Tokina 11-16 owners...

The EOS Tokina, made for a 1.6 crop. I haven't seen any vignetting on my fs100, with the 1.5 cop sensor, and the wide end. And I haven't noticed any distortion either. Was filming in my apartment, next to a corner, and the corner was perfectly straight up and down, even at the extreme edge of the picture. Love it.

This is with a SSM 2470 lens, perhaps others differ.

Your LA-EA2 works on a FS100???

Should have been clearer, my bad. I also have a Nex 5N so i can use the adapters on that with full control that's where i noticed that the two adapters work differently with Iris control.

The LA-EA2 acts as a dumb adapter on the FS100 (aperture always wide open) where as the LA-EA1 does work on the FS100.

Cees,
Having the problem with the NOVOFLEX NEX/NIK adapter not locking in place on the FS100.
I purchased the item from B+H in brooklyn and they exchanged it for another one, but the problem is the same: it does not lock properly. I contacted NOVOFLEX in Germany, they feel it's the Sony NEX mount on the FS100. (I do not think that's the case, because the Sony lenses I have lock securely into place!)
I feel very uncomfortably using this adapter and will set it aside and write it off to a bad/expensive experience! I should have tried to purchase it here in Canada in a store and checked for proper functioning. Now it's sitting in the original box on a shelve and looking pretty!
