I’m still waiting for my adapter however it seems canon is showing you the equivalent f stop, rather than the actual opening of the lens. So while it was reading 2.8 for both tests, the lens was actually stopped down further on the C70 in order to give the amount of light and DOF you would be expecting without the speed booster.
Theoretically the DOF and focal length should be much much closer if you simply had the same lens at their most wide open, and then count stops down from there.
Exactly what I was going to write haha awesome video, Griffin!
Thanks Jesse! My brain was breaking trying to figure out how the speedbooster could *increase* DOF with an equivalent f stop, focal length and distance from subject, but this explanation makes so much sense. I don't think showing equivalent f-stop is good practice...seems pretty confusing.
Exactly.
What Jesse said!
Exactly. For a real 1-to-1 here, you have to have the C70 at 1 stop lower at all times. That's what the speedbooster does to begin with.
This is great Griffin! So I think what is happening with the speedbooster is effecting how the aperture values appear. One thing to note is the an F 0.9 setting on the C70 with the speedbooster is equivalent to the F 1.2 on the C500 Mark II. The numbers change because Canon (and Sony for that matter) felt that speedboosters should provide the equivalent aperture settings or put another way, show you that the speed boosters are converting the lens in use to a +1 stop version. So with the speedbooster combined with the 50mm F1.2 used on the C70 you get approximately a 50mm F0.85 Aperture lens (rounded to 0.9) on a crop sensor. I wish they would just adjust the aperture to read out the lenses in their full frame equivalent so you can match to other full frame cameras, but instead the apply the math accurately and read out the new calculated aperture factoring in the size of the sensor in use. So when you set the aperture to 0.9 on the 50mm on the C70 with the speedbooster you are setting the f1.2 50mm lens to the same wide open setting as you are when the 50mm is on the C500.
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching. I agree it was a little confusing but after this test it seems pretty straight forward to me now
I think the C70 with speedbooster gives you a reading of the aperture based on the compensation for the extra stop of light. Meaning F2.0 is not really F2 but it´s F2.8. You should do the same test with manual aperture to confirm this
I think you are correct
I have a BMPCC4K with metabones speedbooster and it does this. The camera does the conversion to say what equivalent f-stop would be. I think this would explain the difference in depth of field you were seeing.
@@benbigelow4651 Yes me too.
@@Pierluca72 yes in terms of light but not in terms of depth of field
@@shzammpatapon9865 at same aperture (not what the camera says but same position of the actual iris blade) the dof is identical, only the native is cropped compared to the one with focal reducer. Now if you want to move the camera with focal reducer closer to the subject and reframe so that you get a similar field of view to the native, then it's not comparable anymore and obviously you get shallower dof by moving the camera closer
Definitely would love to see a KOMODO+speed booster test, as that's a combo I'm really eager to get :D
Nice! Ill try to get that done in the next few weeks!

DEF INTIERESTED IN SEEIN GIT ON THE KOMDO!
Im interested in testing this soon. Seems a lot of people are interested. Thanks for watching.
Love this channel - as a small team (2) and using Canon and Leica your advice and reviews are impeccable. Will be buying a C70 mainly because of you reviews. Many thanks.
Hey Griffin, really like your presentation style. DIrect, honest, and down to earth. Thanks for keeping it real and relaxed.
You should move your C70 closer to the subject when using a speedbooster in order to get a similar frame composition, which will make the C70 and C500 ii have a similar DOF.
Hey Griffin, great video. Depth of field is kind of fascinating isn’t it? The reason your lens matches at f/2 on the C70 and f/2.8 on the C500 II is because that is when your lens is stopped down to the same physical aperture size.
The speed booster is simply compressing the image circle projected by the lens on to the sensor. At f/2.8 on the C500, the lens is stopped down to f/2.8 internally. If you took this same lens configuration and put it on the speed booster it would become f/2 due to the reduction in focal length. But the image is still the same. This means if you have a 50mm f/2.8 it becomes a 35mm f/2 (both of these keep the same 17.7mm physical aperture) but you end up with the same framing between the two cameras because of the smaller sensor on the C70.
