Pssst, look into this Viltrox speedbooster. Just as good, but way cheaper. Ebay has it even cheaper if you're willing to wait.
Thanks for the advice - I'm in a similar situation as OP.
I just heard about the Viltrox speedbooster as a comparable yet inexpensive alternative to the metabones. Do you have any thoughts on it? I know a big part of the M43 form factor is, well, the size, but do you think it would be suitable for those who may want to expand their inventory of lenses to other mounts?

I haven't owned them, but [Tommy Callaway] (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBgTfrT490nBiogh6MKm0gw) did a [shootout] (https://youtu.be/R9fiqS6Rc_Y) between the two a couple of months ago, and IMHO the [$228 Viltrox] (https://www.amazon.com/Viltrox-EF-M2-Adapter-Thirds-Camera/dp/B079M4W8MQ//ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=ll1&tag=battleforthew-20) beat the [$649.95 Metabones] (https://www.amazon.com/Metabones-Full-Frame-Thirds-Mount-MB_SPEF-M43-BT4-Accessory/dp/B016P0ZZLC//ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=ll1&tag=battleforthew-20).
Take a look at B&H or Amazon if you want to buy new. There's also a pretty large secondary market for Gh4's on Craigslist, which I am always a fan of.
Speedbooster wise, for Canon lenses, at the moment you pretty much have two options for canon lenses: This guy or this guy
Welcome to the club! It's gonna be great.
The Viltrox EF-M2 will support autofocus, even though you don't necessarily need it all the time. It's nice to have if you choose to use EF lenses. I would go with that for the price savings. If you strictly used manual lenses, they have an older version that was cheaper, but it had some reliability and compatibility issues with the electronics.
