- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 ส.ค. 2024
- This Focal Reducer or as some say "Speedbooster" lets you shoot Medium Format lenses with a x0.7 crop on Sony and Leica Full Frame cameras.
And finally I have made this video.

i really love how you put real pictures instead of some random "test shots". They're really beautiful.
i realize it is quite randomly asking but does anyone know of a good site to watch new series online?
@Alexander Kairo I watch on flixzone. Just search on google for it :)
I love the relationship you have with your dog!
Seriously! I love that dog!
You summed up the joy of using vintage lenses on digital bodies so well.
Thank you for the quality of the content you share. The objectivity of your perspective is as crisp and relevant as the supporting imagery. Color grading and post work, b-roll footage, "perspective" images are all classy work. Bravo.
Oh it is such a relief to finally see someone expose and develop their photos to include so much range without it feeling washed out. Very nice.
I've never seen so many beautiful pictures in one place, and I'm a snobby jerk when it comes to other people's work. Positively inspiring.
Always so calming to watch your videos Mathias. Cheers and I hope you’re doing fine in these usual times.
Great video! I liked your photographs, the use of music, and your relaxed narration.
Your narration was top of the line! Some of the other channels there are just telling details and details but you, you show us the true beauty of art with photos taken and make me wanna spend some money.
Anyways, subbed
Hello Mathias how are you? I think I've seen all of your videos, this in my opinion is your best. A lot of times we photographers like to talk about gear only but you have a way of expressing it as a means to achieve the art you're looking for. These photos of you spending time with your dog are beautiful as some of the commenters said. And to be able to do that without setting up lights and backdrops is what it's all about. I started using a rolleiflex a little over a month ago and I'm Amazed by the medium format look, I've been wondering if there was a way to use those lenses on regular cameras and now I know it's possible. I might watch this again, catch you later LOL
I can't believe we can get all these beautiful looks and photos for so cheap! I just checked ebay and there's a ton of lenses available for next to nothing! And THANKS for mentioning buying the camera AND lens set and then selling the body - I never would have thought of that!! Great Video - Kudos!!
This is one of my favorite youtube channels. And I love the dog! As always, very good tips!
Roberto Supertramp And the dog is professional 6:30
The photographs in your videos are a visual treat. Especially coupled with the great music and your soft diction.
omg the video with kipon is ridonculously awesome
6:29 Dude! That's so cool, you taught your dog how to pose! :-)
Love your video works. The music, the mood, the contents, they're just DOPE!
After watching your videos I bought a Kipon m645 focal reducer and a Mamiya m645 80mm/f2.8 lens. It worked great, but eventually I returned the adapter, and being selling the lens; it's a total waste of money, efforts and time, honestly. Anyhow, I appreciate your contribution to the photographer/videographer community. It's a joy to watch your videos, get inspiration, ideas. This was really an experience to me, too. Now, I can say was there, I've tried it.
I love the thing, far from waste of money. But we all have different needs.
To have pashion in life is a wonderful thing.. Greeks call it MERAKI .. 1 word encapsulates so many meanings and emotions .. lots of people spend a lifetime trying to achieve this .. You are one of the lucky ones. ☺ love your amazing work.
I use this brand for my M42 lenses on a Fuji FX camera. Very happy with the results. First I wanted to get the Zhongyi II, but went with this brand, and saved some money. I seriously see very little to no difference. Also used Viltrox adapter-speed booster, and also was very happy with it. I do not use 'dumb' adapters at all when using vintage lenses.
I'm a Canon user and have been thinking about having a second camera of different system. Sony fits the bill and I'm blaming you for it :) and love your model :) Great work !
You put the Rokkor in the test. God I love those lenses so so much!
Beautiful photos! And I love the texture from the video clips, nice work! I love the look of medium format lenses, there is no equal.
(I've watched this several times, and will re-watch again I'm sure).
Just shot Bronica 645 75mm f/2.8 on my Sony A7II just using basic adapter for my 100 vintage lens portrait project - no focal reducer - just magic.
Al Green - Light Through Glass Then imagine with a reducer ;)
I'm sure you're right Mattias - but the center crop portrait I got on today's shoot was pretty special too.
What adapter do you use?
Absolutely love your channel. So relaxing and love to hear your opinions. Really love the film and digital separation you understand
Omg that first picture with the dog on the bridge. I recognize that castle. I visited sweden in 2017 and that's where my girfriends parent got married and i took a panorama just behind it with my her siters canon450D which is now on a printed canvas.... yaaaaaaaay SWEDEN!!!
Cool :)
Some of the best looking A7 video I've ever seen. It's a shame this adapter is so expensive.
I watched this video which gives a soothing and joy of watching and using medium format lenses on digital body. Thanks for making life better with such a video review with finesse touch
I have a Viltrox NIK to NEX focal reducer. Oh man, I really like it. It's sharp, gives my legacy lenses a wider view, and extra stop of light.
Good stuff.
Do these focal reducers work the same?? Can I use it on my Sony alpha?
Photos made different impressions on me, but the video clips were just brrrrreathtaking.
Thank you. I thoroughly enjoy your videos, and really appreciate what you do. Beautiful photos by the way.
