Metabones EF to MFT speed booster and GH5 compatibility issues

[tomsemiterrific]

As many of you know the Metabones T Speed Booster XL 0.64x Adapter for EF lenses to MFT that worked find for the Panasonic GH4 does not work well at all on the new Panasonic GH5.

Does anyone know if Metabones is addressing this problem? And if they are when they might have a firmware update to solve the issue make make EF mount lenses functional on the GH5?

Latest firmware on the booster? Just start it in green mode. It s a kinda temporary solution since a new firmware update should be in the works

I'm sorry. I have no idea what you mean by "green mode." Not sure about the latest firmware? What is it?

A new firmware is imminent but for the time being this workaround may be useful:

usually i would ask if you don t read manuals when you buy new things. But i didn t read it either. Then i would say just google, and in my case for example, it took my like 2 minutes to check the firmware and go to the Metabones page and check what green mode is:

Also check that you have 2.62 firmware, it s not supporting canon zoom lenses on gh5 in other than green mode, but works better than with the old firmware. even Sigma 18-35 works with af in some way with this firmware. For example, i bought my booster last week and it had firmware 1.7 on it...
