The new Commlite Canon to MFT booster with electronic contacts is now listed and in Stock at Amazon US, Amazon CA, Amazon DE, Amazon FR, Amazon UK, Amazon IT and Amazon ES.

Main Features:
– USB Firmware Upgrading;
– 0.71x Focal Reducer Booster;
– EXIF Info. Transmitting；
– Support Auto Focus Function;
– Electronic Aperture Control;
– Built-in IS Stabilization Function;
– Gold-plated Contact Pins for Great Conductivity;
– 1/4 Bottom Tripod Base Plate;
– CNC Processing with Aluminum Alloy Made;

Notice:
1.Increase the Aperture
Increasing one gear of aperture to blur the background and better highlight the theme. CM-AEF-MFT Booster with high-quality will be a good choose for shutterbug.
2.Reduce Focal Length
This adapter built-in with optical correction group, when using the adapter, the focus of the lens should be multiplied by 0.71, then multiplied by 1.5 (the focus multiplier), is the lens’ actually equivalent focus .
For example, the 50mm focal length is mounted on APS-C camera:
50mm (Original EF lens Focal Length) x0.71( EF-E Mount Adapter )x 1.5 (APC-C Conversion Rate )=53.25mm

CIPA just published their June shipment report. And yes, mirrorless shipments are still going well. Compared to June 2017 the number of mirrorless cameras raised by 20% and the overall value of these camera by 37%.

ON the downside DSLR sales decreased while compact sales plumbed further down to hell :)
