ADAPTER vs SPEED BOOSTERS and Crop Factor EXPLAINED

There is so much confusion surrounding Speed Boosters and Adapters. I get asked every day about the differences, which one is better, and which you should use for different situations. In this video I’ll explain what adapters are and how they are used. I’ll then discuss Crop Factor, Focal Length and Aperture and dispel 2 myths that are everywhere on the web!

I really hope you find this discussion helpful and I apologize for the math in advance 😂🤣

What's up everyone?! I hope this EXPLAINED video about adapters, speed boosters and crop factor was helpful. Did I cover what you wanted to know? What else did you want to see or learn about.

Would love to know what you think. Which do you plan on using, or are already using and with what lenses.I am grateful in advance 🙏

Every other youtuber explaination: "Speed Boosters pretty much work like magic"
Sagi: "Let's dive into the pythagorean theorem"

This is a legendary level of nerdy😍🔥 love it tho! An Interesting yet a confusing topic, thanks for sharing the knowledge

[blackjaac]

Finally! Contrary to other channels You explained everything without "sensor war" bias. Without omitting certain details to suit agenda. Very informative and on point. Kudos to You. Your channel became my favourite regarding photography gear. Keep it coming. Thank You. :)

This has to be the best explanation of F-stop, Focal length and how they work together with a camera with or without an adapter. Thank you!! This was awesome and I haven't even gotten to the actual adapter vs speed booster part. lol. Well done man!

[baldeagle]

I'm not sure how this video relates to cameras but after watching this I was able to ace my geometry test!

[ihcrenrut]

I love the depth of explanation here. Brilliance my friend! 🙌🏾

[Pen_Franklin]

I just discovered your channel about a week ago. Everything I've watched so far has been immensely helpful. Your presentations are clear, concise, and informative. Thanks for the education!

[stevewages]

I studied technical photography at RIT and we were DORKS! And yet I never knew the math behind F-stops. Your explanation makes total sense.

Your videos are great! Thanks!

[shanewaterman]

Superb tutorial. Other platitudes are available! Seriously, that's probably the best explanation I've seen anywhere. Been taking images for almost 50 years and you've impressed me! Thank you.

[MatinAmerica]

I’m so glad that this can all be explained but I still have a hard time understanding. That was a lot of math. Great job. There are some amazing folks creating all of these advancements. So cool.

[workandfamily]

Best explanation video on the difference between adapters and speed boosters yet!

[tahkuu]

Hey, Man! I was really confused about this topic and you just made a video! KEEP THE CONTENT COMING

[rvdxpress]

This is why I love you channel and content so much. You don’t try taking subjective matters and making them objective: you just lay out the facts in an easy to understand way so we, the viewer, can make informed decisions.

[mehuldalmia]

I knew all of this, through what I must say was quite an extensive research, reading articles, watching multiple videos and linking it all. This video is probably the only which explains it all together in a simple manner! Really great work!

[JacobMcCormick]

The only thing I don't understand about the videos Sagi makes, are the dislikes. Seriously people, what on earth do you dislike about his content? This quickly became my go-to tech video channel. Thank you so much Sagi!

[Ammez]

I stopped the video to say thank you. Honestly your tech videos are very inspirational and informative. Your channel is by far the only channel I jump to view nowadays. Thanks!

[raginic]

I sure have to say...you are a FANTASTIC teacher. Obviously you learned well, when you needed to. Thorough knowledge on the subject. Thorough command over the language. No faltering or fumbling between sentences....consistently. Your lungs, God bless, are great, you hold your breath modulation perfectly. Above the rest, the video-editing is so cut-to-the-edge. Can't find a point to negate, except that the Pythogarous eguation...well you are not at fault, on that. Math was not my forte. But you made me understand the APSC sensor better. Boy, so much learning, I will again and again visit this video to get my fundas clear. Kudo1 Many thanks.

[artsyputsy]

I can’t believe I just watch the whole entire video with all those numbers in it. And somehow kinda understand all of them in one go. You’re so good at explaining things!

[russjam]

Wow. I'm actually now understanding it the 2nd time around. The 1st time I watched this a few months ago I got dizzy (ziggy) ... Lol. But it actually sank in now since I'm now about to buy my M50.
Thanks much. Your effort wasn't in vain.
