Once again...another fantastic video from you! I have 3 of the Viltrox models, (1) ver.-1 and (2) ver.-2's. Using them on 2 BMPK4K's and a GH5S. You're right about getting parfocal for the entire range. I always thought it was the lenses and not the back focus adjustments. After testing, one ver. 2 was dead on from the start but I had to adjust the others. Now the Sigma 18-35, 50-100 and Canon 70-200 2.8 mk2 all stay in focus through the entire range. Keep up the good, thorough, exhaustive, comprehensive...etc work! LOL. BTW, Ver.-1 is not nearly as bad as people claim.

The main difference between Viltrox and Metabones is the flare and keeping contrast at full aperture even if the light source is not in the frame, direct to the camera. The difference in performances there (flare side) is huge. It's something you should include into the comparison because lots of people would regret buying the Viltrox when they discover that.

When backlighting a subject (for instance at sunset) washes out the image and essentially flares the entire image loosing some sharpness but mostly destroys the contrast.

Thanks for this super informative video. At the start, you mentioned that you are using the the bmpcc4k and a metabones .712 speedbooster to shoot the video. Can you tell us what lens you are using, and the distance (approx) you are from the camera at the start?

It’s probably a good idea to mention that by changing a focal reducers back focus adjustment to try and make a zoom more par focal means you’re likely tailoring it to a lens specifically and might screw up the back focus for other lenses... Example is if you mix primes and zooms or have multiple zooms.

best thumbnail yet

@Gerald Undone I would love to see an episode talking about and comparing Canon EF-S glass on the 0.71x speedboosters. I know everyone uses the Sigma 18-35mm, but for example, I've heard good things about the Canon 17-55mm which would get you to f/2 with lens stabilization. But my understanding is also that you also have to remove some stuff off of the back of the lens to make EF-S lenses work... Anyway, it seems like there's maybe enough there to do a short episode about!

I was surprised how well the autofocus worked on both adapters, I've barely even tried to video autofocus with either of my Metabones adapters (EF to E and EF to M43). One thing I would say is that the Metabones was able to track your face pretty well, but the background was pulsing the entire time.

Gotta say I love the funny face thumbnail lol

Excellent stuff. A little manual focusing can make up for the slight autofocus difference. Viltrox not looking too shabby.

One of the big things I feel was missing from this video is the optical characteristics of the three adapters. In my experience the EF-M2 was more prone to flaring and contrast reduction. So flagging the lens, if possible, was more important.

you solved my problem as deciding between the Viltrox Mark ll vs the high price Metabones. You let me know the Viltrox was very capable of giving me what I wanted as far as sharpeness ,quality

I've been using Viltrox EF-M2 mark 1 with Sigma 18-35 and 50 for a year now and do not understand the hate! The softness is kind of like a built-in "pro mist filter", haha.. Viltrox is a great product for a dirt cheap price. Sadly after purchasing Meike Cine lenses 16 and 25, the Sigmas seem so ancient... there is no competition when it comes to handling the lens, Meike wins hands down. Also love how compact the Meike is compared to 18-35 with a speedbooster. Oh, yeah, if you want a good adapter without speedboosting or image quality loss, go with the Viltrox EF-M1 (adapted), works great!

It's ironic how the only people that really care about ultra sharpness and clarity are reviewers. 99% of real world photographers and videographers use mist filters/diffusers, ND filters, post production softening techniques to emulate older technology that all affect the image to a great degree because that's what people actually gravitate towards and what is more appealing to the eye. One look at any social media site and the look that people want isn't necessarily the sharpest possible image. Unless it's sports or animal documentaries, sharpness is absolutely important but shouldn't be the top priority for most people looking for new gear; when, much like in this case it's literally splitting hairs.

12:11 Blackmagic Marker really threw me for a moment haha

"Telecentric" I'm impressed!

Great video - does the focus stay the same if you moving say on a gimbal ? right now you have it on sticks so it will focus through the focal length you choose because the distance isn't moving...!

One huge thing that I've run into is the flare when indoors backlit daylight through a window. I would say it is still somewhat sharp on my 18-35, but the biggest issue is loss of contrast and accurate color. It washes out the image considerably. Also at sunset when I'm filming couples portraits I get the same effect if the sun is in the frame. If you don't have a direct backlit light source the viltrox Ef-m2ii performs very well, but the second you backlight you lose enough quality where I would consider upgrading to metabones. Great comparison Gerald! I've always loved your videos! Edit - I've tested this with and without the Viltrox and the difference is very noticeable!

