How much IQ loss is too much?

You should shot EF50 MM with Canon Adaptor to see who to blame, the Viltrox Speedbooster or crappy EF 50mm 1.8 lenses
So what you are saying is that a $549CAD lens can capture sharper images than a $159CAD speed boosted lens.
@Chris Bryant A lens that is three times the price should produce higher quality images. I was being factitious.
Obviously but a lens isn't a monthly bill but you might use it every day for the next 20 years. I can certainly spare $1.60/month extra for something I will enjoy using.
This is for people who are having a hard time deciding if its worth the extra cost to upgrade idiot 🙄
@@BuhdFrankDaTank93 LOLOL
@@BuhdFrankDaTank93 that’s why I’m here watching the video! Trying to decide if it’s worth the extra money, trying to start a photography business but I’m not off the ground yet, still learning. This video helped me tremendously.
Given it is a crop sensor and you are using a speed booster, the 50mm is getting ~60% more light. So for the 50mm to have the same depth of field as the native 32mm lens you should multiply the F/stop by 1.6 (the crop factor of the sensor size). eg. F1.4 on the 32mm is equivalent to ~F2.2 on the 50mm.
So while I expect the speed booster to not have as good focus given the extra element and the tolerance in the lens mount assembly, it's not a fair comparison given the 50mm has a shallower depth of field when both lenses have the same F/stop. so it's not a relative focus comparison.
This is the perfect example of what a lens comparison should look like. Very well done and very helpful for my decision making.
the 50mm + the Viltrox EF-EOS M2 cost about the half of the price of the 32mm, this must be also to consider!
Thanks man! This is my first time making a comment in all youtube videos I’ve seen coz this helps my dilemma choosing bet the 2. Guess have to pull the trigger on the 32s. Keep up the good work and more power from New Zealand!!!!
hah awesome, thanks for the props and welcome to the world of comments 😎
When using the 50mm without speedbooster, I usually shoot at 2.8 anyway. Won't even consider 1.2/1.4/1.8 (speedboosted) except for really low light video shooting...
Great comparison! Have you done some testing against the kit lens? I would love to see the difference in image quality and sharpness between m50 kit lens and speed boosted nifty fifty :)
Omg. This is what I've been waiting. Thank you!
I heard there was a recent firmware update for the speed booster that addressed some autofocus issues. Was this review done with the latest firmware?
Thanks for the review!
I would really really like to hear the response to this question please.
I did update and the AF is functioning the same as before.
Without the update and a new video it's hard to truly know. There were known auto focus issues at the beginning with this device
The EF Nifty Fifty does not have a reputation for stellar sharpness, but I wonder how much of the difference is down to the speed booster? The speed booster could potentially compromise sharpness in two ways - firstly degradation due to the glass elements, and secondly via possible degradation of autofocus accuracy. That could be tested by trying an EF lens with known to be excellent sharpness such as the 40mm f2.8 or the 100mm 2.8 macro, or the 135 f2. It would also reveal whether or not the warmness issue is down to the nifty fifty or if it is the speed booster which is producing the warmness.
Hmm... since I already have the EF 50, I think I'll go with the adapter. I usually stop down to 2.8 or 4 anyway, and of course I can use the adapter with other lenses also. Just not enough difference for my needs. CA is better on the 32, but pretty easy to fix. Thanks for doing this! Subscribed.
Thanks for the video. I really had these questions in my mind for some time now but I'm glad you did clear most of them.
I wanted to ask you a few more though. Bear with me lol 😅
1.On the M-50 we've a crop factor issue while filming 4k using a native 22mm lens. Applying a speed booster reduces the crop factor to some extent but does it degrade the quality of the video in comparison to a native lens? (Since 4k on a native lens with such crop factor is garbage)
2. Substituting a speed booster with a normal adapter (50mm lens mounted) how much of a difference can we find in quality of the image and video?
my set up is the speedbooster and 16-35 f4. I have noticed the lens to be extremely soft with the speedbooster so I mainly just use it for vlogging and video stuff now. With stills, I just use the adapter.
