You´re welcome. :-) Yes, I also rechecked this. The Series-E should have a couple of weaknesses, as I have read. One is the only single coating, then the build quality is almost all plastic and what I really would name a deal breaker is the only 0,6m or 2ft close focus distance. Sharpness wise, it should be comparable. How would you rate yours in terms of wide open sharpness?

@@manugeee Since it is a vintage lens, it has to be really bad AND I don't like it for me to notice how soft or sharp it is. if it's a vintage lens and it's really bad and i DO like it - i don't care. in this case, it seemed to be sharp enough for the images I've taken with it - night shots using a tripod, mostly. I don't remember having any complaints at all.

Engineers!!! 👨🏻‍💻😁

Thank you 😊

Yes, exactly! The trick is, to convert the Nikon into an E-Mount bayonet camera with the newer adapter. The electronic controls are between Nikon and neewer. And now you can use any old lens and get an adapter from „old lens“ to E-Mount.

The shop is called Ausgeknipst. They have an own store recently. ausgeknipst.de/ I would recommend the cells box due to the voltage issue with 6V Px27A adapters. With the box you have on the other hand the problem, that after half a year or so, the cells are empty. Also you have to wait a little for the reaction when you open the cells seal, and after some short time the voltage is correct and stays correct a long time. So the cells box is better.

Hi there. Glad, that the video helps you. No, the K&F is only used for the mechanical connection. All the electronics are in the Neewer adapter and the camera. So if you have a sony E-Mount manual focus lens, than you can directly attach it and get focus confirm. Cheers. :-)

@@manugeee Thanks for the quick reply. I ordered the newer adapter!

Just got the neewer etz adapter and try the manual focus confirmation. It works! Thanks for the tips! One more question, the manu of the adapter says that you should remove the lens then remove the adapter when you remove it from the camera body. Wonder if the order is important? Can we remove adapter with lens together from the camera body before decpule of the lens from the adapter?

@@qicheng3342 i also have no idea why it is written in the manual. Usually I donut as described, but i also unmounted both together and had no problems. 🤷‍♂️

:-) Nice to hear, that i brought you some nice memories back.

That´s a nice combo. I am not totally shure about the film anymore. Is already a year ago. But I am pretty shure, that I brought some Kodak Gold 200 with me to greece. But most of the images for the real testing, I shot adapted on the Sony A7III.

@@manugeee oh, I’ve got the a7iii as well and was just wondering if these lenses could be used….

@@MWSCologne yes of course. The great thing about mirrorless cameras is, that they have no mirror anymore. So the flange distance from mount to sensor is much smaller. Therefore SLR lenses just need an adapter that provides mechanical connection and the right flange distance. Just look for Nikon F to Sony E Adapters. They come in basically every combination.

@@manugeee thanks

Sehr gerne. Viel Spaß damit. :-) Ich hab jetzt bald mein erstes Video mit nem Objektivtest fertig, dass nur damit geschossen wurde und es ist wirklich ne ganze Ecke angenehmer. Aber rumhüpfende Kinder bleiben auch damit stressig. ;-) Ich hoffe es wird bald auch noch ein offizielles Firmware Update kommen. Ich hab vom Neewer Support noch ne Beta Firmware bekommen, die auch IBIS unterstützt, weil dann die Brennweite zur Kamera übertragbar ist. Ist zwar harkelig in der Beta, aber macht vor allem die Fokuslupe nochmal angenehmer.

I have made an update video on this adapter and features provided with a beta firmware version. But to make it short: It works, as explained. I only noticed, that i cannot set up high apperture values on the camera, because then the exposure gets off. Also high apperture values on the lens let the exposure change a little with automatic exposure setups. A little strange, but you can compensate with the exposure compensation dial.

First the one hand it is said in the manual to unmount first the lens, then the adapter. But i did not notice any problems when unmount both at the same time. But for the case of using it with different focal lenght you need to attach it with the computer and therefore you need to unmount the adapter from camera and lens.

It should be. But I have heard, that there is a next beta firmware 1.7.0 which did not work that well anymore.

Luckily mine works fine so far. But yes, if the electronics get a problem, then the camera is directly useless. Still I like the semi automatics and the small package with the nice Pentax lenses. :)

@@manugeee The main problem with this model is the rubber bumpers and screws loosen, causing shutter and speed failures, making you think they are electrical problems

Oh wow! I just saw, that’s the ttArtisan Adapter also has a Focal length ring on the side. That could make the Ibis a lot easier to use than with beta Firmaware and Neewer adapter. I will definitely check this out. Thanks. ! ☺️

@@manugeee Yeah the only downside to that is it only has standard focal lengths of 28, 35, 50, 75, 90, 135 so if your lens is something other than that it won't work.

Your welcome. :) I had just to place the firmware file on the adapter via the connection cable as flash drive. After placing it and putting the adapter back on the camera, the firmware was updated. I have heard, that IBIS should make problems, with 2.7.0, so I did not test it anymore. At the moment, I am using it only with 50mm lenses, so it is okay. But when I need to change the focal lenght, then It would become anoying.

@@manugeee Thanks for the info Not sure I will do the update then, unless I could go back to the older version or find the 2.6.0 that seems more stable? 🤷🏻‍♂️ 📸📸

Thanks! I thought, i put in chapters, but they are definetly not there. But of course I put a lot of effort into my introduction of the topic. So feel free to what that too. ;-)

... and for 85 and for 135, 200... No! Sometimes money is not always the right solution to everything. ;-D

This should be strongly depending on which 50mm 1.8 you have. There is the Series E, which should be very bad, but there is also a pancake version, which was only made for the japanese market and this is at least on par, maybe also a little better wide open. But the 50mm 1.4 is a really good lens. Still my favourite and the FM3a is a great camera. As a matter of fact I am just working on a video to the japanese version, so stay tuned. It will be released somewhen in the next 2-3 weeks. :)

@@manugeee thanks , yes the .45m MDF only for Japan , maybe the 50 F1.8 D will be a good choice , it is chinese , plast but the same optics.?

