Would any of you be interested in a Speed Booster-type adapter for the FZ-mount? I figured with the F3 being virtually as affordable as the FS700 these days, it might not be so outrageous to suggest it.
 
Don't get discouraged! No company announces a new product by a reply to an email from a prospective customer. They couldn't have told you their trade secret (if they are working on it).
 
Well it's worth sending an email about it, I did the day the speedbooster was announced... but I wouldn't hold your breath.
 
I spoke with them long time ago regarding a smart adapter for EOS (when I was still dreaming about Birger's and such). It was right after they started selling the one for FS100/700... No interest from them at all! And I am sure, they were not making that one (at the time) for "video crowd" but rather for everybody else who used still digital cameras with this Sony mount. FZ mount was too limited (for F3 only) for them to be profitable (I guess?)...
Since then, I doubt their bussines philosophy had changed...
 
I send them an email and got this response:

Sorry! We have not adapter for Sony F5/F55 now…
We will consider to develop a sony F5/F55 adapter at next half-year…


Thank you!

I got the same half year email. Keep emailing them. If they think there'ds a market they will build it. Seems to me that FZ wouyld be a bigger market than E mt but I may be way off base. I would love one of those.
