DANGER: Viltrox EF-M2ii (Canon-mount) speed booster has ruined my camera (the Panasonic GX85)

PODCAST (the long story):

NOTES:
Below, I used to recommend “going manual” and switching from the electronic Canon mount to the manual aperture/focus Nikon version. THEN, I dropped my Panasonic G85 with the Viltrox NF-M43x (Nikon version) on, and BECAUSE OF THE IBIS, the sensor moved, impacted the rear optic of the Viltrox focal reducer, and SCRATCHED the sensor. Now, I’m not sure I even recommend the NIKON mount version (link to the whole story in the podcast above).

NOTES (ORIGINAL):
While I DO use (and highly recommend) the all-manual Nikon-mount version of the Viltrox Micro Four Thirds focal reducer (the NF-M43x) it appears the electronic version has ruined my Panasonic GX85 (it’s been glitching on the screen when I try to use AF after using it with a Canon-mount Sigma 17-50 2.8 EX). Other people are reporting problems with this adapter as well…

from my understanding a hard reset would mean to completely power reset the camera

you need to take the battery out and leave it out for 30 seconds. then you need to push the on off button a few times to force it to start without battery draining every last bit of juice from it

you put the battery back and you should be good to go

this + a factory reset and firmware update as well

Man, I’m very sorry that your camera broke with this adapter, but thanks to you, I’m no longer going to buy this adapter and try Canon lenses on my gh5. I'd rather stick with Panasonic Olympus and Sigma lenses that are certified for use in the micro, 4/3 system.

Did you repair your camera?

I plan to get this speed booster with a fully manual mechanical lens (aperture included). Would you say its best to cover the electric connecter on the speed booster?
