![]() It is the distance that a lens of the system has to properly project an image on the sensor of the camera. AND a real pleasure to work with.įor a camera system, each has a specific flange distance (the red double head arrow in the diagram below). I’ve adapted a number of other lenses that are excellent. I have the same Nikon 105mm macro, that’s a wonderful lens and being a macro lens, it’s actually great to use as a telephoto… speaking of sharpness. If you’re making the effort to adapt and shoot with SLR or rangefinder lenses, why not stake the time to research and find superior lenses? I think it’s worthwhile, others wouldn’t.ĭifferent lenses, we’re talking pure analogue designs, have their own unique color signatures and rendering qualities that can make them much more interesting to use than hypothetically “perfect” digital designs. It’s important, but it’s only ONE element. Sharpness alone isn’t all that interesting, to be perfectly honest. If you’re using better quality lenses, sharpness isn’t an issue at all. I have plenty of other shots with a variety of lenses that are sharp Here's an image from an old full frame lens that is, IMHO, quite sharp. A full frame lens is going to suffer quite a bit. Keep in mind that when you use an adapter from a larger format you are also sacrificing sharpness, though the speed booster variety minimize the loss of sharpness. Of course unless you can use an electronic adapter for electronically driven lenses (EF-M4/3) then the lenses can only be used manually. ![]() I have a MF lenses made to the M4/3 mount that I have successfully adpated to Sony E but it is impossible to adapt the other way around. But fully manual lenses could work cross platform but even so it is always possible to go from a longer flange focal length mount system to a shorter one provided that the difference is not minimal. Lenses made for other modern mirrorless mounts will be hard if not impossible to adapt because they need electronics to drive them. Lenses made for RF camera style are of smaller build format - arguably of similar size to native oem M4/3 lenses. Most are larger simply because mirror-box cameras needed a longer flange focal distance to clear the mirror on the camera. Lenses made for larger image circles are not always naturally huge. Focal reduction adapters can also magnify lens faults - and have been known to cause blue-spot ghost re-reflections on to the sensors. Focal reduction adapters (well made) actually improve the qualities of a lens and also project (focus more light) on to the sensor giving a brighter image to the value of usually one stop of light. Lenses made for a larger images circle often have the image cropped to the best (highest resolution) part of the lens. Unless you already have some lenses you want to adapt it's usually a better bet to obtain M43 lenses Also you have size and weight penalties from larger format lenses. I already know there's no Fuji X-Mount adaptors for M43, what about the rest? ![]() I have a Pana G85, what adaptors for what lens mount works well on M43? With auto-focus working. I'm new to M43 as some of you already know, and I have a questine regarding the use of non-M43 lenses on M43 bodies.
