Will they make a metabones speed booster for my Emount lenses?

[stanley k.]

I was wondering if anyone out there knows if they will make an E mount to E mount metabones speedbooster? I have a 50mm 1.8, a 35mm 1.8, a 18-200 (lens with purchase) and a rokinon 85mm 1.5, and they are all E-mount! I would love the extra stop. is there a workaround? any rumours? Thanks!

no they wont.

the thing exploits the fact that the canon, and nikon (etc) flange is further away from the sensor than the e and mft flanges - hence there is space for a lens element in the adapter.

Adding to morgans post, I don't think e-mount lenses cover a fullframe sensor. Just got my speedbooster today and having my 24-105 f4 turn into a roughly 17-75mm f2.8 with IS is just the beezkneez.

That's not true. The lens with speedbooster is 24-105. Without Speedbooster, on APSC (or super 35mm), it was 36mm-158mm (35mm eqv)

Depends on how you translate the numbers really and whether you're coming from full frame photography or 35mm motion film but this has been argued to death. I think about it purely in terms of field of view.
