$105 AUD. Anyone tried one of these yet? EF to M43 Speedbooster adapter.

Here is an even cheaper one: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/190965096361?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

 (Seller has better feedback).

 

Thoughts?

Here's a review on the original Chinese clone, the lens turbo which was priced at about $230 http://www.mirrorlessworld.com/?p=6265 and I'm assuming these are even lousier.

okay, so after some more digging, here are some people who have bought it and their thoughts:

I just bought it and it should arrive around Feb 20 (seller is away due to closing of postal office, chinese new year).

 

Ill update when it arrives. From what I have read so far, it doesnt match up to the Metabones (but its 1/3 of the price, so I can't complain too much.)

How much does this reduce the focal length by? I need to get a wide lens for my emp-2 and an adapted 10-20 might work well, assuming the focal length doesn't jump too much

$105 is so cheap though
