Limitations

Each lens needs to go through a calibration procedure <click to view> when first used. EF-X Mount Speed Booster ULTRA or EF-X Mount Smart Adapter will gather metadata by turning focus to infinity and minimum when the power is turned ON for the first time. If the lens has a focus limiter switch, set it to FULL prior to turning on the camera. Set camera to AF-S and use the autofocus a few times, although during the initial calibration stage the AF performance may be subpar and you may experience difficulty locking onto subjects. For a zoom lens, it is also necessary to zoom to both the wide end and the telephoto end of the zoom range. Turn off the camera to complete the calibration procedure. If calibration is successful the Speed Booster ULTRA or Smart Adapter will no longer turn focus to minimum the next time the camera starts up. If this calibration procedure is not completed properly, there may be problems such as excessive hunting, difficulty locking onto targets, inaccurate AF, incorrect parallax correction on X-Pro series and incorrect distance scale display on the camera (if enabled). Continuous autofocus (AF-C) and video autofocus may not work on some cameras such as X-T100. Increasing FOCUS SENSITIVITY and decreasing AF SPEED is required under the AF-C CUSTOM SETTING (MOVIE) menu. For video, aperture priority or manual exposure is recommended to avoid exposure flickering. Fujifilm cameras require fine aperture control but EF lenses are not capable of controlling the aperture with sufficient granularity. AF+MF and lens aberration correction are not supported.  Distance displayed by camera is approximate but may not match the lens' distance scale. Older optics which do not report distance information will display an incorrect distance on the camera. Parallax correction on X-Pro series is approximate and may not be accurate. Older optics which do not report distance information do not support parallax correction at all. All but the smallest EF lenses block a significant portion of the optical viewfinder. AF Range Limiter is supported only on newest Fujifilm cameras and require distance information support from the lens. If the option is greyed out try setting it in movie mode. The adapter has no aperture ring. On a camera with no mode dial, configure the "APERTURE SETTING" menu option to "AUTO+MANUAL" and use the camera's front or rear dial to change aperture. The auto setting comes after the minimum aperture. Aperture diaphragm in Programmed and Shutter Priority exposure modes may make frequent noises with older lenses. In reality, all Fujifilm X-Mount lenses make frequent aperture diaphragm moves during use but native lenses and the latest adapted lenses taking advantage of Metabones' smooth iris feature can do so quietly without making noticeable tick noises. With IS/OS/VC lenses the IS MODE setting is ignored and both SHOOTING ONLY and CONTINUOUS modes behave in the same way which is similar to a Canon camera but different from what Fujifilm OIS lenses do. This is done to maximize IS effectiveness. A negative consequence of this is that there may be no OIS during focus check.

Electronic Features

• Phase-detection autofocus (PDAF) is supported no matter which AF lens is used. Adapters support PDAF by translating pertinent metadata about the optics between the lens interfaces. In this way, broad support of the widest range of lenses is made possible.
• Excellent video AF and AF-C performance on cameras with PDAF support.
• Electronic manual focusing (e.g. EF 85/1.2L II, EF 50/1.8 STM and discontinued EF 50/1.0L)
• Lens iris/aperture is set by the controls on the camera body.
• Both optical image stabilization (IS) lens and in-body image stabilization (IBIS) support, with complete control over which one to use.
• Smooth iris support with the latest Canon (2009+), Tamron (SP series 2013+) and Sigma (2016+) lens models.
• LED indicator shows communication status and whether a match is found in the TruePDAF Technlogy™ database. 
• Powered by camera body. With most lenses, no external power source required.

Mechanical Features

• 'T' true flocking to reduce internal reflection.
• Rubber gasket protects the camera mount connection from dust and moisture.
• Aluminum alloy and brass construction with chromium plating.
• Satin surface finish.
• Detachable tripod foot compatible with Arca Swiss Style ball head, such as Markins and Photo Clam or attach to quick release plate by a 1/4"-20 screw. An optional Metabones Mount-Rod Support Kit II is available to securely mount the adapter to your 15mm support rods system.

