The Cheapest Lens “Speed booster” - Does it suck?

[@Ahead144]

Yay! Photo-Blunty is back.

[@LennyG2006]

Andrew Head I miss Blunty camera reviews :(

[@lesz344]

More please. Your Pentax Q and C-mount lens reviews back in the day were the best reviews I've ever seen. Almost Shakespearean. More.

[@16Mbvillain]

I totally agree! I downloaded all of Blunty's Pentax Q series posts from KZbin, and used them as photographic inspiration for almost a year! Also, as a result of Blunty's infectious enthusiasm, I bought the entire Pentax Q lens series plus a few additional items. I'd be interested to see if Blunty could do a review of the Metabones Pentax Q Speedbooster? That aside, I found this video very helpful in understanding the mechanics of a Speedbooster. Cheers!

I only subscribed to you years ago because of your epic camera reviews & videos. I miss these.

[@MitchDenham]

So happy to see a camera video again from you, Blunty! I've been very much missing this sort of content from you.

[@mjc0961]

So the more expensive ones are better... But are they really $900 worth of better? Because that seems like a damn steep price hike. I get that if you're a professional you want the best, but is $900 justified by manufacturing and engineering expense or is it just a "we know you have to buy this if you're in this specific position, so we're going to screw you over on the price" kind of thing?

[@bachelarius]

Some of these cheap speed boosters have adjustable rear-elements which can help sort out the infinity issue - worth a check!

[@MrSoapdodger]

hi blunty, its great to see you talk about photography again, even if it is a one off

[@Deathbynature89]

Woooot. I missed camera review Blunty.

[@grabmint]

This is a great day. Blunty is back. I am glad to see you doing the BEST camera/photo gear reviews.

[@megatryn]

Yay! More photo-Blunty 😍

[@xmlthegreat]

I have always wanted a manual aperture ring on modern lenses. This is one of the reasons. They can always have electronic aperture, but give me a ring to turn so that I can also manually control it.

[@delarageaz]

i'm using a Zhongyi speedbooster for Nikon lenses to Fuji X and i am very happy with it, it does focus to infinity too !

[@marshallr.8121]

Great video mate, super happy to see photography stuff back in here 💜

[@louiem32]

We want more Camera Blunty!!!!!!!

[@dutchvideoshooter]

The problem of no infinity is that the glas inside is not focussed but just dumped in. You can probably twist the glas inside. and with a tape measure and a 50mm prime with focus scales you can tune it.

[@prose4ever]

I have a focal reducer for my Pentax K lenses by Pixco. I bought it off eBay for about $115 (NZD) and it's not too bad. My only minor concern about the adaptor is that it has an unusual hassle when it comes to mounting to some Micro 4/3 cameras. I love using it with my Pen Mini (E-PM1), but when mounting to the Pen F. It refuses to connect, or even get stuck on the camera.

[@prose4ever]

I will also add in I have a small collection of dumb adaptors for Pentax K to Micro 4/3s, and thinking of picking up the fotodiox DLX stretch adaptor.

[@josephbryant8790]

I've missed your camera gear reviews so much!!

[@mikewhiles4635]

Welcome back, your voice has changed ,new mic system ? Great review 😎😎😎

[@weebo1612]

Blunty taught me to say Nee-kon and not Nigh-kon back in 2007. Never forget.

[@VariTimo]

What color profile do you use for video and photos. And would you consider to take a look at the GH5s in a video?

[@TheDanielHolt]

It seems like a great value, hopefully affordable speedboosters with electronics will start to show up in the near future

[@gregjarman2583]

A PHOTOGRAPHY VIDEO ON BLUNTYS CHANNEL?!?!?!?! M A D N E S S B O I S

[@mikelf53]

Miss you photography reviews, hope you find time to do more

[@seanregan3256]
