USED Metabones Speed Booster Ultra - Nikon G to E mount
This Converter will show little use and will exhibit a few marks and often small spots of paint loss some of which will be heavier in areas such as the barrel and mounts, light dust throughout the optics, although this will not affect image quality in any way.
Shutter Count (approximately): Not available
Supplied with: White Box, Front Lens Cap, Rear Lens Cap, 3rd party ac adapter, charger and batteries/
Not included: : Original Box, Manual, Allen Key, Tripod Foot
The Speed Booster Ultra from Metabones allows a full-frame or APS-C Nikon G F-mount lens to be mounted onto a Sony E-mount compact system camera. Like the previous Metabones Speed Booster model, the updated Ultra has a magnification of 0.71x so it effectively reduces the crop factor of mirrorless cameras with DX-sized sensors, such as Sony E-mount and Fuji X-mount cameras, from 1.5x to 1.07x. However, the new optical design in the Ultra uses advanced 5-element/4-group optical design incorporating ultra-high index tantalum-based optical glass to achieve extraordinary optical performance with improved corner sharpness, distortion and reduced vignetting.
Metabones Speed Booster Ultra Features (Nikon G to E mount):
- Industry's best aperture ring covers a 8-stop range markings, clearly indicating actual number of f-stops. No more guesswork! (Patent pending)
- Compatible with both Nikkor G lens & F lens (include non-AI & AI lens mounts)
- Advanced 5-element/4-group optical design incorporating ultra-high index tanatalum-based optical glass by Caldwell Photographic in the USA (patent pending)
- Long-throw clickless aperture ring on Nikon F/G version
- The tripod foot is detachable and compatible with Arca Swiss, Markins, Photo Clam ball heads
- Increase maximum aperture by 1 stop
- Increase MTF
- Makes lens 0.71x wider
Tips: Before mounting your lens to the adaptor, please make sure that the f-stop of aperture ring on the adaptor is turned to "7" (i.e. mounting your lens to the adaptor while only the aperture ring in the adaptor is full closed.).
Remark: This mount is manual aperture control. It does NOT support electronic aperture control.
Lens Compatibility: Any full-frame lens with the appropriate mount can be used. DX lenses can be mounted but will result in severe vignetting in most cases.
Sharper corners, less distortion, reduced vignetting
New optical design: advanced 5-element/4-group optical design incorporating ultra-high index tanatalum-based optical glass to achieve extraordinary optical performance with improved corner sharpness, distortion and reduced vignetting.
Metabones and Caldwell Photographic Inc. are pleased to jointly announce the Speed Booster ULTRA series of focal reducing adapters designed for mirrorless cameras with DX-sized sensors, such as Sony E-mount and Fuji X-mount. The new Speed Boosters use an advanced 5-element/4-group optical design incorporating ultra-high index tantalum-based optical glass to achieve extraordinary optical performance with improved corner sharpness, distortion and reduced vignetting.
Like the revolutionary original Metabones Speed Booster announced in January 2013, the Speed Booster ULTRA has a magnification of 0.71x, and so it effectively reduces the crop factor of mirrorless cameras with DX-sized sensors, such as Sony E-mount and Fuji X-mount cameras, from 1.5x to 1.07x. However, the new ULTRA design makes very effective use of exotic materials at the furthest limit of glassmaking technology, and as a result is well corrected for use with virtually all fullframe SLR lenses regardless of exit pupil distance. Thus, the Speed Booster ULTRA performs extremely well with professional-grade f/2.8 zoom lenses such as the 24-70mm f/2.8 and 70-200mm f/2.8 zooms by Canon and Nikon to produce 17-50mm f/2.0 and 50-142mm f/2.0 high-speed zooms, respectively. Similarly, high-speed fixed focal length lenses such as a 50mm f/1.2 will be transformed into a 35.5mm f/0.9 lens with excellent contrast and resolution from the center all the way to the edges of the image.
