    I love my speed booster. You can also remove the EFS adapter from some of the EFS lenses, and they will work with the speed booster also. I actually cut the plastic EFS mount off of my EFS 10-18mm lens so I could use it with the speed booster on my Canon M6-II and it works GREAT for video when I need a wide angle.

    Good summary, I started with the adapter and have since bought the speed booster. I tend to have my nifty50 on the speed booster for the wider angle and bokeh effect, then the adapter on my zoom lens. Great combo I reckon, although my speed booster seems to be missing it's software... Still works and I normally manually focus anyhow. Im on the old m3 but still takes fantastic shots.

    I have both. I love the fact that it’s almost like having 2 focal lengths in one lens. I want an almost actual 50mm? Speed booster. I want 85mm? Adapter. Also I’ll definitely buy a couple more ef lenses to really utilise this method and since I’m still a beginner it’s a good hands on and cheap way to figure out what focal lengths are good for certain situations so whenever I upgrade to full frame I know what good lenses I’d wanna fork the money out for!

      1. Longer than 30-minute record time in one go (I use a decoupler when I’m home but not if shooting yoga/meditation videos outside).
      2. Image stabilisation that doesn’t crop in so much when turned on (eg. Vlog type shots)

      @@jaimetan Vlogging with the m50 in 1080p with digital IS on (not enhanced) is doable especially if you have a lens with is. if you want more than that you have to upgrade. The speedbooster with an EF 35mm F2 IS will also perform good in low light scenarios and you have the image stabilisation in the lens that helps a lot for shaky footage. Best all around upgrade that you can easily resell if you want later is a used Canon 24-105 F4 L IS with the viltrox speedbooster. You will have great quality for photos and videos (unmatched at this price at least for photos) as it offers great is and optics. Also the lens would be at a constant F2.8 at all focal lengths (a bit heavy and bulkier set up though)

    Nope. The f-stop doesnt change the aperture so speedbooser doesnt affect the dof by itself. It does that because it changes fov and the distance from the subject changes. Dof is not shallower compared to ff but you get more light.

    The easy answer is get both. You need both. And while you are on it also buy a tele-converter. (However it might be a bit complicated to get a Metabones EF-M / EF speedbooster ... since they ship from HongKong) and no shop has them on the shelf. Some has the viltrox... but that´s comes with visibly inferior image quality in regards of sharpness.

    Great summary (as usual)! I have both for very specific reasons. I have the straight adapter for use on my EF-S 55-250 which gives longer reach than the native M lens in that category at a lower price point, and also for my Sigma 17-50mm fixed f/2.8 zoom which is a lovely (albeit bulkier) replacement for the kit lens and great in low light. But I have the Speed Booster for use with my vintage Helios M44-2 EF mount adapted lens for exactly the reasons you described - namely, the intended wider field of view and the artistic effect of the classic “swirly Bokeh” with that lens.

  • @DrJon-zf2xo
    @DrJon-zf2xo 18 днів тому

    I beleive you are wrong about speed boosters always reducing resolution. The speed booster does need to consider the lens design. A well corrected lens is going to send the light to the sensors in cones with points st the sensor. The speed booster only needs to increase that angle and it is the same range over then entire frame, regardless of the lens focal length or aperture.
    If the original lens has aberrations the speed booster may make it worse but I have used speed boosters on my Nikkor 180mm f/2.8 AI and it still out resolves my APS sensor.
    My experiencxe is that these work very well on very good, sharp lenses at full aperture..

    • @markwiemels

  • @Callomir
    @Callomir 2 роки тому +3

    Hi Mark - so would the booster essentially turn a EF-M 11-22mm into a (rounded up) 8-16mm lens, with the bonus of having it a few f-stops lower increasing the overall aperture? I like the idea of just having to buy the booster without buying such an expensive lens for the same result, as a wide aperture, zoomable lens with a decent range is very pricey. So I wouldn't mind a small degrade in quality if it meant I can achieve a slightly wider FOV as well as having a few f-stops lower.

    • @markwiemels
      @markwiemels  2 роки тому +1

      The speed booster adapts EF lenses to work on EF-M cameras, so doesn’t work on EF-M 11-22mm, but other than that yes, wider field of view and larger aperture (more light).

      This is likely just the shallow area that becomes in focus with the speed booster. From a movement perspective, looking at camera shake, the speed booster allows you to achieve higher shutter speeds, so should be even less prone to camera movement than the adapter.

