Did you know the pythagorean theorem used no x, y or z? (I think you know, but let's assume more people will read this). The theorem a geometric one: if I construct 3 squares using each side of a rectangular triangle (right triangle? a triangle with one 90 degrees angle!) then the areas of the two sides of the 90 degrees angles, added together have the same area as the square built used the third side of that triangle (the hypotenuse). And why am I telling this? All of camera lenses optics is called geometric optics - things know in Pythagoras time. Why people don't know this? I'll tell you: people are not dumb and almost everybody has no cognitive deficiency - the people who run the School system are basically dishonest. Honesty is not only "not to steal", it's also do what is correct regardless of what people will think.
Finally! Contrary to other channels You explained everything without "sensor war" bias. Without omitting certain details to suit agenda. Very informative and on point. Kudos to You. Your channel became my favourite regarding photography gear. Keep it coming. Thank You. :)
This has to be the best explanation of F-stop, Focal length and how they work together with a camera with or without an adapter. Thank you!! This was awesome and I haven't even gotten to the actual adapter vs speed booster part. lol. Well done man!
I sure have to say...you are a FANTASTIC teacher. Obviously you learned well, when you needed to. Thorough knowledge on the subject. Thorough command over the language. No faltering or fumbling between sentences....consistently. Your lungs, God bless, are great, you hold your breath modulation perfectly. Above the rest, the video-editing is so cut-to-the-edge. Can't find a point to negate, except that the Pythogarous eguation...well you are not at fault, on that. Math was not my forte. But you made me understand the APSC sensor better. Boy, so much learning, I will again and again visit this video to get my fundas clear. Kudo1 Many thanks.
The only thing I don't understand about the videos Sagi makes, are the dislikes. Seriously people, what on earth do you dislike about his content? This quickly became my go-to tech video channel. Thank you so much Sagi!
I just discovered your channel about a week ago. Everything I've watched so far has been immensely helpful. Your presentations are clear, concise, and informative. Thanks for the education!
I studied technical photography at RIT and we were DORKS! And yet I never knew the math behind F-stops. Your explanation makes total sense. Your videos are great! Thanks!
I knew all of this, through what I must say was quite an extensive research, reading articles, watching multiple videos and linking it all. This video is probably the only which explains it all together in a simple manner! Really great work!
Superb tutorial. Other platitudes are available! Seriously, that's probably the best explanation I've seen anywhere. Been taking images for almost 50 years and you've impressed me! Thank you.
Wow. I'm actually now understanding it the 2nd time around. The 1st time I watched this a few months ago I got dizzy (ziggy) ... Lol. But it actually sank in now since I'm now about to buy my M50. Thanks much. Your effort wasn't in vain.
This is why I love you channel and content so much. You don’t try taking subjective matters and making them objective: you just lay out the facts in an easy to understand way so we, the viewer, can make informed decisions.
I use the Viltrox speed booster with a 35mm EF F2 lens for my webcam setup and its beautiful. No problems with autofocus and I have the advantage of the extra stop of light. Turns the M50 into a full frame camera.
I’m so glad that this can all be explained but I still have a hard time understanding. That was a lot of math. Great job. There are some amazing folks creating all of these advancements. So cool.
I stopped the video to say thank you. Honestly your tech videos are very inspirational and informative. Your channel is by far the only channel I jump to view nowadays. Thanks!
I can’t believe I just watch the whole entire video with all those numbers in it. And somehow kinda understand all of them in one go. You’re so good at explaining things!
