Meike recently announced the X0.71 Speed Booster Locking Mount Adapter, an innovative addition designed for Canon RF cameras. This adapter brings versatility by supporting both full-frame and EF-mount lenses.
The new adapter, labeled MK-EFTR-071XL, has a suggested retail price of $279.99. It is compact with a maximum diameter and length of 73×20.6mm and weighs only 163g (0.36lb). Packaged dimensions are 88x65x88mm, making it a portable and handy tool for photographers on the go.
One of the standout features of this adapter is its ability to support auto-focus and auto-aperture. It is particularly recommended for use with Canon RF S35 movie cameras or APS-C cameras like the EOS R10. By incorporating a speed booster, the adapter allows the lens’ aperture to be increased by one stop while reducing the equivalent focal length. This enhancement results in better bokeh and improved light intake, making subjects stand out more prominently against a blurred background.
The adapter also includes electronic contacts that facilitate auto-focus and image stabilization. A gasket adjustment feature is available to tweak focus distance by adding or removing gaskets, which must be placed flat to avoid affecting image quality. Constructed with metal, the mount is designed for durability, as well as resistance to water drops and dust, making it suitable for outdoor shoots.
For those interested in adding this versatile adapter to their kit, more information is available on the Meike website.
With its combination of advanced features and robust design, the Meike X0.71 Speed Booster Locking Mount Adapter is a valuable addition for any Canon RF camera user looking to expand their lens compatibility and enhance their photography experience.
