The Redrock Micro Live Lens"},"content":{"rendered":"

Canon are very secretive about how their EF lens system works. Other manufacturers have had to reverse engineer the system to make their own lenses. To use EF lenses on 35mm adaptors until now you had to buy the EOS mount for your adaptor and bring your Canon DSLR with you to set the aperture then remove the lens from it and stick it on the adaptor. A crazy procedure for me \u00a0(until recently) a die hard Nikon lens man! Do people really do it? Yes they do, I \u00a0know a few! Life is so easy with Nikon lenses as most have manual apertures.<\/p>\n

Redrock are the first manufacturer to engineer a solution. It’s called the Live Lens and it works brilliantly!<\/a><\/p>\n

It works very simply, but is probably very complex! It’s the EOS mount but with contacts inside it to communicate with the lens, there is an aperture control box on the left hand side which is powered by a 9v battery, the battery compartment is connected to the control box via an industry standard hirose connection, a nice touch. There is a simple plus and minus and an LCD displaying the f-stop of the lens.<\/p>\n