I am so glad you didn't stick to the party line of "forget about crop factor" because it doesn't change the focal length and dove into the real issue that it does change the 'effective' focal length. Most of us who know something about optics were only confused that some ppl were confused or misrepresenting this. The bottom line is "It doesn't matter that it doesn't change the FL. because crop factor does affect the results which is, It looks like it changes the FL. as in a 1.6 [canon aps-c] crop factor makes a ef 50mm "ACT LIKE" an 80mm. what I wasn't yet sure about because I had not yet researched it was the f-stop. It makes so much sense how you explained it. Other youtubers either ignore the basic math or get it wrong by multiplying one number but not then multiplying by the next. EG: a 50*0.71*1.6 being 56.8mm [effective] is the math of the speed booster effective FL Now, for me... I have an EF 78-300mm f4-5.6 and while a 120-480mm f4-5.6 doesn't make sense for weddings, with this info, I can see how having a 85-340mm max at f2.8-4 does make sense For other lenses and primes that aren't available on ef-m yet, a 35mm becomes a "nifty 50 with just an adapter, and now that I know that the f stop won't change, it's going to be both for me. What I'm now confused about is, why isn't the 22mm prime an effective 22 mm? Is it in fact, an effective 36mm?? and why? EDIT: he answered this but it wasn't that clear. Yes, you apply the crop factor to ALL lenses. That means the 22 prime is basically a 35mm when compared to a full frame camera with a 35mm
I have the M50, with both the adaptor and the speed booster. I will put on either the Sigma 30mm f1.4 or the Sigma 85mm f1.4 Its like having four lenses and I have been very pleased. I very much enjoyed the video. Nice to have that much detail on the subject. Thank you.
Your channel provides value and great information. Even though many other content providers mention the same topics. You have a great way of explaining it to the masses. So thank you, for the 10 of thousands of hours you have spent thus far editing and composing the channel.
This is a fantastic video. I had a super basic understanding of some of the crop factor effects, but this has expanded my brain understanding ten fold. I really like these educational type videos to help improve understanding of the little things to help improve skills and abilities within photography. Thank you.
I think this is a phenomenal video and is the first I have come across in 5 months which explains in detail the difference between full frame etc. I got a bit lost in the math at the end but I would love more videos of this detail as it has demystified some of the jargon!
Most informative and the ULTIMATE video on this topic. Every photographer must watch this video once in their lifetime. (Many photographers don't know the physics behind this.) I am not not exaggerating. This is an amazing content, Sagi.
Great video. I actually own/use both, but something nobody ever seems to point out is that you cant use ef-s lenses with speedboosters because of the bit that juts out behind them. They just won't fit 😊
Wow. I am hearing this for the first time. Did you actually try this and it did not work? Or it is just a theory. My Efs lenses woks on my full frame body. I just have to zoom in a little to remove the vignette. So are you saying crop lens will not sit at all on a speed booster? On their website, they listed Sigma 18-35 1.8 as a compatible lens and that is a crop lens
Wow you explained that extremely well. I did not lose my attention throughout the whole video. You’re great at this. Thank you for sharing the knowledge
Hey buddy, I just keep coming back to your channel you have so much good info. your delivery makes It very easy to understand and grow my understanding of photography thanks Sagi.
Really well done video. I’m sure a lot of people won’t watch it all the way through, but hopefully that doesn’t dissuade you from making more meaningful content like this.
I use both, adapter and speedbooster. Especially speedbooster for extreme low light, nightsky, to shoot video of northern lights. And use it with ultrafast lenses already for even more speed. E.g. on a 20mm 1.4 , 35mm 1.2 , 14mm 2.4. Even shooting with fullframe cameras in full sensor mode, despite vignetting at edges, which is not too bad at night, and 16:9 ratio cuts top, bottom vignetting anyway, even more if letterboxing 2.39:1 ... or edit in 1:1 or 4:3 aspect ratio and only corners vignettes . e.g. Sigma 20mm/1.4 gets 14mm/1.0 on full sensor. Samyang 14mm/2.4 gets 10mm/1.7 ... and 35mm/1.2 gets 25mm/0.85 . Pretty cool !
I came here to know about speed boosters. Now I have knowledge of where those crop factors came from , meaning of f stops and f/(f-stop) and it's relation with aperture diaphragm. Which I think many beginners don't yet understand. I would recommended people to watch it again or for recap. Thank you for this awesome knowledge.
Great Informative Video! I have gotten into cameras recently with buying an M50 a few month back and my ADD self is soaking up this content like a sponge! I'm learning so much more here watching your videos than what i'm learning at Uni haha keep up the great work Sagi!!
Sagi, kudos man! I have been watching videos on your channel for a few year now, and you are such a great reference for both gear and for general knowledge pertaining photo and video. Just wanted to say thank you for continuing to put out stellar content, and I'm happy to see the channel growing. 110K subscribers and growing and you have certainly earned every one with the high level of production on your videos. Although I was fairly well informed about these topics, there was still some useful things I took from the video, and tbh, I woulda watched it all anyway cuz the videos you've been putting out are so on point. Keep up the good work!
