Have been watching the price of this for a while, but unfortunately bought one for $165 last week. This is the lowest price I see now. This adapter lets you convert your EOS camera to a full frame equivalent (Not in real, afterall a full frame camera is always a full frame ;)), enlarges 1 level aperture. Great accessory to consider for your EOS camera. You wont lose the autofocus or aperture control.

Also available at following for a slightly different price

Just adding a quick review after a weeks usage, its just my personal experience (I tried with Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 on my Canon EOS M50)
- A nice little thing to try out with your EOS camera, good build quality
- Autofocus and aperture control work good
- Takes max aperture from 1.8 to 1.2
- No battery drain issue noticed so far, As per viltrox its resolved in the latest versions
- Picture quality, I would say 8/10 (from reviews on youtube they say that the edges are not sharp which I am not worried as I am not a pro photographer).

    Thank you! You've made my sunday :)

    Missus won't be happy with me about another camera purchase though…

    • Foma2 on 01/09/2019 - 10:02

      You are not alone.

  • Foma2 on 01/09/2019 - 10:02

    But probably I will skip on this one as I do not really need it.

  • marantz on 01/09/2019 - 10:46

    For those buying, which lens will you be using with this adaptor.

    I was thinking using it on the 24-105

    • nevin on 01/09/2019 - 11:05

      I use ef 50mm f1.8, works well with viltrox

      • dcep on 01/09/2019 - 21:29

        model says ef-eos m2

        description says Canon EF Lens to Canon EOS-M

        is there difference between m2 and m?

        • Micky14 on 02/09/2019 - 08:16

          It's for eos-m series. So m, m2, or m10, m100 ets. They all can mount as long as it's eos-m series. Only some newer model might have not being able to auto focus or read the aperture value. It needs to be solved via firmware update.

    The reviews don't look very encouraging https://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/4350743 do anyone here has a better experience?

  • mayor of bargaintown on 01/09/2019 - 18:17

    While I can't comment on this particular mount, I have the Canon EF to MFT Viltrox myself and love it!

    A bit of a stretch saying "EOS camera to convert it to full frame for a small cost".

    It doesn't convert anything to full frame. It effectively reduces the focal length of your EF or EF-S lens (on a M series Canon body) to a shorter focal length mimicking the focal length you would see with a similar lens on a FF body - eg. a 20mm lens on a Canon APS-C body has the same field of view as a 32mm lens on a FF body, and using this would bring it back to around 23mm.

    It does not make the maximum aperture of the attached lens any bigger - laws of physics, but rather helps to counteract the "equivalence" factor that makes a f2.8 (for example) appear to be a smaller aperture on a APS-C than on a FF body.

    It does not obviously give you a FF sized sensor either.

    Basically it makes a lens seem a bit wider and faster (at the expense of adding glass, which often affects image quality), and not a great deal more. No magic FF conversion here - LOL.

    • dcep on 01/09/2019 - 21:22

      it still serves a purpose right ?

      • pizzaguy on 01/09/2019 - 23:28

        It serves the purpose as long as you realise the purpose.

        Looks like OP assumed people would get their simplification. I can imagine no layman would just fork out $134.47 believing a camera turns FF after applying this adapter.

    I can see that there are various opinions going on in the discussion. Just adding a quick review after a weeks usage, I am not a pro photographer and its just from my personal experience with Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 on my Canon EOS M50. Research properly before buying it.
    - A nice little thing to try out with your EOS camera, good build quality

    - Don't expect a real Full frame out of a $135 adapter hack, but nice to give it a try if you are not into professional photography
