Hi - I am hoping that the collective MFT forum may have some ideas for me.
I recently purchased a G9 (running v1.3 firmware) with the intent that I could use the same Speedbooster I had been happily using on my G7, in order to mount my Canon EF glass.
To my dismay, the G9 gives me the "...lens not attached properly. Do not press the release button..." error every time I try to mount it - does not matter if it is SB alone, or with the lens attached, camera off or camera powered on.
The SB is running the latest firmware (v3.31), though I have tried back-revving it all the way down to v2.70, all to no avail.
I have looked closely at the menus on the G9, and I do not see a "Shoot with no lens" option any more. Am I missing one or more settings which play a role in working with an adapted lens?
Thank you in advance for your thoughts!!! This message will also be posted in the Adapted Lens forum...
-Regards...

It should be plug and play without needing to change any settings at all. All recent Panasonic cameras do not have the "shoot without lens" menu option as they all (including the S1 line) will automatically allow you to shoot without a lens when lens contacts aren't detected (that setting is more for manual lenses and adapters without contacts).
It will come down to metabones releasing a firmware update to make it work the G9 @ 1.03.
Surprisingly there are others who had issues with the G9 and metabones and quite a few more people who specifically use viltrox only. Hopefully you come up with a solution... good luck!
Is this a general v1.3 firmware issue with the G9? My G9 works perfectly with Metabones and Viltrox adapters at v1.2 firmware. Viltrox has a few lens compatibility issues that are not related to mounting the lenses.

The Fujifilm X-T5 is the company's latest classically-styled APS-C mirrorless camera. It gains the 40MP sensor and AF system from the X-H2 but in a body with a more stills-focused slant. We've been putting it through its paces.
We're Noct messing around with this review.
Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom impress in a lot of ways, but their noise reduction lags the competition and their lens corrections lack a real-world basis. DxO PureRAW 3 aims to come to their rescue without totally reinventing your workflow!
The Sony ZV-E1 is the company's latest vlogging-focused camera: a full-frame mirrorless camera based the FX3/a7S III sensor, aimed at YouTubers and 'creators' looking to go pro.
