Hi Philip

Could you please tell me is there any way to connect Carl Zeiss 1/3″ lens with my Canon 60d ? What about sensor size etc.?

I have a couple of Sony Z7′s and I was pretty sure these cameras have the facility to mount Sony Alpha lenses on them directly. Not sure what the amount of control would be in this case, but I have seen videos done with the alpha lenses on them which look pretty awesome, however I believe it softens the look slightly from the kit lens.

hello .
i stay thinking in use other simple lens in a jvc ,
perhaps from 8 mm, c mount , what’s up about that?
is not posible?

i present to the camera a schneider componar 50 mm and the image is very clean, and the focus can make with far and near the lens.
i want work in any adaptator for that, but fucking dificult to do any way

Hi there

The 1/2″ chip is much than a super 16mm frame size. It’s closer to a 2/3″ sensor. I would just email MTF direct and ask Mike Tapa what will work and what the magnification factor would be when using these lenses.

I have a question about the MTF PL to Sony PMW-EX3 adaptor ?
Could I use the Super16mm film lense on it?
If I try that way, what the problems I will get?
I think the CMOS size is closer to 16mm film, I can get more precise view angle on that.
Why nobody try it and share their experience on forum?

Hi Philip

I have the 1/3″ to B4 2/3″ adaptor from MTF
I use a panasonic 301 with a 2/3″ Canon 20 with extender
Great adaptor but I have a problem with back focus, I can’t get the back focus right.
Is this a common thing when you use the 2/3″ lens on a 1/3″ camera?

Excitiing stuff..thx for posting & sharing you’all.
If one wants to use non-aperture ring lenses like Nikon G’s & Sigma’s like the not too expensive 10mm Sigma f2.8 (which iam dying to try …I need wide angle..only have the 17mm on the Nikon 17-35mm.)Would one fit the Sigma 10mm non-apeture lens (Nikon mount) via the Letus Extreme onto the EX1? with MTF’s adaptor plus maual aperture adjust ring?-I cant seem to see or find a MTF mount Nikon to Nikon…What am I missing here….What other wide angle route is there?…I want at least 10 – 12mm since it needs to be alot wider than my Nikon 17-35mm…The 14mm just doesnt seen to be that much wider than the 17mm I already have, considering the price etc….

MC.
Attaching these devices to the camera and then attaching the lenses could not be easier, just do it in the normal way..no special knowledge needed.

Phil Johnston.
With the Nikon G to EX3 and the Nikon G to 1/3″
Just rotate the blue ring as if it was an iris ring.
When you are happy with exposure, lock it off with the thumb screw.
