Holy moly! I didn't realise you could do this!

Been a bit bogged down lately with various stuff so haven't had much time to go out and take many photos. A7iii with Techart Pro @ f2.8 I was playing around on the train with the Jupiter-9 in Kiev ...

I've tried a Super Tak 50/1.4 and a Yashica ML 50/1.4 with it, and Eye-AF tracks well. My normal 50mm lens is the CY 50/1.7 and it's on the camera 90% of the time. I've tried a Minolta MC 100/2.5, ...

I’m going to borrow a colleague’s Canon 5D and bring it up with me to the showroom as part of a disguise.....hope to get my hands on their complete EF range and mark off their performance. On a ...

Yes it does, no loss of function whatsoever.

For the A7iii, Eye-AF already worked with the Techart Pro before the update.

That’s a different thing altogether. Anamorfake is putting a eliptical aperture into the lens, so that the light is squeezed from the top and bottom of the frame to resemble an anamorphic lens.

When you open the downloaded file you will see an app and the Resources folder. Open the folder and you will see another app, this is the app you need to run. Just plug in the camera and it will ...

a lot of times this is done via reversing the front element.

Is it me or do you find that AF is now slightly faster and snappier with the MC-11? I tried it with my 70-200mm f4 L, and even in not ideal lighting, everything was a bit quicker.

The only time I've come across this is with the use of a fishing line strung across the optics inside the lens. You can even tape the line on a filter in front of the lens: cheap-diy-anamorphic-len ...

Effortlessly updated with High Sierra

Yes you're right, its so easy to assume that Adapted Lens Forum automatically means vintage MF lenses. As for the first question, its a toss up between the A7iii and A9 for adapted EF lenses, ...

On its own, then yes, the A9 is an overkill, but users of the A9 uses it more on a professional basis so would probably use MF lenses much less. Also, these A9 users probably has a 3rd gen A7 ...

I have never used a teleconverter, but the option to use a Contax Mutar I does appeal to me, as it would mean I can carry around less lenses when I'm away on a break. Having the option of x2 focal ...

From my understand of Russian lenses, the first 2 digits of the serial number denotes the year of manufacture, so in your case that would be 1984.

Here in HK, where the A7iii has been readily available from official channels since launch and is still is, saw a price dip for the A7ii when the newer generation was first released for about 2-3 ...

I started out adapting lens with my A7ii, but I yearned for a better battery life. So when the A7iii was released, I had about 2 days playing with one and I was hooked. The initial idea was to ...

Until I read this, I didn't think of how to find out the year of manufacture or version of my copy.....1956!
