Metabones speedbooster for gh4 compatible with Af100?

Still wondering if anyone can confirm the newer speedbooster will work with the af100? I don't want to damage the senso,r but would love to get the extra speed and wider angle of view.
 
I have never used this, but I can think of no reason why it would not. I believe they do not list the AF100 because it's so unpopular now, they probably never tested it. But there's really no need... the sensor size and mount is the same as the GH4, and 2 people have commented back stating it works just fine. I can think of no possible reason why this would damage the sensor.
 
Thanks for the reply :) Everything I've read confirms the original one works, but the .64 has a deeper plunge inside. Earlier posts confused me about whether they meant both adapters have been used.
 
the AF100 has a filter wheel mechanism in front of the sensor so the usable depth is much less than the GH4. I have the BMCC speed booster and it works on the GH4 but it marks the plastic around the sensor but doesn't touch the sensor. It does interfere with the mechanical shutter so you have to turn it off. Not the GH4 specific speedbooster is a bit shorter than the BMCC version but I would suspect that it would crash into the filter wheel on the AF100. The BMCC specific version certainly would.

*Disclaimer*
I have the original speedbooster. Works on all mft cameras
I also have the BMCC version speedbooster. Works on Gh4, BMCC, BMPCC, would not work on AF100

So be carefull if you are intent on trying the GH4 version on the AF100, you could scratch the filter housing.
 
Thanks alot for that info. That is exactly what I was worried about. I was hoping to get the .64 for its extra speed and fov, but I think I'll get the .71 to keep it safe.
