funkyou86 Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 That is a heavy rig! How much does the flare canon weight? Keep the videos coming! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fabutch Posted April 7, 2017 Author Share Posted April 7, 2017 Thanks! you're right, that is not a "holiday rig" but definitely usable total weight of 4/3 to FD+Canon+redclamp+Möller+Focuser8 is 950g, so similar or less than Sigma 18-35+speedbooser Sorry, I haven't seen so much flare, this my first test and can't compare with other lens. I have to test more, in direct sunlight... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fabutch Posted April 8, 2017 Author Share Posted April 8, 2017 Thanks! Yes the focus ring is not so smooth. Maybe with time it will loosen up. There is a little allen wrench provided, maybe it's for loosening it up. The focus throw is a little short but we get used to it. It remains perfectly manageable. I attached it to the Moller with a step-up ring 40.5mm to 52mm, fits perfectly. Overall I'm very satisfied, build quality is very good and I'm very pleased about the picture.

tweak Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 I also have one. Picture quality is certainly usable and seems to exceed SLR RF by some margin. Flares seem almost the same with it on or off to my eye. It introduces a little softness towards the edges and highlight blooming at the most wide open aperatures but that's not always super apparent. Focus ring can be tightened or loosened with those hex screws, just be sure not to over tighten or the ring will no longer turn . The ring and lens assembly has a little play which is fairly annoying (along with super short focus throw) but for the price I guess you can't be complaining too much given the alternatives. If I had the money I would still buy the Core DNA over anything else. For the money I'd say this product is well worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nahua Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 The video is very helpful. I'm still on the fence, and from the video it looks very similar to the larger brother the FM module. However the small size for small anamorphics makes it interesting. Please post more footage if possible, thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tihon84 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Looks good! But soft edges is something i dont like. Waiting for focuser 16/32 with bigger lens inside to shoot on m43 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvertonesx24 Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Yeah I love the form factor but the edge softness is tough on this one. When focused closer it has a weird dreamy effect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
