We have our CA-XCD adapter as wellIs there an adapter that would effectively allow the Canon 17 and 24mm TS-E to be used on the X1D? Is the image circle large enough?
I assume you are referring to the Techart PRO Autofocus Adapter. Does it reliably transfer all EXIF data to the X1D? Are there any clearance issues with regards to the tilt or shift functions? Have you tried autofocus on other Canon lenses? Thank you.I use the techart adapter and 24 TS-E. Works perfectly, subject to ES limitations. The IC is almost large enough for full shifts. Some corner clipping at the extremes.

Not all Canon lenses have small image circles.Yes.
No idea. Focal length and aperture, yes.
Not with shift. Haven’t tried tilt. But the adapter is long enough that the lens is well clear of the body.
A few, but why would I use smaller IC lenses on an X1D?
That's true, but a lens designer is not going to be concerned with image quality outside the designed IC. Of course, I tried the 85/1.2, but I have version I, which is not the greatest lens at AF anyway. It produces a unique signature, especially for such a large sensor, but I find the Leica 100/2 already too shallow for portraits when wide open.Not all Canon lenses have small image circles.
As an example, the 85/1.2 very nearly covers FF MFDB.
Thanks, but why would it say "HC80" if using a Canon lens? Also, may i ask where you purchased yours?Yes.
Focal length and aperture, yes. The lens info says HC80.

No idea, but since the 80mm is the typical "kit lens" with the 500 and H-series, perhaps they chose it as the default.Thanks, but why would it say "HC80" if using a Canon lens? Also, may i ask where you purchased yours?
I don't want to belabor the point, but if the adapter reads the exif data properly (as it should), it would detect a Canon lens and the focal length. The adapter is not cheap ($500) and should work properly. What have others experienced?No idea, but since the 80mm is the typical "kit lens" with the 500 and H-series, perhaps they chose it as the default.
I purchased directly from Techart.
The other thing to be aware of here is the 85 1.2 and 50 1.2 are both focus by wire, so unless they are attached to a Canon body you are having to focus with your legs.Not all Canon lenses have small image circles.

There are FD mount manual focus versions of these lenses, and I believe a Novoflex adapter that will allow their mounting to the X1D, no?The other thing to be aware of here is the 85 1.2 and 50 1.2 are both focus by wire, so unless they are attached to a Canon body you are having to focus with your legs.
I just shot a few frames with the EOS 85/1.2L v.1 on the X1D with the Techart TCX-01 adapter. AF worked perfectly, if not quickly. I could manually focus, with magnified assist. And set f/stop from the camera. The corners look pretty good. I'm surprised!The other thing to be aware of here is the 85 1.2 and 50 1.2 are both focus by wire, so unless they are attached to a Canon body you are having to focus with your legs.
Great to have an adapter available that can provide the power to these lenses.I just shot a few frames with the EOS 85/1.2L v.1 on the X1D with the Techart TCX-01 adapter.

The 85/1.2 is not really a walk around lens, but it's definitely unique. I suppose the Sigma 105/1.4 and Canikon 200/2 are more extreme, but not by much!

That is very nice to know. For me, use of the Canon TS-Es (17 and 24) is most important and worth the price of the adapter. Actually, don't own an X1D, but have preordered the X1DII.I just shot a few frames with the EOS 85/1.2L v.1 on the X1D with the Techart TCX-01 adapter. AF worked perfectly, if not quickly.

Posted elsewhere, but... X1D, 24 TS-E, f/11, 1/640 sec, ISO 100, 8mm shift? 10mm? Not sure. Handheld. Since the Canon is a manual focus lens, it works exactly the same on the X1D. Set aperture and exposure on camera, focus and shift with lens. Use electronic shutter.does somebody has samples for me- 17mm and 24mm. How is the workflow with this adapter?
