Great review. I bought one of these and sold it last year. Just bought another copy recently. I love the way it flares too. I'm thinking of picking up an FD speedbooster though - I shoot Fuji too

Hi my friend. I’m wondering which lens turbo II would be better for the Fuji X mount, the canon EF (more expensive) or the cheaper canon FD. Actually I have only one vintage m42 lens but I would like something flexible for future vintage equipment, you know. Could you give me an advice? Thank you 🙏 Best, Giuliano

[@FlatLanderOptical]

You pose an interesting question, I assume that you wish to use the focal reducer with another adapter to use your M42 mount lens? very smart! I wish I had thought of that before haha XD They should be relatively similar ( Accept for the mount of course ), however in terms of the optical design I cant find any information on if they use a different set of elements for the Canon EF version. id say your safe to buy either one but id just check which one has more compatibility with other adapters you may wish to purchase in the future. I hope this is what you meant otherwise let me know.

@@FlatLanderOpticalyes friend your are completely right. That is exactly what I mean. Hope you can find more details about. Thank you so much!😊
