Metabones Speed Booster ULTRA 0.71x: Canon EF glass, Sony E-Mount reach
Canon EF and EF-S lenses mount directly onto Sony E-Mount bodies through this adapter, and the optics inside do more than pass light, they compress the image circle by 0.71x, which translates to a 1.33-stop gain in maximum aperture. A 50mm f/1.4 Canon lens becomes an effective 35.5mm f/1.0 equivalent on an APS-C Sony body. That is not a marketing claim; it is geometry built into the Speed Booster ULTRA optical formula.
The adapter maintains full electronic communication between lens and camera, passing EXIF data and supporting aperture control through the body. The included support foot matters practically: heavier Canon L-series zooms need that physical stability point to avoid stressing the mount over time, and it makes the rig balance better on a shoulder or cage setup.
For Sony APS-C shooters in particular, the 0.71x reduction partially compensates for the crop factor, recovering field of view closer to what those EF lenses were designed to deliver. Someone who already owns a Canon EF kit has a real path into Sony E-Mount bodies without abandoning glass they know.
Who It's For
Cinematographers and video shooters working on Sony APS-C or full-frame E-Mount cameras who own Canon EF glass benefit directly from the 1.33-stop aperture increase, which matters in low-light run-and-gun work. Documentary photographers transitioning from Canon DSLRs to Sony mirrorless keep their existing Canon EF and EF-S lenses functional with full electronic communication intact. Travel and street photographers shooting Sony APS-C bodies gain field of view back from the crop factor through the 0.71x focal reduction, making wider Canon EF primes behave closer to their full-frame intent.

FAQ
- Does this adapter work with both Canon EF and EF-S lenses?
- Yes. The adapter accepts Canon EF and EF-S lenses on the input side and mounts to Sony E-Mount cameras on the output side.
- What does the 0.71x magnification actually do?
- It compresses the image circle, which reduces the effective focal length of your lens and increases its maximum aperture by 1.33 stops. A 50mm f/1.4 EF lens becomes 35.5mm f/1.0 equivalent on Sony APS-C.
- Will autofocus and aperture control work through the adapter?
- Yes. The adapter maintains full electronic communication between the lens and camera body, passing EXIF data and supporting aperture control via the body.
- What is the support foot for?
- It provides a physical stability point for heavier Canon L-series zooms to prevent mounting stress and improves balance when the rig is shoulder-mounted or on a cage.
- Can I use this on both Sony full-frame and APS-C cameras?
- Yes. The adapter is designed for Sony E-Mount full-frame and APS-C bodies, though the 0.71x reduction is particularly useful on APS-C to partially compensate for crop factor.
- Does autofocus speed change with this adapter?
- The specs do not detail autofocus performance changes. Autofocus function is supported, but speed may vary depending on the lens and camera combination.
