    Mitakon Vs RJ lens TURBo.

    All photos taken in Aperture mode @wideOpen and @5.6 than resized for upload to PV. Sorry for fast moving sun.. Built quality is similar, only thing that I noticed is that RJ's ring has some Greace. I attached the image. Lenses used: -Sigma 24mm f1.8 -Sigma 28mm F1.8 -Nikon pancake 50mm 1.8 -Tamron SP Adaptal2 90mm f2.5

    You can download photos from here: https://plus.google.com/photos/116783404937625885548/albums/5964343745254279873?authkey=CIvnopf37be2IQ

    @aria It's clearly visible in the video above. The guy who shot it even acknowledged it on Vimeo. He blamed it on the fact he was just trying to get some good footage out there and wasn't paying attention to what he was doing. Little odd if you ask me. Saw it somewhere else to but can't remember where. It's been this long and we still haven't seen any rock solid footage like the stuff coming out of the Metabones. Proof in the pudding boys.

    Did you even watch the video? I had to rewatch it just to make sure it was plain as day :)

    I still haven't seen a clear example of the Purple Ghosting or Flare that everyone is talking about. Can someone point me to an example on line. Is it something you have to really zoom in to see or is it obvious even on a 40" LCD screen?

  • adamquesadaadamquesada

    @jobless waiting for your first thoughts and review of the RJ ;)

  • joblessjobless

    Mounting sigma 24mm f1.8 on RJ it was really hard.. I needed it to push really hard... But it fits!

  • joblessjobless

    Didn't have time to test it. Today I received RJ lens turbo so I'll do some tests for both of them in next days.. I did notice some purple ghosting on LCD while taking photos with mitakon doo.

  • vicharrisvicharris

    @jobless So you don't have any of the purple ghosting or flaring?

  • joblessjobless

    You need to push the adapter just a little bit harder ( nothing extreme).. I think that Cheesycam has soft hands :)

  • IronFilmIronFilm

    @jobless, why do you think cheesycam had troubles but you're fine??

  • joblessjobless

    Just received Mitakon lens turbo and wanted to report that mine is working just fine with BMPCC.

  • CFreakCFreak

    @vicharris +1!!!

  • vicharrisvicharris

    Ugh, purple flaring and color shift again. Gotta use the upper level glass in this things. I like how there's no mention of that at all in the video :) These are not the droids you're looking for.

    cheesycam begins looking at the nikon to m43 , He sounds positive. Can hardly wait for the fd.

  • sammysammy

    anyone compared the metabones and mitakon in terms of image quality, im in the market for a nikon mount version, i know mitakon has just released a nikon version to m43, and also the new bmcc metabones

  • kurthkurth

    Half of the metabones price and hopefully v2 ! It appears from the speedbooster fd-m43 complete sellout within days, that alot of folks are waiting for this little jewel. Give mitakon some feedback.

  • AlbertZAlbertZ

    Wow! :))

  • oscillianoscillian

    Great news!

  • kurthkurth

    Decide to write an email to mitakon about the m43 to fd lens turbo . Here's what they said -

    Glad to tell you, YES. The Lens turbo Canon FD to M4/3 will be launched in coming weeks, if everything going smooth.

    Best regards Lau MXcamera

    I understand this version doesn't, but is there no G to m43 on the way?

  • vicharrisvicharris

    @_OZ The Mitakon doesn't have an iris control. You can't use it with that lens.

  • _OZ_OZ

    Yeah, I just picked up the 18-35 and am using it with a Novaflex adapter. Looking forward to getting the metabones. I would love to try the Mitakon G when it comes out, but at this rate, I will probably just get the MB since it is available and getting great results.

  • matt_gh2matt_gh2

    @vicharris Thanks - prob for best as image quality prob better with Metabones. So I'm back to my plan to test Pocket - Metabones - Sigma 18-35 for imaging.

  • vicharrisvicharris

    @matt_gh2

    Nope buddy, the lens needs an iris ring. Old nikons, rokinons, stuff like that so it's pretty much a no go for me.
