TSV Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Just saw that this afternoon on AV Watch Japan http://stkb.co.jp/info/?p=4356 That really cool... I wish Metabones could do something similar for M43. Timotheus and Chris Oh 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timotheus Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Sexy gadget...Fotodiox also makes one, looks a tad more rugged: https://www.fotodioxpro.com/fusion-nd-throttle-auto-adapter-canon-lenses-to-sony-emount-camera.html Here's hoping for a MFT version...and it's a matter of time before they put in a focal reducer as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lwestfall Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Looks like the Kipon only does 4 stops vs. 8 on the Fotodiox, but at least the filter is removable from the adapter, unlike the Fotodiox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lwestfall Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Oops, the Kipon does 7 stops (1.5 to 7) . (I was confused by the "4 step range" wording in the exclusive distributor's Adorama ad and an older announcement on DPReview) Also, although removing the filter is possible, you lose infinity focus. The Fotodiox goes from 1 to 8.5 stops, the variable ND filter is not removable, and the ring is geared. I would be interested in seeing a comparison between the color casts these two adapters cause. Still looking forward to how this more advanced (but unfortunately much pricier) electronic version will do, since it provides FS5 level functionality and full wireless controls to Canon EF lenses (like the Aputure DEC does): http://www.newsshooter.com/2016/02/24/bve-2016-the-end-genus-show-electronic-nd-control-for-sony-e-mount-cameras/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lwestfall Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Actually now it's the Aputure DEC Vari-ND (electronic variation from 3 to 11 stops allegedly without color casts) that looks like it will be the first to market (maybe they bought the tech from Genus?), supposedly by the end of the year! http://www.newsshooter.com/2016/09/10/ibc-2016-hands-on-with-aputures-impressive-dec-electronic-variable-nd-for-canon-ef-to-e-mount/ http://www.newsshooter.com/2016/09/09/ibc-2016-aputure-electronic-variable-nd-dec-canon-mirrorless-lens-adaper/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
