Thanks Moose for saving me the explanation, what it means is though that
I can use my ultrawides on the XT-1 camera as if it were full frame
gaining a stop in the process. Which means I no longer need to hold onto
my canyon gear and sell it to recover some of the costs of moving to Fuji.
What I haven't researched or thought about yet is what the speedbooster
does to the depth of field.

What is the effective focal length and speed of the combo?
"Mounted between a mirrorless camera and a SLR lens, Speed Booster®
increases maximum aperture by 1 stop (hence its name), increases MTF
and makes lens wider by a factor of 0.71x."
Thus, 500/8 becomes 355/5.6. FOV eq. depends on the sensor size With a
1.5x APS-C sensor, it goes back up to ~532 mm eq. The Speedbooster
becomes just that, increasing speed by one stop, while leaving FOV
essentially the same.
So What Moose
