The aperture on Nikon lenses can be controlled with a $10 adapter from eBay. That plus the long flange is what makes them so versatile.

How do you like the set overall? They are perfect for me, use them on a D750 and a NX1. Great color, "pop", and the size is is a godsend. Very smooth focus, all metal build. 28, 40, and 90mm work with my SLR magic anamorphot wide open. All have pretty long focus throws (20mm: 180, 28mm: 140, 40mm: 150, 58mm: 200, 90mm: 270), and can focus very close, the 40/90 have macro adapters. All are razor sharp wide open near the center, with the 20mm suffering from poor corners. My least favorite is the 58mm, same great color but different rendering than the rest, and focusing on it is somehow more difficult than the others. I only use it in low light situations.

Interested in picking up the anamorpjot again @Geoff CB Have not tried with the single focus Rangefinder, though I really want to see if it works. I love the results I get with the SLR Magic anamorphot and 40mm but it is difficult to focus with the small ring on the lens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidzrevil Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 @Geoff CB true. Well I just bought the 40mm ultron and the slr magic anamorphot 2x. Hope the combo works out especially with rangefinder attachment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Andrew Reid Posted May 16, 2016 Author Administrators Share Posted May 16, 2016 Wow, works well with the anamorphic. What aperture? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What aperture? 5.6, But if you nail focus you can get sharp results wide open, this is at f2. They showed a 75mm f1.8 SL II Publicly but never released it Still...might go for the older model one. http://nikonrumors.com/2012/02/14/voigtlander-color-skopar-282-8-sl-ii-n-and-heliar-classic-751-8-sl-ii-n-lenses-announced-f-mount.aspx/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jase Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 It is a pitty that for stuff like the rangefinder or rectilux one still need a n diopter for getting any closer than 1 meter.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil A Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 How consistent are the Canon NewFD lenses in rendering through the portfolio? Let's say if you shoot the FD 28 f2, 50 f1.4 (or 1.8) and 85 f1.8 on a Sony. Will you get consistent rendering and colors? I'm looking for a set of 28 - 50 - 85 (for use on an APS-C system) with integrated aperture settings and an aperture of ~ f/2 so I basically ended at Canon FD vs Nikon F (mainly because many systems don't have a good 28mm f/2), but am more torn towards Canon because of the warmer rendering (most modern cameras seem to tend more towards blue or green).

I had both lenses and I kept the Nikon. The bokeh is nicer, in my opinion, and it's a little better build quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Members Mattias Burling Posted May 20, 2016 Super Members Share Posted May 20, 2016 Ive only played a little at home with the combo, but the Oly 17mm f1.8 on the bmpcc is a perfect match. Roughly 50mm with proper hard stops and a distance scale. Nice and light. And razor sharp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it allow proper focus pulls? When i tried this with the 12mm f2.0, the focus "jumped" as soon as it hits the corresponding marks - quite akward.

Super Members Mattias Burling Posted May 21, 2016 Super Members Share Posted May 21, 2016 Today I picked up the 35mm f1.4 and completed my trio for the M8 (also 28mm f2 and 50mm f1.5). Got all of them in absolute mint condition for a good price used. Will work on any mirrorless camera for video as well. The best part, besides the excellent image is the very nice build quality and smooth focus, with tabs on all but the 50mm. Very pancakish.
