What is the latest situation on these two adapters?

 

Commlite:

The last update on Commlite is that its working decently for the most part but waiting for V3 firmware and hardware in March (thx John).  Price seem to go up with every update/batch $349 to $369 to $399 on Ebay vendors.  Still considered beta and not widely released (ever???).  Still unavailable for new purchase if one didn't get an order in on Ebay before they sold out.

 

Steel Chen's:

Nice couple of videos in January posted by SAR Admin but silent since.  I've sent a direct email to Steel Chen's gmail address without any response.  At this point its a single prototype and is a vaporware for practical purposes.  No pricing or availability forecast.

 

Any others?  My last correspondence with Metabones resulted in them saying is not on the schedule of products but rumors persist (wishful thinking by Nikkor owners??).

 

With all these new adapters (Teacart, Sigma) it would be great if Nikkor glass can join the AF party.....

Ok, this came from nowhere.....

 

Is this the same Commlite adapter rebranded?

I am thinking the same thing this morning when I saw it on the BH newsletter too.

 

The images of the two adapter certainly looks the same, especially the tripod mount.

 

Kinda still hoping they are different so we get more alternatives, but as vello is like the brand name for "rebrand" stuff... probably the same adapter.

      2 Primes or 1 Zoom?

      By XKAES · Posted

      I'd opt for a small zoom, but I must admit that there seems to be a dearth of lenses in the e-mount in the 24-50mm range -- for some reason.  I have a small 24-70mm, but that's an a-mount Tamron.  Maybe you can find something by looking at lenses slightly longer.  I have a heavy, but small 24-100mm a-mount, and Tokina made a 24-200mm a-mount.  Maybe there are similar lenses in the e-mount.  Kill three birds with one stone.

      2 Primes or 1 Zoom?

      By bs.shoots · Posted

      I recently got an a7cii and to pair with the compact body, I thought of getting 2 of the trio compact lenses, 24mm F2.8 and 40mm F4.0. (I already have a 70-200mm) However I stumbled upon the newly released 24-50mm F2.8 G. I'm not sure which to get - I like the small factor of the prime lenses ON the body because it's discreet and helps me blend in as an average tourist / doesn't make it obvious when doing street. But if I add the dimensions of the 2 primes together, it takes up more space in the bag than the zoom lens. BUT THEN, the weight of the 2 prime lenses is 110g lesser than the zoom lens. The zoom lens has the added benefit of being more versatile.   So now I'm stumped. Each has their pros and cons and I can't decide which to get. I'd like to hear the views of you guys who are more experts at this.   Edit: I'm a bit concerned about weight because the last time I went overseas my shoulders were aching from carrying too much. Which is why I was looking for small compact primes in the first place.

      Sony a6300 after shutter repair

      By dev001 · Posted

      Hi, I have got a6300 which shutter stopped working. I managed to change shutter but unfortunatelly broke shutter motor tape but I fixed that. After repair the shutter is working but not in a proper way, watch with sound. I bought the second shutter and tried to test it before dissaembling again and it doesn't react to magnet but it works fine when I apply 3V. Are there different type of shutter for a6000 - a6400? Back to the question what is wrong with my shutter after first repair? I don't want to put next shutter unfoundedly. Do your sony cameras perform such a self-check after start up?  IMG_5579 (1).webm
