agolex Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Got the Samyang/Rokinon/Walimex/Whatnot 100 2.8 Macro, really sweet lens. Tried a bit of video too with the spider, but it's really hard to keep focus in macro range. Thinking about getting the VDSLR version instead which has more focus throw. However, the lens breathes heavily and might not be for every situation.Stills shot with Nikon D800, might put something together in terms of the NX1 spider video later on. mercer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

midloch Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 no you will not be able to change aperture on the zhyongi. but i recommend getting nikon mountTokina is only electrical aperature changable? It means that if I want this lens work I must buy only Metabones EF XL SpeedBooster? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

midloch Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Not if you get it with a Nikon mount. So it means that if I buy Tokina 11-16mm with Nikon F mount then buy adapter Nikon F to Nikon AiS (I hope it exists) it is possible to connect with my Zhyongi speedbooster (AiS to M4/3)?

Inazuma Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 So it means that if I buy Tokina 11-16mm with Nikon F mount then buy adapter Nikon F to Nikon AiS (I hope it exists) it is possible to connect with my Zhyongi speedbooster (AiS to M4/3)?Nikon Ai, Ai-s, F and G lenses are all actually the same mount. Just work in different ways.G lenses don't have an aperture ring and so your adapter will have to have an aperture lever built in. I don't think the Zhyongi has it but the Camdiox and Metabones does.

homestar_kevin Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 The easiest way is to get the Nikon mount tokina and the Nikon F/G lens turbo.They exist with the Aperture control lever built in. That's what I use to get my 11-16 on the pocket camera Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Members Mattias Burling Posted July 14, 2015 Super Members Share Posted July 14, 2015 Got a new wide angle today. Its meant for my K3 but works on everything from a BMPCC to a 5D.I have only tested it on s16 so far and then its not really a "fish eye". Will test on bigger sensors tomorrow.

Super Members Mattias Burling Posted July 16, 2015 Super Members Share Posted July 16, 2015 Did a quick test with my $12 Zeiss. Haven't used it but might need it this weekend for a little project so I took it for a quick walk.And yes, this is text book boring leaves, flowers and pet footage. mercer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercer Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Did a quick test with my $12 Zeiss. Haven't used it but might need it this weekend for a little project so I took it for a quick walk.And yes, this is text book boring leaves, flowers and pet footage. Nice lens. The bokeh on that 2.8 blows my mind. I have two of these, the same version you have and an older model that has a little silver on it with a nubby rubber grip. I think I paid 50 each and both of them have aperture problems. I think there's something wrong with the pin. I also have the 35mm f2.4, which I got for a steal. It was recently cleaned and declicked... Which is nice. I'm thinking about having the 50mm 2.8 declicked too, if I can find someone to do it for a reasonable price. I'd love to get the 20mm 2.8 or f4 but I can't justify the price right now. Mattias Burling 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faleene Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Trying to figure out what kind of zoom lens to get for my Sony A7 for run and gun type shooting on a rig. Is IS that important if i'm shooting on a rig? + any recommendations? ~400-500$ range, ish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faleene Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 http://www.johncaz.net/blog/tokina-at-x-pro-af-28-70mm-26-28 Is there a discernible difference between the Pro I and Pro II versions (Pro II is supposed to be the updated Angenieux based lens with better coatings and added spherical elements) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Members Mattias Burling Posted July 22, 2015 Super Members Share Posted July 22, 2015 Started a roadtrip today and scored a $6 25mm f2.8 within the first few hours.Shame I don't have an adapter at the moment but I think I've packed enough stuff to make a vacation video anyway .
