Comparing the Viltrox EF-M1 adapter versus the Viltrox EF-M2 speedbooster for use on GH5 MFT M43 cameras and a Sigma 18-35mm lens. People think you have to get a speedbooster of some sort to use this setup.
TLDR Filmmaker began thinking differently about that lens/adapter combo and now has decided to replace the speedbooster with a non-boosted adapter with the Sigma 18-35mm. He does some basic tests to show why he feels he no longer needs a Viltrox EF-M2 speedbooster but just a regular Viltrox EF-M1 smart adapter in it’s place.
