Expand Luca is forum member here on the site, he created custom speedboosters for the NX1 a couple years ago (I bought one from him, and still use it all the time) and he has since created very similar focal reducers for the Ursa mini/pro.

Any info you could share with us about how they are installed, electronic contacts, estimated cost for this model, and estimated ship dates would be fantastic. Thanks in advance.

lucabutera Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 The advantage of the Magicboosrer is that it has no electronic contact. is a group of glasses that is mounted inside the body without modifying the original mount of the camera.

Emanuel Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Why the link is down now? On 8/11/2019 at 6:33 PM, mercer said: Yeah, sure if that’s important to you. Yup and the straight adapters are thin and tiny for EF. Or if you want FF Raw, you can wait for the Sigma FP and if Kipon makes a MF speedbooster for the L Mount you can use MF lenses on the FP... of course you’ll have to settle for shitty 4K instead of 6K... Expand Don't forget lack of slow motion abilities on 4K either... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emanuel Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Exactly, that's because of VAT. State is such a thief! Strange seen from abroad, isn't it? But it is what it is.

HockeyFan12 Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Shouldn't a speed booster shorten the focal flange distance? Do you have a different optical assumably designed so that this doesn't have to? As it's EF mount, would it work on C200 or EVA1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand It's been pointed out multiple times in this thread, that this speedbooster sits completely within the mount as a set of pure optical elements, it does not alter the EF mount in any way therefore does not change the focal flange distance.

docmoore Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 I assume that reverting the process will still leave indication of tampering ... so probably worth waiting till the camera is 9 months old or so ... warranty almost gone anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
