Stab Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Hi, I'm using a Panasonic GH3 and recently bought the 'new' Samyang primes. I got the 16mm, the 35mm and the 85mm. The 35mm and the 85mm work great on a el cheapo Fotga adapter from ebay. No problems there. But the 16mm is horribly soft in the corners. And with corners I mean everything but the center. After testing multiple copies, I found out today that it's the adapter causing this effect. When mounting it on a Novoflex adapter (€170) the image was fine, even wide open. The problem is that I think €170 is too much for an adapter, especially in these 'quiet' times when money is an object. Which adapter should I buy? I don't want no $10 Ebay adapters anymore. Also, I have tried a 'Kiwi' midrange adapter (€50) and it gave me the same problem on the 16mm. Also, it had a lot of play on both sides of the adapter. So, what about in-between brands like Kipon? Would that seal the deal? Or is high-end the only way to go here, as the 16mm turns out to be a 'picky' lens? What do you guys think?
