    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.

    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.

    Hi Mark, I had to revisit this video, after some time, as I was unsure of which way to go the first time around. Having taken the time to review the options, and rethink about what I was looking for, it's the adapter I want, not the speed booster. I am not looking to change my M50 ii anytime soon but wanted to consider the EF & EF-S lenses for their quality. Too bad Canon abandioned us M series owners. Lesson learned Canon. I'll be buying used. Thanks for your info and clear presentation.

  • @chingymofo1
    @chingymofo1 Před 2 lety +14

    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!

    • @markwiemels

    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.

    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.

      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.

    @Callomir Před 2 lety +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  Před 2 lety +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.

  • @Domin0ss
    @Domin0ss Před 10 měsíci +1

    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.

  • @christopherfountain7129

    I recently read a comment (not on yours) that the Viltrox adaptor has a shiny black surface on the inside which bounces stray light on the sensor. I have and use both the VILTROX adaptor and booster and the interiors of both are matt and I've never experienced the light flash he described have you?

    Mark, does the adapter(not the speed booster since I need to work with EF-S lenses) fit on the camera when the smallrig cage is on the camera? It looks like the tripod portion of the adapter may interfere with the cage?

    • @markwiemels
      @markwiemels  Před rokem

      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.

      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)

    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.

    Question for you. I have a M50 and a collection of 5 EF-M glass. I'm just a photographer with no EF lens. Do you think its worth it to start investing in a speed booster, Adapter and EF glass or in the long run just better to go with a RF second camera like RP and/or R7? PS I do want a second camera. The question is over the value of delaying getting a second camera.

    • @markwiemels

      The EF lenses do allow you to use them with RF cameras, and they are more affordable than RF lenses. RP is a lot of camera for the money, I’m a big fan.

      Buy lenses for a need not as an investment. If you need a new lens you might consider adapting EF lenses for future compatibility.
      Of you go to EOS R later then you likely want to buy RF lenses so the EF lenses would be a compromise.

    • @markwiemels
      @markwiemels  Před 2 lety +2

      That’s an APS-C lens, the speed booster takes a full frame image and squeezes it onto the smaller sensor. So essentially that lens and the speed booster are not meant to go together, so yes, what you are seeing is normal.

    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.
