    Sony Monster LA-FE2 Nikon to Sony adapter, now with screw drive AF!

    焦点工房 on Reels | 焦点工房 · Original audio This Monster LA-FE2 adapter looks super interesting! You can now get AF with older screw drive Nikon lenses. This would be perfect for some of those older Nikon screw drive prime lenses! Now Nikon has no excuse to make their own version!

    I roll my back out daily, stretch and do quite a bit of strength training every week. Though in my mid-40s I'll see how long I can maintain this fitness level! 😁

    On Fred Miranda, there's a thread about using the FTZ rear metal mount/gasket and swapping it over to the 40mm f/2 and 28mm f/2.8 Z lenses. Though people got upset when I mentioned how Nikon was forcing people to do ridiculous modifications to their lenses for something that should have come...

    Lens Yongnuo 35mm f/2 for Nikon F-mount - Cheap lens packs a punch!

    This is just a quick first impressions with the Yongnuo 35mm f/2 AF lens for Nikon F-mount. I recently picked up a D7500 to shoot my kids' soccer games, because I wanted the APS-C crop without having to lug around bigger FF lenses. I liked the camera so much I wanted to get a small prime for it...

    Sony I don’t own a single Sony prime

    When I was shooting only DSLRs, it made sense to shoot camera brand lenses based on optimal auto focus performance. Though with CDAF/OSPDAF, 3rd party glass will focus just as accurately on mirrorless cameras. Plus USB docks for Samyang/Tamron/Sigma, etc. allow precise focus tuning (something...

    Sony I don’t own a single Sony prime

    I've gotten rid of all my Sony native glass. All I have are Samyang primes, a Tamron zoom and an adapted Sigma 50mm. I don't shoot sports action and I don't need a stop-action movie when it comes to action sequences. 15fps is plenty for 3rd party glass!

    If you get a Zf, keep us posted John! I have a nice collection of Samyang AF lenses that would pair nicely with the Zf if it works. Plus I have a collection of Nikon AI-S glass for those times I want to go MF.

    I want the Zf bad! I've gotten out of the rat race of cameras (focusing more on other things like carbon race bikes), but the Zf looks so sexy. It'd pair well with aging D750 camera bodies I refuse to get rid of! I can see myself using the Zf as crossover body for my Sony//Nikon gear and my...

    You need a bicycle then! I most likely live in the most dangerous city in the US for cycling. Sadly Los Angeles has the best weather since we can ride year-round. It's probably the other reason why I predominantly ride in the hills and mountains just to avoid as many cars as possible.

    Honestly what I miss about M43 are those crisp corner-to-corner files, Olympus colors and metering, the way Olympus handles lowlight live view, their 5-axis IBIS and all the little effects features which are handy for creative shooting. Everything else just feels too serious. Sometimes I want a...

    For some reason I'm itching for an M43 camera. Looking at the current state of mirrorless, everything is back to big. Ever since I started cycling seriously, size and weight are important factors for me. I'm thinking an E-PL7 or E-M10II might fit the bill paired with either a 12mm f/2, 15mm...

    Nice bike as well! The carbon bars I was trying were 100g lighter, but the amount of flex and tedious torque screw tensioning wasn't worth it to me.

    I just looked up that frame, it looks really nice! I'm not a weight weenie, but lightweight wheels actually help when climbing.
