Based on it's huge market share?

**boriscleto** · 03-04-2016, 07:53 AM

Add $500 on top of the price of the A7RII or buy a K-1 and all three FA Limiteds and have money left over...

Seems very interesting. What adapter is this?

normhead · 03-04-2016, 08:02 AM

I Just wonder, if there's going to be a show down when the K-1 comes out. Is it easier to use a 43 on a K-1 or a Sony. How many missed shots will there be because of the loss of utility of the adapter. Will and A7II be able tp produce anything as clean a K-1 with Pixel shift?

It's right in the title of the video. A new adapter called the Techart Pro AF. Claims to be the worlds first AF adapter for MF lenses. Ignores the F 1.7x AF adapter...

The adapter is interesting in that you can switch out the mount for different lens mounts.

It is expensive today , but if it cost 100 dollars and could be used in any camera ( A6300 also be pordrá ) would seem to me reasonable .

Maybe I just missed it, but I didn't see the k mount version on their website. Can you link to it?

What lens is that? It doesn't look anything like my 43 mm f1.9 Limited.

normhead · 03-04-2016, 08:05 AM

Interesting stuff.

A guy just gave me a Super-Tak 35 3.5 because he bought the native lens from Sony and wouldn't use it anymore.

So my suspicion is people will still find it better to buy Sony glass as their end game. It will be interesting to see, if they sell many of these, and how long they will stay on the market, and if they will ever be seen as more than a stopgap solution on your way to the lens you really want.

I find it hard to believe anyone would pay for a Sony because they wanted to use a 43 ltd. when the can order a K-1 today.

i love pentax, but it is interesting the idea that someday there is only one mount, as was the m42 and I try to be the K. perhaps not sony E (which is open). but who knows maybe see Pentax cameras E mount some day

That's the LTM (Leica Thread Mount) version of the 43 LTD.

I don't know that they are even marketing it yet. The article on Petapixel says you will be able to change the mount in the adapter to support mounts other than Leica M...