Wow that's epic, a full frame speed booster.
Dude, I love your content and this video was especially enjoyable. Bravo sir. Bravo.
Thanks!
eeey västerås ser jag. guess its true whatey say, the world is a small place! kikat på dina videor när jag behöver kunskap och info. otroligt hjälpsamma videor, keep up the good work
My favorite subscription! Nice work again.
Beautiful shots and editing. That looks so heavy though! Here I thought my little Fuji was heavy with a normal APS-C speedbooster and a tiny 50mm f1.4.
Thanks, a bit heavy but not compared to a Mamiya 645 :)
Thank you very much for your work, si a real Joy hear you talk about the experience of shooting and using the equipment. Your channel si my inspiration since a few years ago.
Thank you for all.
Beautiful work. Wonderful dog too!
Had a pleasure to watch and you have a nice pal to walk with.
Great video - perfect explanation. Cleared everything up for me. Much appreciated.
Wow. Your photos are stunning!
I also own Mamiya m645 with a few lens and Sony A7RII.
Your video just inspire me to adopt those lens to my A7R.
However after checking the price and found it costs around $700, I don’t think I would get it soon.
Anyway I really enjoy your video and your photos. Thank you
When looking at lens I noticed these Meduim format lens but never got past the of thinking how it apply to a super 35mm cam. More research to be done. That you for the video.
Omg your dog is so well trained, also you have very good audio in your video!
Greetings from New Zealand. Very nice and highly informative presentation.
Prabhakar Rao Thanks!
Love this. Thanks man!
Also, I forgot to mention -- love the dog!
Love your videos, in fact your original A7 video was the reason I switched to Sony!
Would love to see the results where you stack another FF to APS-C speedbooster on top of this focal reducer to get reduction from MF to APS-C. I imagine IQ would suffer more, but would be interesting to see.
Im thinking about getting the Leica version which would be able to then be speed boosted to APS-C Fuji X. SO maybe :)
hey Mttias, great video! have ever stacked focal reducers? i'm a bout to shoot a tv series and i'm looking for a way to use MF lenses on the ARRI ALEXA's super 35 sensor.
Thank you for the quick reply Mattias! Wil look for them now. Greetings from Canada
Hi.. I always enjoy your videos...thanks!
You can get this adaptor with M-mount insted of E. Then use Techart pro M to E autofocus adaptor! Would be nice to have medium format autofocus legacy lens! (A7rii+Techart pro autofocus M to E+Kipon Baveyes focal reducer Hassel to M+Lens)
Amin Shamseddini nice idea btw.
Thanks Mathias.
On a number of levels -- this is a really great video! I could write an essay on this. Bottom line -- really great message and video!
+drewnetwork Thank you my friend!
I'm kinda like you: having photography fun while walking the dog (a Dachshund) Btw. very cute dog!
It's great fun watching your channel!
Another awesome video!
Thank you! This really helped a lot! 🙏💜
Thank you for this video, it was much more than i was searching.
Very well done as usual!
Thanks for the info, very useful!!
I have a series of old Pentacon Six lenses I´m dying to use through a Baveyes in my Sony A7sii, do you have any suggestion on the best adapter from P6 lenses to Mamiya 645 mount?
Ok thanks Mattias! The kipon focal reducer is a bit pricey but still better than getting a MF system.
Mattias, loving your production style and content. I'm curious to know when you choose to shoot your Sony cameras over your Fuji ones (for stills)? When do you reach for one or the other?
Thanks, the Sony is for when I have a bag and lots of lenses.
Kul att se en svensk göra bra videor om fotografering. Jag subbar!
Hi, amazing video, thank you, but I can’t find the article on your website. Could you please post a direct link?
Thank you for making an informative beautiful video!
tell gunpowder he's a good boy
I will tell her.
Mattias Burling woops. my bad
Love you're work. Very motivating!.
awesome review and video, thanks!
Never mind on my last post!
you should make your website clickable in the description.
You are using a Sony and some 645 lenses. What happens if you add this to a RB67 lens with a dumb adapter?
Like everyone says, there's just something special about MF and its lenses.
Mattias, I’ve been watching your videos and noticed how you color grade your photos. How do you have that kind if appearance to your photos? Awesome!!
140 bucks for a Mamiya 645 Pro with an 80mm/f1.9 lens? Normally they are sold for 400 - 600 Euros on ebay. Even in the local markets in my city they are in this price range.
Sounds like an overprice imo :)
If you go on your videos, the Mamiya 645 camera and lens prices will skyrocket, and it'll take several months until they settle :-)
Mattias always manages to get gear at 50% off everybody else on the planet. Lol
Thanks for your video, but I would like to know if you can adapt to large format cameras because I have several apocromatic optics too long and I would like to reduce its focal length and increase its luminosity. I do not care about the bayonet since I would buy one to adapt it to the camera
You will need to modify it. Make it and sell it :)
6:30 very obedient and enthusiastic model
Beautiful images!
Nice shots
Honestly at this point I dont care about what you make your videos on.. your voice is just PERF.
This is great I had no idea....Thanks....And I agree with the person below :)
Is there a change between the image of the Kipon 645 and the 6x7?
