Speed Boosters are CHEAPER than you think | DIY Speed Booster

Good day! I created a 2-dollar Speed Booster from a wide-angle lens for smartphones. Price may vary depending on the location. I filmed the process on how to assemble one and tested it on various lenses. Thanks for watching!

the M50 crowd will do anything to avoid using real gear and honestly, it's inspiring

[@zaks7]

Sir it's Eos M not M50. Love your tutorials btw!

[@EposVox]

Hahaha I stand corrected. Enjoyed the video! Thanks!

[@filmedbyMakarios]

Always finding cheaper alternatives. Thanks man, love your vids btw!

[@ianjames9970]

Brilliant, can't say more. the EOS-M fraternity amaze me everyday.

[@futura-]

what's wrong with eos-m users? i was planning on getting one...

[@MagieLamp]

so glad you included the before n after on multiple lenses.. the bokeh is lookin interesting on the 50

[@filmedbyMakarios]

Thanks! Glad you liked it.

[@josephawatson]

when you removed the lens element they make some rubber cups specifically for removing lens rings that dont have spanner holes. neat idea though.

[@tim_means_heart]

Amazing video, I can definitely see your channel growing! Looking forward to your next videos :)

[@filmedbyMakarios]

Thanks for the support bro! I have lined up my next videos so stay tuned!

[@KarlosianGD]

Wow, this is awesome! Definitely gonna try this out

[@filmedbyMakarios]

Thanks! Please do and let me know😀

[@SourceAwareness]

Great Work, my Brother, Thank You!! 😎💓

[@mateibradescu635]

Nice video. Nice idea! Loved it!

[@filmedbyMakarios]

Thank you very much!

[@kurencee]

Awesome video!

[@bartoszfilipek8698]

From Your footage it seems that it does not only boost speed, but is also stretching the image a bit, making it a semi-anamorphic. That's amazing!

[@DanielTseng100]

Next time, to remove those rings use a classic watchmaker trick to remove screw-on casebacks easily without damage: a rubber ball. They grip the whole surface and it won't damage the lens, you'll have it out in seconds

[@filmedbyMakarios]

Yeah, I would love to buy one. Thanks!

[@cinemascopebylashapanchulidze]

thank you Sir for this video and experience 😊 I'm glad that you tried it 😁👍👍👍

[@HeyItsAnjello]

I've seen the very same video you mentioned at the start before and wondered if anyone else have done it themselves So thanks for sharing this! I'm surprised that someone made a video on this and is also a Filipino haha keep up the good work!!

[@filmedbyMakarios]

Salamat kabayan!

[@CheikoSairin]

Very nice DIY Speed Boosters. Thanks for sharing the experiment. 1 LIKE for the video.😍👍

[@filmedbyMakarios]

Thank you! Cheers!

Galing!!!

[@PitNeex]

Smart idea and the look is very cool 😎

[@filmedbyMakarios]

Thanks! Appreciate it.

[@RazgrizFllaga]

I think the softness comes from lack of adjustability of the diy lens distance between the sensor and the lens. I remember my old viltrox speedbooster has the adjustability function by spinning the lens inside the speedbooster to adjust infinity focus for different lenses.

[@filmedbyMakarios]

Ohh I see, thanks for letting me know truly appreciated. I would like to compare the real speed booster and this one, maybe in the future when I have budget to buy one😁

[@respooledcofi]

Galing!!!!! Lodi

[@filmedbyMakarios]

Salamat!

[@Altcine]

I wonder where Lascha got the idea from 🤔😁

[@filmedbyMakarios]

I think there are ones that can be adapted to telescopes, but getting one from macro adapter for smartphones is a clever thing. He's a genius!

[@filmedbyMakarios]

Ps. I also saw your past video about DIY speedbooster and I'm definitely ispired by your creativity!

[@borisaucarre]

Viltrox , commlite, metabones do there speedbooster on x0,71! You use x0,45, why not more like x0,67??

[@cinemascopebylashapanchulidze]

I took a close look on how speedbooster worked by focusing light 😊 and I thought maybe I can use something to simulate that and I used some magnifying glass and it worked and if someone done it before me I dont know weather if someone tried to use magnifing glass from your local store as a speedbooster but it's that easy 😀 I know Im a brook cinematographer 😅

[@cinemascopebylashapanchulidze]

I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL 👍👍👍👍😊

[@tonykeltsflorida]

The Viltrox ef to ef-m speedbooster is cheap and autofocus works. Cool video.

[@fhfddjvheufid6213]

It's not cheap, US is not the whole world. Used / private import from China 145$ New in local shop 180$ But what next ? YONGNUO 35,50 mm and other manual EF ? Where EFM prices end, EF begin. I accidentally bought a speedbooster at a big discount. I had no pressure on EF lenses, after about half a year I grabbed YONGNUO 35 and 50 in another good promotion. At regular prices, I never took it seriously.

[@tonykeltsflorida]

@@fhfddjvheufid6213 Yongnuo lenses are not good on Canon M6 mark II.

[@xanfus]

I might try this on a Nikon J1!

[@mzartFilms]

Nice one

[@filmedbyMakarios]

Thank you bro!

[@HereIsKhansu]

Nice content!, I always wanted a speedbooster but kinda not worth it cause I'm aiming to bought some vintage lens first

[@filmedbyMakarios]

This will be a great alternative while we save up for a dedicated speedbooster, prioritizing lenses first is the perfect thing to do! 👌

[@RivieraUnivox]

I like your ingenuity and resourcefulness, trying to achieve your goal for as little money as possible. I have the same approach when adapting lenses where a proper mount is not available. How do you calculate the actual new focal length and f-stop?

