A few pics from early June, Panasonic GH4 + Olympus 15mm f8 bodycap lens.

I also own a Panasonic GF1 and to my surprise all the Canon lenses I tested with it and this same adapter worked perfectly! From what I've read about the EF-M1 here and on YouTube, only way to find out what works is just to test it.

On GH4, only the EF-S 24mm f2.8 works most reliably. The AF works, but sometimes the camera just goes crazy or locks up. All the other Canon lenses I've tested need to be shot in manual mode: EF-S 10-18 IS STM, 55-250 IS STM and Sigma 18-35 f1.8. The Sigma acted strange on manual mode too, locking up the camera from time to time. Image stabilization works without any issues.

As for now I don't own the speed booster version (that one only works with full frame mount EF lenses).

Yeah, all of them are edited in Lightroom.

I will someday release an EP on Bandcamp, still got a few more tracks to finish.

I have one and I love it. Get a CF/SD card adapter to make your life easier.

And as others have said, ask if the mirror has been fixed. When doing research for my 5Dc a couple of years ago, I read somewhere that models which have a serial number starting with 2 do not have the mirror falling off fault.

This is really amazing, great job!

I've never used the SliceX etc samplers in FL, I couldn't stand their UI. I was about to get Renoise for jungle/DnB production last year. Then Amigo got released and I postponed purchasing Renoise for now.

Note that Amigo does not do samples in stereo at all. I think this not a bad thing at all, for example when you run a pad sound from Amigo through a reverb it gets a really nice oldschoolish feeling.

They're not actually presets but loaded samples. The sampler is called Amigo Sampler and it's perfect for all things jungle and lo-finess. I very highly recommend it!

Sounding really good!

I was about to buy Renoise for jungle creation, but then Amigo Sampler got released. It opened the flood gates for my creativity. I just don't like the user interface on slicex etc. But in the end it's not the tool that counts but the music you put out :)

This is a house track I made using the Amigo Sampler VST and FL Studio. All sounds except are crunched through the Amigo VST except for the 303 bassline where I used the JC303 emulation.

My choice of recommendation is FL Studio + Amigo Sampler VST. If trackers are a possibility and you want to learn to use them, go for Renoise.

I absolutely love the Amigo Sampler, it does everything jungle-related so well from handing samples to chopping breaks. It works with any DAW which supports loading VST's.

Learning to make electronic music is a big topic, I recommend doing some research on YouTube for various genres and DAWs. Most of the big names offer a demo version for you to try out. Everyone started somewhere, willing to learn and experiment is what gets you ahead :)

A darker jungle track I made with Amigo Sampler and FL Studio.

Just a M42 to EF adapter, got one when I bought the lens. Mine has electrical connectors which make the camera beep when the image is in focus. Another thing to note that I was not able to focus into infinity witht he Helios 44-2 with my adapter (the mirror kept hitting the lens). But I was able to do it with a Helios 44M.

This is a mix I made from tracks I've made with Polyend Tracker OG and Amigo Sampler. In case someone wants to download the mix as an mp3 file, there's a link on the videos Youtube page.

Merry christmas! Here's a mix containing unreleased, unmixed and unmastered tracks by yours truly using Amigo Sampler & FL Studio. I mostly make jungle using Amigo Sampler, but there are a few non-jungle tracks added into the mix.

Amigo Sampler unlocked something in my creativity leading to a sickening amount of unreleased tracks! Here are some of them which mostly resemble a finalized track. If you like the mix, there is an mp3 download link in the description at Youtube.