The format 645 has a harvest of 0.62 and the 6x7 of 0.48, however both focal reducers offer a 0.7x, which makes me think that there is no noticeable change in the image if they shoot with a lens in the same millimeter and the same configuration. I'm wrong? Doubt kills me.
I believe your right. It will be x0.7 regardless.
Thanks for respond, Mattias. I read a bad review on the Adorama page, said that the 645 did not focus at infinity, that is true?
How do you focus so smoothly during video? Standard ability of the 1st gen A7?
The same as you would on any camera imo. Manual Focus and practice :)
A great review! Thank you!
as usual your videos are so freaking good. I wanted to tell you I do like the result of your experimentation, if i understand correctly you are adapting medium format lenses to a full format camera..... do you know what happens if you do the oposite? a 35 mm format lens on a medium format sensor camera? i just wonder if its worthy to own a medium format censor camera at all cause if you are stock to medium format lenses........ then that is quiet a compromise
Hi Matias. I will buy the adapter for sony camera. My question is if the adapter reaches infinity. regards!
Sadly, the link in the description is broken.
"Dumb Adapters" you my hero Mattias. Hope everything is going well!
Beautiful. I am wondering what the benefit is in adapting medium format glass to 35mm? Thankyou.
Love that dog lol
I really enjoy this video. thank you :D
So...color me ignorant...however---do any adapters work with a cameras "auto" functions...such as focus and exposure settings, etc--or, does it only allow a lens to be used, in "dumb" mode and once attached to the camera body, does everything then have to be manuallly controlled/adjusted? Without auto functionality, it's just an underperforming lens adapter. Thanks for your time. Oh, and have enjoyed your reviews of ALL kinds for several years now.
1. All adapters allow auto exposure. I have never heard of any camera/adapter combination that doesnt.
2. Some auto focus lenses like for example EF allows auto focus if you use an auto focus adapter.
3. "Without auto functionality, it's just an underperforming lens adapter" This would be false even if it didn't have auto functions since this is a speedbooster. Also I have never heard of underperforming adapters, what exactly is it that they underperform in?
Hey Mattias! Stop hoarding those 80mm 1.9's! they are impossible to find now. And the only one I've seen lately was $500 lens only! haha
+Josh R that sucks :)
Is this adapter compatible with old Mamiya 80mm sekor 80mm 1.9, 45mm sekor 2.8, and 55mm sekor 2.8 lenses? These are old manual focus only lenses. I think I read somewhere this adapter isn't compatible with all Mamiya manual focus lenses. Thanks.
Can you give us a list of the medium format lenses you used in the video? Some of those lenses are really beautiful!
In the video its just the 80mm f1.9 and 80mm f4 Macro.
Wonder if the Kipon focal reducer is equally as good in the Fuji G mount version
Hey Mattias, thank you for sharing this. I still don't get the difference between a dumb adapter ($45) and this adapter (Over $600). I have the Mamiya 80mm 1.9 and the 150mm f4
If you use a dumb adapter with your 80mm f1.9 it stays as a 80mm f1.9. With this adapter it becomes a 56mm f1.1 with everything that includes like wider angle, faster aperture, more light and shallower depth of field.
That is the difference. I suggest googling "Speed Booster" since they are very popular but work exactly the same way.
Mattias Burling Thank you so much! I think I'll go for the dumb adapter, f1.9 it's pretty fast. Until I can buy the Sony AF glasses. Thanks again! Very sweet dog!
Since I have got Sony A7ii I would not mind to try it out!
Budget Snaps can we use Sekor 150mm on a7ii as well .?
Hi, yes you can, all you need is adapter like this one for example:
fotodioxpro.com/products/m645-snye-p
This is the hollow one without optical element so you will use only small bit of the lens in the center because A7ii full frame sensor is smaller then medium format sensor so probably 150mm will be way over 200mm so thight.
To use more of potential of medium format glass like Sekor 150mm you would have to use one of those adapters from video (Kipon Baveyes MF) but that cost much more then hollow adapter.
Regards.
Budget Snaps.
Great video! Do you know if this would work with the Mamiya Sekor lenses that mount to a Mamiya RB67? Are they the same mount as other Mamiyas?
Is the larger sensor size offer unique perspective? Or can the same perspective be achieved on any size with the right focal length
In terms of stills, do you experience any vignetting ?! Obviously you can stop down on the lens to avoid vignette but, shooting with a medium format lens, I'd like to be wide open for the bokeh, but I'm scared about the vignette..
I shoot wide open in loads of the images in this video.
I'm a little confused about the 0.7x crop. Doesn't it mean that 0.7 crop would make the image wider? from video it looks like it actually crops it to smaller, and instead of 50mm lens being equal to 35mm it's equal to something else.
It does make it wider.
I forgot that Medium format is not full frame for a second there. :/ Thanks!
Good video, is there an adapter to use medium format lens on Nikon? im using the D850 and would love to get a 40mm equivalent lens but with the extra stop be around f0.9 or f1 like the 50mm F1.7 in your video is?
Also any links for both affordable lenses and Nikon adapters would be so helpful.
Regards
Chris
