Photography enthusiasts (especially Panasonic GH4 camera owners and followers) were very excited about last week’s release.In fact, the famous US company Metabones announced in a press release, in partnership with Caldwell Photography, the arrival of a new lens adapter, the Speed Booster XL 0.64x, improving quality in terms of operation with a lower clipping factor and sharper images.
O aparato que já possuía sua versão para as câmeras de modelo Blackmagic agora também chega totalmente adaptado ao estilo de sensor Full Four Third, reduzindo o fator de corte natural de 2x para 0.64x. Se analisado com o funcionamento da câmera no modo 4K, a alteração fica ainda mais notável com a modificação de 2.34x para 1.50x, formato na mesma medida de uma Super 35, usada no cinema.
- The shutter opening included in the operation of this Metabones adapter also promises to reach a new level between Micro Four Third (MFT) cameras.
- In fact.
- Thanks to its modern 6-piece optical design.
- The aperture can achieve.
- Given the use of a 10 mm lens.
- An incredible f /0.
- 80.
- That no such equipment has been able to achieve so far.
- Even with thicker lenses like 20 or 40 mm.
- The aperture still reaches very interesting levels: f / 1.
- 1 yf / 1.
- 81.
As with other items produced by the Virginia-based company, the Speed Booster is modeled so as not to take up space to interrupt the filter stack near the machine sensor.
In addition to the aforementioned DMC-GH4, other equipment, although using the MFT system and not FMFT (Full Micro Four Third), are also compatible with the new Speed Booster, Olympus E-PL7 and also Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH3.
The company plans to put the item into circulation again in June for the “Modica” 479 model for Nikon F/G lenses and $649 for Canon EF lenses.