Im still confused, if i use ef 50mm on "not speedbooster", which will be 80mm on full frame, will i get same compression(or close) with 85mm+speedbooster?
That was a terrific comparison, thanks for making this video. Wow, the 32mm lens is significantly better than the 50mm lens (especially when fitted to the speedbooster adapter). The sharpness difference is amazing and even the out-of-focus areas are smoother, as you showed.
The 50mm f/1.8 is sharper without the speedbooster (another reviewer showed side-by-side images with and without the adapter), but still nowhere near as sharp as the 32mm when both lenses are wide open.
Yeah, to be fair, both should be compared at f1.8 without speedbooster on the 50
In the portraits, technical qualities aside, I preferred the 50mm lens version. Thank you for the comparison. It's very useful.
Yes!! been waiting for this! Amazing video, keep it coming. :D
Will the 50mm lens be sharper without the speed booster? Using a normal adapter instead
Hi, just wondering what everyone’s opinion on the softness quality? Is it softer or a drop in image quality?
Thanks for this one! It was good to see this comparison. I've been very happy with the 32mm but I'd been wanting to see the side by side with the boosted 50mm. I've also heard a lot of people mention the boosted setup can cause extra battery drainage. I've also heard the auto focus is much more audible and a potential sound wrecker with the boosted setup. Have you noticed either of these issues with the speed booster?
At first I thought mine wasn't draining as I had it on overnight with no problem, but a different night the booster did end up draining the battery. Haven't noticed a significant difference in longevity of charge while in use, however. Just the leeching overnight issue. You can hear the AF sound for yourself on my low light video test here ruclips.net/video/_83vf7AR6fY/видео.html and jump to it with my time stamp in the top comment. It was light but audible (with audio control on auto) but quiet enough it could be remedied with manual control.
thank you bro for the review, i use the viltrox and 50mm 1.8 and just found out why in this channel, yes a little warm and blur at the edge of my photo.
Nice!!
I’d would be interested in comparing the Canon 32mm Ef-m vs the boosted Sigma 50mm 1.4.
Could you make the comparison?
Chris Bryant you’re right.
I know now. Certainly not nimble.
But I love the image quality.
This was the exact video I was searching for. Thanks man
Oh man you solved my questions that I can’t seems to find answer for quite sometime, the image quality comparison for both is just crucial to decide if I should go for speed booster thing or without. Great awesome work done!
so yu going with nikon now?
@@britishboxer6875 i will just skip the viltrox and choose to wait and see whats the next development for M mount lenses.... im canon user.
@@soonskiyt Dont hold your breath with canon, they will never sell out their own 4 k cinema line, regardless of the fact we are talking M series, if they do put anything out it will probably not have a mic input or something stupid you need.
@@britishboxer6875 well in fact im not aiming for 4k and want to go light weight in shooting, unless im doing it for commercial. Thanks for the insights.
@@soonskiyt they have to catch up or ketchup, seems like Nikon is a Apple and Canon is PC., Canon only applies market changes depending on moves Nikon makes, everything else depends on competition between their own lines of cameras
I would expect the speedbooster to have some image quality loss due to the fact you're compressing a full frames worth of information into a crop sensor. But I'm curious how the adapter stacks up 1 to 1 and if you absolutely have to use the most expensive m series lens there is it should be put up against the sigma 35mm 1.4 art.
How do you compare both for video shooting? can u do a video for that?
Even though the whole focal length is almost equivalent, the 50 still is a different lens and I'm wondering if the speed booster is not screwing with focus or just doesn't have as good glass...
what mic were you using when you shot this vid?
The problem here is the MORE shallow depth of field on the boosted 50mm. Is it a fair comparison?
Ahhhh I finally saved up for the 32mm, arrives Tuesday 😍
u recommend the 32mm for fashion still photography? blogger Instagram style or should I get the sigma 35mm 1.4
Get the EF-M 32mm it's perfection.
The exact comparison I was looking for. Cheers
thank you for this video. May I know what Tripod are you using?
Sure! I have a few but my current go to is this amzn.to/2sm11ec
Which camera are you using?
