Hello, please tell me how you solve the problem with the closed aperture in this 16x CL lens: as far as I know, all the lens automation works according to the outdated SPI protocol, and it is not possible to open the aperture by applying voltage to the bayonet contacts - this is controlled by software. Maybe you disassemble the lens and remove the aperture curtains? Thank you

Does this lens have a zoom of 120? Is it for events? Is it a good lens for photos and video? I'm about to buy one but I'd like to know for sure!

I used this more for fun its defiantly not ideal for events more for casual artsy photos, (this video at 9:12 for examples) sadly my camera died and I have not been able to replace it yet to test out more stuff.

I also have the same lens, but when it's not attached to the body, no light passes through the lens at all, it's completely dark. Is yours the same way, or is there something wrong with mine? It seems like you haven't used an electronic connection because the aperture value isn't showing. I was wondering if there's a part inside that moves after it's connected.

@@ZeoMetta Oh That is great. If I am not wrong. I have seen your where you made your own adapter by cutting off excess metal. I wish to something similar but for a C mount camera. My sensor is just 7mm in diagonal, which should not cause any vignetting. What do you think of just 3d printing a adapter.? The purpose is just for lab experiments.
