In Topic: Sony Nex-6 with Canon 60mm Macro & Sony 10-18mm zoom

18 April 2013 - 08:11 AM

Hi Marsh,

i was just testing it above surface, to see if the quality of the pics will be ok.
And it looks much better than the Sony E 30mm for me.....
That it is not af, is not fine, but would be ok. Specially because the focus spot is too big on my Nex5n.

Until now i was using my D300 and the 70 - 180mm Nikon for macros. Thats great for tiny stuff like in Lembeh. And gives you the possibility to play around and shoot bigger things as well.

I would be interested in an af adapter as well.
And if Metabones is faster than the Sonys, i buy some Canon lenses, or 2nd parties with Canon connector.

But that means longer ports, or longer distance rings, and fitting zoom and focus gear......

Greetings,
Wolfgang

PS: shoot a Sony LA EA1 in ebay last weekend....

Hi,
i have a Nex5n in a modified Nauticam 5 housing, and was now testing the Nikon Macro 60mm 2,8 D with a Novoflex adapter. I habve a lot of Nikon stuff, including a D300 in a Hugy housing, but plan a small and light version for trips...
Its only manual focus, but gives nice pics, no comparison with the Sony 30mm....
Was as well testing the 70 - 180mm macro zoom, but have no idea how to mount the lens in the port and then the camera at last part ;-))

Has anyone tested the Metabones converter focusspeed against the Sony adaptors 1 and 2?
Would be interesting which one is faster. I know that not any lens is possible, Sigma lenses with the HSM drive should work, or?

Are there any plans about longer distance rings, so there are not too much o rings between housing and port?

Greetings from vienna,
Wolfgang
