p.1 #2 · p.1 #2 · Need help with regard to Zeiss Distagon ZE/ZF.2 lenses. | |
I had not heard anything about the wider ZE lenses being problematic on the Metabones IV. A friend of mine uses his ZE 15 to great success with Metabones, but he may still be using a III.
Personally, I'd say if the focus direction of the ZF's don't bother you, they'd be the better bet. They're lighter (a bit smaller as well) and you can get a good dumb adapter much cheaper. Even if you went for one with a manual aperture ring for G lenses, you'd still save some over the MB.
I would only recommend investing in Novoflex if the rotating tripod mount foot is of equal interest. If you just want an adapter, save some money and look at Fotodiox or one of the many other cheaper brands. Novoflex makes good adapters (I have FD and Contax adapters from them), but it's the flexibility of the tripod mount that sets them apart. Otherwise, they're just another metal tube.
