Now let’s see how they compare in the field. One advantage though is that the Viltrox EF-M2 is lighter than the Metabones Ultra. So it’s pretty clear that the Viltrox is just a lower quality copycat of the Metabones. There is much more play with the Viltrox than with the Metabones, the lens can move a little. It has these soft cushions which I believe are there to hold the lens firmly in place. Looking at the outside, it’s obvious the Metabones speedbooster has the highest build quality, definitely looks rock solid compared to the Viltrox.
If you don’t know how a speedbooster works, I recommend you check out this article before reading : Ĭomparing Metabones Ultra 0.71x vs Viltrox EF-M2 So let’s see how they compare in the real world ! Note that Aputure and Metabones both sell a 400$ smart adapter which is basically an enhanced adapter ring with the electronic control of the lens but without any glass. You can also find simple 20 dollar EF to Micro Four Thirds metal adapter rings, which is equivalent to not using a speedbooster at all. Unfortunately, because of all the technology involved, speedboosters don’t come out cheap, and this is why I was curious to compare two competing products : the most common Metabones Speedbooster Ultra at 600 dollars and the Viltrox EF-M2 at 170 dollars.
