Hi SL or M users,
I am contemplating making a case for SL using adapters to work with Nikon, M-glass, and Phase One medium format lenses potentially. I am unsure of a few things and hope some of you can help me out.
1. I am aware there are some lenses that have better communication (Lenses with E designation in Nikon land), but what happens with other lenses with auto aperture, for example my 16-35 f4G ED VR. Does it stay at max aperture and the adapter has a built in aperture? Is peeking sufficient with such a small throw on the focusing ring in real life?
2. Bonus round - HCam Doubleshift HDS Adapter or equivalent, anyone used shift adapters before?
3. Medium Format lens with Leaf Shutters, does it even work?
Thanks for your thought and any real world use input is much appreciated. My intent is to have a camera that does video and can be a back-up on shoots and a good alternative for shoots where I need to travel - saves on space. I can live with Manual Focus using peeking, just not sure how easy or accurate it is in real life.
Thanks,
Steve
