XL is all the way to go once beyond an extra 1/3 stop, you get more or less the same focal length at least, if not even wider -- 16 against 19 (FF equivalent): (18mm * 0,64 = 11,52 * 1,28 = 14,7456** with vignetting, but) 20mm * 0,64 = 12,8 * 1,28 = 16,384** without vignetting (according to some reports) 25mm * 0,64 = 16 * 1,28 = 20,48** without vignetting On Ultra without vignetting: 18mm * 0,72 = 12,96 * 1,48 = 19,1808** On the other end, you can lose zoom range with: 35mm * 0,64 = 22,4 * 1,28 = 28,672** against: 35mm * 0,72 = 25,2 * 1,48 = 37,296** Nothing a pretty affordable 50mm f/1.4 (1 stop faster then) won't solve: 50mm * 0,64 = 32 * 1,28 = 40,96** ** FF 35mm format equivalent :-) Thanks for the precise math!...my speedbooster XL is Nikon mount, and you're right....it will go wider than the Ultra as one can zoom and note where the vignette disappears and you gain an actual 1/3 of a stop over the ultra too....really a no brainer when it comes to a choice of buying either the XL or the Utra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried out the FOCUS PULL feature, it will be a lifesaver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps a sweet spot may save the grace in order to prevent any hunting? 3 minutes ago, Fritz Pierre said: The focus pull feature is actually the only time I could see not using manual focus...truth be told, the main reason I bought the Leica 12-60 I also find tap-to-focus pretty useful and a midway between AF and manual. Also possible to go from AFC and MF, so maybe with different results? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotchtape Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Ok stupid question from me: for IBIS with manual lens you input the focal length of the lens right? (Not the 35mm equivalent with 2x crop factor.) For example you put on 50mm lens, you enter 50mm. You use normal speedbooster and 50mm, you enter 35mm. Is this right? The manual doesn't explain this. I got confused the first time I used it and put in 70mm for SB+50mm (35*2) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotchtape Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Update: Focus transition does work with SB+Sigma 18-35mm Using the focus transition with the SB+Sigma 18-35mm does work provided you use the AF function from the camera to set the points. Previously I used MF to set the focus points and this did not work as the camera would not return to the previously set point. Presumably you should not touch the focus ring during the entire process or you might throw it off. Can't seem to update my previous post now. zetty 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does tap-to-focus work with SpeedBooster + Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotchtape Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 By now it should be obvious that if you need useable and consistent af-c this camera is not for you. There's only 2 cameras I can think of with decent IQ that do it - $15k c300 mk ii and little box of compromises A6500. I probably missed a few... Xt2? But it has no touch screen and no ibis. You will need to wait a while until the next cycle or two... mercer and jonpais 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This thread is not for opinions and discussions about such things. There are, however, many many threads that would greatly benefit from such input.

Ken Ross Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 I had no issue, but that's because my settings were as described in the answer that followed on that page: "Okay, using parkgt's feedback, I figured out how to get it to work as well. AFS (not AFF) has to be selected both within the camera setting and on the external AF switch. If the menu setting is set to AFF OR the external AF switch is set at AFC, the manual override/lock button won't work. From what I've read the selection of AFS or AFF doesn't impact the autofocus capabilities of the camera, so I don't see any drawback in making this change."

scotchtape Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Ok doing some runandgun today and encountered this several times: gh5 a bit laggy, hit record, takes like 5-6 (or more) seconds before camera starts recording. Happened at least 3 times today. Also a but laggy in general some times. Anyone else get this? Saw a Reddit post on it but not many answers. Shooting in movie mode, manual everything and MF. Stabilizer on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
