Metabones releases Canon EF to M4/3rds Speedbooster

Since the biggest consideration is changing camera systems is usually what happens to the thousands of dollars of lenses that you've invested in, I think this could be a game-changer for a lot of people. If Olympus or Panasonic (or anyone really) could get the autofocus implemented, you might not even need to tempt people with speed-boosting. Come over to µ4/3 and bring all of your Canon glass with you where it'll work exactly the same aside from FOV. The draw of cheaper bodies and IBIS with the Canon lenses could open a big door for µ4/3. Kind of exciting.

 

Nice news! Now we just need the Konica one!  

 

Consider this: The EF booster will handle most of the F mount lenses via adapters, inclusive of G lenses if you use the ones that are very fancy shims with a lever. Not to mention OM mount... Etc. As they say (Within the DSLR world) EF mount is the universal recipient.
For $200 more you get automatic IBIS setting as well, EXIF reporting.

And I hope that MicroUSB port is indicative of firmware updates for a "possibly in the future: AF support." But that's just a dream in my head for now.

 

As a mostly wildlife photographer I am really interested in this. Have been using FD lenses but they lack the wonderful new coatings and stuff. This now opens up the world of the 400mm to 800mm L glass. Actually I kind of want both of them, would be pretty useful on the 400mm f/5.6, like having two lenses.

 

Same here, I've been looking for such an adapter. The options out there are even more expensive.
