😁 Well, well, this certainly was a long read that took quite a few days.... I have to say it was quite a ride to read. 

In my case, still using my NX cameras but pretty stock, it was until last month that I found that there were "hacks" for both the NX1 and NX500 and decided to get up to speed and do some shooting.

Sadly, I have not been able to find much around. The old NXKS2 hack is nowhere to be found (can someone share it?) I'd like to experiment with that before trying Vasile's method. 

It seems I lost the boat on accessories like cages, or adapters like the NXL that sadly are not popping up in an amazon or eBay search or anywhere.  It was strange as well to see that many of the comparison videos linked here were taken down in one way or another. 

I still feel very happy with my NX lineup in 2023. I wonder how it compares to whatever others had upgraded in the past years as I still feel it can hold up for a while - in my humble stock mode-. Now I'm anxious to try the hacks from 2016 🙂 

 

this one?

ISCORAMA 36, with the bigger rear element (36-38mm), like Iscorama Cinegon + Cinelux AV 90mm. Read!

PRICE: € 2.500

STRETCH: 1.42x (1.5x)

FOCUS: Single focus

CONDITION: Very good condition, very smooth focussing. Glass is very clean, no scratches, no separation. Focussing is very smooth.

There is a little fungus on the back lens (see photos), but might be beaten with UV lamp (I have no experience with that)

With standard plastic front cap.

PAYMENT METHOD: PayPal

Hi Nathan, there are three simular screws on the back of the lens. Loosen them a bit untill you can turn the focus ring of the lens a bit more to infinity (1cm or so). Then fasten the 3 screws again. After they are fastened again, you can turn the lens to infinity. That's it... mosty 😉 

That Iscomorphot! I love it! 

Great lens @Rhood. I have the same, single coated version. Check this link with more information: 

new one, I love this lens! 

Filmed on my Z-Cam S6 with Leica M 50mm f1.4 - almost every shot wide open.

Love this lens 😉

This summer I filmed during a photoshoot for my work. Shot all wide open with my taking lens Leica M 50mm f1.4 version II. Filmed with the Z-Cam S6.

I have the X-T4 for photographing and I bought recently a Z-Cam E2S6 for anamorphic filming. Fuji has to improve X-H2 for use anamorphic lenses. Open gate sensor and better IBIS. 

Shot at the first day of our Winter in The Netherlands. 

still a good camera!

Samsung left camerabusiness because they moved to mobile phones with cameras. Now Huawei is the big winner 😉

@keessie65 there I was contemplating selling my beloved Bolex 16/32/1.5x last night, chanced upon this thread, started having another play with my GX8 and 20/1.7 and now resolute I’m going to use it more and about to pull the trigger on the single focus add on 😃

I love how compact this thing is on the GX8 with pancake.

Also figured out how to get this to work in stills mode by using the Penny EXTC mode in Medium at 8MP, which gives an extra 1.3x crop on the already 2x crop.

Took a quick snap before. Works on my Voigtlander 25/0.95 too 😍

Love this anamorphic. Think they may need to bury me with it.

Cheers for the inspiration pal 🙂

 

You did the best.

It's the best 1.5x lens, edge to edge sharp. Enjoy shooting and keep us informed with nice posts.

Bolex at the beach 😉 

NX1 still on the list 😉

Very clean is the Contax G 45mm f2.0. But you need to rehouse the lens to Leica M for better focussing.

Ah! that is the case when you leave your trustworthy NX1, you change a camera every year!

I went the middle way, bought a P4K, and still using the good ol'NX cameras!

Have you sold all your NX equipement, then? 

What do you think in general NX1 vs X-T3 and now the X-T4?

I have sold all my NX1 gear. I love new things, but to be honest; NX1 has a way better grip and I liked that camera a lot. I hacked my NX1 and that improved quality, but the dynamic range had also his limitations, especially on skintones at sunny days (whitening out). I use my camera mostly for filming with vintage and anamorphic lenses. Sometimes I use the camera professional photos for a magazine. X-T4 has a bigger battery and IBIS. Also the smart switch between photo and film is a big plus. I think when X-H2 comes out, I switch again, but then I will keep my X-T4 for photographing.

@keessie65 lovely vacation and footage. camera still looking impressive too! Unterhofalm looking beautiful.

Thank you! I now switched from NX1 to X-T3 to X-T4. 

could this be true? It seems a post from june 2020; https://www.xiaomist.com/2020/06/how-to-abandon-photography-department.html

Now on my X-T4, with Bleach Bypass directly from camera. 

quote from your blog;

"What is interesting about this is where will Fuji draw the line? Will the X-T4 get it? Will it be internally recorded on the GFX 100 to high-speed UHS-II SD card? I doubt it, but we can dream".

Probably the best dream after the rumor of Samsung NX-2

Fingers crossed. Let dream come tru!

NIce to read about the Bolex Moller! One of my favourite is his bigger brother 16/32/1.5x. Love to see some footage 😉

Ok let's not flood yet another thread with dodgy YouTube tests

waiting for yours of course 😉

Probably the best test;

hmmm...

I do not know if the guy on the left is the same. Settings of the X-T4 are not OK, not sharp at all.
