hi guys
i'm finally pretty happy with my present gear lineup and am really enjoying the resolution/low light/discreet shutter of the rx1 and the manual focusing fun and surprising results from my rd1, and also telephoto work done with my epl5/nikon 105/2.5 combo.
the one thing i'm missing is the ability to shoot my leica rf glass in low light--like over 1600. i really dont want another camera, so ive decided to try and make my present lineup work for me.
that brings me to wanting to buy a speedbooster to shoot my rf glass at their proper FL on my m4/3 epl5, which is a good high iso cam for my purposes. so, are there differences between brands? what is the best one for retaining the character of the lenses--thats my primary concern. btw, if anyone is selling one of these let me know!
thanks
tony

hi tony,
to my knowledge, there is no speed booster that would allow you to use leica RF lenses on m4/3 with the "original" field of view.
the FL reducers i know of only give you a factor of ca. 0.7, and their optical system requires space that isn't available in the narrow gap between leica M or LTM and m4/3 flange distances.
cheers,
