Thanks for posting this. Newer members of the forum may not realise that the 16-50 has been rumoured for 2.5 years: November 2010 I am looking forward to seeing how this lens turns out. I agree...

Aha! A zombie thread brought back to life by it's creator. I like a good zombie...Hi Timmbits,A 'legacy' lens which has been designed for a bigger sensor (eg, 24x36, medium format etc) will not...

Nice one. I imagine the cup painted black inside got rid of unwanted light sources, reflections etc. as well as being a convenient stand. Did you initially try scanning without it? I've never used...

I've owned an MC TELE ROKKOR 1:2.8 f=135mm for about 19 years. Note that although it sounds like your lens, mine is a late MC version (4/4 design from 1975) whereas yours is an earlier model...

Thanks. I didn't realise that the geometry of the NX mount would mean that the Speed Booster may not be adapted to it. It is disappointing if this is the case.Geoff

I am interested in this adapter because I have a number of lenses designed for 24x36 in the same mount. Most of them are good and I can't mount them to a camera without some sort of adapter because...

Very interesting.
The main reason I got into mirrorless cameras was to have the option of using my Minolta SR mount lenses via an adapter. This 'Speed Booster' seems like it could improve the...

Hah! LOL.Be careful when making contact with the sensor so that you don't damage it.No problem.

I don't think you have understood the optics of this adapter. You need a lens designed for a bigger format than the sensor it is to be adapted to.

Dreams are good!

Nope, that is a very dirty sensor. It is especially apparent in the second and third shots. This type of repeating pattern means that your sensor has dust or similar on it. The size and appearance...

Nice pics. Well done. I like the first one the most overall, though I suppose the second one shows off the model's physique a little better and has a bit of a "looking through a door" feel. I don't...

Are you referring to RangeFinder or RetroFocus? Many people (including myself) enjoy using legacy glass on NX however your question is more specific of course. If you are talking about the incident...

Samsung did not copy the Sony NEX system. In fact the Samsung NX system was released some time before NEX and was the first mirrorless APS-C camera on the market.

Hi,I was hoping that someone would offer an idea or two. I am guessing that there are many owners of pancake lenses of various brands & mounts who would like some good options. I am interested in...

Hi.It looks like you increased the colour saturation - is that correct?It does not look like heavy-handed HDR. Have you improved on a single-shot picture? (ie. was HDR necessary?)What software do...

This one (above) is incorrect as you suspected. This would be valid thinking if you had a 50mm lens on a camera with a 24x36 sensor and asked yourself 'what focal length would I need on APS-C (NX)...
