Can’t decide on one of these gimbals and hoping someone has first hand experience with them. Mostly I use relatively lightweight or old vintage lenses for video, but on the off occasion (especially ...

Got it, was hoping there was more update notes.

Do you have a link to v7? I can’t seem to find it on their website.

Did you open the lens via the front or the rear? Opening it via the mount is much easier and will not affect the focusing helicoid. On the stuck aperture problem, have a search on this forum for ...

I normally use an A7iii, and for a long while have had an itch to get something smaller (previously owned an A7ii). After months of deciding what camera to get, I ended up with an second hand X-E3. ...

Just received a lens purchased on eBay from Japan a few days ago. From what I can gather, most of the sellers in Japan now are using a more expensive service (in my case DHL) for shipping. I’m ...

There’s noise and it’s definite comparable to that of the Techart.

Really? I love my Takumar 28/3.5, aside from the Helios 44-2, it was my 1st foray into vintage lenses, and aside from some distortion which Lightroom has profile to correct, I find the IQ very ...

Gotcha, so just SMC Pentax.

Oh, not me, just what I’ve read on the internet. One particulate example is the Pentax K 50/1.4 that gets mentioned a lot, jet it’s other versions not so much. I own a Takumar Super-Multi-Coated ...

So I get that Pentax K lenses are older than Pentax M, are bigger, and more sort after as they tend to be very so slightly optically better. But that’s as far as my knowledge goes. What I would to ...

I was in a similar boat about a year ago for my A7iii. I previous had the Samyang MF 85/1.4 but I sold it to a colleague and then regretted it. At the time I also had a Jupiter-9 85/2.0 and even ...

JPEG SOOC @ f1.4 Only stumbled on build film emulation recipes, and this casual shot was one of the better ones.

Good news, its actually an easy fix, unless you accidentally misalign and/or loosen the aperture blades. At 2:52 in my video above you'll see me rotating the silver ring within the aperture ...

Yeah, I got he XF18/2 the other day, small enough for a travel 'in the pocket' package. The XF27/2.8 I'm going to hold off on it, just to give my existing 28mm lenses a bit more of a go to. On a ...

This. OP is better off investing in a cheap second hand mirrorless camera, both in terms of time and money. GAS will take over eventually, it always does to a certain degree, and lenses in other ...

SOOC with Acros (red filter) emulation: @f2.8

Considering that Techart already released the E to Z adapter, it wasn't going to be long before they released this. I have no problems at all with their adapter for Sony E, no 'droop' at all after ...

One of my main reasons for getting a smaller and lighter camera is to not have to carry so much around, carry another body and lens combo would defeat the purpose for me. I had a look at your ...

If you search for a seller called RAFcamera on eBay, you'll find clamps. For mine, I just happen to jam into the helicoid very snuggly, didn't have to clamp or glue it.
