yes that is correct! increasing the iso will make it brighter!!!   get the Pentax 25mm f1.4

Canon and everyone else need to see the potential in this and open up their cameras for 3rd party apps. Some consumer cameras already support Android apps, I'd love to see professional cameras go the same route. Imagine if the BMCC supported 3rd party apps, no one would be complaining about the lack of audio meters and tools as you'd probably be able to choose between a bunch of different audio metering apps. Same goes for every single software feature request, they would only have to worry about doing a solid camera with a good SDK, and the rest would be taken care of by third party developers. Also, different users want different things, and the way one feature is implemented might be perfect for one user but totally backwards for another user, this way we'd have options, just look at how many photography apps are out there for the iPhone, and compare what they do to what the standard Camera app does. There's no reason every single camera couldn't be like this.

For me the most exciting aspect is M4/3 becoming Super 35. The look and crop of smaller sensors doesn't much appeal to me, but some of the cameras are great, like the GH2 and 3. This solves that.   S35 becoming FF seems pretty niche to me, in comparison!

not really cynical i reflect what is going on in this weird post modern world. i reflect using bad bad english grammar : ) on the subject of your adapter i would give it 2 weeks before canon baliffs are at your door with a warrant and an nda contract. you will sign stating that you have never owned or do not understand the term speed booster. they may not even get you to sign they might just erase your memory on the doorstep. and programme your brain to buy a nice big new canon camera. mk ultra tavistock institute very easy to programme a mind. all you wanted was a little adapter and you ended being a mind controlled assassin. get rid of it asap i beg you : )

Brian Caldwell talks more and answers some questions about the Speed Booster here:   http://nikongear.com/live/index.php?/topic/47313-speed-up-your-lens/page__st__60#entry378097   Look for the "brianc1959" username.

  Exactly.  People regularly spend $1000 or more on a single lens that they might use half or a third of the time they shoot, if not less.  Forget what anamorphic enthusiasts shell out for their passions.  $400 or $600 or $700 for something like this, even if this is only a hobby?  Comparatively speaking they're giving us all a gift pricing specialized optics like this.     Elsewhere people are defending a major corporation's justifiable douchebaggery in charging $6K for tweaks to a second model in a single product development.  Meh, the internet.

Metabones is not that expensive.  The Speed booster is $400 in adapters without electronics, and $600 with electronics (EF needs electronics to change aperture).

  MaXINE! Please make a thread talking about how and what you did here TO MAKE A MIRRORLESS 5d and what sucesses and issues you had! This hacked up 5D is far more indie interesting than the "let's take the piss" 1DC...

  ... I never  signed or hereby acknowledged to any of the above at the time of purchasing any of Canon or other cameras. Non of this is enforceable nationally or internationally because they are not signed and acknowledged by purchasers at the time of purchase. Also every camera sales personal will be considered accessory and called in for witnessing. I'm sure you can imagine the mess. It is not enforceable. If it was nobody could use third party parts in their cars or high-end electronics and for sure ML could've been taken down long ago.   Almost every car ( automobile ) come with similar mombo-jombo but they don't force you to sign those pages ( some of those forms even don't have the place for signature or name of purchaser.    Something that you, Bruno the Canon man and a few overzealous sales reps don't get is the fact that ML is bringing extra sales to the brand. Think about it for a minute or two. Canon is not going to shoot themselves in the foot or the wallet.
