Super Members Mattias Burling Posted March 4, 2016 Super Members Share Posted March 4, 2016 I became aware of this thing through this forum. So I guess Im kicking in wide open doors here. But I like it so I thought I show my results anyway. I got both the Nikon to E-Mount and NX. My first thought was, shortly the ND must be bad and soften the image. Well, compared to my proven Genus Eclipse its actually sharper... It has a shift towards yellow. But its so small that after grading its not visible anymore, even without correcting., Some moving images and review.

BrorSvensson Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Awesome tests and comparisions Mattias! It seems that it is the product i've been waiting for a long time, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercer Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Yeah it does!!! I have it in Nikon to m43 and it is an amazing product. I also am waiting on a used/mint ef to m43 from fotodiox clearance, so I can use it with every other lens mount I own. I like the product so much, I am probably going to hold off on a speedbooster for the time being. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonesy Jones Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 When Metabones makes one that is speedbooster and nd combo I'll be really excited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Members Mattias Burling Posted March 4, 2016 Author Super Members Share Posted March 4, 2016 And have you seen that they are releasing an Electronic EF version 2 minutes ago, Jonesy Jones said: When Metabones makes one that is speedbooster and nd combo I'll be really excited. Would be cool, but probably x5 the cost as well. If lucky. Thats one or the perks of using it on the NX1 and A7sii. The sensors are already large. No need to boost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tugela Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Normally I think it is a bad idea to add optical elements into the path between the lens and camera, but in this instance, if you never remove the adapter, it could be an effective method of keeping dust off the sensor. 4 minutes ago, Mattias Burling said: I know, just messing A thread isnt complete untill Tugela uses it for his/hers Canon Envy Rants You do realize that I own Canon cameras right?

Super Members Mattias Burling Posted March 5, 2016 Author Super Members Share Posted March 5, 2016 Oh, forgot to mention. The ND has hard stops for the safe zone. Thats something Ive always whished all NDs would have. DPStewart 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DPStewart Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 The Canon image is one that is very firm, not soft and flaccid. It is an image that can stand erect against the competition, maintaining its rigidity throughout the entire act of image gathering. When the other Cameras go limp and shrivel up, the Canon is virile and strong. Do I have this right?

Simon L Robinson Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 this is really brilliant to see, some of the early reviews really slated the ND Throttle for destroying resolution and introducing enough nictotine into the image to make it look like a Tony Scott film. This could be the answer to allowing me to use my lens hoods instead of needing a matte box on my GH4, it will certainly be the answer if I get a used A7S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raf702 Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 I saw a review by wolfcrow that was made a month or so ago. And mentioned several negatives that pushed me away from it. Also said it introduced unwanted flaring or halo I think. This current review seems a lot better! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Members Mattias Burling Posted March 5, 2016 Author Super Members Share Posted March 5, 2016 No iregular flaring on my end and I have infinity focus. As far as I saw he didnt have any other negatives than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would mean squeezing a LOT of glass into a very very small space! I somehow doubt if it will happen? But we can hope! ha :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrorSvensson Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Hey @Mattias Burling, im think about getting this adapter for both stills and video but there's no reviews out there on how the sharpness holds up for stills. Would be ever so kind of you if you could just do a couple of test stills with the adapter for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only have a 5Dmk3 and a Gm1 for digital stills. But I can sell the Sony version (or mft but I suspect its for the A7) to you for a good price, shipping included since you live close Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