I really appreciate you taking the time to watch and for the kind words Sean. I'm so grateful to have you as pat of the community 🙏 I've got more content coming!
Best video on UA-cam explaining these all these concept...one small tip on the math when calculating the crop factor you don't need to calculate the diagonal length since the ratio of the diagonal is the same of the ratio of either of the sides between two triangle...
Wow thank you I have never know any of this nor a photographer. Started researching to take some product photos for my ecommerce business and you nailed it. I completed understand what other videos are talking about now :D
This was a very good video. I’m thinking of getting the 50 Mark II and I’m coming from the DSLR world. thanks to this video I now know I need to get an adapter to continue using my lenses due to the fact that this camera is mirror less. thank you so much you save me a huge headache and frustration. And hopefully you see this comment lol
I LOVE this. I went from Fuji X-T3 to Canon 5D MkII and I just love Fuji too much after a year with Canon but I do love some of the Canon lenses and have been stressing for an explanation of the full frame lens to APS-C use and this answered every question I had. Thank you SO much
This is straight up the most in-depth video explaining the topic I've ever watched. I know this is old but damn... 100/100. Fantastic and informative video.
This video is super helpful and detailed. It's one of those that will stand the test of time, and be relevant YEARS from now. Fantastic content as usual! Why go to school when you can just find this type of content on UA-cam?
these videos are incredible. keep them coming! i'd love to see someone discuss the evolution of sensors; I been recently obsessed with the magic behind bayer cmos sensors that DJI and some others are using. i'm not sure if it's completely applicable to what you like talking about on your channel, but some of these advancements/tricks are pretty fascinating.
Hi, I have canon SL2, does the speedboster fit? I've been trying to find info on this, but couldn't find any clear confirmation. I know the speedbooster does fit and work on canon M series.
Thanks you for considering my request for this video. Clear and detailed explanation. Video also covers many basic things more than just the speed booster topics. Keep doing great videos like this. 👍
This was an excellent video. You clearly explain everything for anyone to understand it. You are a good instructor . Keep up the excellent work you do. Many thanks.
I think I will get an adapter first before I buy a speed booster. I have a lot of Canon EF glass and I want to upgrade from my Canon 5D Mark II to the Canon m50 Mark II for the mirror less experience and benefits over DSLR. But I will buy an speed booster later to try out the effects and experiment verses the adapter. Thank you for this video as it is very clear and helpful.
There is a difference between a review made by an user and a pro like you! Man best video ever on the subject. Thank you for it. You’re totally the best!
Wow, what a complete video. I walked away having learned something complete with no useless fluff. I hate fluff. As far as speed boosters, it makes no sense to me to buy a regular adapter instead. Having both is obviously the best for the reasons that you explained.
This guy is good! I say this mostly because he does a great job in reviewing the "tech backstory," or stuff about WHY things happen - and the math behind f/stops, etc. Stuff I learned 60 years ago, thank God. Most photographers these days are prisoners of all that automation in modern slrs, which are actually computers that capture light (hence, Dslr's). When you can rely on your BRAIN, you are always better off. So his "tech backstory" is the best part of his presentation. All the other stuff - that is, why we tuned in, is actually less important.
I just ordered a Viltrox EF EF-S to EF-M adapter. It was only $37. I ordered a Canon EOS M camera for $109 (that is not a misprint). I also ordered a Kamlan 50mm f/1.1 EF-M lens. That lens will be fun with only manual focus. My Canon EF-S 24mm f/2.8 lens need the adapter as do the EF 50/f1.8 and EF 75-300 (f/4 to f/5.6) lenses. The Kamlan was only $129. I think it will all work out pretty good. I am currently using a Canon SL2 camera so I am used to APS-C sensors. I just couldn't pass up a chance to get the M for cheap !!!
Your video was very helpful. Thank you very much. I'm not a math guy, but your explanation was very easy to follow and now I know what my needs are in terms of adapters and speedboosters. :)
Brilliant video, the best I have come across so far. Extremely well explained, not just about the adaptors but also the crop factor and focal length, the aperture, the field-of-view etc. Thank you so much.
Sagi has a way of explain things that makes it clear. Now I want a speed booster...and know how and when to use it. Thx for putting this video together. I'm looking forward the one about aperture.
