ACCELERATOR LENS ADAPTER User Manual LAG-MFT-CEF Canon EF Lens to Micro Four Thirds Mount
THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING VELLO The Vello Accelerator Lens Adapter is for attaching Canon EF-mount lenses to Micro Four Thirds cameras. It allows a wider field of view on Micro Four Thirds sensors by magnifying the angle of view by 0.71×. This also provides an extra stop of light without decreasing image quality. For example, mounting a 50mm f/1.4 lens to a Micro Four Thirds sensor will usually give you a 100mm angle of view.