Unsupported List

Native teleconverters Lens correction such as peripheral shading, CA and distortion  AF may not work if the maximum aperture of the lens plus any EF Extender or other teleconverter attached is smaller than f/8. Some early film-era lenses have a large amount of backlash and may not be able to achieve the AF accuracy required for digital cameras. Old lenses with faulty sensors due to wear and tear may lead to AF problems on a mirrorless camera even though the lens may appear to function normally on a DSLR. Focus confirmation "chip" (e.g. Dandelion) M42 screw mount adapters (see note 3) Stacking non-Metabones/non-Conurus mount adapters on top (see note 3 and list of lenses which require modification below.)

 

Notes:

Note(1) CN-E Compact-Servo lens with some cameras may require external power to autofocus.

Canon CN series (without the E suffix) always require external power supplied through a 12-pin Hirose connector.

Use of Canon Compact-Servo Cinema lenses such as CN-E 18-80mm T4.4 for still photography is not supported. (May be functional, but much slower than lenses designed for still photography.)

Note(2) With fast lenses (faster than f/1.4), the pre-boost apertures will be displayed in the camera.

Note (3) Some improperly-made M42 screw mount adapters may short the electronic contacts of the Speed Booster/ Smart Adapter and cause damage to the adapter and/or camera body.

 

List of manual focus lenses which REQUIRE MODIFICATION to be used on Speed Booster^®

Many manual focus lenses have rear protrusions (spikes, levers, other appendages) which would damage the optics and/or housing of Speed Booster^® They need to be modified before they can be safely used on Speed Booster^® Check and make sure there are no rear protrusions from the adapter/lens combination before using on Speed Booster^®. Scratches and damages caused by rear protrusions or by poor quality adapters are not covered by warranty. The following is an incomplete list of lenses known to be incompatible.

Leica R Super-Elmar-R 15mm Elmarit R 28/2.8 Elmarit R 35/2.8 Summicron R 50/2

Nikon F 20/2.8 AI-S

Olympus OM OM 18/3.5 OM 21/2 OM 21/3.5 OM 28/2.8 OM 50/1.8

Pentax K Every Pentax K-mount lens has a protruding fin and an aperture lever. It does NOT fit.

 

Speed Booster® ULTRA - Sharper corners, less distortion, reduced vignetting

• Increase maximum aperture by 1 stop. (with a maximum output aperture of f/0.9).
• Increase MTF (details).
• Makes lens 0.71x wider.
• Advanced 5-element/4-group optical design incorporating ultra-high index tantalum-based optical glass by Caldwell Photographic in the USA (patent granted).

Like the revolutionary original Metabones Speed Booster® announced in January 2013, the Speed Booster ULTRA has a magnification of 0.71x, and so it effectively reduces the crop factor of mirrorless cameras with DX-sized sensors(APS-C), such as Sony E-mount and Fuji X-mount cameras, from 1.5x to 1.07x.  However, the new ULTRA design makes very effective use of exotic materials at the furthest limit of glassmaking technology, and as a result is well corrected for use with virtually all full-frame SLR lenses regardless of exit pupil distance. Thus, the Speed Booster ULTRA performs extremely well with professional-grade f/2.8 zoom lenses such as the 24-70mm f/2.8 and 70-200mm f/2.8 zooms by Canon and Nikon to produce 17-50mm f/2.0 and 50-142mm f/2.0 high-speed zooms, respectively.  Similarly, high-speed fixed focal length lenses such as a 50mm f/1.2 will be transformed into a 35.5mm f/0.9 lens with excellent contrast and resolution from the center all the way to the edges of the image. (More information can be found in the press release here)

Note: Speed Booster ULTRA not only boosts the maximum aperture of the lens, but minimum, too. It is no longer possible to go down to f/22 or whatever else the minimum aperture of the lens is.
