First SLR Magic 50mm f/1.1 review (new version) on Cinema5D

Share

The new SLR Magic 50mm f/1.1 is now shipping at Adorama, BHphoto and on [shoplink 43532 ebay]eBay[/shoplink]. And as you know SLR Magic improved the performance of the lens right before the first shipment. Cinema5D published the only review of the new lens and tells us what has been improved:

One of the problems were the very soft left side corners of the lens when the aperture was wide open. (The right side looked sharper). As you can judge from the above photo (crops from the upper left hand corner of the image produced by the lenses), this is no longer the case. The optical performance of the SLR Magic Cine 50mm f/1.1 was significantly improved and now is matching the right hand side of the lens.

Well done SLR Magic!

UPDATE: Judd Weiss early thoughts on the new SLR Magic 50mm f1.1 E-mount can be read on his Facebook page!

New video demo of the brand new Nikon F to Sony E-mount autofocus adapter (by Steel Chen)

Share

Steel Chen is working hard to further improve the new Nikon F to Sony E-mount autofocus adapter. As a reminder: This is not the Commlite adapter! It’s a new project which seems to work much better than the Commlite version.

Steel just sent me the link to his latest video shot on the A7rII with the [shoplink 43517 ebay]Nikkor 70-200 G I lens[/shoplink]. It really looks very promising. As usual feel free to add questions on the comment section. Steel will answer all your questions!
