Re: D-Range Priority is the culprit

Hi Nielk Mike,

Thx. Interesting demonstration. I've done the same with my adapters - it's frightening how much light can be reflected off different "black" finishes. The internal blacking on the second example looks superior to the first - what brand of adapter is that please? I don't recognise the symbol on it.

Thx, Rod

That is -surprisingly - also a K&F adapter. But it is built more like the Novoflex and the coating is different from, say, Commlite, and it seems from their NIK/FX version, also.

After trying to fix my Commlites with paint and tape, I just threw them out. Infinity was also not where it was supposed to be.

An adapter that has stray light is worse when used with fast lenses wide open. As was the case here.
