simbon4o thanks for posting some more samples.
Curious question, do you see any manipulation on the characteristics of the lens such as bokeh and colour rendition after using the lens turbo? Eg. for your Zenitar 50/1.7, does it act differently with the lens turbo such as it's bokeh characteristics and contrast? |

I have hesitated in getting one when I first saw some samples here in this forum and the results are quite mediocre. But after seeing your results simbon4o I think I'm going to get the EF mount to use my EF, m42, and Nikon lenses. Maybe an MD mount as well. Very nice results simbon4o another nice little tool to complement on your beautiful cats and models .
Btw I've heard that the manufacturer has improved the quality of the lens turbo from when they first came out. Guess that's the reason why I see mediocre results from members who bought the lens turbo when they first came out. |
Minolta SR (MC, MD series) models for mFT seem to have gone missing from Ebay. The only thing similar is produced by Metabones, and those seem priced for the videographer with a budget or sponsorship.
I too was hesitant at first, but after seeing some better examples on the web, I went ahead and took a risk on an M42 version. I have been pleasantly surprised by the lack of obvious distortion or CA so far, but note that it does exaggerate any imperfections of the lens.
Most assuring was the performance with a Tamron SP 17/3.5 on an E-M5.
The Mir 1V seems to like it too.
As does the Revuenon 24/4.0 Macro.

Well
From today I think that the turbo likes more the Pancolar there is almost no change of the focal plane contrast or anything.
Pancolar MC 50 1.8
Zenitar 50 1.7

Latest frames are with pancolar and they are easily recognizable because of the swirliness.
They are full resolution if somebody decide to download them. _________________ 10-300мм 4.0 - 1.2 - 4.5 NIKON&Sony bodies / Sony 10-18, Pentax 28 2.8 II, CZJ 35 2.4, Nikkor DX 35 1.8, Samyang 35 1.4, KMZ 50 1.7, FDn 50 1.2 L, Nikkor 55 2.8, Rokkor 58 1.2, Soligor 85 1.8 Preset, Samyang 85 1.4, Canon FDn 85 1.2 L, Tokina AT-X 90 2.5, Canon FDn 135mm 2.0, Nikkor 180 2.8 ED, Tair 300 4.5

Lovely example here. It had just occurred to me that I can use my M42 lenses on my minolta model with the adapter.
I think it would be easy to produce a universal mount for this product, probably cheaper than making one for everything. Like a t-mount system but at the front end rather than at the rear end. _________________ Hero in the 'messin-with-cameras-for-the-hell-of-it department'. Official. |

You should be the spokesman for this lens turbo, Simbon. If everyone thought their pictures would look as good as your just by buying this piece of metal and glass, they would all buy one. Amazing shots and I love the thin focal plane. I'll be ordering mine tomorrow, will tell them you sent me! |