You mentioned that the difference between the boosters might show up more when the lens is a wider focal length and opened at a larger aperture, but when you compared the boosters you did not mention either the focal length or the aperture. I wonder if the lens was set at the most “demanding” setting of wide open aperture and widest focal length?

I did not notice the tightness on the viltrox speed booster mk2 when mounting on Samyang lenses. Perhaps it might be a brand issue, or since I recently bought the Viltrox, perhaps they have made a micro change for better fit.

The quality of your videos is insane its like zack snyder youtuber.

Hey Gerald, you spoke a lot about parfocal, but you never mentioned anything about infinity focus. I found myself having to constantly adjust the glass on my viltrox (and heard of ppl having to do the same with the original metabones) to get sharp focus from minimum to infinity when swapping lenses. Once you adjust the glass on the metabones designed specifically for the p4k, do you have to constantly adjust the glass to achieve sharp minimum/infinity focus when swapping lenses? Or once you set the glass you're focus is good for any lens you put on it?

Hi Gerald, are there any camera adapters that have image stabilization on them? I've looked for adapter companies and haven't found anyone creating them with IS. In a speed buster will be awesome I think! Thank you gerald!

I'm imagining the stack of Gerald's helper elves standing on each others' shoulders to match his height.

Thank you for this! Have you tried the viltrox EF-E II 0.71x for sony?

Tip: When back focusing a lens. Find the minimum focal distance and adjust to that. You won't have to "trial and error" to find perfect parafocal.

For those wondering…. Focus like once. I find on a far away object like a chain link fence though a focus card like his works better…. Then zoom out wide.. no tin focus? Rarely is.. and start adjusting rear rear optic…. (Back focus) is the term. Then zoom back in…. Looks good? Zoom back out…. Final adjustment.. then for laughs check mid distance. When I used broadcast cameras I would do it every week…. Temperature changes metal swelling in multiple pieces of different types and sizes of metal. That’s why broadcast has a thumb screw and a full sized ring (think of a 2nd aperture ring at the back of a broadcast lens). Backfocus becomes easy and quick.

The Viltrox EF-M2 is actually an x0.68 reducer. They market it as x0.71 since it's a more popular reduction ratio.

How about using crop lenses.

