R.J.’s Speedbooster adapter for Nikon – only $200

We really loved the Metabones Speedbooster adapter, a device that transforms any aps-c sized sensor to a full frame lookalike and gives us one full additional stop of light. Here’s R.J.’s take on the Speedbooster with a version for Nikon cameras.

Canon EOS C300 – now $2000 off

The Canon C300 has just been significantly reduced in price. B&H sent out a notice announcing a $2000 pricedrop.

Even though there is competition for the C300 with the introduction of the C500 and low priced C100 the C300 fills an important slot with its internal All-I codec and SDI connection possibilities.

There’s more competition from Sony with their new PMW-F5 model that’s already in stock.

Both the PL version as well as the EF version of the EOS C300 are now $2000 off and available at B&H with 0% financing.

That makes the C300 priced at $13,999 right now.
