Review - Digital Medium Format on a Budget! - Kipon Baveyes MF Focal Reducer
Ғылым және технология
This Focal Reducer or as some say "Speedbooster" lets you shoot Medium Format lenses with a x0.7 crop on Sony and Leica Full Frame cameras.
And finally I have made this video.

i really love how you put real pictures instead of some random "test shots". They're really beautiful.

You summed up the joy of using vintage lenses on digital bodies so well.
I love the relationship you have with your dog!

Thank you for the quality of the content you share. The objectivity of your perspective is as crisp and relevant as the supporting imagery. Color grading and post work, b-roll footage, "perspective" images are all classy work. Bravo.
Oh it is such a relief to finally see someone expose and develop their photos to include so much range without it feeling washed out. Very nice.
Hello Mathias how are you? I think I've seen all of your videos, this in my opinion is your best. A lot of times we photographers like to talk about gear only but you have a way of expressing it as a means to achieve the art you're looking for. These photos of you spending time with your dog are beautiful as some of the commenters said. And to be able to do that without setting up lights and backdrops is what it's all about. I started using a rolleiflex a little over a month ago and I'm Amazed by the medium format look, I've been wondering if there was a way to use those lenses on regular cameras and now I know it's possible. I might watch this again, catch you later LOL
Love your video works. The music, the mood, the contents, they're just DOPE!
Great video! I liked your photographs, the use of music, and your relaxed narration.
I've never seen so many beautiful pictures in one place, and I'm a snobby jerk when it comes to other people's work. Positively inspiring.
Always so calming to watch your videos Mathias. Cheers and I hope you’re doing fine in these usual times.
This is one of my favorite youtube channels. And I love the dog! As always, very good tips!

Your narration was top of the line! Some of the other channels there are just telling details and details but you, you show us the true beauty of art with photos taken and make me wanna spend some money. Anyways, subbed
Absolutely love your channel. So relaxing and love to hear your opinions. Really love the film and digital separation you understand
The photographs in your videos are a visual treat. Especially coupled with the great music and your soft diction.
Thank you. I thoroughly enjoy your videos, and really appreciate what you do. Beautiful photos by the way.
omg the video with kipon is ridonculously awesome
Beautiful photos! And I love the texture from the video clips, nice work! I love the look of medium format lenses, there is no equal. (I've watched this several times, and will re-watch again I'm sure).
Thank you very much for your work, si a real Joy hear you talk about the experience of shooting and using the equipment. Your channel si my inspiration since a few years ago. Thank you for all.
I can't believe we can get all these beautiful looks and photos for so cheap! I just checked ebay and there's a ton of lenses available for next to nothing! And THANKS for mentioning buying the camera AND lens set and then selling the body - I never would have thought of that!! Great Video - Kudos!!
My favorite subscription! Nice work again.
Love this. Thanks man!
I watched this video which gives a soothing and joy of watching and using medium format lenses on digital body. Thanks for making life better with such a video review with finesse touch
Dude, I love your content and this video was especially enjoyable. Bravo sir. Bravo.

Thank you for this video, it was much more than i was searching.
Great video - perfect explanation. Cleared everything up for me. Much appreciated.
It's great fun watching your channel!
Beautiful. I am wondering what the benefit is in adapting medium format glass to 35mm? Thankyou.
You put the Rokkor in the test. God I love those lenses so so much!
Thanks for the info, very useful!! I have a series of old Pentacon Six lenses I´m dying to use through a Baveyes in my Sony A7sii, do you have any suggestion on the best adapter from P6 lenses to Mamiya 645 mount?
Love you're work. Very motivating!.
I use this brand for my M42 lenses on a Fuji FX camera. Very happy with the results. First I wanted to get the Zhongyi II, but went with this brand, and saved some money. I seriously see very little to no difference. Also used Viltrox adapter-speed booster, and also was very happy with it. I do not use 'dumb' adapters at all when using vintage lenses.
6:29 Dude! That's so cool, you taught your dog how to pose! :-)
After watching your videos I bought a Kipon m645 focal reducer and a Mamiya m645 80mm/f2.8 lens. It worked great, but eventually I returned the adapter, and being selling the lens; it's a total waste of money, efforts and time, honestly. Anyhow, I appreciate your contribution to the photographer/videographer community. It's a joy to watch your videos, get inspiration, ideas. This was really an experience to me, too. Now, I can say was there, I've tried it.

Wow that's epic, a full frame speed booster.
Thank you! This really helped a lot! 🙏💜
To have pashion in life is a wonderful thing.. Greeks call it MERAKI .. 1 word encapsulates so many meanings and emotions .. lots of people spend a lifetime trying to achieve this .. You are one of the lucky ones. ☺ love your amazing work.
Thank you for making an informative beautiful video!
I'm a Canon user and have been thinking about having a second camera of different system. Sony fits the bill and I'm blaming you for it :) and love your model :) Great work !
Very well done as usual!
Hi, amazing video, thank you, but I can’t find the article on your website. Could you please post a direct link?
Beautiful work. Wonderful dog too!
Wonder if the Kipon focal reducer is equally as good in the Fuji G mount version
awesome review and video, thanks!
Wow. Your photos are stunning!