Awesome explanation of everything you went over there’s a lot of amateurs out there making videos and blog posts that make it hard to know what’s what but it’s clear you have a firm grip on the subject 👍🏻
so glad i came across this. i slapped the 50mm with an adapter on a M50 and was planning on using it as a secondary camera for an upcoming event. im less worried after this video
It was so informative... now I can understand a lot about this topic. BTW, in future videos, can you provide like examples of photos taken with the adaptor and speedbooster? Thanks again for your videos!!! You're awesome!!!
I bought both the viltrox adapter and the speedbooster, my opinion is that whatever lens I have and the kind of composition I want for my photo I could use either adapter for that. If I want a creamier background the the speedbooster it is or for a closer/macro shot or even just using an ef lens then the ordinary adapter it is.
Great video. Most speed boosters have a focal reduction of 0.71 That is a rounded down number that actually should be 1/√2 (which can also be written as √2/2) This means that is exactly increases the light inlet by one stop.
New subscriber here! Just bought the m50, made the mistake of reviewing mark ii comparisons and immediately thought I made a mistake. Thanks for making so much content about the m50, in large part your videos helped my decision and also talked me off the mistake ledge, lol. You’re videos are great and easy to follow for a novice like me. Keep me coming.
I just purchased a canon m50 as a gateway into photography. I have learned so much from your videos so far and recently purchased the viltrox adapter. This video in particular has given me great insight on the differences between the speed booster and adapter. I definitely plan on purchasing the speed booster as well for low light situations.
I plan to buy a 50mm 1.8 f lens with a canon m50 mark ii (crop 1.7X) so would a speed booster be suggested or just an adaptor, i need to use this lens for portrait photography. I am new to this , thanks in advance. 🙏
I watch your videos from Colombia, you are the best teacher ever, each video is pretty much better than previous.. now i learn photography and english, thanks for speak slowly , i really appreciate it. 🙏🙏🙏🙏 thanks a lot.

I wanna know, how do you edit ur video. Im planning to buy a good lptp/pc to make editing smooth, still havent decided
Have your tried the Metabones and rhe Viktrox speed booster? Any real advantage for paying double the price for the Metabones? Thanks
Every other youtuber explaination: "Speed Boosters pretty much work like magic"
Sagi: "Let's dive into the pythagorean theorem"
You guys crack me up - so funny 😂🤣
Appreciate you so much!

_But First We Need to Talk About Parallel Universes_
The “Magic” explanations are good for us dummies though. This was a lot to take in.
Finally! Contrary to other channels You explained everything without "sensor war" bias. Without omitting certain details to suit agenda. Very informative and on point. Kudos to You. Your channel became my favourite regarding photography gear. Keep it coming. Thank You. :)
I'm so glad this video resonated. My hope was just to share the facts with no judgement. Appreciate you being part of the channel 🙏
This is a legendary level of nerdy😍🔥 love it tho! An Interesting yet a confusing topic, thanks for sharing the knowledge
This comment is awesome! "Legendary level of nerdy" is now my favorite!
Sagi is never confusing! PULL IT BACK!!
For some reason my head is smoking after listening to this!
@@californiahiker9616 mines too... hahahhaha.. really great stuff
Lol, enta bt3ml eh hena @mekawi 😂
Best explanation video on the difference between adapters and speed boosters yet!
Glad it was helpful. Thank you for being part of the channel!
This has to be the best explanation of F-stop, Focal length and how they work together with a camera with or without an adapter. Thank you!! This was awesome and I haven't even gotten to the actual adapter vs speed booster part. lol. Well done man!

Glad you like the videos Steve. I like Rochester - winters were rough 😂
Hey, Man! I was really confused about this topic and you just made a video! KEEP THE CONTENT COMING
I know this video had A LOT in it - hope it helped.
I knew all of this, through what I must say was quite an extensive research, reading articles, watching multiple videos and linking it all. This video is probably the only which explains it all together in a simple manner! Really great work!
Super appreciate you watching and taking the time to leave feedback. 🙏🏻

I very much appreciate the honest feedback 🙏
Man, this is a PROPERLY DONE video. This is probably what people teach in those paid courses. Great work!! Thank you for this knowledge!!
Glad it was helpful
I use the Viltrox speed booster with a 35mm EF F2 lens for my webcam setup and its beautiful. No problems with autofocus and I have the advantage of the extra stop of light. Turns the M50 into a full frame camera.
