Hi all. Do you think I can use a Canon to Nikon adapter with the Nikon G to m43 Speed Booster with my GH3? I want to use Nikon lenses and Canon EOS lenses on the Speed Booster. Do you think the Canon to Nikon adapter will screw things up? No word on when Metabones will release Canon EOS to m43 Speed Booster ...
 
Speedbooster is available in EF to NEX with full electronics, but you have to be careful what adapters you use with it; some metal adapters may short out the lens contacts and damage the SB.

No such adapter exists, as it can't be done. Canon bodies can use Nikon lenses because they are thinner than Nikon bodies ( the distance from the lens mount to the camera sensor is less with Canon bodies than Nikon bodies ), so there's room to squeeze in a mount adapter between the Canon body and the Nikon lens.

Micro 4/3 bodies and Sony NEX bodies can mount almost any lens because the camera bodies are really thin, so there's room for all kinds of adapters between the camera body and the lens.
 
Well, there are cheap adapters that would introduce a (usually) poor optical adaptation and likewise poor mechanical aperture, but those are generally best avoided