I also own Mamiya m645 with a few lens and Sony A7RII. Your video just inspire me to adopt those lens to my A7R. However after checking the price and found it costs around $700, I don’t think I would get it soon. Anyway I really enjoy your video and your photos. Thank you
Another awesome video!
Hey great informative video. By the way if you own the speedbooster can you measure the diameter of the optical glass in it? ıt would be great for a project of mine.
Some of the best looking A7 video I've ever seen. It's a shame this adapter is so expensive.
eeey västerås ser jag. guess its true whatey say, the world is a small place! kikat på dina videor när jag behöver kunskap och info. otroligt hjälpsamma videor, keep up the good work
Great video! Do you know if this would work with the Mamiya Sekor lenses that mount to a Mamiya RB67? Are they the same mount as other Mamiyas?
Photos made different impressions on me, but the video clips were just brrrrreathtaking.
A great review! Thank you!
Hello there, Great video thank you... Quick question? do you know if there is a Bronica ETR to Canon Lens adapter with FOV Correction? Seems I can't find any on the market. Thanks.
Hi Matias. I will buy the adapter for sony camera. My question is if the adapter reaches infinity. regards!
Omg your dog is so well trained, also you have very good audio in your video!
Love your videos, in fact your original A7 video was the reason I switched to Sony!
When looking at lens I noticed these Meduim format lens but never got past the of thinking how it apply to a super 35mm cam. More research to be done. That you for the video.
Just shot Bronica 645 75mm f/2.8 on my Sony A7II just using basic adapter for my 100 vintage lens portrait project - no focal reducer - just magic.

Good video, is there an adapter to use medium format lens on Nikon? im using the D850 and would love to get a 40mm equivalent lens but with the extra stop be around f0.9 or f1 like the 50mm F1.7 in your video is? Also any links for both affordable lenses and Nikon adapters would be so helpful. Regards Chris
I have a Viltrox NIK to NEX focal reducer. Oh man, I really like it. It's sharp, gives my legacy lenses a wider view, and extra stop of light.

Do these focal reducers work the same?? Can I use it on my Sony alpha?
Is the larger sensor size offer unique perspective? Or can the same perspective be achieved on any size with the right focal length
Are there any medium format f1.2 lenses that you know of? I'm interested in maximizing light transmission for low light footage and thought medium format with a speed booster could be an option, or do you know any lenses for sony e mount that have really low t stops? Thanks!
Hello, I value your opinion. Which adapter you suggest to allow me to attach Jupiter 9 lens?
Is there a lens adapter for the koni omega lenses
I have a the following medium format lenses and am curious if you know of any adapters that would allow me to use them on my Sony A9 or Sony A73? ... Rollei Xenotar HFT 2 8/80, Pentax 645 75mm, Pentax SMC P 67 Lens ‑ 105mm ‑ F/2.4. Thanks!
Mattias, loving your production style and content. I'm curious to know when you choose to shoot your Sony cameras over your Fuji ones (for stills)? When do you reach for one or the other?

Hello. Is there any focus confirmation working with this adapter on Sony? I prefer to have a sound confirmation working with manual lenses. This is highly critical for me. Thank you.
What u recomend between kipon and viltrox af focal reducer?

Great video and love the dog! Will the kipon speedbooster reduce to MF focal length or FF focal length on my Sony a6500 APS-C. In other words, using the kipon speedbooster adapter, will it keep my 80mm Mamiya Sekor C at 80mm or reduce to 56mm?
@gearreallydoesntmatter

RAJESH TULI to about FF so you might as well buy a FF reducer. You could still adapt MF glass to it. If its for APS-C this adapter makes little sense.
as usual your videos are so freaking good. I wanted to tell you I do like the result of your experimentation, if i understand correctly you are adapting medium format lenses to a full format camera..... do you know what happens if you do the oposite? a 35 mm format lens on a medium format sensor camera? i just wonder if its worthy to own a medium format censor camera at all cause if you are stock to medium format lenses........ then that is quiet a compromise
This Adapter take the image of medium format Lens end put it on FF sensor??? Exactly like if to make a shot on film Camera of medium format ? Or it will be with crop ? The image?sorry about my English
You are using a Sony and some 645 lenses. What happens if you add this to a RB67 lens with a dumb adapter?
I really enjoy this video. thank you :D
From the UK. Can you get a focal reducer for less than 400$. ?? What are the options. Can I just get a adapter?
Thanks for your video, but I would like to know if you can adapt to large format cameras because I have several apocromatic optics too long and I would like to reduce its focal length and increase its luminosity. I do not care about the bayonet since I would buy one to adapt it to the camera

You will need to modify it. Make it and sell it :)
Is this adapter compatible with old Mamiya 80mm sekor 80mm 1.9, 45mm sekor 2.8, and 55mm sekor 2.8 lenses? These are old manual focus only lenses. I think I read somewhere this adapter isn't compatible with all Mamiya manual focus lenses. Thanks.
On a number of levels -- this is a really great video! I could write an essay on this. Bottom line -- really great message and video!

Hello, do you know any m42 medium format lenses?
Mattias, I’ve been watching your videos and noticed how you color grade your photos. How do you have that kind if appearance to your photos? Awesome!!
which lenses are giving the circular bokeh here?
Thanks Mathias.
Beautiful images!
I am looking at this adapter to use my phase one and mamiya 645 AF glass with my Sony A7RIV. I just wanted to confirm that you can electronically control the aperture? Does it electronically control aperture during video recording too? Or did you only test with manual 645 lenses? Thanks!
@gearreallydoesntmatter

No electronics at all, you need a lens with a manual aperture ring.
Hi Mattias! Very nice video. I have a couple of questions re Kipon reducer. 1. How does the mamiya 80mm f1.9 compare with mamiya 55mm f2.8 & 110mm f2.8 in terms of medium format rendering? I know theyre different focal lengths but do the 55mm & 110mm f2.8 also produce the same medium format background as the 80mm f1.9? 2. I have sony a9 and M240. Would it be better to just get the kipon focal reducer for leica so I can use it for both leica and sony plus adapter? Thank you!

Don't know about the 110mm but the 55 is nice. My favorite is the 150mm f3.5. There are lots of images from them in my review of the Canon version. Yes, Leica M definitely makes more sense.
