hack-saw. The lens works pretty well at 250mm (yay, free zoom lens!), otherwise you will see the ring at shorter focal lengths (< 135 mm or so). I also tried the saw hack with the 18-55 3.5-5.6 ef-s kit lens, and the edge of the ring shows at 24 mm :/
+NoTrash PleaseThanks yeah that’s normal with all the EF-S Lenses. They are simply not built for full frame. But they sometimes are still able to outperform the FF Lenses.
With respect, if you have Canon equipment. I would be recommending to people going from Crop sensor to Full frame to swap, sell or just invest in new lens. There are so many secondhand lens out there. In fact, the market is much more buoyant now because Canon has introduced their new R and RP editions onto the market making Mirrorless cameras the way to go... Of course, for those who have done their homework and have used Apsc and Full Frame. But of course newcomers to Dslr type cameras will have to learn from scratch... I never gave it much thought, Never suffered at all. Of course, I did my research and have picked up all my L lens for my Full frame camera without breaking the bank. If you are going to upgrade, surely one should already know what you are saying in this video... Well, I guess there will always someone out there who did not do their homework! With respect.
Atti Bear that's what i wanted to read!! I'm planning on using a 2x teleconverter on my 55-250 stm, I'm using a M50 with an adapter, so if i can just take the cap off and then put it on without sawing or grinding anything, it encourages me to buy a 2x ef teleconverter
@@AttiBear, I have 3 great DSLRs that will last at least five years more from now on for an enthusiast like me. Perhaps I would have loved EOS R6 if I used it but, don't need it now. Moreover, I'm not interested in mounting EF-S lenses on my FF body, it simply doesn't make sense. Rather, I enjoy the extra reach of my super tele EF lenses when mounted on my APS-C bodies.
Actually since I made this Video, my mirror every now and then did hit the Lens. I just turned the camera off and back on again and it was fine. I guess the mirror is more robust than you might think 😉. But you are right. Just because it works for me, does not mean it necessarily works for everybody else.
Dont buy new lenses. People buy new camera gear every day soon as the 30 days is up they wanted get rid of it. EBay, Fred Miranda, Mom and Pop camera shops all have used excellent like new lenses. Save a few extra dollars in buy used. Allen's Camera in Levittown always has great deals online.
Exactly the info I was looking for. Too bad for the unlikes, prolly from guys who are afraid to tinker with their equipment and also want to discourage others from doing that. But the warnings are on point. It's risky but it works. I have some EF-S lenses and a T3i, thinking about getting a full frame camera to get wider angles. Being mainly an electronics engineer, I will tinker with everything in my possession and repair whatever happens to be the aftermath :D For shooting video, could even remove the mirror altogether, and the black edges could become like an interesting effect :D
What if there's no such lens? People act like there's every single lens imaginable for the full frame cameras, well, the ef-s 50-250 stm beats the crap out to the 70-300 EF lens, both in image clarity and speed, so you can't blame when people try to use that one, or the wide angle 10-18mm EF-S lens.
I only have one question...why? Canon make lenses for full frame cameras...if you can't afford them, don't buy a full frame camera. They make superb APS-C cameras that take EF-S lenses, buy one of those instead! Anyone considering doing this needs to seek medical attention!
Speed booster’s only work well if the sensor of the camera it is used with is smaller than that of the camera for which the lens was designed. This video is dealing with modifying EF-S lenses (that's the ones designed for smaller crop APS-C camera sensors) in order to fit them to full frame cameras like the Canon 5D MK IV (that's the ones with larger sensors.) I suggest you read more about speed boosters here Lewis as they are mostly designed to work with MILC's rather than full frame DSLR cameras.......like I said, anyone modifying an EF-S lens to fit a FF camera want their heads looking at! www.whatdigitalcamera.com/technology_guides/speed-boosters-advance-technology-guide-60994#fvvSlX0so8Jily1l.99
As I understand it, the Speed Booster is an adapter that allows for a full frame lens to be mounted on APS-C or Micro Four Thirds mirrorless cameras, not for using EF-S lenses on full frame cameras. I still fail to see why anyone would want to do this. If you can afford to buy a full frame camera but not the lenses then you have definitely got your priorities the wrong way round. Buying EF telephoto lenses for APS-C cameras makes sense for 2 reasons...if you ever upgrade to a FF camera, you'll already have the correct lenses for it and in the meantime an EF lens will fit an APS-C camera body and give a 1.6 x increase in the field of view, so a 300mm EF lens will give the same field of view as a 480mm lens on a full frame camera. Please note the disclaimer that Atti Bear makes, he hasn't done that for no reason, he's done it as a warning that this mod could have disastrous results!
What about mounting the very sharp 55-250 stm on a teleconverter, taking advantage of the STM and the much clearer picture quality compared to the 70-300?
Have you figured out a replacement part to cover the exposed electronics? Cheers!

