Description
Perfect for use with the Panasonic Lumix GH4 this Nikon G to Micro Four Thirds Speed Booster XL 0.64x is designed to marry a Nikon G lens to a Micro Four Thirds camera.
When combined with this Speed Booster, the crop factor of a Micro Four Thirds camera is compensated for, by the 0.64x magnification. The Lumix GH4 becomes an APS-H format camera as the 2.0x full-frame crop factor is reduced to 1.28x. The 2.34x horizontal full frame crop factor of the GH4’s Cinema 4k video mode is pushed back to 1.50x, resulting in 4k super-35 format.
With its 1.3-stop aperture increase, this Speed Booster draws more light onto the sensor for further enriched images, even in low lighting. Hone the focal length of a 35mm lens with an extra wide aperture of f/0.80 – one of the fastest full size Micro Four Thirds apertures ever – by connecting this Speed Booster to a 50mm f/1.2 lens. Another advantage of this adapter is its ability to combine a full-frame lens and a Micro Four Thirds camera. A combination that would allow a Micro Four Thirds sensor to capture an image larger than it’s usually capable of. This Speed Booster incorporates six optical elements in four groups to precisely guide light and create gorgeous, high quality content… every time. This Speed Booster even improves a lens’ overall MTF while attached.
This adapter will maintain its high performance for years to come as its innards are housed by strong aluminium alloy. Even the connection points are built to resist wear, made of precision-machined brass with chromium plating. Your lens will be tightly held by the leaf-spring structure, ensuring consistent focussing and exact optical alignment. A push-button allows for a quick and easy lens release. This Speed Booster comes with a detachable foot that features a 3/8” threading and is capable of mounting to most tripod heads – including Arca-Swiss, Markins and Photo Clam ball heads.
As it is designed for Nikon G-type lenses, this Speed Booster provides a manual aperture dial instead of electronic aperture support. It utilizes one of the best aperture rings, with an 8-stop range and clear indications of exact f-stops. The aperture ring is de-clicked for smooth, silent depth of field adjustment. Make sure the adapter’s aperture is set to “7” before attaching a lens to it. This Speed Booster is compatible with both Nikkor G and Nikkor F lenses.
