Has anyone tried the metabones speed booster with the tokina 11-16 2.8 lens. Just wanted to hear any feedback you guys had about that combo. Thanks
 
....originally i used this combo for my blackmagic pocket and had excellent results. I too want to try it now with my new gh4; have no doubt it will be just as good especially shot in 4k.
 
I also use the combo (Nikon mount). Works well. Edges can become soft wide open, but not obnoxiously so.
 
sinapps, how is the 24-120 operationally? Is it at all parfocal? Is there light loss on the long end?

I'd long been eyeing it as being in just the right range and speed (boosted), but wasn't certain of the other factors and never moved to rent one.

I have not done extensive testing, but... it has a constant aperture and I do not notice any light loss. It acts like a parfocal lens, but I've not tested it with a focus pattern, just a few quick wall tests. I can't say if it actually keeps focus, or if the wider angle and greater depth of field makes up for focus shift.
