Nikkor Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Nice job, I wonder if he could do the same with the NX mount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tupp Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Nice job, I wonder if he could do the same with the NX mount.The throat diameter on the NX mount is 42mm. The RJ focal reducer for my EOSM has a rear element that is around 30mm in diameter, and it "converts" APS-C to near full frame, just like the OP's hacked Metabones speed booster. So, assuming the rear element of the Metabones adapter has a similar diameter to my RJ adapter, the Metabones could be modified to fit inside an NX mount, with a little room to spare.

Kristoferman Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 These kinefinity cameras are so tempting. Just annoying that nobody speaking English seems to use them! IronFilm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtheory Posted January 12, 2015 Author Share Posted January 12, 2015 I'm looking forward to NAB to see if they announce any new updates. Their development is pretty fast, Kineraw2K was replaced pretty quickly by Kinemini4K, and their BMC mod was completely unexpected...so there's a chance.

Administrators Andrew Reid Posted January 12, 2015 Administrators Share Posted January 12, 2015 My KineMini 4K arrives this week! Just on loan for a review. 4K CineForm. The 2K goes up to 100fps.Interesting about the focal reducer being modified to fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ebrahim Saadawi Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Nice job, I wonder if he could do the same with the NX mount.It seems Richard Gale from the forum is the one that made the modification for the KineMini, so I believe he would be the one to answer on the technical possibility for an nx1 version. Rich? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristoferman Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 very much anticipating an actual review of the kinemini Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Andrew Reid Posted January 12, 2015 Administrators Share Posted January 12, 2015 Ah yes it was indeed. Would love to hear what Rich says about the mod.Here she is not quite rigged up but the 1D C is ready to provide some competition Very impressed with the changes they've made over the old Mini so far. 4K image looks amazing and the camera is 10x more responsive. Much nicer feel to the all important command joystick and record buttons too. Start up time has been more than halved, down to 20 secs.More pics... https://www.storehouse.co/stories/r3hpj-kinemini-4k vas 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richg101 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Ah yes.. The kini booster ultra. The lovely Rob Bannister sent over a squeaky clean speed booster ultra and the sub-pl to adaptor that kinifinity provide for the camera. from there I could equate what distances need to be adhered to in order for optimal results. it was just a case of machining a sub pl mount to bolt to the back of the speed booster. Unfortunately the time involved in the job was quite a lot and since Rob has been a friend and regular customer of dso I did it mates rates as a bit of a challenge. what with the nx1 being very popular, metabones are almost certainly working on a solution as we speak. For me to undertake another one, the price gets high due to the initial cost of the speed booster as well as labour. some have asked for me to do the mod to cheaper speed booster copies, however due to the way they;re made, it makes it actually less simple to modify. If Rob or Andrew wanted to rally a group of 10 people who might want to go for a kini booster, it would take prices down drastically and i could just cnc a user fitted sub pl coupling which will fit straight onto the e-mount to ef mount speed booster.

Kristoferman Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 kinemini shoots 4:3 doesn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james d Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 yes, Andrew having all those anamorphic adapters you were once showing off to us once upon a time could you please find time to shoot some 2x anamorphic with the new 4:3 update. I do believe you'd be the first to do it and demonstrate the Kinimini if you did. Looking forward to your review many thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvertonesx24 Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Kinefinity Speedbooster is out. Too bad it can't be purchased separately somehow, seems like a lot of money for those of us already with EF mounts. But still very welcome for this camera even at $700http://www.kinefinity.com/shop/k2ef-active/?lang=en Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richg101 Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 I wonder if they have purchased a load of speed booster ultra's to get the optics from them? I'd hope so, since Robs ultra is an astounding optic, and assuming it were being used on the kinemax it'll deliver amazing resolution onto that 6k sensor!

Kristoferman Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 new Kinemax 6K footage looks pretty damn great to me. Apparently some of this was shot with the new speed booster. Really wish these cameras would come stateside so some kind of following and discussion groups could get going. Kinecommunity is a complete ghost town.

Currently our only customer for ULTRA optics is Metabones. I expect that Kinefinity is sourcing cheaper glass from another company. richg101 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was gonna go ahead and make some user installed subpl-e-mount adaptors so kine users could use the Ultra on their cameras. Decided not to since kinefinity started offering theirs. Maybe it's still worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would it be technically possible optically to produce a focal reducer that reduces the image circle of a Medium format lens to a Full Frame format? Especially on a camera with a small 18mm flange distance like Sony A7 series. Or there a technical limitation on how large image circles can be reduced?