Great comparison bro.. but just wanna ask how can you set the EF 50mm to f1.4? The EF only have f1.8 right? sorry for a noob question. thks in advance
the speed booster adds one stop to use with the 50mm
Damn, you just sold me on the 32mm. Guess I need to pick up some overtime at work to afford the price difference.
at f/4, why is it that the 50mil has higher ISO? does it mean that at certain situations a speed boosted set up needs more ISO with the same amount of light?
It looks quite clear that in the test of the roses the native lens focussed on the rose in the foreground and the boosted 50mm lens on the flowers more on the back. You can see the plane of focus in the stone pattern of the table top when zooming on to the vase.
On the 2nd set of pics, I am not sure what specs you are showing. The left image has what appears to be correct data. However, on the right image you are showing specs of 1/160 @ f-1.4, ISO 100 @ 35mm. That's kinda hard to get with a EF50mm f-1.8 STM
Great review, very informative with lots of examples. Thank you
Great video. Did you do this for the Sigma 30mm 1.4 vs the Canon 32mm 1.4? Is it just me, or does there seem to be some contrast difference between the two setups?.. where the adapted lens looks 'more contrasty'.
as a matter of fact... I did! ruclips.net/video/dsvpIbEEado/видео.html
@@DriveByReviews that's great video too thanks ! BTW, the Viltrox EF-EOS M2, that's the latest (as of july2020) EF-M speedbooster from Viltrox, correct?
@@eltouristoduo yes that's their booster for the EF-M mount! And on your observation... that's what I saw as well, with the 32mm having better dynamic range and color depth overall. To be fair the Canon 32mm is a phenomenal lens and was always going to be better than the nifty fifty, but I like to directly compare and see how the IQ presents side by side.
Great comparison, although some of the comparisons had different focus points which threw them off somewhat. You proved that the new f1.4 32mm ef-m lens is better at 1.4 but how is it at f2.8, or better, where we mostly will use it. F1.4 is rarely used for landscapes, mostly portraits only. I feel the 50mm + Viltrox Speed Booster will probably do just fine for most photographers. Please compare the new Sigma f1.4 ef-m mount with the Canon f1.4. I am curious.
thank you so much for in depth and unbiased comparison..on the other hand people here on RUclips only promote speed booster without telling the cons..
Personally I thought the bokeh on the outside shots was nicer on the boosted lens, also the more saturated tones.
Also, am I the only one with the trees at about 13:45 seeing a crisper image on the boosted lens, with instead of purple fringing seeing blue fringing to equal levels on the 32mm lens? Also with the outdoor portraits, dud we go through the f stop range? Seemed to be just f1.4.
Also was that f stop set to f1.4 or was that what was listed on the metadata?
Hm isn't he shooting more wide open on the 50mm due to the speedbooster? Not sure it's equal comparison when it comes to sharpness.
I got a question to the experts here. Since I'm coming from a 5D MKlll and EF only glass ranging from wide-angle through 200mm on 8 lenses including L lenses I was hoping to buy the M50 with the SB and increase the level of "wide open" for portrait photography under studio conditions (available light and HSS setup) e.g. a f1.8 getting more open to f1.2 and a f2.8 down to f2. Assuming this viltrox is perfectly adjusted this would create more soft and less sharper photos but in case the SB isn't, the details shown in the video might be not correct. I'm still confused if I should buy the M50 and a SB to lighten the weight of the setup I'm using. Getting older makes it harder to lift a big camera with a 70-200mm for a longer period of time.
Why on earth would you base your work on some crappy speedbooster. It is the lens that gathers the light. A lens that gathers much light is big. If money is not an issue check for EOS R series, its 70-200 mm is lighter, with the body about 700-800 grams lighter, or you out look at prime lenses, they are lighter. A speedbooster will not increase the light the lens gathers, it just concentrates it better to the small sensor.
Thanks for taking time to do this video. But it is obvious you focused on different planes in many shots, most visible in the flower vase image at 8:19. I am not the only one to see it.
i also think the focussing was off on the 50mm shots. and im sure he took a bunch of shots and picked the ones that best fit his narrative. did he even mention the camera he was using? weird
My real estate set up is a Canon M50 w/ the Laowa 9mm f2.8 ef-m mount lens. Which equates to a 13.5mm full frame.
