The Viltrox EF-M2 II Speed Booster Mount Adapter is a camera accessory designed to mount EF and EF...The Viltrox EF-M2 II Speed Booster Mount Adapter is a camera accessory designed to mount EF and EF-S mount lenses onto Micro Four Thirds camera bodies. It features a built-in 0.71x focal reducer to decrease focal length and increase aperture, effectively making the lens faster and wider-angled. This adapter reduces the crop factor of the camera sensor and is made from durable aluminum with a matt finish. It is compatible with lenses that have a filter thread.
This guide is for photographers using Micro Four Thirds (M4/3) cameras who wish to utilize their existing Canon EF/EF-S mount lenses. The VILTROX EF-M2 II Speed Booster Mount Adapter allows you to mount these lenses, offering a 0.71x focal reduction and an increase in aperture, effectively making your lenses wider and faster. A key caveat is that compatibility can vary with certain lens filter thread sizes.

FAQs
Does this adapter allow me to use Canon EF lenses on my Sony E-mount camera?
No, the VILTROX EF-M2 II is specifically designed for Micro Four Thirds (M4/3) camera bodies, not Sony E-mount.
Will the electronic communication features work with all Canon EF lenses?
While it supports most Canon EF and EF-S lenses, some older or specialized lenses might have limited compatibility with electronic functions like autofocus or aperture control.
How does the 0.71x focal reducer affect my lens's field of view?
It effectively shortens the focal length by 0.71x. For example, a 50mm lens will behave like a 35.5mm lens (50 * 0.71 = 35.5) in terms of field of view on an M4/3 camera.
Can I use this adapter for video recording?
Yes, the adapter supports electronic functions which can be beneficial for video, including autofocus and aperture adjustments. However, AF speed may vary depending on the lens and camera.
What is the difference between this and a simple EF to M4/3 adapter?
The key difference is the built-in 0.71x speed booster. Simple adapters only adapt the mount, while this adapter also reduces focal length and increases aperture, making lenses wider and faster.
Is the adapter weather-sealed?
The adapter is constructed from durable aluminum but does not feature specific weather-sealing. It should be protected from harsh environmental conditions.
How do I clean the optical elements inside the adapter?
Use a lens blower to remove dust, then a soft lens brush. For smudges, use a lens cleaning solution sparingly on a microfiber cloth, wiping gently.
Troubleshooting
Lens not recognized by the camera
Ensure the adapter is securely mounted on both the lens and camera. Clean the electronic contacts on the adapter and lens. Check camera firmware for updates and ensure adapter settings are enabled in the camera menu.
Autofocus is slow or inaccurate
Autofocus speed can vary. For critical shots, manual focus may be preferred. Ensure you are in good lighting conditions. Update camera firmware if available, as this can sometimes improve adapter performance.
Aperture control not working
Verify that the lens supports electronic aperture control and that the adapter is functioning correctly. Try a different EF lens to rule out lens-specific issues. Check camera settings to ensure aperture control is enabled through the adapter.
Image appears vignetted or cropped unexpectedly
The 0.71x reduction is designed to work with the M4/3 sensor. Ensure the lens is fully compatible and not causing any optical obstruction. Check if the camera is set to the correct aspect ratio for the sensor.
