Viltrox has released the Viltrox EF-R3 Pro 0.71x focal reducer for the Canon C70 and the RED KOMODO. Optically, this is the exact same adapter as their EF-R3 EF to RF focal reducer, however, this model features a more professional locking EF mount. Let’s look at how this can benefit your shoots. Best known as a budget photo supply company, Viltrox produces lenses, adapters, lights, monitors and cages. Their products are generally well-built, and cost considerably less than their competition. And, the EF-R3 Pro is no exception. This 0.71x Lens Mount Adapter allows a full-frame Canon EF-mount lens to be mounted onto an RF mount camera with an S35/APS-C sensor. The adapter’s optics help to maximize the lens’ apparent angle of view while providing a one-stop increase for the camera over the lens’ aperture range. When paired with a compatible autofocus lens, as well as camera-controlled aperture functions, this adapter is intended to allow those features to be used. If an attached lens is capable of generating Exif metadata, when used with a directly compatible camera, the adapter saves that information along with image files generated with a combination of the lens, a compatible RF Mount Cine Camera, and the adapter.
