The inner opening is lined with a flocking material coating. This will further reduce internal reflection, especially when a tilt-shift (TS) lens is used.

CINE CINE Series, Featuring Patented Positive-Lock Mechanism. The CINE version is equipped with an extremely robust cine-style positive-locking mechanism to ensure that no play occurs during manual focusing. This is especially important when using PL/ EF  lenses for cinema work.
"S" Mark Adjustable flange focal distance with shims, a set of Lens Adapter Shims included for the PL-lens model.
"eND" Built-in internal electronic ND (Neutral Density) filter system.
Speed Booster Speed Booster® - Focal reducer, a special lens adapter that reduces focal length and increases the effective aperture, allowing more light to reach the sensor and making full‑frame lenses behave more full-frame-like in FOV on smaller APS‑C cameras, or Super35-like in FOV on Micro Four Thirds cameras. Key feature: Make the lens wider, brighter, and sharper. 
Using high‑index lanthanum glass (Caldwell Photographic design).

Mark II Technology (for a new generation of EF to X-mount and MFT mount adapter)

Lens profile data of supported lenses is preloaded into your Speed Booster or Smart Adapter. The LED turns pink to indicate that a matching lens profile is found and Mark II technology is operational. Click on any product below to see the list of lenses supported by Mark II Technology.