@Albanez39

@@aeroxtreme15 Okay, so...Lenses are always advertised in 35mm/FF focal length standard. That's why the classic zoom lens for FF is 24-70mm, while the Micro4/3 lens is 12-35mm. You always have to calculate the actual focal length yourself. If you used the 12-35mm lens on a FF camera, that would be the actual focal length, but on the Panasonic G9, the actual FL of that lens will be 24-70mm. So, if you compared a photo taken with a Canon FF camera on a 24mm focal length, with a photo taken with the G9 on a 12mm focal length, it would be the same... For every lens you'll have, be it a native Panasonic lens, or a Canon EF lens, or a vintage Russian lens, you'll have to multiply it's Focal Length by 2 to know the actual FL you're shooting on. This is for Panasonic Micro4/3 cameras; If you're using a Sony a6500 or a Canon 7D, you'll be dealing with an APS sensor, which is between 1.4 to 1.6 times (depending on brand) smaller than FF. Crop sensor lenses are built the same way as FF lenses, they just have lower diameter glass since they have a smaller sensor to cover. That's one reason why you can't adapt crop lenses on an FF camera, but you can adapt FF lenses on a crop camera. The other reason is Focal Flange Distance (FFD), which is often shorter on crop sensors and mirrorless cameras. This is the distance between the sensor/film and the rear element of the lens. Since Canon EF has a longer FFD than Micro4/3, you can adapt EF lenses on a Panasonic G9...but you can't do the opposite. FFD has nothing to do with sensor and lens dimension, it's just that newer mirrorless cameras have chosen to use a shorter FFD to allow you to use older lenses. e.g. You can't adapt Canon, M42, M39, OM lenses on a Nikon F camera, because Nikon F has one of the largest FFDs. But you can adapt all of the lenses I mentioned on a Panasonic G9. If you mount a smaller FFD lens on a bigger FFD camera, the rear element might end up touching the sensor and damaging it. This is something to be careful about! As long as the lens you want to adapt has a Larger/Longer FDD and was made for a Bigger sensor than your Panasonic G9, you can adapt it! Just make sure to find the right adapter, and that its quality is good enough. Most adapters will account for FFD and they'll have a specific length/depth to allow you to reach infinity focus...but some of the cheaper ones have an incorrect length/depth and you won't be able to focus to infinity. Good adapters (no element or electrical contacts) cost between $5 and $25. If they cost more, they have some additional feature (macro extension, electric contacts, shift capabilities, built in ND filters etc.) or are simply overpriced. Speedboosters are basically adapters which contain an element inside. This element takes the light rays coming through the lens, and concentrates them on the sensor. Since the lens is made for a bigger sensor, some of the light going through the lens would end up outside the sensor if a cheap adapter were to be used. With a speedbooster you gain more light and the focal length gets reduced a bit. I personally recommend the Viltrox. It's AS GOOD AS the overpriced Metabones speedboosters, while being more efficient (x0.68 instead of x0.71) and having a tighter fit. Metabones is often loose on the camera from what I read... As for the lenses, you'll save a great deal of money if you already own SLR lenses (Canon, Nikon, etc.)...you won't need to buy expensive Micro4/3 glass...but I suggest you get the Lumix 12-35mm f2.8 if you'll be using your camera for video. You'll get Dual Stabilization (body and lens) and you'll have a great little lens for the streets, while traveling and so on; Micro4/3 lenses are incredibly small compared to those massive FF lenses, perhaps that's why they cost a lot. Probably the best tip I'll be giving you today: Find and buy vintage lenses!!! The Soviet M42 and M39 lenses are incredibly unique, mainly because of their swirly bokeh and creamy look. Japanese and German lenses are incredibly sharp, and you'll be baffled to find out that you can buy a great Canon FD prime for $30, while a modern Panasonic prime will cost you hundreds or thousands of Dollars/Euros. Check antique shops, garage sales, open air bazaars and what not. If you live in the US or a big European country, you'll find lots of vintage lenses in such places, and they're usually sold by people that have no idea of their value. If you're like me and don't have a lot of access to such lenses, ebay might be a great solutions. They are a bit more expensive online, but they're worth it if you can afford them. My end goal in regards to lenses is to own as many different Helios, Industar, Mir, Vega (Soviet) lenses, while also owning a complete set of Canon FD or Carl Zeiss primes for shooting video. Plus the Lumix 12-35mm f2.8 for the stabilization, accurate colour rendition and other features that only modern (and native) lenses have.

But lower is better in this case anyway.

When I tested Metabones and Viltrox with my BMPCC 4k, it wasn't even a question of how superior Metabones was. It retained full sharpness wide open to max aperture and it remained scary sharp while the Viltrox struggled faster than f/2.5. I also noticed some flaring with the Viltrox due to the lower quality optics. The durability and electronic responsiveness when adjusting settings was also more reliable on the Metabones. There was a clear winner to me but still, the Viltrox is so affordable it's worth starting out there.

what do you use for audio? it sounds amazing

I know it's a bit of a picky question but when you did the sharpness test on between Viltrox and Metabones, did you refocus or just swap the lenses? Depth of field is different on the viltrox than the metabones so maybe the focusing distance is slightly off too? Just a thought.

Was the autofocus test done on the bmpcc4K? That looks like it's tracking the subject moving forward/back, which I didn't think the pocket could do?

So the electronics are not an issue to me, only the glass and the mount quality. And while I haven't done pixel peeping just yet, the images immediately look sharper and brighter. My Canon FD 50/1.4 was already tack sharp and now is a tack sharp 35 mm/1.0. My 28/2.8 FD was only okay before. But now seems to be a much more crisp 20 mm/2.0. And the mounting both camera and lens side seem to be pretty much spot-on. So over all great value and highly recommended.

TIPS FOR 1st GEN VILTROX: After some surgery I just managed to adjust my Viltrox EF-M2 (first gen) to get my Sigma DC 17-50 parfocal. The problem I encountered was that I couldn't turn the speedboster lens enough to arrive at the parfocal point. So I screwed off and removed the lens and saw some heat-glue protruding on the inside of the circular pcb-board wich I removed with a bent surgury knife. After that I could screw the lens about one turn more then before and that was enough to hit the spot of parfocalness! Hope this helps someone else as well!