When you stop down to the same aperture of f/2.8 on both cameras you end up with a 50mm f/2.8 setting with a 17.7mm aperture on the C500, and a 35mm f/2.8 setting with a 12.5mm aperture on the C70 with speed booster. Smaller physical apertures = higher depth of field.
So what you observed is absolutely correct! You have to open the aperture one additional stop to match depth of field (and light collection) with the speed booster. If you stop them down to the same aperture you’re eliminating the advantage of the speed booster. You should always use 1 stop wider aperture and 1 stop lower ISO setting when possible to achieve full frame equivalent noise and depth of field.
Ya it is interesting for sure! It was fun to test this for myself and see it in the real world. Thanks for watching!
I’ve had the camera and booster for nearly 18 months and I still enjoyed this video. Thanks.
Thank you!
Do you have problem with famous "purple circle"? I can not find the enough information about it, as no one realy tested it with vatiety of focal lenght, matte box etc?
Really great stuff. I’ve been a Canon shooter for years and this is one of the most useful series I’ve found. I can tell you’re out there working and living with the gear. Thank you!
Thanks for that video. Just received my C70 so any info on how other people are getting on with it is very welcome. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for telling the world that the AF does in fact work with lenses other than the three canon originally mentioned. This pretty much solidified my purchase.
Awesome video dude!!! That booster+c70 combo looks awesome.
Totally! Pretty stoked on it! Thanks for watching Ty!
Thank you for the video, my Speed Booster will be here tomorrow and I was happy to see your test. Now I feel confident that I did the right thing and will start using it in my work.
Speed booster is a focal reducer. Wider focal length means deeper DOF. And of course the c500 has a shallower DOF it’s a full frame sensor and the c70 is super35. Just because you use a focal reducer doesn’t change your sensor size.
Great video! Thanks for all of your content. I just got the C70 and you’re helping me out a lot. Keep it going!
Been waiting for this review!!!
Thanks for watching Justin!
Thanks for the comparison. Just got mine in the mail yesterday and need to start testing it.
Awesome stoked to watch your content on it
Great Job Griffin
I was really waiting for this test
I think your reviews are among the best
Awesome breakdown! Glad I found your channel a few weeks ago. Debating on investing in the c70 now that I’m doing more video shoots and becoming a big part of my business. currently on a 5d4 since I was primarily a photographer
Really appreciate all the C70 insights. Looking hard at this camera.
Great work. when you have time can you do a dynamic range comparison between the C500ii and C70, Highlights and shadows.
If there is enough interest I will do a full comparison like my other comparisons on my channel. I usually do polls on my community tab to get a feel for what would be interesting to most people. Thanks for watching!
woah what a quality! I am glad RUclips recommended me this video.
great stuff Griffin.
Yessir! Great stuff. Yea with the field of view increasing, It's so interesting that it does increase DOF. Definitely looks like an amazing B cam to the c500II.
Totally agree! Such a good B cam at a great price point. Thanks for watching Keith!
Regarding the depth of field thing, rather than provide a technical explanation, please try this with a manual aperture lens and it will make a lot more sense. The f-stop the camera is reading is relative, not actual.
I try to stay away from the technical explanations and just do a more real world explanation, and what you can do to make it look practically the same as full frame.
@@GriffinConway If you use a manual aperture lens and set both to the same F or T stop, they should have the identical depth of field. The speedboosted one will be one stop brighter, though.
@@justoutofframe5146 yep I am aware of that. In the video I was using a canon 50 1.2L and it "converts" the f stop in camera for you so it might come off as confusing for some
@@GriffinConway Oh ok, I was just saying the same thing.
@@GriffinConway To be exact it converts light gathered rather than F-stops to be exact. it's not good to convert them since it's trying to do so from s35 pov.
