    good video. I switched to Sigma lenses. Far better than Canon across the board. I do use the speed booster. The focal length is what the lens provides but taking a 24-105 4.0 to a 2.8 with the speed booster is crazy. I have 1.8 ap lens 28mm, imagine the extra stop of light on that!

    I've been rocking the old school mk 1 24-105 with the speed booster for a variety of gimbal work jobs lately and it's been awesome on the c70... If I could find a mk 2 cheap I'd pick that up too for the quieter auto focus and better bokeh when wide open for interviews - but a 24-105 2.8 for under $600 with lens stabilization is pretty amazing!

    In fact instead of 1 you have 2 lenses with the .71 adaptor - EF 16-35 for fullframe look and 24-52 if you remove the adaptor. Flexibility:) And it's much cheaper - the price of EF+Adaptor is far less then RF glass:) that's why i got C70 and swithed back to canon form sony:))) great video by the way:)

    Yeah, the speed booster gives you a lot of flexibility for sure. You would still need the EF-RF basic adapter, but that's only $100. Sticking to EF lenses on the C70 makes a lot of sense in some cases.

    Hi man. First of all, I want to thank you for your videos, that's how I made the decision to buy the C70. I use a full frame camera and the combination of C70 and RF lenses confuses me. I am aware that I have to multiply the focal length by 1.6 and do I have to multiply the F stop by 1.6 also? For example f2.8 x 1.6 be approximately like 4.5?

    To me the EF glass is superior just because of the mount versatility alone. Can use those lenses on RED, Blackmagic, Canon, ZCAM, and even Sony. RF is just....Canon and Komodo/Raptor.
