Álex Montoya Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 2 minutes ago, mercer said: Well, I only briefly owned the 17-55mm a few years ago so I don’t remember to be honest. The 35mm f/2 has them but I would call them soft stops. Basically, you can feel a stop on either end but the rubber grip continues to spin so it also can feel like there isn’t a stop if you’re not paying attention. But with a lot of follow focus’, you can set hard stops. With my current setup, I’m not using a follow focus so I don’t have a lot of information about which products have that feature. Ok, thanks a lot. I have a shooting coming in november and am looking for convenient alternatives. As for now, we're probably going to rent a set of Veydras.

jagnje Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 The Canon 17-55 is an ef-s lens. It will psysicaly not fit on the metabones speedboster unles you literally hack it. Don`t know about other adapters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagnje Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 could be the case but I can`t confirm as I haven`t tried it. good lens tho, I like it on the ursa pro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Álex Montoya Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 I guess this would work with the Sigma? https://www.adorama.com/kaelam43eos2.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 How about the Tamron sp 1.8 lenses? Anyone know how the stabilisation is on those ? Would be very fast lenses on the speed booster XL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took a hacksaw to an ef-s lens that I got cheap to fit on a speedbooster. The performance of the lens was so crap though that I might as well have sawn both ends off it.

buggz Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Shrug, I like my GH5, Metabones Speedbooster 0.64XL, and either 18-35 Sigma Art, or Tokina 11-16. Both lens work great, yes, there is some vignetting on the wider ends, I just zoom until I find it acceptable. Not hard to do, though, those follow focus rings would be nice to have, I will have pick some up. I want to try a Sigma Art 11-24 FF lens, no doubt I will probably get one...

Anaconda_ Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 1 hour ago, mercer said: Don’t you just have to unscrew the back guard/fin and remove it? the back fin also keeps the connections in place, so you need to saw a bit off. I did it the other day on the 10-20mm. I use it with the Viltrox EF-M2 and it's crazy wide. Strangely though, I can only zoom out to 11ish mm as I guess the glass in the lens hits a part of the booster at that point. I think it even hits the glass in the booster, so keep that in mind if you plan on doing something similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpicat Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 2 hours ago, mercer said: Don’t you just have to unscrew the back guard/fin and remove it? I have the ef-s 17-55mm and you can just pull the back part off with your fingers, no need to unscrew anything. You do need to use some force but it seems safe to do - I think it's different to newer ef-s lenses where you do have to use a hacksaw. With that part removed, it should be fine to use on a speedbooster. The focus ring on this lens has soft stops, it's nice to use - with a slightly longer focus throw than the Tamron or Sigma equivalents. The stabilisation is only 3 stops but it's very smooth for video - it doesn't jump around abruptly like some Tamron lenses or Lumix lenses seem to do when panning. The build quality isn't that great unfortunately, it feels a bit fragile considering how much it weighs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tekeela Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 I contacted my retailer (Sydney, Aus) yesterday and they said they still had no firm data on a shipping date. Also, question from a noob, why do so many Pocket 4K owners here use/want the speedbooster? This will be my first camera and I was just planning on buying a native lens. Do people use the speedbooster because it's better, or just because they already have lenses that require it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
