Accept for tevidon where you switch the mount instead. Wait until you get to fuji 8, 17 and 35 then :D . If you do the measurements it's simply not possible to fit these lenses with no modification to the lens itself. 1 hour ago, mercer said: I can easily get infinity focus on the 25mm by taking off the rear ring and using a Fotasy adapter. Even without the spacer it works. http://www.getdpi.com/forum/4-3rds-cameras/13547-czj-tevidon-versus-fujinon-cctv.html#post176111 I know you can, I'm not saying it wont work, all I'm saying is it doesn't look proper and you can't then easily/quickly just unscrew it from the adapter and put it on another camera. mercer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tweak Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Also, just as a tip for anyone modifying a 25mm Fuji, on some of the 25s it's almost impossible to unscrew the 3 grub screws around the rear retaining ring. I don't know why this is so, perhaps they are glued in, but on a few 25s it's been impossible for me to do. In this scenario it's better to jyst leave it on, protect the rear element and modify as needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loved my Nx1, but being limited to the S lenses for all my event work was annoying. I've been mainly using A7r 2 mainly in FF mode, great RS performance, get to use the full width of my lenses, and I like the image. It's actually pretty crazy to me that so many people complain about the colors. Yeah I understand if you always shoot S-log to torture yourself in post I can see that being a problem (or just use the S-log lut in Resolve and have a great image right away). Every one of these image was just shot neutral with slight tweaks in lumetri. I was able to get slightly better color out of the NX1 near the end, but I'm almost there already with the sony. I miss the NX1 viewfinder in bright lighting, but the Sony is much MUCH better in low light situations. I liked the menus and handling on the NX1 better, except the lack of ability to switch from the viewfinder to the rear screen mid-shot. Very happy overall. kidzrevil 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I briefly had an a5100 and I remember getting good results with portrait. Being a Nikon guy, I would have thought you would have gone with the D500. Well it looks like you made a great choice because the images look stellar. Gotta love those Voigts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The A7r 2 is also for my photo work. Wanted that full frame for that, video I can deal with crop. But mainly I can no longer accept doing run and gun work without an EVF, external moniters and eye cups just give me trouble. mercer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kidzrevil Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Contax Zeiss 50mm f1.4 aej I love the Contax Zeiss lenses. The size, build quality and look of the images have a unique signature to them. These are the "real zeiss" lenses to me. They have more of the 3D pop people mention and less of the clinical sharpness of the modern zeiss glass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has the perfect mix of contrast and milky blacks. The subdued color looks nice. kidzrevil 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidzrevil Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 @mercer thanks man ! Im slowly moving towards a more bright and contrasty look. Really just embracing the low dynamic range of these cameras instead of trying to mimic an alexa you know ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikkor Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 Has anyone tried the SLR magic 50 f1.1 cine fullframe lens? I want to replace my nikon 50 1.2 because I don't like the bokeh and ugly aberrations and was wondering if anybody here had some experience with it.

I don't think high DR necessarily means low contrast, but I get your point and agree. kidzrevil 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
