Inazuma Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Hi guys, I received this today, branded "Camdiox" (linked here). It's a £72 Nikon F/G to Micro Four Thirds focal reducer / lens turbo / speed booster. At first, I thought all was well. But as I played around more I found that my lenses weren't focusing to infinity. The lenses in question - a new Sigma 18-35mm f1.8 and an old Tokina 80-200mm D f2.8. Both have great renderings but failed to focus to infinity. Has anyone else had similar experiences with cheap focal reducers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBraddock Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 I have a RJ lens turbo and it shifts my infinity focus a bit. I have to dial back to 10m instead of infinity sign to be able to focus on infinity. However, that adapter has focus adjustment. Look here. I haven't changed it yet as I wanted to try other lenses first. Inazuma 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inazuma Posted July 24, 2014 Author Share Posted July 24, 2014 Wow. I could actually rotate that rear lens element without unscrewing anything. And I got it right the first time round :D Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nog Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Hi Inazuma, can you give us your impressions of the Camdiox product please? It's good to know we now have some home grown reducers in the UK but it would be good to know the quality of it, could you upload any images taken through it, or can you compare it with a Metabones (which seems to be the "standard") Thanks :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
