[H1] Metabones® Launches EF-X Mount T CINE Speed Booster® ULTRA 0.71x II and EF-X Mount T CINE Smart Adapter™ II [H1] (PDF Version) Vancouver, Canada, 24th January 2025 - Metabones® launches EF-X Mount T CINE Speed Booster® ULTRA 0.71x II and EF-X Mount T CINE Smart Adapter™ II, updates to their respective original versions. These new products share the same great feature set with the originals - phase-detection autofocus (PDAF), T-stop display with supported cinema lenses and supported Fujifilm cameras, smooth iris with supported Canon, Sigma and Tamron lenses for aesthetically-pleasing iris/aperture transitions in movies, and optimized support of both in-body image stabilization (IBIS) and optical image stabilization (OIS). Metabones EF-X Mount T CINE Speed Booster ULTRA 0.71x II shares the same advanced 5-element/4-group optical design by Caldwell Photographic Inc. with its predecessor, which incorporates ultra-high index tantalum-based optical glass to achieve extraordinary optical performance with improved corner sharpness, distortion and reduced vignetting. The changes of Mark II are all under the hood: an improved processor powers the new Metabones EF-X Mount T CINE Speed Booster ULTRA 0.71x II and the new Metabones EF-X Mount T CINE Smart Adapter II. The addition of a 'II' mark in red is the only difference that is visible from the outside. Metabones intends to keep publishing new firmware for both the new hardware and the old hardware in the foreseeable future, until the old hardware is outgrown. Metabones wishes to assure existing patrons that at the time of writing there is no intention to end-of-life the original Mark I version. At the same time as Mark II launches, Metabones publishes new firmware version 1.50 for EF-X. Existing patrons please download Metabones App by going to metabones.com and click on the SUPPORT/DOWNLOAD link to get the latest version. In addition to reliability and performance improvements, this new firmware adds support for the Canon 10x25 (CINE-SERVO 25-250mm) T2.95 cinema lens with built-in 1.5x tele-converter. It is now possible to use this high-ratio, ENG/EFP-style servo zoom for film-making on Fujifilm cameras with tight electronic integration. On supported Fujifilm cameras the iris is displayed in T-stops. Focus distance is displayed in the viewfinder. Availability Metabones EF-X Mount T CINE Speed Booster ULTRA 0.71x II is available right now from Metabones' worldwide network of resellers as well as its web store for USD699 plus shipping and applicable duties and taxes. Metabones EF-X Mount T CINE Smart Adapter II costs USD449 plus applicable shipping, taxes and duties and will be available in February 2025.

Metabones® offers a comprehensive range of adapters covering most popular lens mounts, as well as some rare and exotic ones. "Always at the forefront of innovation without ever setting aside practicality as a professional tool" perhaps best epitomizes Metabones' philosophy.