Is there a Viltrox speed booster or anything that will allow me to get better/wider 4k and allow more light in? I run into some houses with very poor natural light.
I picked up the Laowa as well. The speed booster will only work with the EF lens options. So you have some like the Canon EF 14mm f/2.8L II USM you could boost, however the booster itself in adding elements will always lead to worse IQ. Also you'll have a slightly less FOV than the 14mm but get improved light by 1 stop (so 1.8 which should be plenty for even lower light) Would be interesting to test it out. My main solution using native lenses (like the Laowa 9mm) is to extend the exposure on a tripod, rather than messing with a booster.
very good comparison video… thx for sharing. gonna get my Viltrox EF EOM M2 Speedbooster , will see how it works…
¿Viltrox EF-EOS M2 permite lentes aps-c? ¿O solamente los lentes full frame?
Elias Martinez solo lentes full frame, aunque ellos tienen otro adaptador que permite las dos monturas pero este último hace el recorte...
Would have liked to have seen more video, and discussion on that side. Good comparison on photos 👍
Is it the 1.8 new version or old?
Very informative video thanks!!!
Greetings from the Philippines m8
How can you take 1.5 f pictures with 1.8 lense ?
I have this setup with both of these lenses. The native 32 is the way to go if you have it of course. Nice video.
Does the nifty fifty fit the Viltrox speedbooster without any modification to its mount? Thanks
Yes, it is an EF mount which is what this Viltrox speedbooster is designed for.
After finding myself watching this for like the 3rd time and realizing I HADN'T subscribed... I quickly remedied that!
Been debating the next lens for awhile for m50 already equipped with 11-22mm, 22mm f/2, kit 15-35, and a (serviceable for now) tamron 70-300mm f/4-5.6 with the canon adapter that is fine if stationary. Drooling over this 32, but still have been strongly considering the nifty 50 AND speedbooster so I have the benefits of a ~57mm with the viltrox or 80mm with the ability to use if I upgrade to full frame AND still pay half the price. An effective 1.2 f stop (though not the same DoF as FF), but negated if the performance is truly sub-par under f/2.8...and neither have IS for video shooting, which I do more of than photography, and your other video made it seem like keeping focus wide open in 1.4 was a bit of a headache.
Then there's the opportunity cost of not picking up the native 55-200mm for handheld or hiking telephoto, or the 28mm for improved macro product shots.. or just saying screw it and going for a 24-105 or 24-70 L f/4 that will translate to a FF in the future...
Sadly, as helpful as the video has been..don't think I'm any closer to pulling the trigger. That said, any additional insights from the community would be very welcome!
Hah! It's difficult living in a world with so many lens options! Sometimes you just gotta pull the trigger and find out how things go ;) Have some good news for you, though. I just finally finished an efm 22mm vs 32mm video and am uploading now. Also, I picked up the EF 40mm and a straight EFM-EF adapter to give the Viltrox Booster a fair comparison to show how much IQ is effected. Lastly, I picked up the m6 mark ii because it's release excited me. Stay tuned!
I really would have liked to have seen the 32mm compared to the speed boosted 50mm AND then the 50 without the speed booster. I wonder how much of the clarity difference is due to the qualities of the 50mm vs the qualities of the glass in the speed booster?
agreed, I just picked up the normal adapter and will do a comparison starting with the EF 40mm
The EFM 1.4 is equivalent 51.2mm and f2.24 (x1.6) on full-frame equivalent, and depth of field is 21cm for a subject 2m away. The EF 50mm ends up being a 56.8mm and f2.04 full-frame equivalent (x0.71 x1.6) and depth of field is 15.5cm for a subject 2m away. So shooting both at their maximum apertures the EF 50mm will have a smaller depth of field and the image will appear more 'blurry' in places. Add in the fact the the EFM 1.4 is a much better lens and can be shot wide open at f1.4, whereas (in my opinion) the EF 50mm needs to be stopped down to at least f2.2 (on FF, f1.6 showing with speedboaster on eos-m and f2.5 full-frame equivalent) before the images look good enough; at this point the depth of field is 19cm, still less than the 32mm wide open.
