Fascinating interview with a very switched on guy.Particularly interesting views on how creative people think differently and are not deterred . -
I've used both the dumb adapter and the electronic one on a bunch of Lumix bodies and I basically rely on them. Most of my lenses are EF or EF converted. As you would expect they are super useful. I do run and gun doc, so these are lifesavers. I love being able to fine tune exposure while leaving my aperture and ISO where I want it. The actual physical control of these is very smooth. There's a bit of a vignette at max ND. They are not super well-built. After a few years with these adapters, two smart adapters have failed on their own after developing intermittent connection issues. Sometimes cleaning electronic contacts with rubbing alcohol has helped extend the life of my adapters. Still, the cameras lose connection to the lens and stop recording randomly when this happens, so its really not a reliable system when your adapter starts to give out. Generally, I prefer the dumb adapter for this reason - I've used it a lot and had no connection issues. Also, on a recent shoot, my camera got smacked against something and the adapter was the fail point - breaking clean in half. So I saw inside the adapter, and the length of screws connecting the two sides of it did not inspire a great deal of confidence. Compared to something like the Meike adapter with drop in filters, my experience is these are not robustly built - they don't feel solid or co-operate with some heavier lenses like a canon 100-400. But with all those caveats, these things rule and make shooting easier. Especially the dumb adapter, for manual primes. I love Fotodiox for making cheap adapters to fill gaps in all sorts of workflows and I think that's exactly what this is - cheap gear that doesn't last forever. I do wish the electronic adapter was more reliable. -

why don't you just go for the Techart TZM-02 & it should take most of your vintage primes so long as they are under 500gms ??? yep I have looked at that -the focus speed is still relatively slow ,the outlay is Aus $500 and here is two guys the adapter failed within 12 months ! Due to the country it is made the chances of having them repaired is slimmer than a M42 to Z mount adapter. -

Going to the movies has also had a massive decline ,I went to see F1 about a week after it opened and there was only seven people in the theatre !! Compare that to "Jaws" in 1975 and it was chock a block full and everyone reacted when the head fell out of the hole in the boat ! As i understand it Reading theatres own their Multiplexes so would be sitting on huge real estate gains but must be operating the theatres at a loss -
Yes. It’s been tough for people in the industry. I’ve been dealing with some issues myself since August of last year. I’ve re structured and started doing more personal projects with the hopes of building out a niche that will be worthwhile. Godspeed to all those experiencing this hardship.
