Future Speed Boosters™

When will m4/3 cameras be supported?
We apologize but the m4/3 schedule is slipping.
Manual focus lenses such as Nikon, Leica R, Contax C/Y, Contarex, ALPA and Rollei will be supported in the second half of 2013.

Canon EF lens (but not EF-S) support is planned in the future, but we do not have an estimated date yet.

The m4/3 version also reduces focal length by a 0.71x factor. So, the combined focal length multiplier of a m4/3 camera and Speed Booster is 1.4x. (2x from camera x 0.71x from Speed Booster.) The optics are optimized for the smaller sensor size.

A slipping Birger-esque schedule???

The conundrum where if you repeatedly travel half the distance to your destination, you will never actually arrive... :huh:
 
...I don't think so. birger never released anything. Metabones has the nex speed booster as proof-of-concept. Engineering is always falling behind. It's a fact of life. Keep the faith. The m4/3 to ef sounds like a communication problem between systems....and I'd be satisfied with only control of aperture...forget IS and AF..... and I would like to know if they discover whether an m4/3 to fd is even possible.

Im sure I have seen somewhere that Tokina have a Cine version of the 11-16 coming out in the same vain as Duclos, a few hundred dollars more but it has declicked geared aperture ring and geared focus and zoom rings with more travel. Worth looking out for ;)
