It was a matter of time before someone would replicate Metabones’ idea and make it cheaper. Mitakon is now selling their first Lens Turbo Adapter with a 0.72x focal reduction (i.e. you get full-frame on a crop sensor). There is a Lens Turbo for Canon FD lenses and [shoplink 12535]Sony’s NEX cameras[/shoplink]. It works exactly like the Speed Booster adapter from Metabones at a fraction of the price. So, if you have some old glorious FD-mount lenses laying around and own a Sony NEX this is for you. There are [shoplink 12533 ebay]Lens Turbo auctions here on eBay[/shoplink]. The official press release can be read at Mitakon’s website.
