p.2 #1 · EOS to Pany G1 adapter

I have talked to JR and he claims that this adapter is EF-S compatible. However, he did not present any pictures showing an EF-S lens attached to a MFT body. Can anybody please verify this?

Happy shooting,
Yakim.

Yakim, it probably wouldn't matter, would it?? The EF-S mount is the same--but just extended into the body more as I recall. The adaptor would leave plenty of room for that extension. The big deal would be lens to sensor depth--I don't know enough about it to know if that would be right, but should be. I could use an EF-S lens (I had the 10-22) on any of my 1.6x bodies but I can also use any of my EF mount on the same cameras--so, seems it should work. Since there are no electrical contacts the lens will operate full open unless you use jcollins tip of setting aperture and dismounting while pressing the DOF button.

Not necessarily. My EF-S lenses don't mount on my Kenko extension tubes. I bought a Canon EF 12 II just to be able to do that.

I want a concrete information.

Happy shooting,
Yakim.

Got my adaptor today. I'm very happy with it--Lensbaby, TSm my 15 FE--all work great with the G1. The LB and FE are fine, size wise. The TS is large, heavy and unwieldy on it, but I still think I'll enjoy shooting with it with MF assist. Having just tried all of them (plus a couple of small primes), I'm happy I bought the adaptor.

Diane,

Do you have any EF-S lens to try it on?

Happy shooting,

Yakim, I don't. When I sold my 20D several years ago to buy my 5D I sold my 10-22. I have a 400D and a 10D converted to IR but use non-EF-s lenses on them.

I played with my tilt shift, 15 FE and Lensbaby in my garden briefly late yesterday afternoon. RAther than post the 9 photos, here's the link
http://www.pbase.com/picnic/temp_g1
if anyone wishes to see. For the TS, I did a 3 flat stitch pano which is done by moving the lens to the right and left--the camera doesn't move. Very easy to stitch. I also tilted to increase perception of DOF--did the focusing on the right side of the image (pond) and as the garden curved toward me the focus changes a bit. I also did 2 selective focus shots--one with the focus vertical to the right of center and the other I rotated the lens about 45 degrees and chose a focus down toward the left corner so the focus wedge goes at an angle in that area--as opposed to the horizontal plane of focus one would get with a normal lens.

The others are with the Sigma 15 FE--I did 2 with it open at f/2.8 and then changed the aperture by using the trick of DOF preview with chosen aperture and dismounting while holding that button--at f/5.6. Like this lens on the G1 as its not huge, gives me a relatively fast wider lens--and is not fishy on the 4/3rds sensor.

I tried the Lensbaby--not really great subjects for LB, but it gives an idea. I think the new Composer would allow better control (some think the charm of the LB is its lack of control

). I'll experiment with this, but with MF assist and stopping down a bit (you use magnetic rings in the lens to stop down), it offers some intriguing possibilties.

All in all--glad I bought the adaptor--I can use any EF lens, but probably will stick to these as I'm fairly well covered with my FDs and Hexanon.

BTW, have you straighten the 15/2.8 shots or is the fishy effect just not seen with this format?

Happy shooting,

No straightening done with FE, images as shot. The fishy effect is there just less noticable.

Me, Yakim

(can't remember if I posted the link to my experiments or not). No, I did not defish at all. It looks like the 4/3rds shows very little fishy effect. I tried taking some things that would possibly show it--just about what a normal WA lens would show on a FF.

Looks like a nice lens on MFT. Wide, small, not fishy.

And BTW, if you have a 14-XX lens, what use does the 15/2.8 have? The faster aperture?

Happy shooting,
Yakim.

That's it!! I was going to buy the Oly 17 f/2.8 just to have a wider (around 34mm FOV) faster lens than the 14-45, but the FE takes care of that until the 20 f/1.7 comes out. I have fast lens (MF FDs and a Konica) at 24, 35, 40, 50, 135) but didn't have anything wider. Its small enough, relatively, to work okay on the G1.

Hope you can find some confirmation abou the EF-S working with the EOS adaptor.

I must admit that I am a bit less enthusiastic now. During the weekend I constantly shot my 40D in LV mode using MF to mimic the experience of E-P1 with EF/EF-S lenses. Well, it was not terribly convenient. I wish Sigma would hurry and make MFT lenses. Their current FT range is rather good.

Happy shooting,
Yakim.

The 40D in LV mode is much more awkward to use than a m43 camera is. I wouldn't use it as a test on the usability of a much smaller camera specifically designed for LV use.

I was just going to say the same. Its so very easy to use MF with the G1, and I would think it would be similar with the EP-1. I don't have LV on my Canons, but from the descriptions of others using them, it seems somewhat awkward. Its not so using MF with the m4/3rds. In fact, I often prefer shooting that way than AF. YMMV however.

Thank you for letting me know. A friend of mine has the G1 and has ordered the E-P1. After he gets it, I'll pay him a visit and try it out myself.

I friend I work with has an EFs lens and says he'll bring it into the office. So hopefully I'll have an answer for you tomorrow

Got mine from jinfinance last week. Yes Canon EFs can be used with his adapter.
However, to set the aperture EFs is a little bit terrible..., it is still possible with a trick !.

I would guess the tip is the same for the EF-s and EF---that you set your aperture normally, as jcollum said,---then, as you dismount, you press the DOF preview button on the camera and hold it--this will maintain the aperture setting. Kludgy, but works--but, of course, you must have a Canon body to use it--so unless you carry one (as I did this trip--my 5D and G1), you will need to decide what you want to use and set it to carry by itself with an m4/3rds. You can't change it again until you mount it to an EOS body.

Yes jcolwell's tip applies to aperture setting.

My freind was here and both the 10-22 Efs and Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 XR Di mounted on the adapter and shot with no problems.

The 10-22 has a white line , do not use this to mount the lens to the adapter, you will find it has to be rotated about 5 degrees for the lens to actually fit the EF - G1 adapter. If you line the white line to 12 oclock the lens will not go on.

I wonder if anyone can take a picture of the E-P1, the Canon adapter and a Canon lens. If possible, also hold it in your hand or something. I just want to get an idea of the perspective of the whole complex.

TIA.
