Video: Is Metabones Working On A SpeedBooster For EOS M?

SpeedBooster For EOS M? That’s what the videos above and below suggests (by user ckstoa on YouTube). The video above shows an adapter taken from a box with Metabones written on. The used camera is clearly an EOS M (the AF for sure :-) ). In the video below you can clearly see the Metabones logo on the adapter. Is this a prototype undergoing testing? Metabones never mentioned the EOS M mount explicitly, they were just stating that “support for other mounts will be added in the future”.

Interesting news! Would be cool to have a Speed Booster for the Canon EOS M [shoplink 6091](price & specs)[/shoplink]. Btw, the EOS M used in the videos has Magic Lantern installed on it.

Thanks to the reader who sent in the link.

Canon Patent: Image Stabilized Lens For Astro-Photography

Canon Patent

Egami (translated) spotted a Canon patent concerning an image stabilized lens for astro-photography. The lens is able to automatically track objects (stars etc). Canon has a DSLR suited for astro-photography, the EOS 60Da [shoplink 4110](price & specs)[/shoplink]. Such a lens obviously needs a camera that supports it. That means GPS, levelling, and a powerful CPU.
