Ever since the release of the Metabones Speed Booster, there has been a craving for more. But only recently has there been an uptake of focal reducer releases from other parties: Mitakon and Fotodiox. Now Kipon have teamed up with IB/E Optics (from Germany) and are entering the game with their Baveyes 0.7x focal reducer. The optical adapter is being released to mount Leica R, Canon EF and Nikon F-mount lenses on either a Sony NEX or Fuji X body.
Below I've posted the specifications and charts from Kipon. The focal reducer will hit the shelves on January 10th, 2014 for around 300 US Dollars. As of yet there hasn't been any mention of a Micro Four Thirds (M4/3) version.
UPDATE - The Kipon Baveyes is available through Amazon (as well as other sources)
