    There's quite a few ways to go lightweight, but you didn't mention what sensor size you are going for :) The Aivascope that @heart0less linked you to is an awesome, single-focus 1.5x for fullframe.  It does not need a focusser, but imho it does need support, because it is rather heavy on the taking lens at around 700 gramms. But Aivascope also makes a smaller scope, for smaller sensors.

    Here's mine for instance : GH5 > speedbooster > Nikon 50mm 1.8 pancake > Aivascope 1.75x v2 > ProtoDNA. Quite lightweight, does without rails. (see attached picture)

    This gives me perfect 2.40:1 when desqueezing opengate 4:3.

    Then again when you go vintage scopes there is quite a lot of choice :

    • Baby Hypergonar (the 1.75x aivascope is a modern take on that one
    • Yashica Scope (a cute small 1.5x one, which i would double focus)
    • Bolex 8/19 (1.5x bolex flare goodness, one of my favorite baby scopes)
    • Baby Kowa (2x, even more elusive than the Bolex)

    So you can go for light and small scopes, especially if you stick to m43 or s35 sensor sizes ... but it might take a year or 2 to hunt some baby scopes down... and you better have deep pockets.

    @sekuDo you mind telling me where i can find this small adjustable clamp? 

  2. Aaaand it can be better. 

    It runs EOS firmware. Not a Powershot firmware like the EOS M5 and M6. 

    https://bitbucket.org/hudson/magic-lantern/commits/f6e763a002080605887dcc4a5c882b626fe97553

    If the last EOS M to run an EOS firmware (the first one) is now shooting RAW 2.5k with ML. I only can expect good things for this toy...

    Raw with this Dual Pixel focus would great in such a little camera. 

    Saddly the battery sucks.. Is there a battery grip? 

  3. You can't go wrong with Fujinon TV (c-mount) lenses. You can build a really nice matching set from 8mm to 75mm.

    All Fujinon Tv Cf will cover since they are for 1 inch sensor. I already have the 35,50 and 75. 

    The 12,5mm 1.4 will cover for sure. And you might experiment with 8mm or 9mm for smaller sensors. One should work. 

    All of my fujinon lenses are sharp even wide open. People used to compare them with the Zeiss Tevidon.

    So on the M5 the 24 1.4 L it is a fraction quicker than the 22 2.0 but the difference is very small and imo not relevant. Both are very usable.

    In general with DPAF the shorter the focal length is the more similar with phase detection DSLR AF speed is. For example the 24 1.4 there almost no difference between DPAF and phase detect but with the 200-400 f4 at 400 the difference is quite big.

    Naturally it is a big difference in FL 35 to 22 so not sure why you want to compare them but IMO the 22 2.0 is a little gem so small yet sharp. The AF is a bit noisier than classical USM lenses. In term of size there is really no contest: http://camerasize.com/compact/#684.349,684.368.2,ha,t. It is also half the price.

     

     

    I just wasn't expecting you to have a 22mm and the awesome 24mm. But gladly you have so the comparison was even fairer. Nice!
    So can i assume that the EF performance on a M body is almost like a native lens? Make things easier to build a set!
    Maybe soon we will see some (good, please) Speedboosters popping to make things even better.

    That looks pretty darn epic @kidzrevil!

    Me on the other hand is at home celebrating midsummer instead of shooting the streets.
    But I did adjust one of my Minolta lenses that had trouble reaching infinity, and thought it could be nice to document incase others get the same issue in the future.

     

    Just spent the last 30 min (or more) in your channel, Mattias! Just really really great videos! Thank you!!

    22mm native is not fast but I find usable, the big advantage of this lens is that it is super tiny so I can even keep it in the pockets and it is quite sharp.
    I don't have the 35 f2.... but if you want I can compare the 22mm native with the adapted EF 24 1.4 II L?

    That would be great! Many thanks!

    I have an M5 and is my travel camera mostly for photos because my 1dx and 1dx II are too big for that. I had a M before but the M5 it is much better.

    I also use the M5 as remote camera or as wide angle second body for some stuff that I cover.

    I have only the 11-22 and the 22 2.0 for the rest I use my EF collection.

