Metabones MB_SPEF-M43-BT6 Overview

Boost the performance of your full-frame Canon EF-mount lenses when mounted to your Micro Four Thirds camera with this fifth-generation T CINE Speed Booster XL 0.64x from Metabones. This cinema-styled electronic adapter features a positive-lock lens mount that will ensure that your adapted lenses are secure and uses optics to reduce the effects of crop factor by making the lens 0.64x wider and simultaneously increasing the maximum aperture by about 1-1/3 stop. Further improving on previous generations of Smart Adapters, this fifth-generation model now features a rubber gasket to protect the camera's mount from dust and moisture.

This adapter is equipped with numerous capabilities thanks to the use of a high-performance processor. The features include support for autofocus as well as the ability to control the aperture from the camera body. Smooth iris effects are possible as well on select lenses and 5-axis stabilization is available thanks to communication of information with supported lenses. Also, it enables electronic (focus-by-wire) manual focusing, transmits Exif data to the camera, and works with in-lens image stabilization. Additionally, distance and zoom is displayed on certain camcorders and mirrorless cameras and Cinema EOS lenses are supported when running the adapter off an external 5 VDC power supply via the micro-USB port.

Beyond electronic communication, the adapter has many physical advantages as well, such as a black felt flocking on the inside of the adapter that prevents reflections. For larger lenses, there is a removable Arca-type-compatible tripod foot with a 1/4"-20 thread on the base.

Allows users to adapt a full-frame Canon EF-mount lens to a Micro Four Thirds camera.
Optics are used with a 0.64x magnification to reduce crop factor from 2x to 1.28x and simultaneously improve the maximum aperture by one stop.
An advanced optical design with 6 elements in 4 groups that will help improve sharpness and performance of adapted lenses.
Positive-lock lens mount provides extra security when attaching large lenses.
Receives power from camera body or optional 5 VDC power supply via micro-USB port.
Electronic contacts permit transmission of data between the lens and camera enabling autofocus, auto exposure, image stabilization, aperture control from the camera body, saving Exif information, and more.
Smooth iris support with select Canon (2009 and later), Tamron (SP series 2013 and later), and Sigma (2016 and later) lenses.
Enables electronic manual focusing on lenses, such as the Canon EF 85mm f/1.2L II, that use a focus-by-wire system.
Support for distance and zoom display.
Internal felt flocking prevents reflections.
Covers 4K video area on GH4 when using APS-C format lenses.
Cinema EOS lenses are supported when an external 5 VDC power supply is used, including autofocus, auto iris, and servo zoom.
Removable Arca-type compatible tripod foot with 1/4"-20 thread.
Powered by camera body.

a must have for seamless focus

zero flex when pulling focus on cinema lenses. The lock is a bit tight on some L series zooms like the 24-105 f/4, but it still fits. It just takes a little getting used to.

Wish lenses mounted easier

Summary: Works great once set up but mounting lenses can be rough. Essential piece of gear to mount EF lenses on a GH5s but, wow, they are not easy to mount. First time took me about 15 minutes to change lenses because the alignment is so difficult, seriously I'm getting (much) faster but I still wish it was a bit quicker to find that sweet spot. Once they're locked though, they are definitely locked. Also worth noting is that the adapter comes packaged nicely inside a sturdy plastic case. Inside one finds no instructions or suggestions, let alone encouragement for the lens mounting challenges ahead. A few minutes on Youtube and various forums led me to download the Metabones desktop app from their website and upgrade the firmware before using it. This, of course, required using a cable, which was not provided, to connect the adapter to the computer via a micro USB port cleverly hidden below the silver ring. It's all working out now but, even for something this straight forward, it would be nice if, for $700 no less, the packaging at least directed you to the appropriate webpage to save some time and frustration.

One reviewer said that EF lenses with a weather-seal gasket, like the 16-35mm f/2.8L II, won't fit onto this Cine mount. Has anyone else had that problem?
Asked by: Brent
It will fit with all EF lenses, gasketed lenses need a little bit more compression to overcome the gasket.

The locking mechanism makes the lens less loose in the mount but how solid is the connection between the camera and the adapter? I assume you still have to twist to get the adapter on in the first place.
Asked by: Jingyi
The section mounting to the camera is no more or less secure than any micro four thirds mount.

Will this work connecting a Lensbaby lens originally used on a Canon 5DM4 to the new OM-1 (formally Olympus) m4/3s? Thank you.
Asked by: Linda
No, the Metabones Canon EF Lens to Micro Four Thirds Camera T CINE Speed Booster XL 0.64x (Fifth Generation) should not be used with the OM SYSTEM OM-1 Mirrorless Camera. This may interfere with the protective shutter cover and there is a possible risk of damage. Metabones does not currently have a EF speedbooster for the OM-1.

question

Hello! will this work with new Blackmagic Design Pocket Cinema Camera 4K? Thanks
Asked by: Asan D.
That depends on the glass you are using. If you use full frame lenses then it will work without any vignetting. If you are using APS-C lenses then the .71x is the choice.
