![]() Using my warped justification logic, that means I am now legally entitled to buy two of the Meike primes as I will still be £250 up on the deal ![]() That £18 adapter (which I had no idea existed ) has saved well over £1000 in additional adapters for the E mount cameras. OK, so most of these things can be done with dedicated E mount versions of these adapters but the biggest issue is the additional cost of buying them all again if you run both systems. Last but not least is being able to use Aputure DEC Lens Regain on the A6500 to speedboost Canon lenses and have electronic follow focus control. Next up is being able to mount the Vizelex Lens Throttle Variable ND adapter to make a compact fast swappable full frame system with vintage primes. To being able to use my Nikon F/G to MFT speed booster which with its integral aperture lever control is so much more usable than having to use a Canon version with a thin F adapter on it and the fiddly aperture lever. Where things get really interesting for me though, and I suspect for people with both MFT and E mount systems is being able to re-utilise existing MFT adapters.įor me, these range from an obvious one such as PL. Its worth checking but most of these lenses are usually originally made for APS-C so even in MFT mount they will have enough coverage. That doesn't just go for the Meike lenses but of course for any manual lens such as Voigtlander, Samyang, 7Artisans etc. Of course, for our purposes, of mounting manual only MFT lenses to it then it works perfectly. So, absolutely pointless and probably explains why there is no particularly buoyant market in making these adapters You will have absolutely no control of the aperture, focus and in most cases the lens will not fill the sensor. Now the first thing to say is, other than to just try that it works, there is absolutely no point in mounting an electronic MFT lens such as this. Which got me thinking about whether, as there is some flange distance to play with, there was an MFT to E mount adapter available and it turns out that there is one made by Pixco so £18 later, I now have it and here it is.Īs there isn't a massive amount of flange distance to play with (1.25mm) then the adapter is understandably quite thin yet doesn't particularly feel flimsy but I did find that when changing lenses its better to dismount the lens with the adapter attached and then re-attach it to the next lens as its a bit fiddly to lift the locking pin release on the adapter. The Veydras, which the Meike lenses are "closely associated" with, did have an E mount option IIRC but the new ones don't. Its not a massive deal breaker particularly as there are no shortage of great options to mount them on but as someone who also owns a couple of E mount cameras, it would be nice to have the versatility of being able to use them on those too, albeit it in APS-C mode. Except.I've been thinking quite a lot about the Meike cine primes over the past couple of weeks and the slight sticking point of them being tied into the MFT lens mount cameras.