     

    Regarding video I have used only a couple of time a C camera and it is just ok very similar to the 80D, classical canon 1080p

     

    For photos:

    The good:

    + photo quality, it is good with good DR finally at 100-400 ISO. Classical Canon sensor so I process the Raws as I do with the one for 1Dx. M5 more noisy but to be expected

    + ergonomics

    + touch screen

    + touch screen even when off can be used to change focus point while looking in to EVF, very handy

    + remote port

    + 7/9 fps

    + DPAF very accurate and works even low light. Fast but not blazingly fast.

    + size

    + 11-22 is very very good with IS and tiny and quite affordable. This is why I use it a lot as a second body for wide-angle shoots.

    + 22 2.0 is also very good and super tiny and cheap. A bit slow on the AF side but still usable

    + adapter works well and most EF lens AF work well and quite fast. I have used quite a bit the 24 1.4 and 50 1.2 on it and with great success. I also use the 8-15 fisheye on it quite often

    + wifi

    The bad:

    - small buffer in RAW

    - takes a lot of time to clear the buffer

    - much slower than the 1dx in operations like picture review, etc…

    - EVF is not great but I hate EVF so maybe I’m not the right guy to comment on it

    - no live view while taking burst. A no go for action/sport

    - no fully silent mode (fully electronic shutter). Why why and one more time why?!?

     

    For video:

    + DPAF very similar to the 1DXII

    + 60fps same quality as 30fps

    + canon colors

    - no 4k

    - classical soft canon 1080

    - less bitrate than the 80D

     

    I would not recommend it as primary camera for video there are better choice in the price range.

    Where it shines is a travel, backup and eventually B/C camera for canon user thanks to the tiny size but full support including good AF with the EF lens. If my primary system would not be a canon I would not have brought the M5 but for my need is quite good. Of course if it would have had 4k 30p even only at 4:2:0 100 mbits would have been much better for video.

    Hey! Do you mind teIling me which lens has the the faster AF performance? A 22mm native or a 35mm f2 ef adapted?

    Great info and beautiful images, thanks! 

    I didn't know about the small buffer in RAW. So even if hacked, it's not going to be that good for RAW video? That's sad. 

    I use my Eos M1 with c-mount lenses and it produces beautiful videos in RAW. 

  9. Wow man... Panasonic should hire you! 

    You just unlocked a world of colors for these cameras! 

    Would be possible to create a color profile to match Andrew's Eoshd C-log for ALL Canon cameras (it's not a real log profile soo..) ? 

    How cool would be have a Red and a Canon color profiles to easily match cameras? 

     

  10. If the M5/M6 are just mirrorless 80Ds, the hardware is awesome for RAW video. But for now we don't have a Magic Lantern port for these cameras... (different system, more like point and shoot Canons). 

    As is... Even 1080p is poorly implemented by Canon. ?

    2048*1536 is actually closer to 3K. Would stretch nicely to 4k anamorphic. The bitrate and IQ is not great however from the very few reviews I've seen. I'd like to be wrong on that though :)

    Yeah... For sure. 

    But you don't have a m4/3 camera with a Sony sensor,  4:3 aspect ratio,  good 2k resolution, good colors for that price ($450 with kit lens). I think it could be a fun camera B (or even C!). And i still think a hack would be possible...

    People still listen to Max Yurev ? lol check the 3D performance of a windows based laptop vs a mac.Its night and day. You are just paying for the brand name when it comes to apple and a cool UI you are not paying for performance

    Wow... harsh words. I really like Max's videos. One bad advice doesn't make his channel worthless..
    The guy seems to have good intentions.
    Ps: And i enjoy your videos too... especially for the color grading part. Take care!

    The numbers just dont make far east manufacture an option i'm afraid. And i have gone to far too much effort creating the masters for some factory to run off another 200-500 units and sell them themselves - I have been involved in developing products for prestige companies who have had this happen. I don't want my name to be associated with a knock off 'quick buck' product from china - which can happen if the masters get into the wrong hands. Seeing as I'm not doing this for the money so I don't want anyone like that profiteering from my efforts. An underwater housing of similar complexity would cost you around 1000-1500£, and they make a few hundred of these units. The company can afford to deal in china because they have a stake in the factory, and control direct with a western 'line manager' keeping everyone in check.

    Hey Rich,

    Just wanted to know if it's possible to create something similar for the a6300/a6500.
    The overheating issue is the only let down in these cameras.
    Thanks.
