Lots of new stuff from Panasonic

But this would counter the idea of a small body, no? You already have a great APS-C. Put Nikon glass in front of any tiny mirrorless - where's the point?
 

Smile

 

The point is that you can actually use your other glass as well, in case you'd like to do so. The speedboosters are really nice, because they increase the amount of light that falls onto the sensor, and the resolution as well. I currently have 2 EF-MFT ones, the 0.64x, and the 0.7X. Effectively, they are wide-converters which increase aperture as a result. I also ordered the the glassless version, but it is on backorder, still waiting for it Smile.

 

The metabones adapters are truly exceptional, but they do cost a little penny as well.

 

However, being able to use all my L-glass and specialist lenses on my MFT bodies without losing any of their functionality like IS and AF is an opportunity I could not resist.

 

Of course, personally I do plan on keeping both systems, the FF Canon becoming my "MF" system, and the MFT system becoming my take-with-me-at-all-times system.

 

BTW, Metabones are the same guys who make special glass for police work, like specialist UV and IR lenses, and extremely high corrected lenses, a.o., the best colour- and secondary spectrum corrected apo-lens in existence.

 

Kind regards, Wim

Gear: Canon EOS R with 3 primes and 2 zooms, 4 EF-R adapters, Canon EOS 5 (analog), 9 Canon EF primes, a lone Canon EF zoom, 2 extenders, 2 converters, tubes; Olympus OM-D 1 Mk II & Pen F with 12 primes, 6 zooms, and 3 Metabones EF-MFT adapters ....