A fairer comparison would be to keep the depth of field the same, which would mean shooting the EFM 32mm wide open at f1.4 and the EF 50mm at f1.8 (only 1cm less DOF). I'm sure the EFM 32mm will still look much better but the comparison will be more fair.
This effect if partly because the EF lens has a wider FF equivalent aperture and also because it ends up being FF equivalent 5.6mm longer focal length.
This is still a super helpful video, thanks a lot for making it!
Hey great comparison, but I think the infinity focus on your speedbooster looks quite a bit off,
I think you probably need the manually adjust the glass element in the booster as it just seems way off, I had this issue until I actually calibrated the elent properly and then fixed it in place to stop it moving as the locking screw does not stop the element from turning as it will move over time by itself
Hey buddy. Pls do share details on how you found out about this issue and how you resolved it. I'll be getting my speedbooster in the mail soon.
Yes, please share!
I third this! I find the 50mm best at f2.8 but I'd still like to know
iamcolinedwards The lens element rotates within the Viltrox speed booster and the locking screw didn't seem to secure the element, I noticed focusing issue and increased softness with image and lenses I knew to be quite sharp.
To test infinity focus is used a manual focus Pentax lens @f4 and focuses via liveview on a distant object(a tree)on my 80d, noted the point critical focus was achieved on the lens scale then put the same lens on the M50 with the speed booster and via liveview adjusted the element in the Viltrox speed booster until the same focus was achieved.( Liveview to focus off both the (80d/ M50)sensors as more accurate)
Cleared up my issues,
ps there are many videos on how to adj infinity focus on the Vitrox speed booster, but on my copy the locking screw doesn't seem to do anything to secure the Lens element in place, so although it may not be pretty I folded a small piece of card and placed it in between the screw threads of the element to stop it rotating easily out of place once set
I'm a total noob, and I have a question, the efm lenses, do they tend to be more expensive than those that need an adapter? I'm talking about lower end ones, maybe those within $500
the efm lenses are generally cheaper than ef lenses. Although you can find cheaper setups that replicate the efm native lenses. It's why I made the booster comparison. One of my favorite video setups is the EF 40mm speedboosted on the viltrox SB. But you get what you pay for. Generally cropped sensor camera lenses are cheaper than full frame equivalents.
Awesome Job, excellent comparison
The 50mm f/1.8 still produces shallower depth of field than the 32mm f/1,4.
right , this is why its soften
Slightly shallower DOF, but looks like garbage by comparison in terms of distortion, vignetting and even more so, SHARPNESS.
It's like comparing a pro lens to a kit lens.
Yeah it's important to keep in mind the Viltrox is both giving you the full 50mm (almost giving you a full frame) as well as upping the stops. My EF 100 f2 reports as a 1.4 through the booster. Drive by had upped the shutter speed in the first example to compensate, but could have also dropped aperture. That would have leveled the DOF between the two. I mentioned this above, but that 50 is kind of a mess shot wide open. The 50/1.4 does much better, and again, through a booster you're actually talking 50/0.95 or so :)

I just bought the 50mm with speedbooster. This video couldn't come at a better time! Thank you.
Haha I just did too
In the first image the 50mm produces better bokeh because the background is more compressed. To get the same image and test images you would have to take a few steps back on the 50mm or take a step closed using the 32mm. If you get closer using 32mm the background will compress drastically but will also distort
Awesome comparison. Do you happen to have the Canon EF-M adapter? It would be interesting to see a comparison of the 50mm between Viltrox adapter and Canon adapter.
I do and I'll probably do it with the 40mm if not also with the 50.
The regular adapter makes it about a 80mm lens.
From a depth of field perspective when using a speed booster your F1.4 50mm is actually acting as F1.0 36mm so far shallower depth of field. You should also try the Metabones speed booster versus the Viltrox as there are reports that the Metabones is sharper. My personal experience with the Metabones on a 50mm F1.7 is that it is tack sharp but paper thin depth of field wide open.
