Photos with the EA50

Hi Jody

The Novoflex adapter has manual aperture control on the adapter. It has an "aperture" ring ...I also stop down when the shutter gets too high ...In manual just don't go smaller than F16 ...the Tokina gets to F29 and you will get image degradation on tiny apertures.

Craig? I only have also manual focus on the Nikon mount so to go from closeup to infinity you turn the ring counter clockwise..is that considered "backwards" ?

OK, gotta run to a wedding now ..then another tomorrow!

OK, thanks for that. Apparently, its only Nikon ZF lenses which focus in the opposite direction to ZE lenses and most 'cine' lenses where close-up to infinity is anti-clockwise rotation.There is usually an intermediate gear available for most follow focus units to compensate for the few types of lens that do focus in the opposite direction.

Good to know, thanks. It's even a full-sized ring, brilliant. That's the one thing I love about my HM600 that the EA50 doesn't have.
