PSA: Don't buy the same speedbooster knockoff that I did

[harpofreely]

So, I know you get what you pay for, but I couldn't quite bring myself to pay full freight for the MetaBones SpeedBooster for using my Canon FD lenses on my XE-1.

Unfortunately, my $91.69 "Adplo" brand knock-off arrived today with an idea of "infinity" maxing out at about 15 feet away. So, though I've seen positive reviews of some of the knock offs (such as the Lens Turbo II) - this ain't one of them.

Good luck!

The real thing is more expensive but it really works. It's great to use my Nikkor 20mm f/4 and favorite wides with an APS-C mirrorless camera. Image quality is excellent.

I wasted my money on the Catcan brand before buying the Metabones. It was unsharp at any focal length. I've actually owned two of the Metabones Speedboosters and sold them. Now I'm looking for a third.
