GH4+RJ speedbooster+Leica

[Alvise Tedesco]

Pretty happy with RJ speedbooster (dumb EOS-M4/3).
Snug fit lens side. Little play camera side. Pretty inexpensive
Lens wide open, RJ emphasize inherent softness. Stopped down to 5.6, all lenses perform as they do mounted directly on my Scarlet.
Not sure, but probably if I had just closed down 1 stop from max aperture I could have improved IQ to more than usable.

I would have love to see more representative tests using this combo indeed.... if you do , please share... Thanks
How vintage lens help to get away the clinical image of the gh4, and maybe help to get a flatter image, easier to grade as well...

I've been using R primes with Nikon mount conversions with and without the Metabones Nikon SB. Could scarcely find nicer glass for the price.

The dumb EOS mft speedboosters are intriguing as a less expensive route to using my old OM Zuikos
