#Contax 645 mount manual
You can use full manual mode or auto aperture mode. PDAF will hunt on low contrast scenes… of course.
The MK3 version now features a Mini-USB port to load future firmware updates.ĪF performance with the 645 lenses is remarkably good! They focus very fast to approximate distance and then … tick-tick-tick … lock quite quickly when the subject shows enough contrast. It’s also nicely finished with flocked paper inside the adapter (avoiding internal reflections). As mentioned above by " hiepphotog" me I also think the adapter is very well machined. My Fringer MK3 has been shipped yesterday. Although both seem to be promising these in the near future. There is also the Cambo Actus and Arca Swiss Universalis but at this stage, neither of these have lens boards that offer aperture control of Canon TS-E lenses. Maybe a shift only adapter with the extra room being used for the electronics for aperture control. There is the Hcam Master/Mirex adapters but these do not allow electronic aperture control. The different electronic protocols are there in various forms at the moment.
I am surprised that nobody has come out with a Canon Eos - Sony E-mount adapter that enables some movements on it (with full electronic aperture control) and then a second adapter with movements that enables the use of Contax 645 glass.
In my discussions with him, he said he was open to the possibilities of doing a straight Contax 645 to Sony E-mount that would enable three movements. Although i would love to be proven incorrectįor those of talking about having shift ability of the Contax 645 lenses, there is this post that discusses a future adapter of Steel Chen. There is no straight adapter solution that I am aware of. Or, Steel Chen makes a Contax 645 - Canon Eos adapter, which I believe will work with a Metabones (in place of a Eos body). When you say that it works with a "Contax G and Nam-1 adapter", as far as I am aware the only options are to use it with the Fringer Contax-N adapter combined with a Nam-1 adapter.
