Really degrades and softens the image. :(

I received this adapter last night. I was excited when I wanted to use my 18-35 Sigma Cinema lens on my BMPCC 4K. While the adapter attached my lens to my camera" there is a noticeable difference in sharpness. The speed enhancer is great as I get more light and a wider view out of my lenses, but unfortunately the image quality with this adapter isn't very good for me. Totally washed out blurry Lights.It was difficult even focus on the shot if I could at all.Unfortunately I will be returning…

  • Slim design
Cons
  • Everything is fine

Well built but will not work with an EF-S lens

When I bought this adapter I was under the impression that it would work with an EF-S lens as advertised. What you'll see upon purchase is the presence of a USB port, which prevents the EF-S lens from even getting close to the mount. Overall, the adapter does what an EF lens is supposed to do. I love it and use it all the time with my BMPCC4K. The 3 stars are mainly due to the fact that the adapter had to adapt the EF-S lens. I had a few hiccups when I had a set of EF-S 10-18mm lenses and had…

Pros
  • Great overall performance
Cons
  • weak

There seems to be halos and loss of sharpness

As you know, speed boosters are very cool. With my Sigma 18-35mm it reads at f/1.3. The field of view in 4K is slightly more cropped compared to Super 35 on the C100. At 1080p it's a bit wider. I do notice some vignetting at 1080 resolution, but it's serviceable. Fits snugly on an 18-35mm lens. Easy game when connecting to the camera. (G7) Photos show a Sigma 18-35mm f/1.3 lens at 18mm. and without 18mm speed booster. I need to do more testing to prove this, but I find that the picture quality…

  • Inspires confidence

Fantastic and affordable Metabones alternative

Bought this for my Blackmagic Pocket Cinema 4K camera and it works great. I have several adapters from Metabones, but I wanted to try this one and was not disappointed. In fact, I don't see any visual difference to the Metabones Speedbooster when editing, although it costs three times less than the Metabones. The Commlite fits snugly into the camera body and the lens fits perfectly. I tested it with several lenses but my choice is the Sigma Art series. Electronic iris control works great on…

Solid adapter for 1/3 the price of a Metabones Speedbooster.

The Commlite Ef to Mft Adapter is great if you want to get a speed boost for your Micro Four Thirds camera, it allows you to control the lens aperture from the camera. There is a glass element that offers 0.71x magnification. What I like: Electronic iris control Metal lens mount Solid build quality Comes with tripod mount Good image quality for the price What I don't like: No Allen key to remove the tripod adapter. When the lenses are wide open, there is a loss of detail. (You can look at the…

Great speed booster!

This accelerator is a reliable little guy! I'm using it on my Panasonic Lumix G9 with Canon EF lenses and it's working pretty well so far. The autofocus tends to yaw a bit, but I think it's pretty decent overall. I tend to stick to manual mode (manual focus as well as manual mode) for video work and I prefer it. Everything is fine for photography with autofocus. Not as fast as my native camera, but I'm pretty impressed with the optics so far. It's nice to have a slightly larger aperture for…

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Protection

Commlite never updated the firmware after years of selling this

. This product is simply not supported. It was never updated to support most EF cameras and lenses it claims to work with. Compare that to other manufacturers like Metabones, who release firmware updates frequently, and Viltrox, who at least release updates from time to time (though not enough). The ENTIRE BACKGROUND of such a product is to be compatible with lenses and cameras in the real world. Ongoing support is the whole game. When companies like this fly by and don't deliver on their own…

Pros
  • 0.71x Focal Reducer Booster
Cons
  • Slightly dented

Doesn't overshadow Metabones, but has a unique character

This Commlite adapter does what you expect: reduces the effective focal length and brightens the image. The build materials feel solid and the adapter itself is a good weight. The tripod collar is also very tight, so don't worry about using it as the main attachment point. The only downside is that the optics don't quite come close to Metabones. Within 1 stop from a fully open camera, there is noticeable softness, especially in the corners of the footage. It was exhausting enough for me that I…

Pros
  • Autofocus function and aperture control
Cons
  • Fade Out

I am a professional photographer/videographer and needed a speed booster for my professional work with my Panasonic Micro Four Thirds cameras. This is my review of the cheap Commlite EF to MFT accelerator. If you don't want to read the whole review my final conclusion is value for money, I recommend the Speedbooster. Build Quality: This is an all metal build which is great. The adapter fits snugly in all the lenses I've attached to it. I've read in other reviews that the adapter's connection to

Pros
  • USB port firmware updated
