liamlumiere Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 A question for Lens Turbo II and e-mount users; I used the Lens Turbo II with a a6000. On my a7rII though, while using the crop mode for video, the adapter doesn't seem to fit the mount whereas it worked perfectly with the a6000 (same mount). Anyone with this set up experience the same problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobD Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Hi all, a bit of advice please! I have just received my GX85 and a Zhongy lens turbo ii. I have the MD - M43 version which I want to use with a few MD Rokkor lenses. 28mm 2.8, 50mm 1.4 and 135mm 2.8. When attaching the 50mm the camera suggests 35mm focal length, is that correct? And what would my other lenses be with the adaptor? Thanks all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Bacle Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 To get the full frame equivalent, you have to multiply the focal distance of the lens (50mm in your case) and multiply it by the focal reducer coefficient (0.71x in your case I believe) to get the final Full frame equivalent (which makes ~35mm in your case).

RobD Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Thanks Justin! So the camera suggested the correct focal length. 50mm = 35mm. Michael Coffee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Bacle Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 I don't know how you camera "guessed" it though. I think it was preset @50mm as a factory setting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobD Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 I'll try my other lenses and see what happens. But the 50mm with adaptor , the camera asks is this a 35mm lens - yes no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy lee Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 some more pics of Metabones XL speedbooster on Panasonic G7s on the set of the Movie Pandora I'm DOP on . Rigs are by Gini Rigs , Lenses are all Nikon 2.8 zooms note calbe ties holding lenses front onto lens supprt so follow focus can work without any lens movement . Metabones are very snug tight fitting to G7 and Nikons lenses os no twist movement off follow focus at all . Follow focus is Gini Rigs filpped upside down to solve Nikon reverse focus issue ...this work really well !! ps: this is a set.... thats not sunlight its a whole bunch of Arri 1K Pups behind the windows .