[H1] Metabones® EF-MFT mount T Speed Boosters, Popular Among Cinematographers, Receives Upgrades [H1] (PDF Version) Vancouver, Canada, November 22, 2024 - Metabones launches EF-MFT mount T Speed Booster ULTRA 0.71x II and EF-MFT mount T Speed Booster XL 0.64x II today. These updated products inherit an exclusive feature set from the originals: phase-detection autofocus (PDAF) on supported cameras including Panasonic GH7, smooth iris with supported Canon, Sigma and Tamron lenses for aesthetically-pleasing iris/aperture transitions in movies, and optimized support for both in-body image stabilization (IBIS) and optical image stabilization (OIS). EF-MFT mount T Speed Booster ULTRA 0.71x II has the same optics as its predecessor, a 5-element/4-group optical design incorporating ultra-high index tantalum-based optical glass and specifically optimized for the MFT mount T sensor size and filter stack, for unsurpassed optical quality. MTF (modulation transfer function) is increased across the entire image – MFT mount Speed Booster ULTRA always enhances but never degrades the sharpness of the attached lens. It shortens (widens) the focal length of the attached lens by 0.71 times and increases brightness by 1 stop. Similarly, EF-MFT mount T Speed Booster XL 0.64x II shares its 6-element/4-group optical design with its predecessor. It shortens (widens) the focal length by 0.64x and increases brightness by 1-1/3 stops. Both are designed by Caldwell Photographic in the USA. EF-MFT mount T Speed Booster ULTRA 0.71x II is redesigned, however, to fit on OM System cameras. Consequently, support for legacy cameras with passive/non-electronic MFT mount is dropped. If the camera’s mount has no electrical contacts, it is no longer supported. For example, the original Blackmagic Cinema Camera 2.5k from 2012 and Digital Bolex D16 from 2013 are not supported. In addition, EF-MFT mount T Speed Booster ULTRA 0.71x II and EF-MFT mount T Speed Booster XL 0.64x II have a new feature added which lets the user configure EXIF data of a fully manual Canon EF mount lens which may subsequently be recalled by pushing a button on the Speed Booster. The following table summarizes the differences between various Metabones EF-MFT mount T Speed Boosters and Smart Adapters. EF-MFT mount T Speed Booster ULTRA 0.71x II EF-MFT mount T Speed Booster XL 0.64x II EF-MFT mount T Smart Adapter II EF-MFT mount T CINE Smart Adapter EF-MFT mount T CINE Speed Booster ULTRA 0.71x EF-MFT mount T CINE Speed Booster XL 0.64x EF-MFT mount T Speed Booster SUPER16 0.58x EF-BMPCC4K T CINE Speed Booster ULTRA 0.71x EF-BMPCC4K T CINE Speed Booster XL 0.64x EF-BMPCC4K T Speed Booster ULTRA 0.71x EF-BMPCC4K T Speed Booster XL 0.64x EF-BMCC T Speed Booster (0.64x) EF-M43 mount T Smart Adapter (discontinued) EF-MFT mount T Speed Booster ULTRA 0.71x (replaced by II) EF-MFT mount T Speed Booster XL 0.64x (replaced by II) Support OM System cameras ✔ ✗ ✔ ✗ Support cameras with passive (non-electronic) MFT mount ✗ ✗ ✔ ✔ Support Panasonic Tele-converters ✗ ✗ ✔ ✗ LED indicator ✔ ✔ ✔ ✗ EXIF for manual lenses 1 1 3 ✗ More powerful processor ✔ ✔ ✔ ✗ Metabones wishes to assure existing patrons that there is no intention to terminate firmware support for the original versions at the time of writing. In addition, EF-MFT mount T CINE Speed Booster ULTRA 0.71x, EF-MFT mount T CINE Speed Booster XL 0.64x and all Metabones products for Blackmagic will not be updated but will remain the same in the foreseeable future. At the same time as the new products launch, Metabones publishes new firmware version 4.20 for EF-MFT. Existing patrons please download Metabones App from metabones.com and click on the SUPPORT/DOWNLOAD link to get the latest version. For over a decade, Metabones EF-MFT mount Speed Boosters have been the de-facto standard for many types of video work, where a Panasonic GH series camera or a Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera and the venerably fast (bright) Sigma 18-35/1.8 DC HSM Art 013 have been standard pairing. Metabones not only fills in the missing link between the two (serving as an adapter) but the Speed Booster also brings full-frame performance to the table. Today’s new hardware and new firmware are great news to new and existing customers alike. Availability The Metabones EF-MFT mount T Speed Booster ULTRA 0.71x II and EF-MFT mount T Speed Booster XL 0.64x II are available from Metabones' worldwide network of resellers as well as its web store for USD649 plus shipping and applicable duties and taxes.

