Mirrorless Camera Speedbooster

f1.2L with this speedbooster is f0.85. all I want to say is this.

All I ever wanted in a Mirrorless Camera.

I'm using this on a Panasonic G7 for video. The speedbooster is well made, it feels very solid and there is practically no play between it, the camera, and the lens. It does what it's supposed to do, gives my lenses a wider fov and better low light performance, can't complain!

This camera is amazing, especially when paired with a Metabones speedbooster and EF lenses. I am a freelance journalist and use this for video journalism purposes, including at actions at protests and outdoor events, and the small profile makes this camera less intimidating to people, even when attached to a rig and some accessories. Before buying this, I'd considered Sony's lineup, like the a7 III, which was a comparable price, as well as Canon's R series. I can't say how the GH5 II stacks up in comparison, but for my purposes, this has worked very well. One tradeoff is that it's not great in low light, but having and small external light (attached to the camera cage even) addresses that. At this price tradeoff seems to often be low light performance, better in full-frame and Sony's cameras, vs stabilization, and the the in-body stabilization allows for a great handheld feel without footage being to jittery. As is commonly noted, the autofocus also isn't that reliable, but I enjoy manual focus anyway. That's something to consider, depending on what you're up to, because manual focus pretty much requires a rig with a handle and a monitor, but the profile of the whole setup is still decently small. I believe that soon-to-be-released GH 7 will be much better in this realm, as I think the GH 6 was, but I came from a Canon EOS camera, so I was able to use all my EF lenses once I got the Metabones .71x speedbooster and the image quality is amazing, for this budget.

This works as intended. It is a requirement in my opinion for the BMPCC4K. It makes the camera even more compelling than the 6k variant because the equivalent sensor size is bigger than the Pocket 6k's super 35mm sensor. This speedbooster gives you the widest field of view and allows the most light to hit the sensor compared to the .71x version of this adapter. This is a no brainer. Both of my Pocket 4k's have this speedbooster on them.

If you're looking for a camera that has 4k footage at an affordable price, this is certainly worth looking into. It has a micro 4/3 size sensor however so keep that in mind because you may want to get a speedbooster in order to make your sony or canon lenses work how you expect. For example, I bought this with a 42.5mm panasonic lens and it works for what I need without the speedbooster because with the sensor size(crop factor 2X), the actual focal length is more like 85mm. Lastly, It doesn't have auto focus or a flip screen, which is a bit of a bummer but get yourself an affordable monitor and purchase the app to control focus remotely and you'll be good to go. Otherwise, it's a great camera.

Combined with the GH5 & Metabones Speedbooster Ultra, I rarely take this off my camera. The GH5 allows you to punch in, in-camera, so you really have a wide range of focal lengths to play with before even deciding to hot swap to another lens. I own a 12-100mm Olympus, and that barely gets any play. But it's good to have options. Every shoot has its needs.

amazing camera with clean iQ and incredible codecs to choose from. With a metabones speedbooster this thing can see in the dark.

Great product. I think one of the best mirrorless camera out there.

I use it for my mirrorless camera. Would recommend.