Super nice setup!
I love the depth of explanation here. Brilliance my friend! 🙌🏾
I'm not sure how this video relates to cameras but after watching this I was able to ace my geometry test!
Amazing work as usual. Best photography channel for beginners and intermediate by far! cheers from Argentina.
Appreciate you. Thank you for being part of the channel!
Got my first real camera recently and this is the Channel that is giving out real knowledge.
I’m so glad that this can all be explained but I still have a hard time understanding. That was a lot of math. Great job. There are some amazing folks creating all of these advancements. So cool.
I stopped the video to say thank you. Honestly your tech videos are very inspirational and informative. Your channel is by far the only channel I jump to view nowadays. Thanks!
You explain this so much better than I do. Many people don’t understand these concepts, but are quite willing to tell you that you’re wrong. Thanks!

Oh wow - so glad it was helpful! Thank you for the kind words.
I have the M50, with both the adaptor and the speed booster. I will put on either the Sigma 30mm f1.4 or the Sigma 85mm f1.4
Its like having four lenses and I have been very pleased. I very much enjoyed the video. Nice to have that much detail on the
subject. Thank you.
So true. I didnt see it that way.

Thank you very much from Finland, 🇫🇮, interested in M6 mark 2, you are the first source I understand and that makes camera world so much interesting.

Thanks so much for the kind words - please share. Thanks for being part of the channel!
I had to watch the video twice… but now I really understand the difference, and how it actually works. Thanks a lot for your didactic approach!
Great video. I actually own/use both, but something nobody ever seems to point out is that you cant use ef-s lenses with speedboosters because of the bit that juts out behind them. They just won't fit 😊
Thank! Appreciate you sharing. Correct - speed booster will only accept EF Mount.
Wow. I am hearing this for the first time. Did you actually try this and it did not work? Or it is just a theory. My Efs lenses woks on my full frame body. I just have to zoom in a little to remove the vignette. So are you saying crop lens will not sit at all on a speed booster?

Thx, this is the first time I have seen a bideo explaining this right. It has taken almost a year to deduct what you just presented in this video
Wow you explained that extremely well. I did not lose my attention throughout the whole video. You’re great at this. Thank you for sharing the knowledge
So glad it was helpful. Thank you for being part of the channel!
Hey buddy, I just keep coming back to your channel you have so much good info. your delivery makes It very easy to understand and grow my understanding of photography thanks Sagi.

Sagi, kudos man! I have been watching videos on your channel for a few year now, and you are such a great reference for both gear and for general knowledge pertaining photo and video. Just wanted to say thank you for continuing to put out stellar content, and I'm happy to see the channel growing. 110K subscribers and growing and you have certainly earned every one with the high level of production on your videos. Although I was fairly well informed about these topics, there was still some useful things I took from the video, and tbh, I woulda watched it all anyway cuz the videos you've been putting out are so on point. Keep up the good work!
I really appreciate you taking the time to watch and for the kind words Sean. I'm so grateful to have you as pat of the community 🙏 I've got more content coming!
Best video on UA-cam explaining these all these concept...one small tip on the math when calculating the crop factor you don't need to calculate the diagonal length since the ratio of the diagonal is the same of the ratio of either of the sides between two triangle...
Thank you - and good point.
Wow thank you I have never know any of this nor a photographer. Started researching to take some product photos for my ecommerce business and you nailed it. I completed understand what other videos are talking about now :D
I seriously need to commend you on the amount of effort you put into this video.
This was a very good video. I’m thinking of getting the 50 Mark II and I’m coming from the DSLR world. thanks to this video I now know I need to get an adapter to continue using my lenses due to the fact that this camera is mirror less. thank you so much you save me a huge headache and frustration. And hopefully you see this comment lol
Thank you! This video gave me a couple of light bulb moments and will help me with lens choice as well as adapter choice.
Bro this was deep but I loved it LOL. I went with an adapter for my M50. Thanks for making the video
This clarified so much confusion for me, these are awesome type of videos I want to understand what the numbers all mean so I know wtf I am doing!
So glad it was helpful. Thanks for being part of the channel!
If you are a teacher at school, then many students will become smart with your way of explaining. Great!