    Why would I do buy a speed booster? Because of the crop factor. Easy to answer. IF I want to use a 11 to lets say 24 mm prime lens, I have no other option. Sadly. Especially not with a good f-stop and auto focus. I wish there would be lenses that have ultra wide angles to counter the crop factor. But there aren't.

    A lot of lenses are sharper in the center than in the periphery. An adapter will crop off the periphery effectively giving you a sharper image than on a full frame camera. An ideal adapter which introduces no distortion will preserve the peripheral distortion of the full frame lens. Real life lenses will of course introduce transmission effects.

      Adapters don't modify the image all all. The smaller sensor just sees less of the image (a crop form the middle).

    I have both adapter and speedbooster and I regret I bought speedbooster. Image quality degradation is huge. Only center of the image is acceptable, rest, especially near the corners is a dissaster. It's a waste of money. Yeh, photos look like from full frame but only in screen resolution.

      Yes, I believe that would be a good setup, and sports and wildlife specialist oft keep a full frame body, and APS-C body, specifically to use that crop sensor reach. So that lens probably gets used like this all the time.

    Your comparison of 600% crop with or without speedbooster is not fair: since the speed booster gives a larger angle of view, fewer photosites are involved in the image of the head of the fish than without speedbooster. So you compare 2 images with a different number of pixels, that's why the head looks blurier with speedbooster !

    Hey Mark, I've seen a couple of your videos and i have to ask after watching this video. Does the speed booster/regular adapter have an impact on autofocus performance and optical performance I'm planning to buy an m50ii and pair it with the sigma 18-35 1.8 and 50-100 1.8. your thoughts?

    • @markwiemels
      @markwiemels  Рік тому

      Adapter has no negative impact, the speed booster does impact image quality, and can effect focus performance. The 18-35 is a crop lens, not designed to work with the speed booster.

  • @key2adventure

    My guess is, that if you achieve the same reproduction size on the sensor, the bokeh wont be different, but the sharpness would be better without the speed booster.

    • @markwiemels

      I think the physics are that with the speed booster you can get closer to the subject, because of the wider field of view, and this is what gives you more blur… I think..

      You can remove the tripod foot, and from memory the adapter will fit with the cage attached but that speed booster will not. I’m like 90% sure on that, but my brain has reached maximum capacity lately and seems to be dumping information, so I’m not completely certain.

    After buying virtually every EF-M lens focal length available and taking them traveling with me I've decided I just need a 15-45 mm (24-70 FF equiv) but fast. The kit lens is not fast enough. My 22mm pancake is nice but not wide enough on my M6 II. Now I'm looking at EF lenses and using the speedbooster to try to get me into the focal length that I need. The problem is lenses with that range that are fast are already very large and heavy and then adding the speedbooster makes them uncomfortable. Oh, how I wish Canon's 24mm was an EF and not an EF-S lens.
    Anyone have any suggestions on a 24-70mm FF equiv fast lens for EF-M either using an adapter or speedbooster? I find myself leaving my 22mm f/2, 32mm F/1.4 and 56mm f/1.4 in the hotel when traveling. There are wider zooms but slooowww. There are wide fast primes but they're primes.

    • @markwiemels

      I have had the same experience, have not really done the research, but I can empathise with your position. I see people talk about the Tokina 11-16 f2.8 as an option, seems to have a cult following. Seems like an off focal range to me. The issues with fast zoom is going to be the size. There are rumours of Sigma offering an APS-C 18-50 F2.8, which would be prefect.

    • @GrantMcWilliams
      @GrantMcWilliams 2 роки тому

      @@markwiemels When I started taking photos again I really didn't know what focal range I'd need but now it's very clear. I need to get far enough away from buildings which at 22 I can't. I have the 15-45mm EF-M, the 18-55 EF-M and the 18-150mm EF-M lenses. I use the 18-150 mostly. It's faster than the 15-45 and covers a lot of focal length. Still not ideal though.
      Before Canon decided to abandon EF-M it was rumored that they were going to make a 15mm f/2, 18-45mm f/2.8-4, 52mm f/2, 62mm macro f/4, 100-300mm f/5.6-8. At the time I would have bought four of them. Now I have the Sigma 56mm but I'd still buy 3 of those lenses if they released them. The 18-45 isn't as fast as I'd want but is quicker than the kit lenses. The 15mm f/2 would undoubtedly be smaller than Sigma's 15mm f/1.4 so I'd buy that too.
