jcs Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Looks pretty nice: http://cheesycam.com/fotodiox-vizelex-nd-throttle-variable-nd-lens-mount-adapter/ A smart version with aperture, IS, and AF would be a very trick piece of gear. For the GH4, a version with a focal reducer (if physically possible) would be stellar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richg101 Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 fotodiox pro are very good I have to say. They seem to focus on specialist items as well as for the masses. I use one of their awesome adaptors for schneider 6000 series medium format PQS lenses on my A7R and am very happy with the results. I hope their glass choice lives up to the quality and attention to detail they apply to their metalwork. will probably grab one of these. thanks for the link man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcs Posted June 21, 2014 Author Share Posted June 21, 2014 np. Looks pretty solid if using manual lenses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Wall Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Seems like an ideal pair with a set of Rokinon/Samyang manual primes. jcs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ebrahim Saadawi Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 But wait, can a variable ND filter dial down to absolute 0, as in letting in all the light when not needed without significant loss in quality? If this is the case, these people are going to make a lot of money ;) The idea is good but from what I see the filter doesn't flip out of the way. I don't want an ND stuck in front of the sensor in low light sutuations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ebrahim Saadawi Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Just read on their website that the variable ND inside is from 1 to 10 stops reduction in light. Useless really. I would rather have my ND in front of the lens and be able to remove them whenever I want. Having it stuck and non-removable behind the lens is the worst idea ever. You'll need to carry another regular adapter to turn the ND ON and OFF! :D And also just realised a company called Holymanta does actually make the exact same idea adapter, but with a lever to flick the ND out of the way in an external housing extending from the adapter. It's 300$ though, but does basically give your M43 or Sony camera true built-in ND filters. I wonder why this isn't more popular! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philipp Setschmeister Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 this is nothing new. about a year ago these guys: http://www.holymanta.com/ started selling a much better device. i think they funded it through kickstarter. looks nice and solid, and its only 15 dollars more expensive than the one that was posted before.