Good comparison. The $95 canon 50/1.8 is not sharp without speed booster though ;) The new 35mm is a much better glass.
I use the Tamron SP 35 and 45mm/1.8 with the speed booster on my m50 and the image quality is just phenomenal. You can find the SP 45mm on eBay for $300, I recommend it, plus it has image stabilization and you can use it on other systems as it is a standard EF mount
nice, might have to pick one of those up soon
Fred Dumartin what’s your overall experience with the Tamron 35 1.8 and the M50? I want to pick that setup myself
@@RodrigoAReyes95 if you need 1.8 it's a great lens, compact and sharp and I like the 35mm focal distance better than 45 or 50. The autofocus is not the fastest with the m50 when you go down to 1.8 (or 1.2 with the speed booster) like any camera when the focus depth is so shallow. Up to f2.8 or f4 it is more efficient. I ended up using this Tamron 35mm a lot more on my EOS R because the AF is better, and I'm using more the Canon 16-35 f4 IS on the m50 which give me a nice flexibility and some fantastic results. So my conclusion is if you have the m50 with kit lenses or the 22mm EFM, the Tamron is a massive step up in image quality and performance, if you can get a used L-lens (EF) from canon with the adapter or the speedbooster it would be even better but a lot heavier as well. The Tamron SP35 is my favorite prime in my 11 lenses kit.
Fred Dumartin I do have the Tamron and I know its quality, I use it on my 5D4 but I want to try a mirrorless but basic but the most basic of videos, that’s why I want this camera and not even the rp, and it’s good to know that my lens will work more than fine, thanks for the answer.
Native eos M had slight green tint, i use daylight WB and set it a bit to magenta and red
Given the M50's crop factor, is the EFM 34mm f/1.4 really just a 50mm f/1.4?
Don't forget to multiply the crop factor to the aperture as well. You'll basically get 1.4 x 1.6 = 2.24 (full-frame equivalent)
I think the point you should take from this is a budget option vs a more specific purchase. Native vs adapted. Adapted lenses are more suited at the bargain photographer. You could easily get 3 or more good cheap ef lenses adapted vs getting 1 or 2 good native primes. Which I think is most the RUclips community.
Yep. I had to make do with not-the-best stuff for a long time. The question becomes not what's better but what's good enough.
Thanks for the comparison. Can you please compare 32mm with 50mm f1.2 L with the speedbooster.
So a $1500+ lens with a $100 speed booster? Any other clever ideas?
Great comparison. This is what I am deciding between.
What’s difference between full or 0.5m-Infinity? And how they work?
That is simply a focus limiter to speed up the autofocus. You can normally leave it to 0.5 m - Infinity and move to full only if you shoot closer.
So the solution is a regular adapter without speedbooster? that cost a lot cheaper?
Canon are bringing out their own speed booster.
@@humansrants1694 would be nice!
@@humansrants1694 when will it be?

what happens with a7iii? speedbooster i mean o na full frame camera
Great review! and stunning pictures!! You earned a like and subscribe my friend. I just picked up the m50 myself.
I think imma go with adapter...
Not working as profesional yet, still taking job from the village, and still learning...
Sometimes i shoot photo with an old 1100d, and sometimes i shoot video with my cheap eos m10 mirrorless...
Been thinking about buying ttartisan 35 1.2 efm and nifty fifty efs, but buying 50mm ef + speedbooster can help me get both, and the adapter can be use when i get another ef lens...
Good comparison; 50mm f1.8 is anyway weak before f4.0..so is speed booster at fault or 50mm lens itself..?
That's a good point, I'd have to compare between a simple EF to EFM adapter, or to a full frame with the 50, to pull out any specific deficiencies from the speed booster. Besides the odd difference in AF points recognized, the booster appears to be doing a great job allowing the m50 to use the nifty 50 at expected quality/performance.
It's the viltrox adapter. The 50mm is usually sharper wide open than with the viltrox adapter, it's definitely sharper on the Canon standard adapter, but definitely not as sharp as the 32mm lens. The 50mm usually looks sharp at f/2.8.