You're comparing the same f-stop at two different sensor sizes so the DOF will always be different. The whole point of the speedbooster is that it makes any F-stop on the lens one stop faster. If you want to treat the camera+speedbooster as FF with an FF lens then you have to add 1 stop to the lens aperture readout. When you compare c70+sb f1.4 to c500ii f1.4, you're comparing the lens stopped down 1 stop on the c70 compared to the c500ii. Imagine that the lens image circle and projected image is constant and independent of the sensor, if you compare the lens stopped down 1 stop vs wide open, even if there is no camera connected, that image the lens projects will have 1 stop deeper depth of field.
@@richrollin4867 Exactly. Though even at the same physical aperture opening eg wide open, theoretically the speedbooster should give you a bit more shallow depth of field because you are squeezing a FF onto a crop.
almost watched all your videos about the c70 very good content love how you explain stuff
Great video bro. Always informative. I'm still waiting for C70 vs 1dx mark iii.
I'm working on it! Thanks for watching!
Definitely curious to know how the speedbooster works on the Komodo. Currently deciding between getting the Komodo or keeping my C70.
interested for sure!
Great! I will try to make it happen
Honestly man, I would keep the c70. What benefits are you hoping to get from a komodo? If you are not happy with the image of the c70 the komodo will not be much better
@@jordantimothy97 2 month old post but yeah, I ended up cancelling the Komodo preorder. Too many quirks I can't ignore - like the long boot-up time and the protruding batteries.
@@JervyHou I’m torn between moving over to Sony or getting the C70 (coming from BlackMagic so current lens kit isn’t a deciding factor)
The reason I’m debating is because I’ve never been in love with Sony’s color science. Thoughts?
I actually canceled my FX3 order because I’m still undecided.
I'd love an in-depth dynamic range comparison between the c500, c70 + speedbooster, c70 no speedbooster, and Komodo 🤟🏽🎥
I will try to get some of those tests done!
Griffin Thanks a lot for doing is kind of tests I love this one.
Thanks for watching Pablo!
The depth of field difference is because you stopped down the aperture instead of shooting both wide open. The reading on the screen is just the adjusted f stop because of the extra stop of light. So, the c70 will have the same depth of field as the c500ii, but one stop brighter.
Yep. I came to this same conclusion in the video
Thank you so much! Very informative!
Hey bro great to see you again. Hope you had a great Christmas and just wanted to wish you a very Happy New year and may 2021 bring you much success, joy and happiness. Stay safe and catch up again real soon.
Thanks for this video Griffin!
You have to apply the crop factor to the aperture too. 1:1 even at the same aperture settings, with a focal reducer in between it will be a different DOF.
Great video, very helpful :)
I am looking forward to when i can get the speedbooster for my c70.. can’t wait. :) Love the video!
Love your videos Griffin!
Nice stuff, Griffin! Yet another useful review with personal thoughts about an exciting product. The potential of the 50mm 1.2 get's me excited.
Thanks for the support as always Christopher! Really appreciate it! An yes that 50 at .9 on the c70 is crazy!!!!
How sharp and detailed is the 1080P video from the 1DX III???
I know that the 1080P from the mark II is rather soft...and I don’t like it.
Can you do a video talking about the video sharpness/detail from the 1DX III against the 4K video from the Mark II?
Thank you very much!!
I think the 1080p is pretty good out of the 1dx iii.
Nice job, Griff. I appreciate the analysis. I just received my C70 a couple of days ago and waiting to receive the speed booster. I have another adapter and have used the sigma 24mm lens on it and it autofocus seems to work the same as on my R5 and 1DX MK III.
Great work! I'd personally love to see the Komodo tests, too.
Great! Ill keep that in mind. Thanks!
Yes, Komodo test, please. Great video-straightforward, short and clear. Keep them coming.
Note to Self: Use a lint roller on your hat before filming 😂 also, 2:45 should say f/2.8, iso 6400 on both cameras (sorry about that!)
