Okay... What's a MetaBones speed booster? Very quickly: it's an adapter with an optical element that goes on your lens (between the lens and the camera) that makes the lens wider, faster, and (get this) sharper.
No way? Impossible? That's what I thought (and still do, a little).
Here's the tech rundown on Philip Bloom's site.
Here's the short shot using the adapter. The film is by James Miller. Here's his Vimeo link. If you're not interested in wonky photo gear the film is still worth watching. Very nice.
