Jimbo Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Hi all, Question for anyone who owns a Panasonic GX80/85, Canon Speed booster that communicates EXIF data and the Sigma 18-35mm: If I use the Sigma 18-35mm attached via an electronic speed booster will it correctly communicate the focal length and therefore will the sensor stabilisation be correctly tuned for that focal length as you zoom in and out? I'm sure Metabones have thought about this, but with the 0.71x will 18mm be communicated as 12.78mm so the camera knows what it is dealing with? I currently own non-electronic lenses and adapters but thinking of going for the Sigma lens in Canon mount and combining it with the GX80/85 (and upcoming GH5) via a speed booster for handheld work. Would be a killer combo and could sell my Zacuto shoulder brace and not need my primes for lowlight work. Less kit is more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivanhurba Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Did anybody tested this? I have the same question but seeing it has already been asked with no answer it was worth the Up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jase Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 According to Andrew's review this works, yes. Ivanhurba 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