Awesome test thanks for sharing
why don’t you say anything about the blue spot on this nozzle in backlight?
Thank you so much for this test. 🙏
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Thanks for watching Borja!
Man I brought C200 watching you. I brought C70 watching you. I brought Mount Adapter watching you and now I sold C200...:-). You do great videos.
Haha that’s awesome! How are they working for you so far?
@@GriffinConway I sold the C200. I upgraded to the C70. The C70 form factor is much easier to travel with and with the exposure tool like false color it makes nailing exposure a breeze. No more need to RAW. I can travel with C70 and DJI Ronin SC 2 and a few lens all in a backpack. Love it man. Keep the videos coming.
Wait I'm confused here ..on my ef 16-35 f4 the c70 with speedbooster says 11-24 in camera ? Why ? Is it really a 11-24 with canon speed booster on c70
So you are getting a stop of light but then u have to also drop the f stop down one to the lowest stop to get the same DOF as real full frame? Can the c70 NDs handle all that light in the daytime?
Good video Griffin. One thing that I didn’t understand well is: do you get a shallower depth of fiend with the speed booster or the opposite?
Great info! Thanks for the hard work!
Thanks for wathing! Glad you found it useful
So in your opinion which do you think is a better combination and why:
C70 with RF glass or C70 with EF glass and the speed-booster? Thanks
In my opinion...c70 with EF glass is better because you have more control over depth of field, and you can use cheaper glass that is more readily available at this point in time.
@@GriffinConway thanks
The speedbooster adds 1 stop of light and the camera compensates te number of the f stop for it so when it says 2.0 the it is actually 2.8 only one stop brighter. So that is why the depth of field matches when you open up 1 more f stop. But to really compare you have to set the fstop 1 step brighter since it’s actually the same. The extra stop of light is one off the benefits of a speedbooster.
Well done. That's some good info, thanks.
Hi Griffin,
When I have installed the canon speedbooster on the c70, I still get F-stop 2.8 displayed with my Canon EF 24-70 2.8 Mark 2. Any idea?
Has anyone had their C70 built in mic stop working? This happened to me a few days ago and the problem isn't anything obvious. I have it in normal recording with the built in mic set to on and the volume turned all the way up. I get nothing on the volume reader and when I bring the clips into post it's nothing but white noise. I'm not sure maybe this is a common issue with the camera? I tried resetting all my setting and it still doesn't work. The Line and Mic outputs still work fine.
Hey Griffin, thanks for the video. Would love to see a test with the Komodo!
Is the C70 an ideal choice for evening photography/video just after sun sets? We take a lot of pictures of our outdoor landscape lighting jobs and are looking for a full frame w wide lens to be able to capture the entire width of a typical house without being too far away- thx!
If you need both stills and video, I might consider the R5. The C70 stills are nowhere near the image quality as the R5. However, if you just need great video, I prefer the C70.
@@GriffinConway will check these out! What lens for C70 would be ideal for videos- mostly interview distance-inside and outside?
If you plan on using the speedbooster, the sigma 24-70 2.8 is a great option
how does the booster actually give you more light? I mean the amount of light hitting the lens is the same. How can the amount o the light hitting the sensor be different? Is the booster simply just a magnifying glass?
Will the Canon C70 + Tamron SP 24-70mm f/2.8 Di VC USD G2 (Canon) work 100% with the Canon EF-RF 0.71x Mount Adapter?
The depth of field of the C70 is bigger (less blurry) because the sensor is smaller.
The more the sensor is small, the bigger the depth of field will be
Example : using a gopro, EVERYTHING is in focus not only because of the wide lens, but mostly because the sensor is soo tiny
It's a little bit more complex than that. If you look at when I compare it to the c70 with the ef-eos r adapter the background is actually blurrier
Griffin Conway match the subject size in frame (back up when using the R adapter) and it won’t be. That’s why DOF gets shallower with a bigger sensor, you need to get closer to the subject to get the same magnification. If you have a 50mm on FF and a 50mm on m43 and you don’t move the camera or the subject the DOF will be the same. The same way that if you crop in photoshop your DOF isn’t changed. The framing will be crazy different and if you try to match the framing/subject size, that is when the DOF will change.