I've never understood something so good before, your explanation about camera's is exceptional
So glad it was helpful!!! Thank you for being part of the channel!
I LOVE this. I went from Fuji X-T3 to Canon 5D MkII and I just love Fuji too much after a year with Canon but I do love some of the Canon lenses and have been stressing for an explanation of the full frame lens to APS-C use and this answered every question I had. Thank you SO much
So glad it was helpful.
This is straight up the most in-depth video explaining the topic I've ever watched. I know this is old but damn... 100/100. Fantastic and informative video.
This video is super helpful and detailed. It's one of those that will stand the test of time, and be relevant YEARS from now. Fantastic content as usual! Why go to school when you can just find this type of content on UA-cam?
Thanks so much Brett - I'm super appreciative of the feedback 🙏
I feel My cpu has overheated i have to come back later
finally someone who explains the numbers and helps my brain to see what I didn't see before. Very helpful!
I learned more in 21 mins watching this than I have in years - great job!
Super glad to hear that Steve. Thanks for being part of the channel!
Finally opened my eyes, thank you! Have a great day!
Real information is very important over the fluff of opinion. You have cleared up many mysteries for me. Thanks for your professional presentation.
Appreciate the feedback Greg 🙏🏻 thanks for being part of the channel.
these videos are incredible. keep them coming! i'd love to see someone discuss the evolution of sensors; I been recently obsessed with the magic behind bayer cmos sensors that DJI and some others are using. i'm not sure if it's completely applicable to what you like talking about on your channel, but some of these advancements/tricks are pretty fascinating.
Thank you for the super kind words Brandon 🙏
Let me see what I can do!
Very nerdy but filled with very very important information. Love it 💛
The best and most lucid explanation on this topic! 🙌🏻
Hi, I have canon SL2, does the speedboster fit? I've been trying to find info on this, but couldn't find any clear confirmation. I know the speedbooster does fit and work on canon M series.
I’ve watched a few of your videos and appreciate how you break down the information. I’m new and I’m looking at the canon m50. Thx again.
Thanks you for considering my request for this video. Clear and detailed explanation. Video also covers many basic things more than just the speed booster topics. Keep doing great videos like this. 👍
So glad it was helpful!
This was an excellent video. You clearly explain everything for anyone to understand it. You are a good instructor . Keep up the excellent work you do. Many thanks.
I think I will get an adapter first before I buy a speed booster. I have a lot of Canon EF glass and I want to upgrade from my Canon 5D Mark II to the Canon m50 Mark II for the mirror less experience and benefits over DSLR. But I will buy an speed booster later to try out the effects and experiment verses the adapter. Thank you for this video as it is very clear and helpful.
There is a difference between a review made by an user and a pro like you! Man best video ever on the subject. Thank you for it. You’re totally the best!
I appreciate that! Hope it was helpful!
Thanks for the tips on the M50. Can you help with tip on long zooms (100-400mm) and the EF-M 55-200mm. Having problems with sharpness.
It's hard to answer without more detail. Maybe I'll do a liveshow
Explained so well ! This video is being book marked - to be referred to and to share it with others ! Thanks much
You’re such a great instructor. You make the difficult easy to understand. Thank you.
You are so welcome! I'm so glad it was helpful. This was a tough one to tackle.
Finally someone who can explain properly the pros and cons of both
I’m glad it was helpful.
Wow, what a complete video. I walked away having learned something complete with no useless fluff. I hate fluff.
As far as speed boosters, it makes no sense to me to buy a regular adapter instead. Having both is obviously the best for the reasons that you explained.
The more I watch this channel the more astounded I am by the amount of work this guy puts in his videos.
Appreciate you Victor 🙏
Oh my gosh! Actual maths 😃 Simply the best explanation of focal length, aperture and crop factor. E-v-e-r! 📸
Wow, thanks! So glad you enjoyed it Martin 🙏
This is the most detailed explanation that I’ve seen. Very well done! I have and use both depending on the lens and what I’m trying to achieve.
Appreciate the feedback 🙏
This guy is good! I say this mostly because he does a great job in reviewing the "tech backstory," or stuff about WHY things happen - and the math behind f/stops, etc. Stuff I learned 60 years ago, thank God. Most photographers these days are prisoners of all that automation in modern slrs, which are actually computers that capture light (hence, Dslr's). When you can rely on your BRAIN, you are always better off. So his "tech backstory" is the best part of his presentation. All the other stuff - that is, why we tuned in, is actually less important.
