Thanks for that Brian. I emailed them some time back and the response was that it was on their roadmap to be produced. Now it appears that it may not be a sure thing, but rather still up in the air. Well here's hoping. I mainly shoot old Rokkors and an SR speedbooster would make me really have no need for the new FF NEX that will be coming out.Metabones is interested in developing a Minolta MD version, but as far as I know this is still just something that is being investigated rather than a definite product plan. The QA page on the Metabones site is pretty accurate for questions like this: Questions?
This is another FL, I would have trouble choosing a lens for! I tried the humble OM 28/2.8, Nikkor 28/2.8, Elmarit 28/2.8, a Vivitar S1 28/1.9...all look good to me with the SB combo!C/Y 28/2.8 @ f/2
Thanks for your kind comments - I hope the SB is a useful tool for your work.Thanks for that Brian. I emailed them some time back and the response was that it was on their roadmap to be produced.

I would like to personally thank you for the work you did to make the speedbooster a reality. It is an incredible new product and I know many people, myself included, are very excited about it.
Thank you for publishing sample images! In many respects the Zeiss 35-70/3.4 looks like a very promising lens for use with the SB since its exit pupil distance (not to be confused with focal length) passes right through the 60-65mm "sweetspot".Thanks Brian,
Your assistance has been so helpful on many points!

Hi Vivek, Yeah i plan to get out and take some proper photos that make use of the wide angle and to compare with the sigma 19/2.8. Just finishing off some samples of my C/Y 85/2.8 and will post them soon. However again are quick ones around the house.This is another FL, I would have trouble choosing a lens for!

It has been a long time since I could see the focal plane, at f/2 (or wide open) clearly delineated by a 28mm wide lens!
I look forward to seeing more samples with the C/Y 28/2.8, Slingers.
I would like to hear your thoughts on that 19mm Sigma.Hi Vivek, Yeah i plan to get out and take some proper photos that make use of the wide angle and to compare with the sigma 19/2.8.

I can not answer that directly since I only have the EOS mount SB (which IMO is identical to the R version when an R adapter is mount).Quick question...does the Summicron 50/2 require 'modification' to use on both the EF speedbooster (with R adapter) and the actual Leica R speedbooster?
Awesome, K-H :thumbs:
I see the sun is shining in your neck of the woods.