Need that Komodo test ASAP! You’re content is straight forward and great!!
Hi. Did you test the sharpness on fast lenses wide open with and without the Canon focal reducer? I have another brand on another camera, but the image is so soft at f1.8 that it is unusable, I even notice it at f2.4. Without my focal reducer my lens is super sharp and great even wide open f1.2. Considering the Canon if the image is good at f1.8 and more wide open.
Weird how the speed booster is affecting the DoF. It's the same lens at the same focal length.. Is it just how the the C70 is registering it? Since it opens to 0.9? I'm confused.
do you think that speedbooster works on all RF mounts (ie the canon eos R)...i know its already full frame, but when you record 4k there is a slight crop....maybe with the booster....
Thank you for the video, it's really helpful. Please what SD card do you use for the C70?
Good job man
Hey, what ND solution do you use with the Red Komodo if you have the canon Mount Adaptor attached? Thanks!
Solid comparison! While it can easily be adjusted of course, I think I like the native magenta shift on the C70 vs. the green on the C500 Mk II.
I think they both look good and unless you are a really looking for it, it would be hard to notice. Especially if it was a typical A cam / B cam setup where one is at an angle. Anyways, thanks for watching and checking the video out!
Your videos are very informative. Thanks!
Glad you like them!
What would happen if you put the speed booster at a full frame canon dslm like a canon r5 or r3?
Hey! Great video! I got a question. I heard that when using the the autofocus with the speedbooster, the C70 can only autofocus on a smaller part of the field of view. Is that correct? is it the part inside the black frame on your screen? Thanks a lot!
I would be very interested in a sharpness/optical degradation comparison between full frame and speedboosted c70. Normally with speedboosters (especially cheaper ones) your loose some image quality (most noticable wide open on the edges). I would be interested how good canon's adapter-optics are made.
Great video. Thank you for sharing. I think the issue with the depth of field appears to be because the lens was wide open on the c500 and stopped down on the c70 to compensate for the added light from compressing the image on the speed booster so even though the image was close to the same exposure, the smaller aperture of the c70 was giving you a wider depth of field. Since the sensors are not the same size there is no perfect “apples to apples” comparison but if you want to compare bokeh you would want to make sure both lenses are wide open and adjust exposure through ISO or ND.
Yep, that is basically the same conclusion I came to in the video as well. Thanks for watching!
yes PLEASE do a video on the komodo + speed booster :)
Hello, Griffin, I have a frustrating problem right now. I’m trying to connect my Atmos Shinobi to my C300 III vis hdmi, but there’s not signal, iv tried couple cables it’s all not working, is there some setting I did wrong?
Try switching hdmi max resolution to 1920x1080, also try switching the hdmi signal to level b or if it’s already on that one switch it to whatever the other option is. Also double check on the shinobi that the input is set to hdmi
The C500mk2 just looks real nice out the box... good vid
Thanks for watching!
3:58 don't quote me but the reason for that difference in background blur is because of the sensor size. 50mm(lens) x 0.71 (speedbooster) x 1.6 (sensor crop) = 56.8mm lens
F2 x 0.71 x 1.6 = f 2.272 full frame equivalent
hey, cool video
about your exposure differences, this is because you used camera to control aperture and the speedbooster compensate the "boosted" aperture. so it's not reflecting the real aperture of the lens
if you use a manual lens, stuck on f2.8, you should have a close result with speedboosted c70 and C500, then see more blury DOF with booster than without
cheers
It would be amazing if you do a video testing the Canon 0.71x speedboster on the Red Komodo. Specially showing how the autofocus works with canon L series glass + Canon Speedbooster.
Thanks for the content Griffin! Cheers from Barcelona
Thanks for watching! I love Barcelona, I visited there about 10 years ago. I will try to do the komodo test in the future!
