Fullframe speedbooster for GH4? Is this possible?

[alohype]

Hi everyone!
Is it possible to develop a speedbooster that will reduce GH4's crop factor to become close to full frame? Is it technically/optically possible?
Thanks!

I was investigating using medium format lenses to Full Frame but got busy and forgot about it.

No, it's technically impossible, since no external add-on can possibly increase the physical size of the sensor, nor can it manipulate the camera's internal image capture.

Only in theory, and you would lose the 1 F-Stop speed increase. Be happy that with the Speedboosters we already have.

Full frame field of view I should add to be precise.

Of course it is technically possible but the light would probably have to be put through the correction glass at such extreme angles that it would be be hard/expensive to make, or be crappy and rammed with aberrations.

I'm sure it's possible. Just like there are 2.0X TCs a 0.5 FR shouldn't be impossible.
