Meike MK-EFTE-C Variable ND Adapter First Look - Sony FX30 FX3

[@HyperlapsePro]

Hi. Did you test ND filter with wide angle lens? Is it sharp enough on corners or has some blur?

[@onotech]

It is sharp enough in the corners, I think. Used a Canon 20mm. But I do think the strong suit for this adapter will be with manual lenses because I don't feel that it's responsive enough. However, I should note that my AF lenses are not of recent generations.

Nice and fun video! What do you think about the adapter after some time? Does the autofocus working well with EF lenses? :)

[@onotech]

To be honest, it's a bit disappointing. I've got older EF glass and Meike says that the adapter works better with Contrast Detect Mode instead of Phase Detect AF. It worked pretty wonky and was very frustrating. I spoke the head of Meike about it at NAB and asked them to work on an update but I don't think one has come out yet. I got it because I want "internal" ND and this seemed like a great solution. With the SmallRig cage mounted to the camera, it interferes with the filter sled. So either, you just leave it in there or you have to remove the lens and adapter to switch filters. That's not on Meike that's just the luck of the draw. But because of all of this, I've been slowly buying more E-mount glass.

does it support IS stabilization ?

[@onotech]

Actually, I don't know. Haven't really tried that but I'll have to see if it does.

Video eye autofocus?

[@onotech]

I wish it worked better but I haven't seen any updates from the company.