I hope you will have fun with your. I still did make all my images so far with cable release. :-)

Thanks. :D Yes, that was some kind of a project. But regarding the cameras, I still have and use... worth it. :D

Ja, das ist wirklich seltsam. Werde ich auch weiterhin wohl eher weniger machen. Ich hab noch n Paar ähnliche Videos vorbereitet, in denen ich auch ne ganze Zeit lang durchgequatscht habe. Aber ich glaube, ich schneide mir die alle zu einer kleinen Sequenz zum Bilder zeigen und mache ein extra Fazit. Ich glaub, ich hab jetzt Kameratechnisch alles durchprobiert. ;-) Die OM1 hab ich, wie gesagt, auch (und die OM2n ;-)) aber ich tendiere im Moment allerdings dazu, dass ich meine Nikon FM2 behalte und von Pentax kann ich mich noch nicht trennen... Die Pentax ME Super ist ne echt kleine und halb automatische OM1 Konkurenz gewesen. Und da ich so viel Pentax Glas habe, bleibt die erstmal. Meine K2 habe ich auch erst durch Sucher Kreuztausch wieder benutzbar gemacht. Da war die Silberbeschichtung vom Spiegel durch alten Schaum kaputt. ... Oh je... Kameras wieder los werden, ist nicht leicht. ;-P Schönes Wochenende zurück. :)

Yes! Exactly. :)

erm.. ooookay... I am glad, that you know, what is relevant for my and what not.

You are welcome. :) I finally am working on my first lens test with this combo. :) May still take a couple of weeks, until it is finished. :)

I would not be affraid of the electronic parts, but the mechanics can be sticked together or the foam above the prism can damage the coating of the mirror.

Nailed it. :-)

😊

Almost! :) Exakta Varex IIa. :)

Dieser fiese Algorythmus. :D Hoffe, du hast deine Dichtungen ersetzt bekommen. Eine OM1 habe ich hier auch noch liegen, aber die hat einen defekten Belichtungsmesser. Ist zum Glück voll mechanisch. Da komme ich drum herum. :) Soweit ist alles gut. Es könnte man gerne warm bleiben. seit unserem Urlaub ist ständig wer erkältet und verschnupft bei uns. (Jetzt gerade ich). Aber sonst geht es uns gut. Ich hoffe, euch auch. :)

Phew! I don´t know, what you need. I tested Nikon F lenses with the nikon FTZ adapter. That works fine. The 50mm f1.4 is maybe a litle slow as a lens, but I dont now the Otis lenses and I have no idea, if they work on the ETZ adapter. With AF, I would say: Better get Nikon F Mount glass and adapt, or go directly on the Z mount.

Did I say L-Mount? For shure I meant E-Mount, because I no L-mount glass or cameras. But as you already said. Megadap works well for AF E-Mount glass. Neewer for MF glass adapted on E-Mount.

Hi there, sorry for the late answer, I just tested it in video mode and when MF is active, you also can see the green box. :)

I totally agree with you. :) The 5D MK1 is the camera, with wich I shot the longest period without even thinking about to change it. It then was replaced by the Sony A7III, but it is the Canon which I connect with making images of my childrens first years. :D

I am not really sure. Some people said, it should also work with older Z Cameras, but i have none and so don´t really know this.

Haha! No, as I mentioned, it seems to be a Cosina camera. I think Rangefinder wise is the Voigtlander Bessa R Series the next closest to what you want. M-Mount and affordable are only combineable in one sentence, when you are richt. ;-)

Hi Matteo, no, that is not normal. The focusring should not have play. That should be concidered in the price. But it should also be easily fixable. Usually there are a couple of screws, behind the front ring, that maybe have loosened. Thanks for the compliment. :D

@@manugeee thank you for your answer, I tested it again and found out it didn't focus to infinite. I'm going to look for another copy, thank you again!

Almost. You do not get f-stop recognition with this method. You only can set an f-mount number in the camera, but it is not connected to the lens and i noticed, that with too high f-stop values, the exposure gets off. (from f11 on) With M-Mount lenses there should be an TTArtisan Adapter with 6bit Coding. But I have no experience with that.

Not exactly. ;-) You definetly, need to put the film correctly inside the take up spool on the left side of the camera. But yes! If you want to shoot film, try it out. but keep in mind, that the first roll is always a test roll and you may not get images back at all.

How did you set the 85mm focal lenght? Do you find this info inside your text file, or is it the non CPU Data, you have set inside the camera. For the IBIS the Non CPU Data input seems not be considered by the neewer adapter.

@@manugeee I think it's a problem with 2.7.0, I've edited the text file to match yours, and also set the focal length in the non cpu lens data section, but it still says 85mm in the EXIF data.

I am also pretty interested in the voigtlander F- and Z-Mount lenses. But they are a little pricy and I have a couple of other projects (also non YT ones) to handle at the moment. :) So... someday maybe :D

I have no experiences with the Zeiss Batis combination, but if you want to use AF, maybe the Megadap ETZ 21PRo is the better adapter.

Definitely! :D

?

Thanks! :D It is of course a selection of pictures, i gathered over the many many years. Not all of my images are pure gold. ;-P

Thanks for your comment. I just came back from a holiday trip and used the Sony 24mm f1.4 with the Megadap ETZ 21 Pro and it worked pretty well with AF on the Sony. Could not complain that much.