Sorry man I’m sure someone else has commented this but you might want to do a little more research or ask someone who knows about speed boosters before making a whole video about it... the speed booster increases the amount of light the lens produces by one stop, the C70 is just converting this for you in the metadata so when your lens is opened to f2.8 it is giving you f2.0 amount of light. So to correctly match a full frame camera with a f2.8 lens like say a 24-70 f2.8 wide open you will need to set the c70 to f2 and the C500ii to f2.8. They’re both actually at the same aperture there but the c70 is compensating to let you know you’re getting an extra stop of light. Then they will match in depth of field. It’s because the speed booster doesn’t turn the c70 into a full frame. It just makes the lens attached faster. This is the case with all speed boosters. It has the effect of giving you a full frame look. If you want to match field of view and look on a super 35 camera with a full frame and you don’t have a speed booster, all you have to do is put a wider faster lens on the s35 camera. Say 50mm @2.8 on full frame and 35mm at 1.4 or f2 on the s35 and they will look nearly identical other than differences in characteristics from lens to lens. But the bokeh should be same
Not sure what the issue is with doing my own testing and sharing my results. I find doing your own testing is the best way to learn. 👍
@@GriffinConway sorry if I came off rude, there’s nothing wrong with doing your own testing, but when you make a video / review of a product it’s important to get your information correct as to not confuse your audience.
@@jonathanmasters2178 thanks for the reply. I'm not clear and what in particular you are saying I was wrong about. In the video I said basically the same thing you are saying here...if you want your field of view and depth of field to look the same on the c70 when compared to a full frame camera, drop the iso one stop and open the lens up one stop. That seems like you are saying to do the exact same thing.
Was super excited to get my 0.71x canon booster. Arrived today and will be going back to RF lenses. I used the 24-105 Ef ii and the autofocus motor was being picked up by the rode mic I had on top.
Any point in keeping the speed booster for manual lenses? Just the extra light and wider field of view with manual lenses I guess?
Hey Griffin Thank you for doing this tests... Image looks really nice! My question is, if all settings are exactly the same, shouldn't the C70 with the speed booster be almost a stop brighter than the C500 MKII? I don't have any experience with speed booster, but I would have thought DOF would be the same at same aperture and distance to subject, so you would need an ND .3 filter to off set or near off set the image exposure or you could adjust down the ISO. This is how I would expect on a manual lens. Now I have another question, LOL. Is canon actually showing you in the menus .9 as the aperture? If so that could explain the difference in DOF from same aperture. Weird.
I think canon makes the adjustment for you. To put it simply: if you open a 50 1.2 wide open on the c500 mark ii next to that very same lens on the c70 and open it wide open to .9, they will look the same but the c70 will be 1 stop brighter
@@GriffinConway Copy that! My adapter shipped and should arrive tomorrow... I am interested to see what you are saying! I appreciate the response! Good stuff!
Hey Griffin, I just put my Canon 50mm 1.2 L on my C70 and the aperture full open shows 1.2 as on other bodies... I thought you were saying that your C70 camera shows .9 as wide open on your C70 LCD? Sorry if I missed something.
@@christophermcguinness weird! On mine it shows .9 fully open. I actually show the screen at one point in the video showing the .9 reading
@@GriffinConway Weird. My camera did boot and warned me that some functions different or such.
HOLY CRAP the COLOR and DOF are so different! I did not expect that al all! WOW what the heck is going on with the C500 mkii it looks amazing! The c300 mkii/C70 looks awesome but wow when you put both side by side the difference is Very obvious! wtf?
Stop it with the hyperbole. The difference is notifiable (side-by-side) but hardly "very obvious." It not something I'd interchange shot to shot, but definitely possible from scene to scene.
