Hey! Hopefully by now (it is 2022, and this video was made in 2018) you have figured out that the problem here is not "cheap vs expensive", rather it is having a clue how your lens works and getting the correct tool for the job. Aperture control is a factor of the lens, not the body of the camera. Most vintage lenses, and a fair number of modern lenses, and basically any lens designed for video, has aperture control on the lens itself. Many of the adapters, cheap or expensive, are aiming at giving vintage lenses a new lease of life. The glass and housings of many of the lenses from the 70s and 80s are spectacular, and in the right hands can create good stuff. There are dozens of mounting standards across all of the camera manufacturers over the years, and within each standard, many variations of features and function. Things to pay attention to are: the function of your lens, the focal length of your lens and your camera body, the crop factor of the lens, the thickness of the various surfaces over your sensor, etc. The cheap lens mount you bought will be the perfect tool for the right lens, and the advice you basically give here has probably cost newbies a lot of excess cash they needn't have parted with. That is the real life danger of being a talking head on the internet giving advice. I hope you take responsibility for your misinformation given here in this video and at the very least write and pin a comment clearing up the fact that cost was not the problem here, user error was, and that people should fully understand their lenses and their cameras before throwing down any money for adapters, no matter the cost. Have a great day.
Hey thanks for the very insightful and detailed feedback! Indeed you are correct, my lack of knowledge would definitely have spared me the wasted money and time. Still, despite my biased information, it is still of benefit to those who (like me) may not know that there are adapters with and without aperture control, and can therefore make a more informed purchase. Will pin your comment.
I also get confused because whenever i search for an adapter it gives me the opposite adapter. For isntance i want to use a Sigma Lens, and put it on a canon camera. but id like to buy a sigma lens that is compatible for sony incase i switch later on. What adapter would i buy?
There aren't many standard Nikon F lenses out there (Ex: 50mm 1.8). So my question is which company has the most lenses out there currently so I can buy an adapter for. Ill be using a Nikon N2020.
Hahaha well years of practice of living (and trying to do photography) with like no money, so yeah I guess I learned a lot through it :P Maybe I should go study to be an accountant :D
Im trying to find out if my aperture ends up wider open by using the “slab of metal” .the depth of focus looks even thinner than it would on its native body but I’m not sure.
Yes, it's possible depending on the lens. There are some that have a *tiny* bit of extra travel beyond the lens stated max aperture that you can dial on the ring. I know a couple Helios are this way.
Hi first what a lovely name you have illia in arabic the name of hero and brave man Imam Ali🌷 second can you help me please i have canon camera model Eos 1100D red also i have old Sigma zoom lens Model 17-35 mm 1:2.8-4 MADE IN JAPAN ineed to fix it to my camera but i can't fix it because it is different size my question is is there any adaptor model i can use to fix it to my camera waiting for reply Thanks
Hey bud thanks so much for the kind words!!! Sounds like a sigma lens with E-mount that you want to attach to a Canon EF mount, so try looking for an EF mount to E mount adapter, should work
it's so sad how you passed some of the finest lenses out there for 1/10th of nowadays lenses prices. check the pinned comment on this video to understand why.

I don't have enough kidneys to sell... 🤣🤣🤣
Ya man you seen the prices on Sony full frame lenses :D

I'd say Canon has the biggest lineup, plus you have sigma and tamron lenses for canon as well.
I should just give you my money and have you handle it. You're so much better with it than I'll ever be xD

Don't think it's possible, the lens is physically limited to a certain opening.
Yes, it's possible depending on the lens. There are some that have a *tiny* bit of extra travel beyond the lens stated max aperture that you can dial on the ring. I know a couple Helios are this way.

Thank you so much for your reply🌷
From where i can buy it?
Waiting for reply
So it's better to buy the len of the camera brand, then thr mount adapter?
Always much better, adapters always are a compromise of some feature.
Very informative! I shoot canon and i think i will always stick with them so i may never need to invest in a adapter!
That's good to hear, and if you ever want to move to a lighter body, canon's mirrorless lineup is also catching up!
Canon for LIFE!
