PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Metabones Speedbooster Ultrax0.71 (Canon EOS – MFT Mount)
The new Speed Booster ULTRA m43 uses an advanced 5-element 4-group optical design incorporating ultra-high index tantalum-based optical glass.  However, the new design is specifically optimized for the Micro Four Thirds sensor and filter stack, and as a result achieves an astonishing level of performance that sets a new standard for focal reducers.
