RupertPupkin Posted November 5, 2013 Author Share Posted November 5, 2013 Thanks for the heads up. So my best bet for different sets of lenses on the pocket would be to have multiple different speedboosters huh? Not exactly a budget saver, but if it's the only way...

andy lee Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 I would consider the metabones Contax /Yashica to micro 4/3 speed booster as you can use it with the superb Yashica ML primes plus the Carl Zeiss Vario Sonnar zooms in C/Y Mount Im using ths Yashica primes and Zeiss zooms as a 'set' as they have a similar looks are both as sharp as each other (all these lenses are made in the same factory in Japan) Canon FD to micro 4/3 speedbooster is useful too for the FD L series zooms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RupertPupkin Posted November 5, 2013 Author Share Posted November 5, 2013 Thanks for the input. Only thing is for right now, due to budgeting, I think I am planning on building a full set of Nikkor pre ai lenses. I can acquire a full set of these Nikkors for much less than starting from scratch with c/y mount lenses. In the future, once I have a full set of Nikkors, I would like to get another set of lenses, most likely c/y zeiss glass, but right now my wallet is saying to just stick with Nikkors. I just wish I could find some decent footage from the pocket camera using a pre ai Nikkor prime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bioskop.Inc Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Still waiting for my Nikon to MFT adaptor, so still can't comment on this lens setup. However, the Super Taks are really nice with the Pocket - the 35mm f3.5 is now perfect due to the native 800ASA. Because the Pocket has preset WB choices, the warm tone of the Super Taks becomes a non-issue since you have to adjust WB in post (minor tweeks only).
