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.

Word is out that Metabones’ Speedbooster for MFT mounts is delayed until later this year, which is unfortunate as there are many MFT cameras we would like to boost that way.

Ever had to swap lenses the dangerous way? No more!

Kickstarter, the largest crowd-funding platform, has brought some really cool projects to life and ever now and then another creative product comes to the realm of HDSLR.

Like this one: “Backer Capper“, a lens cap holder that can be attached to your belt or backpack strap and makes swapping your lenses on the go easy and avoids the dangerous lens juggling performance we’ve all been through when there was no surface or other person to hold our camera body.

While everything else but the idea looks and sounds very cheesy about this project it sure seems like they managed to get it right. It works with Canon and Nikon and for $20 at Kickstarter you’re in and they need another $18,500 to reach their goal in 27 days: KICKSTARTER LINK

What is true?

We’ve had a 5D mark III for testing and having worked with HDSLR from the start I’d like to point out the most important plusses and minuses of the camera in this short review.