I just ordered a Viltrox EF EF-S to EF-M adapter. It was only $37. I ordered a Canon EOS M camera for $109 (that is not a misprint). I also ordered a Kamlan 50mm f/1.1 EF-M lens. That lens will be fun with only manual focus. My Canon EF-S 24mm f/2.8 lens need the adapter as do the EF 50/f1.8 and EF 75-300 (f/4 to f/5.6) lenses. The Kamlan was only $129. I think it will all work out pretty good. I am currently using a Canon SL2 camera so I am used to APS-C sensors. I just couldn't pass up a chance to get the M for cheap !!!
Your video was very helpful. Thank you very much. I'm not a math guy, but your explanation was very easy to follow and now I know what my needs are in terms of adapters and speedboosters. :)
Brilliant video, the best I have come across so far. Extremely well explained, not just about the adaptors but also the crop factor and focal length, the aperture, the field-of-view etc. Thank you so much.
So glad it was helpful Jay. Thank you for being part of the channel!
This is a great explanation! I wish I had this sooner, it would have saved hours of research I had to find on my own.
I'm so glad to hear that Dan - appreciate the feedback 🙏
Wow, what a wonderfully informative video! You went above and beyond, dude!
Sagi has a way of explain things that makes it clear. Now I want a speed booster...and know how and when to use it. Thx for putting this video together. I'm looking forward the one about aperture.
Appreciate the feedback Ruben! Thank you for the time!
I just buy a Vitrox Speed Booster (for Canon M6 - First version) but after that I will get the other one too. Thank you so much!
Wow! what a deep (but enlightening) dive into the math of how crop factor functions. Thank you!
You are very welcome Steve. Glad it was valuable.
Awesome explanation of everything you went over there’s a lot of amateurs out there making videos and blog posts that make it hard to know what’s what but it’s clear you have a firm grip on the subject 👍🏻
I really needed that explanation!!
Thanks!! :D
Glad to hear that!
so glad i came across this. i slapped the 50mm with an adapter on a M50 and was planning on using it as a secondary camera for an upcoming event. im less worried after this video
It was so informative... now I can understand a lot about this topic. BTW, in future videos, can you provide like examples of photos taken with the adaptor and speedbooster? Thanks again for your videos!!! You're awesome!!!
So glad it was helpful. When I watched it after publishing, I thought the same thing. Examples would help!
Finally an answer i can trust in regards of how this works!
So glad it was helpful Oscar!
I bought both the viltrox adapter and the speedbooster, my opinion is that whatever lens I have and the kind of composition I want for my photo I could use either adapter for that. If I want a creamier background the the speedbooster it is or for a closer/macro shot or even just using an ef lens then the ordinary adapter it is.
Great video. Most speed boosters have a focal reduction of 0.71 That is a rounded down number that actually should be 1/√2 (which can also be written as √2/2) This means that is exactly increases the light inlet by one stop.
New subscriber here! Just bought the m50, made the mistake of reviewing mark ii comparisons and immediately thought I made a mistake. Thanks for making so much content about the m50, in large part your videos helped my decision and also talked me off the mistake ledge, lol. You’re videos are great and easy to follow for a novice like me. Keep me coming.
This video is excellent! Great explanation of focal length and aperture,. 🙌🏼
this channel is super helpful and informative!
I just purchased a canon m50 as a gateway into photography. I have learned so much from your videos so far and recently purchased the viltrox adapter. This video in particular has given me great insight on the differences between the speed booster and adapter. I definitely plan on purchasing the speed booster as well for low light situations.
I plan to buy a 50mm 1.8 f lens with a canon m50 mark ii (crop 1.7X) so would a speed booster be suggested or just an adaptor, i need to use this lens for portrait photography.
I am new to this , thanks in advance. 🙏
Thanks sagi for this content, I am amazed how you explained this. And for me, I'm glad I have both adapters so I have options based on my preferences
I watch your videos from Colombia, you are the best teacher ever, each video is pretty much better than previous.. now i learn photography and english, thanks for speak slowly , i really appreciate it. 🙏🙏🙏🙏 thanks a lot.
So glad I could help Pablo!
