Sony A to E-mount Lens Turbo shipping.

[shoplink 21020 ebay][/shoplink]

The Metabones A to E-mount Speed Booster should come any time soon. But the Chinese company that makes the Lens Turbo was faster and is now already shipping their adapter internationally via [shoplink 21020 ebay]eBay (Click here)[/shoplink]. The Lens Turbo basically does the same job as the Speed Booster but it’s cheaper and also doesn’t deliver the same kind of image quality.

I guess you all already know what you gain by using these adapters along an A-mount Full Frame lens. You keep the Full Frame focal length and gain one stop aperture.
