Over on dpreview they are saying the blue dot is still an issue with the new adapter.

Hmm. It needs more testing, I doubt that they claim it fixed if it is not. It is quite competitive field now, so needs double checking.

Ok thanks, I will try to correct my framing then...If I have futher problems I'll post in a separate topic some still ;)

@Vitaliy_Kiselev I mean that using my Vivitar/Komine 28mm 2.8, Pentax K mount, I usually have a "grand angular effect": distortion on the faces, distortion on the windows (which appear a bit "bended"), and when I shoot a scene where the subject is in front of me and at the same time there is , for example, a painting on the wall behind him , the painting appears very small while the guy very big. It is a problem of my vivitar 28? I hope not! XD

I think that the most interesting focal lenght on the Mitakon Lens Turbo + GH2 could be 35mm: we can get in this way, using a cheap 35 2.8 lens, a 50mm eq. FO, similar to 25mm lens (like Panaleica or Nokton 25), with an extra stop (a 35 2.8 with Mitakon on GH2 should perform like a 25 f2 lens). I hope it will be a nice low-budget solution, since it is very hard to find cheap old manual glasses for this focal lenght apart from Vivitars/Kiron 24/28mm 2.0-2.8, which have evident perspective distortion too.

Ps. I love my little Vivitar Komine 28mm 2.8 , Pentax mount, on my GH1, however, while the FOV is 50mm Eq, it has the distorted perspective of a wide lens, and not the magic 50mm look (flat, but not exaggeratedly).

@Psyco Yeah man, I'm stumped too. Might just grab a Metabones instead. I'm sure I won't be the first.

The mft to Nikon isn't avail yet but I might on the Metabones if it doesn't come out soon

anyone pull the trigger on this new lens turbo? i'm tempted.

is there any example footage of the new optics? The glass has to be different in some way now that the blue dot issue has been resolved.

@Vitaliy_Kiselev i'm not familiar with Nikon adapters, but will this new Mitakon one for M43 have aperture control on the adaptor? I take it that if it did, there would be no way of knowing exactly what f/ setting you were on?

Tsk! Typical! I recently just bought the standard Nikon adapter and have been using my DX 35mm f1.8G by locking the lens open. Nice that the 35mm DX lens covers full frame area even though designed for APSC.

As for the adapter...its great. Bit of "glow" when fully open in daylight and more flare so optics are not super awesome but works lovely all the same. Especially for lowlight and sharpness. At last I dont have to be halfway across the room to use a 50mm effectively anymore.

New improved Nikon G to E mount adapter

Without blue dots and such.

Present at our deals - http://www.personal-view.com/talks/discussion/1029/catchit-deals-weekend-specials

m43 versions will be available later this month.

Optical quality appeared to be very good with the Nikkor 135mm f2 and the Bower 14mm, both stellar performers on the D800E, no vignetting wide open and no noticable loss of resolution

Those are a lot of numbers. And since we tested the Lens Turbo adapter on a 16-megapixel NEX-5N, a direct score comparison to the 36-megapixel D800 isn't exactly fair. At f/2.8 the center-weighted score is only 1,534 lines. The center is actually quite sharp at 1,975 lines, but the edge resolution is a dismal 557 lines, about 28 percent that of the center. Stopping down to f/4 doesn't move the needle much, but we do see improvement at f/5.6. There the lens scores 1,717 lines overall, with 2,170 lines in the center and 590 lines at the edges. The drop-off percentage is about the same. The lens did better at f/8, notching an 1,827-line average with 2,153 lines at the center and 826 at the edges—the edge score is about 38 percent of that of the center.
