Hi, I work in both video production and web development. I'm the co-founder of Boulder Digital Arts but live in Florida and Panama and try not to go too far north of those places unless it's summer. I'm creating some web series and working on capturing the programming at BDA.

Metabones Canon EF Lens to Micro Four Thirds Speed Booster "S"

The Metabones Canon EF to Micro 4/3 Speed Booster S-Version Adapter allows you to mount Canon EF lenses to the Micro 4/3 cameras and camcorders. Key features include: - Canon EF Lens Compatibility. This S-Version adapter was designed for Micro 4/3 mount cameras like the E-M1 / E-M10 / E-M5, Panasonic GH4 and AG-AF100A. It enables Canon EF and third-party EF-mount lenses to be used on the Micro 4/3 cameras. However, do note that Canon EF-S lenses cannot be mounted. - Wider Focal Length & Increased Aperture. This version of the Speed Booster widens the focal length of the lens mounted by 0.71x, effectively reducing the overall sensor crop factor from 2x to 1.42×. Additionally, the adapter increases the maximum aperture of the mounted lens by 1 stop. - Electronic Communication. The adapter has the electric contacts on the mount that allows both aperture control and Image Stabilization function with compatible lenses. The adapter doesn’t require a separate power source, and EXIF data is transferred and embedded into your footage. Autofocus is not supported! -Sturdy Design with Built-In Tripod Foot. The aluminum barrel and brass mounts give it a solid feel, with an arca-swiss compatible tripod foot that lets you mount the adapter itself directly to a tripod. This ensures the weight of the lens does not put additional stress on the camera’s mount.

Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 for Canon

The Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 DC HSM A1 is a high quality zoom lens designed specifically for crop-frame Canon EF-mount cameras. Key features include: Fast f/1.8 Aperture Zoom: While most zoom lens apertures top off at f/2.8, the Sigma 18-35mm bests that by 1 1/3-stops. This enables stellar low light shooting, as well as providing full-frame like depth-of-field on a crop-frame camera. Wide to Normal Range: With a 35mm-equivalent focal length of 29mm-56mm, it covers your wide to normal range. This makes it a great option for landscape, event, and street photographers. High Build and Image Quality: As a member of Sigma’s Art lens line, it goes through Sigma’s rigorous A1 testing, ensuring high image quality. Optically, four aspherical and five SLD glass elements are used to minimize distortion and aberrations throughout the zoom range, with Super Multi-Layer coatings for eliminating lens flare and ghosting. The barrel is made of a lightweight TSC compound that gives the lens a solid, sturdy feel. Internal focusing and zooming further back this claim. Dock-Compatible: This lens is also compatible with the Sigma USB Dock for Canon EF Lenses (separate rental item) which allows users to specify certain parameters like fine-tuning microfocus through the Sigma Optimization Pro software.
