Supposed to control only aperture, as I understand.

Of course, photo is of some prototype, as you can't use such adapter in real life.
anybody can give some updates on this? I have been looking for cheaper alternatives to Metabones (not speedbooster) but cannot find a reliable answer. It would be so nice to have Lens Turbo II with IS-Aperture Control on a M43 body...
Lol @kurth I'm sure we'll see a proper review, many are interested in using their EF lenses, including me :)
this looks cool....if I could just understand the guy !
This looks interesting, although still cumbersome
@Vitaliy_Kiselev It appears, that each of the attempts to build an electronic support for a third-party lenses ends up in the struggle with the patents and/or expensive licenses. I am wondering why nobody came with an idea to make connection from the lenses mounted to a MFT camera with a modified CanonEOS-lens-adapter (+MFT-camera for shooting) and modified Canon-lens-cap (+Canon camera for the electronic lens control in manual mode: iris, etc.), something like on the image shown below? :-)
I use this one for Nikon lenses:
I hope that guys who produce NEX-EOS adapter make one available for cheap.
"Indeed we developed electronic adapters for Canon EF lens on mirror less cameras, but there have big patent risk ,we are >famous manufacture ,so we stopped to make a production ,pls understand. You can buy from internet, some guys are selling electronic adapter, they are personal behavior."
Well, there is the Redrock Micro LiveLens ESO->MFT lens adapter with an external iris control ( http://www.personal-view.com/talks/discussion/1009/redrock-livelens-mft-adapter-for-canon-lenses ) or adapters with its own built-in diaphragm, such as one by Kipon ( http://www.personal-view.com/talks/discussion/758/m43-to-eos-adapter-with-diaphragm-by-kipon ). However, none of these would provide electronic contacts to the camera, power the lens image stabilization, or provide the electronic follow focus capabilities (not to mention the AF).
at least we can finall use a Tokina 11-16 with aperture control on m4/3
I can suggest much simpler approach - get Nikon version and Nikon G adapter :-)
