An EF to Micro 4/3 adapter ring offering 0.64x magnification. Designed for GH5, GH4, GH3, G3, G5, G6, G7, G10, GF3, GF5, GF6, GX1, GX8, GX80/GX85, Olympus E-PL7, PEN-F and Blackmagic Cinema Cameras with MFT, Pocket Cinema Camera and Micro Cinema Camera mounts . The Speed Booster XL 0.64x features an advanced 6-element optical design, for extraordinary performance at apertures up to f/0.80: a new record for the Micro 4/3 format.
The new Speed Booster XL 0.64x reduces the Panasonic GH4's full-format vignetting from 2.0x to 1.28x, achieving an APS-H format. When the GH4 is used in Cinema 4k mode, horizontal full-format vignetting is reduced from 2.34x to 1.50x, transforming the GH4 into a Super 35 format 4k camera. In addition, the speed of each attached lens is increased by 1 1/3 stops, with a maximum output aperture of f/0.80 when an f/1.2 lens is used. For example, a 50mm f/1.2 becomes a 32mm f/0.80, which is the fastest aperture available for the full-size Micro 4/3 format.
