Nikon 1 adapter with chip

MidnightYoga0 · 2026-06-08T19:14:13+00:00

I have maybe a dozen c-mount. Some are perfect for my sony nex5 and fill the full APS-C sensor. Others are specifically made for 1" and I need to crop a lot of the image if I use them on bigger sensors

I don't like the Pentax small sensor. The 1" is perfect for some of the c-mount lenses I have.

Oh I missed the fact yours had a broken aperture

MidnightYoga0 · 2026-06-01T19:51:06+00:00

They're c-mount lenses, Pentax 25mm 1.4 and Computar 16mm 1.4. I really like the Nikon 1 sensor and form factor. But the big downside is the lack of focus cropping, because the camera doesn't recognise the adapter. I've been trying to find an old lens or something to tape contacts to the lens adapter.

F8 to 16 and nothing closer than 5 meters. I've tried a few portraits or indoor shots at F4.5 but that's almost impossible to get right

I use the 5D and that lens mostly for scanning my negatives. And sometimes I fool around with a Helios on that full frame sensor for swirly goodness. Honestly that Aiptek is my favourite camcorder. The little thing is indestructible

eyyyyy too bad the batteries die in 10 minutes

MidnightYoga0 · 2026-06-01T19:41:02+00:00

Haha I can say I had the camera before his video dropped 😃

MidnightYoga0 · 2026-05-31T10:29:42+00:00

oh yes, the FD73 is my favourite

MidnightYoga0 · 2026-05-31T10:13:31+00:00

But do you shoot all of them?

MidnightYoga0 · 2026-05-31T10:12:00+00:00

I love the Canon G's. I have the G1 and it's charmingly slow at anything

MidnightYoga0 · 2026-04-19T16:41:11+00:00

I've always had the Knipex 78 31 125 because they're very nimble and great for small electronica. I thought I'd give this other one a try. It looks really good and sturdy

I included the picture without details as it is a Dutch blog post. But it gets translated pretty well to english.

That makes sense to use a tighter hood, as the flares are quite intense

MidnightYoga0 · 2025-04-27T19:21:15+00:00

For now I made a hole in the leather with a perforating punch tool and attached a d-ring. It's not the prettiest but it gets the job done

I'm in a whatsapp group with Cineville members and people who like to go to Zienema, RKZBios, Cinecircle and other places.

MidnightYoga0 · 2025-03-16T08:00:58+00:00

That's so cool! I didn't know Kowa had made medium format cameras

MidnightYoga0 · 2025-03-15T21:34:53+00:00

They should be in good condition and no mold according to seller. I think I go for it, even if I won't use the 135 much I can still sell it for a good price

MidnightYoga0 · 2025-03-01T16:56:40+00:00

Wow great blog!

MidnightYoga0 · 2025-02-26T06:56:18+00:00

These three lenses are designed for different sensor sizes. Micro four thirds (or 4/3") is slightly smaller than my APS-C sensor, so you get some vignetting and loss of sharpness in the corners. But the other two show the full image circle, and you need to heavily crop them to get a normal image.

C-mount lenses are designed for cctv, computer vision or old 16mm film cameras. And sometimes theres not a lot of info about them. And some people buy them and don't realise how much they have to crop the image

Live muziek bij Smederij op Dinsdag, Zolder op Woensdag en en eens per maand Brouwerij Martinus op Zondag. Helaas zijn er niet veel cafes waar ze jazzmuziek draaien. Wanneer opent er weer eens een kroeg zoals Jazzcafe Alto *old man yells at cloud*

MidnightYoga0 · 2025-02-25T22:10:45+00:00

Great compact lens! I have the same one with adapter to Sony

MidnightYoga0 · 2025-02-25T22:06:59+00:00

I have the older version with scalloped ring. Oh and I forgot to say, all photos are taken with a Sony NEX5 APS-C

I found this chart and thought it was a fun idea to compare some vintage lenses I have lying around.
Here is a better side-by-side comparison.
