    FYI, OIS support doesn't work for any of the native MFT lenses I've tried on the JVC GY-LS300's active MFT mount. No explanation so far from JVC, and I assume it's because they're still working on reverse engineering Panasonic's proprietary lens control protocols for future firmware upgrades.

    Could be a language barrier issue I suppose, but they do claim "stability function" in a sentence placed directly above a picture of the adapter being used on a GH4...It does seem a bit like false advertising if they have no plans to make OIS of the canon lenses work with the GH4.

    I don't get you exactly, sorry... What do you mean?

    I mean that you went into emotional mode.

    Look it from developer and manufacturer POV.

    @mrbill : "besides auto-focus and stability function"

  • mrbillmrbill

    I don't see stabilisation anywhere on the advertising

  • yiannis_zachyiannis_zach

    Well, permit me to say that personally I can't accept such experiments with my pocket...

    "I also really suggest to change tone and try to look at this from other angle."

    @yiannis_zach

    Because you need to make extensive tests with all this cameras.

    I also really suggest to try to look at this from other angle.

  • yiannis_zachyiannis_zach

    Sure @Vitaliy_Kiselev , but when you pay $300 for something that is advertised to do a specific job and then you don't get it, it is simply kind of spam. Why they don't simply say from the beginning with which cameras is able this adapter to be fully functional, like Metabones do for example?

    Calm down. Lens protocols are not official and very complex.

    Nothing wrong that some things have issues with some cameras.

  • yiannis_zachyiannis_zach

    Update from seller about the problem with non functioning Image Stabilisation option on their new KIPON AF adapter: "The Image Stabilisation is not supported on the GH4"... Really? So, this comes in opposition of what they promote on their official page for this special adapter: "This adapter equipped with electronic contact and built-in circuit board with chip, besides auto-focus and stability function, also can transmit precise EXIF information to the camera body". Any comments on this bad behaviour guys?

  • yiannis_zachyiannis_zach

    A quirk of the adapter by the way is that, if during your shots you need to turn it to MF, and then back to AF, you'll need to turn off the camera in order for the AF start working again...

    Oh this sucks! keep us updated!

  • yiannis_zachyiannis_zach

    I've just received mine: IS doesn't supported (at least with my copy) as they say... I'm waiting response from seller, as I can't find any official KIPON website for support & firmware updates for it yet

  • Adam_MercierAdam_Mercier

    I ordered one, but slow shipping from China. I'll report when I get it

  • Adam_MercierAdam_Mercier

    they're for sale on ebay !

  • paglezpaglez

    There is some delay for 'unknown' reasons

  • Adam_MercierAdam_Mercier

    No news on this?

  • ntsanntsan

    Video probably wont be as good, even the native lens I only use AF to get quick lock focus. But this is really interesting, if they can make E-mount as fast and add a speedbooster to their M43 mount it will be the winner!

  • paglezpaglez

    There's no tests for video mode?

  • Adam_MercierAdam_Mercier

    Looks very good!