@@krane15
Perhaps YOU don't notice it but I definitely do. I've been a cameraman since 2000 and worked at a post house doing color timing for since 2012. I definitely notice it and anyone with color timing experience can. Maybe not 1000% difference but I'd easily say 20-30% difference in color, tonality, and texture. And remember these are higher end prosumer/ professional cameras so if you don't notice a difference then lucky you👍 my clients, the higher end ones, definitely would call me and let me know. Again this ain't your $1000 camcorder or DSLR comparison so.. I don't think I'm out of line🤷🏻♂️I stand by my previous statement but hey to each their own☺️👍
Focal reducers, or "speed-boosters" do gather more light for 1 to 2 f-stop for exposure, by compressing the image circle of a full frame lens into a smaller sensor, but they cannot cheat physics and create shallower depth of field on a smaller sensor than on a ff sensor or medium format... Only large apertures can do that, there are some f0.85 lenses around...
Have you tested this? In my experience this doesn’t seem to be the case
@@GriffinConway This vid explain it better than I... ruclips.net/video/U9fFYAlv_zQ/видео.html
@@GriffinConway my canon r6 fullframe with RF EEF adapter has a softer DOF than the c70 speedboostered - recorded with he same lense and balanced with stepless ND in front of the lense. i tested ist for interviews with two cams, to find out the best solution. check this out with your C 500II. We can exchange C500 with the R6 if you Like this little monster better now ;-)
What lenses would you recommend for c70 with a speedbooster?
The dof was deeper cause you closed the aperture of the lens to match the reading on camera but that number relates to light not the opening of the lens
Thank you 🙏

Yes Griffin! I’ve got them both too and curious to see what your findings are.
P.s. Youre channel is for sure the best place for Canon content. Hands down!! These videos you do are very well made, professional and always informative. Please keep it going. Great stuff. Cheers!
Hope you reach your goals in 2021!
@@rikihifi thank you!
Awesome review on the canon speedbooster!
Please do a video with the Komodo as well! 🙏🏼
I'm using the speedbooster on my Komodo, and it seems the aperture number still remains the same. Not really sure how Canon speedbooster works, but I think both cameras need firmware updates for this.
Base on my experiences of using MB speedbooster for FS7 and Bmpcc4, the aperture will have 1 more stop faster and allows you to set the aperture at F2 while you use the F2.8 lens. So technically the speedbooster will not affect the DOF, and it only gives you a wider view and faster aperture. For example, 24mm F2 & speedbooster on S35 C70 will match up with the 24mm F2.8 on Full frame C500II, but 1 stop brighter.
Thanks Griffin for your video. I would love to see the speed booster on the Komodo
Awesome thanks! Will try to make that happen!
@@GriffinConway that would be awesome. Since the Komodo has a slightly bigger Sensor Than the c70 I’m wondering if ff lenses will cause vignetting. When I’m doing the math correctly the Komodo will get a 0.9x FOV which is wider than FF. I really appreciate the work you’re doing keep it up
When using the same lens, are you able to achieve a blurrier depth of field with the C500ii? For example, if you set the c500ii wide open to f/1.2, will the background look the same as the c70 set to f/0.9? If so, in terms of DOF only, what is the advantage to having the full frame? Thanks for the review!
you geht more light and less dof with fullframe. you can crop to super 35mm and and and. when i do an interview witf my A-Cam! C70 and B-Cam Canon R6 as a second camera, i use the fullframe R6 for the wider mastershot like 50mm, and the c70 with closer70mm ore 85 mm for example. so i can regulate the DOF very easy, by exposure balanced with variable ND filter on the R6.. (i have to use C-Log-3 cause the R6 doesnt support clog2) that works great. Greetings from poor berlin :-) C500II is to big ;-)
Thank you for doing the test. Was waiting for that! Is there any noticeable loss of sharpness when using the speed booster compared with the C500 m2?
There is none that I can notice...although the 6k sensor in the c500 mark ii is sharper overall than the c70
For a given lens (say a 35 1.4) - would you get the same bokeh with the speed booster as you would on FF?
You can get a shallower depth of field with the speed booster
