IronFilm Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Sadly my Pentax 645 lenses won't work on it :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinegain Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 If I'm going Hasselblad, I'm going all in! X1D. Leica S video looked pretty sweet too. They should throw those in if I rent a bunch of lenses for a fashion studio shoot with the A7RII. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikkor Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 I want to see the quality first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinegain Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Yeah, from what I remember, the Kipon BAVEyes were no match against the Metabones Speedbooster and even R.J. Lens Turbo, ZY Optics/Zhongyi/Mitakon Lens Turbo II, with the worst soft corners and purple fringing. A little fresh up, BAV -> Bavaria, the folks at I/BE Optics in Bayern, Germany, who also brought us the Handevision brand with underperforming overpriced lenses... But you know, without competition, if you're the first, you're the best. - lol, just saw that B&H significantly dropped prices (as in saving 1000+ bucks) on the Ibelux: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/search?Ntt=ibelux Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronFilm Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Good. It was stupidly priced beforehand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrorSvensson Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 will x0.7 give the proper medium format focal length? Feels like its not enough magnification. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronFilm Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Nah will be more like the APS-C of the digital medium format world BrorSvensson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liam Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 A little bigger crop factor than the 645z, i think. If I'm calculating right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nearly all digital medium format systems have a crop factor vs film 645 (let alone 6x7). With only a very few that don't.

Nikkor Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 51,42x34mm You would be surpirsed how good even a tiny ancient 36x36mm back looks on portraits. My favourite format is 6x7, but 51x34 is good enough to unveil some of the beauty (specially on faces). I don't know the numbers right now but cinema 65mm is smaller than photographic 645, so if you liked the look on the master or 2001 this speedbooster should give the same look. The only problem I see is quality and vignetting (that first element looks too small). BrorSvensson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
