Having got my 1st projector lens last week (the Pentacon AV 80/2.8), managed to adapt this without the sweating that I thought I'd encounter. All I used was the rafcamera M42 lens clamp > M42 ...

Not criticising, but an honest question: can anyone else see horizontal banding in the middle bottom in the dark area? Sometimes I see it, sometimes I don't....I'm not too sure if its my eyes, my ...

Yeah, with me A7ii that’s when I started exploring the dummy battery option, otherwise I had to carry at least 5 batteries around when videoing.

A7ii 24-70GM 55/1.8 28/2 Samyang 85/1.4 A7iii Canon EF 70-200/4 Amongst all that came a Techart Pro adapter, and then a load of vintage lenses.

I like the 2nd photo the most. If the front tower was slightly sharper and you get someone to tow away the car, the image would be very ‘miniature’-like with its rendering and DOF.

Opps, wrong forum...........

I've been gifted one of these lens and it should arrive at the end of the week. The downside  is that there is some light fungus at the edges of the front element, and some minor dust which I want ...

EyeAF only started to work for me with the A7iii and the Techart Pro, didn't work with my A7ii. Never heard of the Pronto (is that the Fotodioux copycat version), but the Techart Pro relies on ...

The 1st EF to NEX adapter I got could not fit on the A7ii, so I took it back and the shop sought of knew of the issue as there’s an ever so slight difference of the mount between the A7 and A7ii, ...

For $799 I’d pick up a good condition second hand A7ii (body only), and if you shop around a bit, there are quite a few people getting rid of their A7ii to jump on the new A7iii.

Thanks! Took me a little while to get in the right position for the right angle. So tonight I thought I'd experiment a bit more with the Pentacon AV 85/2.8,  and maybe get a rough idea on its ...

My first projector lens arrived today, a Pentacon AV 85/2.8, but discovered that I had gotten a lens clamp which was too big (Rafcamera 47mm to 42mm) and had to rummage through the house to ...

Not all markets has a goods return policy.

Thank you for this, I never looked at reversing a lens for macro and I have the exact lens which you mentioned (Tak 28/3.5). Picked up a dead cheap reverse adapter for it today for less than ...

We have Sony stores and outlets here in Hong Kong that display all their products, and you can purchase them there and then. I just popped into one earlier on, they had all the newer models in ...

I thought that was the case a few months back, but have been through 4 different brands of adapters (K&F, Kipon, unbranded, Pixco), I’m afraid that’s not the case.

Booooo.....and here was me hoping it would be a flat 'pancake' style lens..... :(

I'm probably going to get flamed for this..... Personally, I've found Minolta MC/MD lenses a big disappointment. I've test about a dozen or so Minolta MC/MD primes, and they were 'decent' at best. ...

That’s the one! Many thanks!

Oh, don't get me wrong, I would still want a CY 45/2.8, it's just not high up in the priorities anymore. Mounting it on the A7ii/A7iii sorts of defeats the object of it being so 'flat' due to the ...
