While it might only be a novelty, if Metabones released an EF to EFM speedbooster for their usual $699, I would buy it. A lot of money for a novelty, but I see lenses we already have, for example:

50mm F1.2 acting like a 50mm F0.8. Talk about a low light king!

85mm F1.8 as an 85mm F1.2

100mm F2.8 macro being a 100mm F2.0 macro

35mm F2 is a 35mm F1.4

70-200 F2.8 looking like 70-200 F2.0

14mm F2.8 looking like 14mm F2.0

500mm F4 looking like a 500mm F2.8

In practical terms, it wouldn't mean much, but it sure would be fun! I might switch to nothing but night photography!

or you could have a FF body and click the ISO up 1 stop and get the same result

There is no argument for FF vs APS-c (or m43) with shallow DOF..as it's a law of physics and a very subjective personal thing if you want to make use of the shallow DOF only FF can offer
