Kipon Baveyes EF-MFT AF Help

Hi guys.

I just received the Kipon Baveyes EF-MFT AF Adapter and I did a firmware upgrade on it, it was a 2.7 and I had mistakenly clicked update on the firmware updating software and it has downgraded it to V2.6. My issue is that now the adapter isn't working. I did the update because it refused to drop an F-Stop and I thought new firmware would help. Is there a way to get V2.7 as Kipon has nothing on their website. Please help!!!! I'm using a Panasonic GH4 with a Canon 24-105 F4 L.

-For the firmware version try to contact them using their contact email from their site. The latest listed on their site seems to be v2.6 .

Has the issue been resolved?

I am also tired of this problem.

Could you tell me how?

there is a v2.9 firmware available.  Hopefully that fixed your problems

Kipon keep their promisses
1

I must say one thing: Kipon are keeping their promises.

6 months ago I have written them an email, thank them for the product and asking them nicely if they could add support for Sigma 150mm F/2.8 (old version without OS). With v2.6 firmware the screen of my E-M1 turn to black with this lens.

They responded to me telling me they will try to add support for it in firmware V2.9.

One week ago I have written V2.9 firmware to my adapter. And guess what ... Sigma 150mm F/2.8 it's now supported. So they even add support for discontinued lenses if their clients ask them.
