Thank you soooooo much!! I should have read the instructions about the back focus ring! you showing this saved me!

Great review. You checked every point.

Hey buddy. Just want to ask if you have problems with the locking mount? The regular version of this adapter has "a little bit of play" issue between the mounts, I wonder if the locking mount solves that problem? Thanks in advance.

No the one I’ve got is really solid. As I mention in the video it’s harder to switch lens with a locking mount but it’s more secure.

if you have then you have a slight problem mine is perfectly snug at least with my 6 sigma lenses

Really helpful, thank you 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Wonder if there is a Sony or Panasonic version of this focal reducer so I could put it on the Sony A74 and Panasonic S5 Mark 2 for when in 60fps 4K

What's the glass size in comparison to the Canon one? I heard you say it's larger than the Viltrox. Thanks in advance.

I wish it was still in stock! 😢

This is going to be a silly question, but on APSC lenses on like the EOS-R, R5, etc., if you are in crop mode for those lenses, will the focal reducer widen those images? I've actually owned this adapter since before its official launch, but I don't have any APSC lenses. I was considering picking up a set of Crop Sensor Cine Lenses and was wondering if I could Jimmy-Rig it in that way.... hmmm.

Sadly not, it actually does the opposite. You'd need some sort of focal expander to be able to do this, sadly that doesn't exist for still lenses.

Thank you I was wondering what that metal ring was but keep it up!🫐

With the positive locking ring set-up, how tight is the locking ring? Is there a "notch" or something that prevents the ring from accidentally unlocking when bumped or brushed?

@JonathanPalfrey

It’s very tight, especially with a sigma lens on. You need two hands to take lenses on and off, there’s no way you could accidentally unlock it from bumping or brushing against it.

@@shaunlaf I ended up getting the regular EF-R3. It seems to work okay. But one thing I noticed is that I sometimes get an error when turning on the camera after being off for awhile (say overnight) that requires me to just turn the camera off and on again. I think it's related to the adapter. I don't notice it happening when I have a regular Canon adapter on.

@@ken830 May i add, i had a similar issue with my viltrox adapter for my m50 but most of the time it was the bolts coming loose on the actual adapter, now I constantly push down on the metal piece and that sits between the lens and the adapter to make sure it’s not loose and problem solved for me.

hi thx, does the Viltrox EF-R3 Pro 0.71x click if the lens is mounted on the adapter. mine doesnt click like written at the manual? thx

It’s been just as good. The positive lock can be a bit annoying if you are on your own though without a tripod. Personally I’ve just been using a normal EF to R adapter a lot as I prefer the sigma 18-35

Does this still work on the c70 with the new camera firmware update? Looking to buy this from china seeing it isnt available here in the US Thanks :)

Hi, some reviewers seem to pretend that there is some "conflict" between this item and the IBIS system. Could you confirm

@JonathanPalfrey

Жыл бұрын

I've not notice anything. The C70 IS is digital so it shouldn't really make a difference. Like the Canon focal reducer it changes the focal length on the screen.

i had to return mine unfortunately. im sure it was defective. turning the ring it was way too tight and the red dot could not reach the right position. the connector could not touch and the focus was't working cecause of that. i coild not get another one because was out of stock. disappointed because what i cpuld see in the image was great. Not been able to tight it correctly i had to return it. now i found a new speedbuster made by meike supposed to do the same thing for less money also. thanks for the review.

Can you explain how to fixed for the infinity focus issued...im using EF 17-40

You screw the lens element in the adapter to fix the infinity focus. It takes a bit of trial and error.

Its EF to RF so you can use your old EF lenses on a cropped sensor RF mount camera such as the C70, R7 or Red Komodo

With most EF-S lenses there's nothing to reduce. The image circle is already sized for an APS-C sized sensor.
