As it is, this doesn't seem that attractive for M43 as it would only really work as intended for lenses designed for DX or APS format sensors.

And there are a lot of those, mostly preserving classic FF FOVs and with faster equivalent apertures than we have on native m43 lenses... for less money.

It's a good point; and you're right that I overlooked how many viable lenses there are.

It would still be interesting if they made a x0.5 converter especially for M43 (and CX?), but someone mentioned that Olympus had patented something similar, and perhaps the "one beautiful system" will end up as a camera accepting M43 lenses without an adapter, full 43 lenses with an adapter with a electronic LCD mirror, and finally the old film lenses with a "booster" adapter. ...But that's hypothetical while the Speed Booster is real.