The real problem with Canon 5D iv is not using the full wide of its fullframe sensor. So I think this 10-22mm hack is reasonable.

Only partially and it increases the focal length even more.

Does this only work with the USM version of the 10-22? I just tried with the non-USM (plastic mount) and I can't seem to pull it out....
No it works with every lens, but you‘ll need to apply more force on some lenses. So just try some more gentle force 😁

Joana MLo can you post a link for the adapter?
...but if you get it wrong it's going to cost a lot of money - is it worth the risk?
Actually since I made this Video, my mirror every now and then did hit the Lens. I just turned the camera off and back on again and it was fine. I guess the mirror is more robust than you might think 😉. But you are right. Just because it works for me, does not mean it necessarily works for everybody else.
My personal solution is... rest on APS-c!
Wait! This is illegal!
It's far from illegal. It's your gear so you can modify it any way you deem necessary. But don't expect waranty claims to go through 😉
@@AttiBear that is a joke
Dont buy new lenses. People buy new camera gear every day soon as the 30 days is up they wanted get rid of it. EBay, Fred Miranda, Mom and Pop camera shops all have used excellent like new lenses. Save a few extra dollars in buy used. Allen's Camera in Levittown always has great deals online.
Exactly the info I was looking for.
Too bad for the unlikes, prolly from guys who are afraid to tinker with their equipment and also want to discourage others from doing that.
But the warnings are on point. It's risky but it works.
I have some EF-S lenses and a T3i, thinking about getting a full frame camera to get wider angles.
Being mainly an electronics engineer, I will tinker with everything in my possession and repair whatever happens to be the aftermath :D
For shooting video, could even remove the mirror altogether, and the black edges could become like an interesting effect :D
You sound a lot like me. But at least you probably know what you are doing 🤪
I would not risk it.. if you can afford a 2-3k camera, you should buy the correct lens
With the EOS R you don't need this hack anymore ☺️
What if there's no such lens?
People act like there's every single lens imaginable for the full frame cameras, well, the ef-s 50-250 stm beats the crap out to the 70-300 EF lens, both in image clarity and speed, so you can't blame when people try to use that one, or the wide angle 10-18mm EF-S lens.
why not buy a speedbooster ?
speed booster + cheaper lens = just buy a full frame lens
maannn you speak like you're really high!!!! But keep up the good work of sharing knowledge!!!
OMG
Handsome
Thanks 😁
Silly video. If you can't afford FF, then go for APS-C body (7D is very good).
I only have one question...why? Canon make lenses for full frame cameras...if you can't afford them, don't buy a full frame camera. They make superb APS-C cameras that take EF-S lenses, buy one of those instead! Anyone considering doing this needs to seek medical attention!
Stoprobinpeople Blind what if you want to use an ef-s lens with a speed booster then its a very useful video
Speed booster’s only work well if the sensor of the camera it is used with is smaller than that of the camera for which the lens was designed. This video is dealing with modifying EF-S lenses (that's the ones designed for smaller crop APS-C camera sensors) in order to fit them to full frame cameras like the Canon 5D MK IV (that's the ones with larger sensors.) I suggest you read more about speed boosters here Lewis as they are mostly designed to work with MILC's rather than full frame DSLR cameras.......like I said, anyone modifying an EF-S lens to fit a FF camera want their heads looking at!

As I understand it, the Speed Booster is an adapter that allows for a full frame lens to be mounted on APS-C or Micro Four Thirds mirrorless cameras, not for using EF-S lenses on full frame cameras. I still fail to see why anyone would want to do this. If you can afford to buy a full frame camera but not the lenses then you have definitely got your priorities the wrong way round. Buying EF telephoto lenses for APS-C cameras makes sense for 2 reasons...if you ever upgrade to a FF camera, you'll already have the correct lenses for it and in the meantime an EF lens will fit an APS-C camera body and give a 1.6 x increase in the field of view, so a 300mm EF lens will give the same field of view as a 480mm lens on a full frame camera. Please note the disclaimer that Atti Bear makes, he hasn't done that for no reason, he's done it as a warning that this mod could have disastrous results!
You're an idiot lol
What about mounting the very sharp 55-250 stm on a teleconverter, taking advantage of the STM and the much clearer picture quality compared to the 70-300?
