Has anyone any experience on that ? Unfortunately, there are no adapters that allow you to have electronic control of Nikon lenses from an MFT camera. On the upside, think of the cost saving from only having to buy a dumb adapter ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leslie Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 going by this blokes website https://steemit.com/photography/@johncaz/tokina-at-x-pro-af-28-70mm-2-6-2-8 i think its series two. its certainly not the 3rd with the bayonet hood and its 77mm filter thread not 72mm filter thread like the first one, so i hope its the ANGENIEUX copy. i have been looking for the nikon or pentax version as they have the aperture ring on the lens as i understand, it other versions have the aperture controlled by the camera. thanks for the update btm.... its a bummer there is no smart adapter that narrows things down to a just speed booster then. Probably 2nd hand in the near future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homestar_kevin Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Congrats on the lens! I have the Pro v2 (#3 on the site you linked) and love it. Good start with the cheap Nikon to m43 adapter. For the speedbooster/focal reducer part there are a couple way you could go. Metabones is definitely the top of the line, but the Lens Turbo II is also very good. It's great to have both the cheap plain adapter as well as the focal reducer because it will give you more options with the lens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Angenieux version is the f/2.6-2.8 version, not the f/2.8 version. Now some folks suspect they’re very similar, so you may have a gem.

JordanWright Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 I read somewhere that they market the 2.6-2.8 as 2.8 in Japan so it could be that? However, I could be wrong. Anyway the Angie is an incredible lens, perfect on the Pocket 4k with a Speedbooster! mercer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homestar_kevin Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Yeah, from what I remember the 2.6-2.8 was simply labeled 2.8 in lenses for the japanese market. So I know there are versions that are the Angeneuix design but labeled 2.8. There's a lot of layers to it lol mercer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless the horse has bolted for me lol. Still i am confident and looking forward to receiving my copy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be interesting to see how well the Sigma holds up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