@@cooloox Well, the center of the 50 was always sharp, and that's only what you're using when you're using the standard adapter. The 50mm is really soft in the corners on a full frame. Always has been since it was introduced in the 70s (the formular of the Canon 50mm f/1.8 didn't change afaik since the FD-mount).
Yes, very useful comparison. I can live with the weight of the 50mm plus booster, but the sharpness is not comparable. So..more money for Canon then
I haven't watched the video yet, but thanks for the review cause I was actually curious about this.
Hmmm after watching the video, I'd be interested in repeating the experiment with manual focus. Reason being is at 8:25, you claim the bokeh isn't as smooth on the 50mm, but that's because it's focused more on the vase. I can claim the 50mm is sharper since the vase is sharper on the 50mm in that particular shot. It appears their focus planes are not exact so different parts will be in focus for the 2 different shots.
Wouldn't you expect more sharpness out of the native glass because shooting at 1.4 as it basically acts as a 2.24 once you consider the crop factor? Even though the field of view is similar the aperture isn't. So wouldn't your test have been more accurate if you set the 32 @1.4 and the 50 @ 2 or 2,2 and then move the fstop up with each considering the 1.6 and 1.1 crop factors? Or perhaps even the 50mm 1.4 since its more in the same league as the 32mm?
No, the crop factor does not work like that. Even if you have deeper DOF on the native lens does not mean it is guaranteed to be sharper. Gerald Undone has a video about how full frame lense and apsc lenses work and I suggest you watch it.
The most useful comparison is comparing the lenses at the largest aperture since it is the main selling point and most people will be using this for portraits. I don't care about comparing the sharpness once stopped down. Of course, when you have different apertures you need to consider all factors such as sharpness, bokeh, CA, and flaring. Seems like the native lens is winning on everything except for bokeh.
@@khuo0219 Actually you are supposed to multiply the Fstop by crop factor on apsc to figure your effective depth of field in regards to aperture. I do agree though that it is not the only factor involved in sharpness which is why I think this is a bad comparison to begin with. It should have been compared to a better ef lens than the nifty fifity on the speedbooster. There is a reason its only a little more than a hundred bucks.
@@kenjones2455 That's wrong, google it.

Well, it’s a good comparison. But there is one thing that I want to point out. When the 50 f1.8 is speed boosted , the max aperture shown on the camera is f1.2. So May be if you would have stopped down the 50mm to f1.4 it would given you the same dof. Another thing that supports this argument is the slight faster shutter speed on almost every image from 50mm
I got myself an speed booster but ended up getting the 32mm again. I find the speed booster heavier, slower focus speed and sometime it just can't focus during lowlight scenery (sunset or city light) but it work very well if manual focus. I don't do manual focus so for me 32mm is my answer.
Hope you make a video compare canon 32mm f1.4 VS sigma 30mm art 1.4( of course need canon mount if we want to put sigma 30/1.4 art on canon M series). Because almost of people who use Canon M series also have Canon mount (EF/EFS-EOS), and Sigma30/1.4 art more cheaper than Canon 32/1.4. I also want to save my budget. Thank you.
The EFM32 Is superior to both the 30 Art and the 35 Art.
@@TimoWarnken debatable, it all depends on the person's personal preference.
Dude this video is PERFECT! This is exactly the question I had in my life, thank you for clearing it up!
awesome, thanks for the positive feedback
Great reviewed !! 👍👍👍❤️
YMMV...... Hope Viltrox keeps updating firmware to cater for older/cheaper Canon lenses. Not everyone has latest Canon lenses.... e.g. no support for older lenses like plastic 35mm F2 (pre STM).
How do you get that slow motion effect in videos?
The M50 has a slow motion video setting that shoots in 120fps and then creates a video file automatically at 30fps, giving that 1/4 speed slow motion video. When I get to the M50 vs. m6markii video I'll show how to do it in camera
So is it worthy almost 250 bucks more or not thanks
What if I only shoot videos? How's the sharpness?
