Cinegain Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 I've already digged into BAVEyes before and turned out they lose to both Metabones and the R.J. Lens Turbo. The new ZY Optics/Zhongyi Lens Turbo is supposed to be the best sub-Metabones offering. The BAVEyes (BAV stands for Bavaria - Bayern, Germany) are made in cooperation with Kipon and I/BE Optics. They are also working together on the Handevision brand. Which is to say rather underwhelming performing with a way overpriced pricetag attached... Kipon on Tmall: https://hanshansm.world.tmall.com (btw, this adapter has been around for longer than just right now, maybe just not in Japan). You might as well pick up something like this though: https://world.tmall.com/item/44607998507.htm . That's 980 CNY/RMB ~ 150 USD for an active EF 0.71x booster (E-mount example; local CN price, add about 30% for resellers that ship to the rest of the world).

Metbones is still king but their price in Japan is just laughable. Their products are sold at more than 1100 USD here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinegain Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Another thing that's on the market just now: http://www.aputure.com/DEC-LensRegain . Not sure about calling a 'focal reducer' a 'lens regain', but then again 'lens turbo' is pretty ridiculous as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
