I am wondering how good 35/1.4 works with Viltrox. Is your 35L the original, not version 2? Thanks for sharing wonderful shots.

Thank you! Yes, my lens is the EF 35mm f/1.4L — the original, not the II. It works reasonably well with the Viltrox. The focusing is quick and the centre is sharp wide open. The corners of the frame are a little soft, as I have found the Viltrox to be with all my lenses.

The Viltrox does not seem to like f/1.2 primes, though. The AF hunts, never locks on, and the live view image brightness "twitches" continuously.

I've ordered the Metabones EF-M speed booster

That one is too expensive in my opinion.

and should have it by the end of the week. It's supposed to be sharper in the corners than the Viltrox, and I'm looking forward to the novelty of playing with an auto-focusing 35/0.9.

I love 50mm (equivalence)
