I really like what your neon sign in the background does :D interesting gear review :)
Ha ha I’m glad, I was so annoyed when I first imported the footage and noticed it!
Hey! First time to land on your channel! This video was great and helped me get a good sense of the product before buying! The title for the video was great! I am following you for sure! Thank you for sharing ! )))
🔥 Nice one Harv! I see that they even made one for the L mount. First of its kind! I may have to take a look at this
Great review, thanks!
I have a few points here but first of all, love the content as always and a great review, I was always curious about these types of adapters. 1) The EOS RF ND adapter doesn't even work if you pull out the insert, you lose focus completely because of the way the light hits that extra piece of glass, it changes the focus plane or something of that matter, so you MUST buy a regular adapter or that overpriced glass. I totally agree on that. 2) The best adapter by far is the MC11 by sigma, it's the only adapter I'm aware of that gives you full time AF-C even in video with native performance with all modern Sigma lenses e.g. ART line. You won't find an adapter to my knowledge that lets you AF-C in video with canon glass at all. 3) Although the Fotodiox and MC11 won't work with Canon EF-S glass due to the protruding rear element gasket (except the 17-55mm 2.8 as you can remove that gasket by hand), you can in fact use third party EF-S glass such as the Tamrons or the most popular Sigma 18-35mm 1.8 or my APSC weapon of choice. All in all, great video. I did just put in my preorder for the A7Siii, though it was painful I think it'll be worth it.
if you don't want tint, there is also an adapter made by apature released back in 2017 called the Apature VariND for e mount. it uses an eletronic variable nd like the fs5
I'm buying the one without focus connectors for my vintage M42 lenses which often don't have any filter threads and if they do they're weird and various different sizes. So this adapter (without the focus connectors) is the perfect fix!
I have it and find it pretty useful. I have this and the glass less fotodiox adapter too. I use the glassless much more often but it's nice to have the vnd versión. I've heard of the missconection issues but never had them myself. I have tons o Canon ef lenses and its great to be able to use them with my sony cameras. Color shifting? Dunno, not that of an expert. 👍👍
Perfecto - I'm only looking an adapter to match EF cine lenses to the A7S III - so what do I care about AF. I wonder if an EF cine lense will hold still with the K&M adapted or this when doing follow focus....
the glare/ funky bokeh balls maybe due to the reflective black paint in the inner barrel of the adapter, i think i have heard someone mentioning this issue, im not sure whether they fixed it in the newer ones
Could you please comment on color cast at max filtering settings? Sometimes it's not the same low and high.
Thanks.
Let's go!
Oh and I don't mind the halo, two bohkes for the price of one ;) lol
Thanks for the review. The 2+ minimum stop is unfortunate, as that could be too extreme for some shots. The color shift bothers me a bit more, as occasionally I have clients who request color-ready Rec709 footage, and I don't have the option to color grade that footage to compensate for the color shift. I find the red cast a bit extreme, and it would require adjustment on the client's part.
I agree that it the world would be a better place once more cameras have built-in ND filters. The electronic ND filters on some of Sony's cine cameras is a wonderful thing, and I'm surprised it hasn't caught on. Once you use ND, you'll never want to be without that option.
Cheers.
can't you just do a white balance in camera? don't really get the problem.
Very nice...😉
Sony should've added the ND option for their LA-EA5 adapter. Sigma should've done the same for their MC-11 adapter.
Agreed! I’d snap up an MC-11ND if Sigma make this
Hi, will this work with manual photo lenses or even cine lenses with manual aperture?
Fotodiox have a new adapter that supports autofocus now!
I would've rather you adjusted the stops with ISO or shutter speed rather than with aperture since f-stop isn't necessarily a measurement of light. If you were using a lens with t-stop that would've been more accurate.
As for the halo, it's just like you said. same happens when using a big step-up ring with an ND for example.
Fair point but I think the difference would have been minor. I should have used shutter speed really, ISO is definitely not accurate enough
Harv Video/Audio Stuff love your videos man. They've been very useful to me. Keep it up! By the way, I have the not-smart throttle and I love it.
I have had this product for about a year and I don't use it anymore because of the massive light leaks that come in when there is a lighting source on the sides of the adapter, I didn't like that at all because I like my videos to look really clean. The concept is great though, just that was the big problem for me.
Eek I’ll have to look out for this 😬
Anyone tried the adapter with Irix stills lenses like their 11mm Firefly or 15mm?
Harv - what model # of K&F Concept Adapter are you using for full frame EF-full frame E (FE)? I can’t seem to get any support help on that...
Hmm I’m not sure what the model no is, it was the one on amazon for ef-e mount. However these days I’m using the sigma mc11 (as well as this Fotodiox of course) 👍🏻
Привет! Завтра покупаю этот адаптер, есть смысл его покупать. Я не силён в английском
Mine stained on the inside and I can't clean it
The lens aperture is not measured in T stops but on F stops,
you cannot assume exposure from F stops
Agreed, however I ran the same test afterwards using shutter speed and the results were identical
@@HarvVideoAudioStuff Thanks, and the halo does that also happen with longer focal lengths like an 85 mm?
Do these work in combination with speed boosters?
I have the same question! I would like to put on canon m50 Tamron 15-30 mm F / 2.8 Di VC
Hmmm, it certainly would be interesting to see canon m to ef to e mounts. I’m not sure how this would work not being very familiar with the m mount flange distance 🤔
I’ve looking this before with this ND adaptors and as far as I know you couldn’t combine the two, I guess it moves the circle of confusion. But I wondered if it may be different with this model. I’m a GH5s user by the way
is there one rf to ef one ?
Unfortunately not yet 🤞🏻🤞🏻
Actually the product page states 2 stops minimum (ND4)… 🤦♀️
That’s weird, it was correct at the time of filming. It’s possible they’ve altered the design since 👍🏻
Always good reviews but why all this frickin' rock music in intros?
I like it (and wrote it) 😊
Sorry no offence meant but it reminds me of all those loud, over produced American reviews - you know the ones. Backward facing baseball caps, monster sized mics and the inevitable 'hey wat's up - it's your boy' -intros. How about some nice Delius or Chopin instead? (probably would avoid Mahler) :-)
I have written some classical pieces but at the moment I prefer the current intro. Ha ha I’m also partial to that American rock and Mahler 😂 it’s the content that matters eh
I wouldn't Buy any more fotodiox lens adapters I don't care how innovative there adapters are there quality sucks