[H1] Metabones eND Smart Adapter Opens up a New Degree of Freedom for Cinematography [H1] (PDF Version) Vancouver, Canada, September 12th, 2024 - The iris controls depth-of-field in cinematography, whereas the shutter speed/angle controls the motion blur. Metabones Canon EF to Sony E CINE eND Smart Adapter controls the exposure with an electronically-controlled neutral density (ND) filter, which means cinematographers have artistic control over these three essential variables independently. An OLED display shows the status and settings, and a rotary dial controls the eND filter, which has an adjustment range of -2 to -7 stops. Everything is powered by the camera, with no external power source necessary. At the simple flick of a lever, the eND filter is swapped out and replaced by a clear filter, which has the appropriate thickness to make sure that back-focus remains the same. Canon EF mount and EF-S mount lenses can be used with Metabones EF-E CINE eND Smart Adapter, adapting them to be used on Sony E mount cameras. Metabones invented the Smart Adapter in 2012, and has been the leader ever since. Metabones has been offering exclusive features pertinent to video, such as support for most cinema lenses, including Canon CN-E Compact Servo zooms, with power zoom, autofocus, and auto iris, and Sigma CINE lenses in Canon EF mount, with lens metadata display on the camera. Metabones' smooth iris feature smooths out aperture/iris changes to make them aesthetically pleasing, and works with many Canon, Sigma and Tamron lenses. Metabones is equally great for still photography, having the fastest phase-detection autofocus (PDAF) of any adapter on the market. Both in-body image stabilization (IBIS) and optical image stabilization (OIS) are supported, with optimizations to maximize effectiveness. One of the top reasons why Metabones is trusted and widely used by professionals all over the world is the firmware updates, boosting some of the longest firmware support periods in the camera industry. As mirrorless camera technology evolves over the years, so does Metabones firmware - performance improves, more cameras and lenses are supported, and new features are added - all these at no additional cost to the customer, but just a free download from www.metabones.com. Availability Metabones EF-E CINE eND Smart Adapter is on display at LC-Tec Displays AB's booth at IBC 2024, Amsterdam, September 13-16, 2024. It will be available for purchase shortly afterward from Metabones' worldwide network of resellers as well as Metabones' online store for USD599 plus shipping and applicable duties/taxes.

Your Diagnosis
Before revealing the machine’s verdict, predict the BS score for each signal. Higher = more BS (more fluff, less verifiable substance). Drag each slider, then submit to compare your judgment against the engine.
Information Density

Your predicted BS score
0 / 100
Stuck? Reveal the heuristic lens — how the deterministic page-auditor reads each signal (no AI, pure pattern rules)
These are the structural rules a local, deterministic auditor applies — the same lens you can use to judge each signal. They describe what to look for, not this company’s result.
Information Density
Classify each sentence as substantive or hollow. Grounding markers — numbers, currencies, dates, technical units, named entities — outweigh marketing adjectives. When fluff sits right next to hard evidence, the fluff is forgiven.
Semantic Alignment
Pull the main entities out of the H1, then check whether they actually recur through the body. A page that announces one thing and then talks about another drifts. Headings with no real sentences underneath read as pseudo-substance.
Trust & Proof
Count trust words (review, testimonial, rating, verified) against real outbound proof links (Google, Trustpilot, Clutch, G2, Yelp). Lots of trust language with zero verification links is trust theatre. Unlinked logo galleries count against it.
Commodity Fingerprint
Look at how much sentence length varies. Natural writing varies its rhythm; templated or mass-produced copy is statistically uniform. Very low variation reads as commodity content — unless unique named entities break the pattern.
Identity & Authority
Inspect the JSON-LD. Is there an Organization or Person schema, and does it carry sameAs links to real external profiles (LinkedIn, socials)? Missing schema or no identity declaration signals an anonymous entity.
Want to apply this lens yourself? The free BS Indicator Chrome extension runs these heuristic checks live on any page. Bear in mind it is a single-page, deterministic tool — it relies only on pattern rules for the page in front of it and does not perform the cross-page semantic correlation this audit uses, so its readout is a starting lens, not the full verdict.

Replace the stale 2013 TIPA award with recent professional use cases or technical reviews from 2025/2026. Provide outbound links to independent AF speed test data to substantiate performance claims. Add a more prominent H1 and meta-description to the homepage to improve discoverability without sacrificing the technical aesthetic.
The site aligns strictly with the Photography and Video industry, specifically as a specialized hardware manufacturer of lens adapters. The technical content focuses on optical engineering and electronic protocol integration rather than the generic ‘visual narrative’ services found in studio portfolios.
“The score of 24 is driven primarily by Trust and Proof gaps and Identity and Authority scores. The lack of structured data (schema) and the reliance on a decade-old award for trust are the only significant sources of 'BS' in an otherwise highly substantive technical site. Information density and semantic coherence are nearly perfect, preventing the score from reaching moderate or high BS levels.”
