Originally posted by crewl1 This pic it looks kinda semi-glossy inside, but looks like it is sectioned off. Wonder if this is how the production ones will look.
Not sure about the production ones, but the inside of the preproduction model I handled was smooth, but a very matte, and kind of "pebbled" black texture. Not sure if it was globby spray paint or the metal surface...
From experience with a Pentacon 6 (6x6 med. format) to K adapter, I know that shiny metal, even if anodized black, will still cause internal flare (which makes things softer and less contrasty, if not blown out altogether). I spray painted the interior of that adapter with industrial (automotive) matte black paint, and it made a huge difference in image quality!