HELP! I just received my Viltrox EF-EOS M2 speed booster. I mounted my brand new Tamron 18-400 to it and mounted both to my brand new M50. I am getting SEVERE vignetting at all focal lengths! Like looking through a tube! I did my research before and since and no one seems to have this issue. I want to just throw it all in a box and send it all back! So frustrated. BTW, the kit lens 15-45 works fine so is it the speed booster or the lens?!
I think it's because the Tamron 18-400 is made for a APS-C sensor camera and not for a full frame camera. Lenses for APS-C sensors already crop the light a little bit to fit a smaller sensor, the same light is cropped again when going through the speedbooster which is causing the vignetting. Correct me if i am wrong someone :)
That's an APSC lens which is not supposed to be used with a speed booster, The speed booster is for adapting FF glass only
I don't know but I did my own comparison with the Viltrox Speed Adapter + 50mm 1.8 STM and the Canon Adapter + 50mm 1.8 STM, the Canon adapter is apparently sharper, I compared it with the same zoom level as the Viltrox Speed Adapter, But what I did notice is that the Viltrox Adapter has a very slight misfocus, hence why it is a little blurry, surprisingly, manual focus will make it as sharp as the Canon adapter counterpart, No difference whatsoever, so, I'm guessing this test that you did with your video, focus is a little bit off because of the Viltrox Adapter? I don't know, tell me guys what you think.
I have the 32MM for my M50. I can only say, amazing! Probably the most sharpest lenses out of any primes for EF-M available. One of the best in general. Perfect low light, great for portraits, also they are excellent for landscape if you don't need the zoom 👍. Second best to me are 18-150MM. Best all around. They also have more focus points than 32MM. Makes more image in focus, but ofc they can't compare much in optical and image quality with 32MM.
Mine is m50 mark ii.
Do we need adaptor to use it.?
@@NamasteLungwaVlog Well depends on which one. The EF-M is a standard, made for the M50 and M50 MK II. No adapter needed, as for other lens mounts, you need to use it.
you forgot the crop factor, f4 on a crop is equivalent to f4 * 1.6 on the full frame (meaning you needed to compare to ~ f6 or f6.5). the real issue with speedbooster is reduction in image quality, mostly distortions and chromatic aberration
Who cares what it is equivalent on full frame?
Thanks for the video. I do have the speed booster since today and I'm loving it. I was wondering how it'd compare to the 32mm so this video is perfect. The 32mm almost looks unrealistic sharp for my taste, so I am not regretting getting the Viltrox.
Great comparison. Even in 2021 Australian money, the Ef m 32 is twice the price of the 50mm, if you look at the right one. The 50mm 1.4 usm(3x the price) + speedbooster same price as the 32mm
I was in the same boat i bought my m50 with the pancake lens but didnt know at the time the crop sensor so i cant take a proper portrait photo. Now im thinking of upgrading should i go for the efm 32mm or should i just buy the viltrox speedbooster?
If you don't have any lenses for the booster already then the EFM 32mm makes the most sense. I'm actually going to post a 22mm Vs. 32mm video hopefully this weekend and it shows how well the 32mm works with portraits a bit more. I also picked up the EF 40mm STM to trial with the Speed boster Vs. Adapter to see how much IQ is lost with the booster.
Drive By Reviews the only lens i have is that pancake 50 mm didnt know with mirrorless its a crop sensor so yeah. But with the price point of 450 is it worth?
@@renzcaballero2706 Oh gotcha, by pancake I assumed you were saying you had the EFM 22mm. Viltrox Booster is so low cost and has a similar FOV, it's why I did this comparison. If you watch my vids and like the look of the EF 50mm boosted then you'll like that setup for yourself. I think the 32mm is absolutely worth it. It's high quality glass when compared to the cheap 50mm. Less distortion, better image quality, and made to work with the m50.
Drive By Reviews thanks for that quick reply i know that spending a good glass is the way to go with photography. Cause the 50 mm with the viltrox is nice too but not as nice the efm 32mm although it cost like 300 more if i get viltrox. I might just get the efm if its worth every penny then.
