Metabones ARRI PL Lens to Micro Four Thirds T CINE Speed Booster® ULTRA 0.71x

Always Enhance and Never Degrade the Performance of the Attached Master Lens. Like the ULTRA series for Sony E-mount, the new Speed Booster​® ULTRA m43 uses an advanced 5-element 4-group optical design incorporating ultra-high index tantalum-based optical glass.  However, the new design is specifically optimized for the Micro Four Thirds sensor and filter stack, and as a result, achieves an astonishing level of performance that sets a new standard for focal reducers.

Like the revolutionary original Metabones Speed Booster® announced in January 2013, the Speed Booster® ULTRA m43 has a magnification of 0.71x, and so it effectively reduces the crop factor of mirrorless Micro Four Thirds mount cameras from 2.0x to 1.4x.  However, the new ULTRA design makes very effective use of exotic materials at the furthest limit of glassmaking technology, and as a result is almost perfectly corrected for use with all full-frame SLR lenses regardless of aperture.  The Speed Booster® ULTRA m43 will also work extremely well with many DX and APS-C format lenses provided the image circle of the lens is large enough.  Optical performance of the new Speed Boosters is so good that the MTF of any lens attached to it will be improved.  Even the latest generation of ultra-high performance SLR lenses such as the Zeiss Otus series can be improved by adding a Speed Booster® ULTRA m43.

Limitations

• Metabones PL T CINE Speed Booster® adapters are designed exclusively for the Zeiss CP.2, CZ.2, and CP.3 lenses.

Important Notes: Do not attempt to mount the lenses not under the Lens Comparability List to the adapter - physical damage may occur.

• Using the PL lens OTHER THAN the CP.2/ CP.3 lens, the lens's rear element CANNOT protrude from the flange more than 14.5mm. (note.1)

Note:

(1) The Metabones PL T CINE Speed Booster adapters are designed exclusively for the Zeiss CP.2, CZ.2, and CP.3 lenses. If using the PL lens other than the CP.2/ CP.3 lens listed in the compatibility list, the lens's rear element CANNOT protrude from the flange more than 14.5mm. Do not attempt to mount the lenses not under the Lens Comparability List / the protrusion of the lens which exceeds 14.5mm to the adapter - physical damage may occur.