[@filmedbyMakarios]

Thanks! I just love to make cheaper alternatives for expensive ones! For focal length, multiply the focal distance of the lens (ex. 50mm) to the multiplier of the speed booster (for viltrox, 0.71x). Then multiply it by your camera's crop factor (1.6x for apsc) then thats it. Then for the focal length from what i saw from other video, you will just multiply the f stop to the multiplier of the speed booster(correct me if I'm wrong). This speedbooster that I've made has a multiplier of 0.45x as said on the description of the product.

[@illegalmindset4122]

Meike makes a rf to ef one and it's awesome

[@filmedbyMakarios]

I don't have one, but my current ef to eosm adapter is meike and its quality is superb! I even dropped it accidentally with my nifty-fifty and they both survived lol.

[@MuhammadMundir]

wow,..smart

[@amoscaul3264]

Been trying to do this for months but Can't figure out the right magnification--thank you. The only work around with the blurry background is stopping it down.

[@filmedbyMakarios]

Yeah I think if I make it less closer from the sensor it will reduce the swirly bokeh. Thanks!

[@amoscaul3264]

@filmedbyJML Yeah, but from my experimentation that causes it to focus closer than further which feels limiting.

[@manoorestagon]

Nice! I love when people make budget DIY alternatives 😍How is the Infinity Focus, does is still work?

[@filmedbyMakarios]

Yes, the infinity focus is still okay, so far I tested it mostly on my rokinon 50mm t1.5 which is a full frame lens and it worked well. I will post a video on that so stay tuned!

[@manoorestagon]

@@filmedbyMakariosThat's great to hear, thanks!

[@pouranan]

When I first saw the thumbnail I thought that u used the lens in VR headsets. These costs the same too if not cheaper. I suggest u try with VR lenses as well you won't have the hassle of having to untwist the lens from the case

[@filmedbyMakarios]

Wow that I great idea! I will try it soon! Thanks

[@Burbsi]

are these images cropped or were you able to use the full sensor size? You mentioned 3:2 that implies no in body cropping. I'm just asking because your image edges look totally acceptable for a convex single lens hack

[@filmedbyMakarios]

For some lenses like my 18-55 kitlens, it has vignette on it on 18mm. But if you adjust the crop just a little bit (for crop mood in magic lantern), it will eliminate the vignetting. The settings that I've used on the video is the full sensor readout of the 1.6x crop of APSC.

[@WeebJail]

"here's how to use a speedbooster for a wider fov" "try crop mode to avoid the weird lens artifacts" lol

Hi, can you tell me the diameter of the macro lens that you took out?

[@filmedbyMakarios]

it is 1 inch in diameter :)

[@SamiG_art]

What camera are you using the speedbooster on

[@shreyasaaron5438]

Canon EOS M

[@drrrw]

Congratulations you just traded sharpness and light stop for a small extra FOV. nice idea.

[@filmedbyMakarios]

Yes thank you! Actually it gives extra f stop as it brings more light😁

[@oweng3893]

this wont work as standard speedbooster while it might concentrate the image circle , you lose the ability to focus at infinity

[@WestVirginiaWildlife]

6:48 tots lol

[@tarike5613]

wouldn't it screw up the shutter curtain this way?

[@filmedbyMakarios]

Thanks for asking! No, it doesn't affect the shutter curtain since its deep inside with the sensor

[@crazygeorgelincoln]

Love the vhs! Here my full frame diy boosters . kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJS5naOcmqaifMksi=CP1At9YPXPjli7wV. I forgot about the second one , must be hiding on one of my lenses!

[@filmedbyMakarios]

Thanks! I'll watch that one. So glad you appreciate it!

[@youranonymous931]

Can't you just add a wide angle lens at the front of the lens for the same effect as a speed booster?

[@peterhansuwurst7852]

To get a wider field of view you can of course use a lens with a wider angle. A speed booster has the added benefit, that, if you use a lens made to cover a bigger sensor (e.g. a ef lens on an ef-m or rf mount camera with aps-c sensor) a speedbooster will focus the light onto the sensor, that would otherwise just hit the inside of the camera. So you get more light onto the sensor (usually around one stop), have a wider field of view and it also changes the bokeh since a lens + speedbooster is basically a new lens with a bigger aperture.

[@goinggiddy]

will it work with efm kit lens?

[@filmedbyMakarios]

Yes, I've tried it but it has heavy vignetting on native 1.6x crop (default apsc sensor). If you use magic lantern, I suggest that you use higher crop settings like 2.5k or UHD so it will zoom a little bit. This is perfect for kit lenses btw😊

[@goinggiddy]

@@filmedbyMakarios my canon m50 crops in at 4K. that's why im considering this.

[@filmedbyMakarios]

@@goinggiddy I think that would be perfect! Try it and please let me know😁

english ako ng English, pinoy ka rin pala hahaha napanood ko rin yung cheapest monitor mo. loko kasi tropa ko may EOS cam din, binubudol ako dahil ng magic lantern. problema lang namin is limited ang efm lens eh mahal ng speedbooster (sorry di ako familiar sa canon gaano, galing ako sony system)

Thank you sir pinanood mo den, sali ka sa community ng EOSM sa fb marami ka matututunan, consider mo din ang magic lantern sobrang laking difference ng RAW sa compressed video.
