Wouldn't it be great if somebody with all the main adaptors. SGpro, M2, Brevis and Letus (I know there are others, but these are the ones I am more familiar with!) could shoot the same footage on the same camera so we could compare them all! It's so tricky chosing the right one as so much footage uploaded has been treated in some way (including some of my own!)

Having only had real hands on experience with one (Letus flip) I would love to try more. I am awaiting with excitiment Dennis Wood's Brevis with flip attachment!

What's wrong with the M2?

It has one Major unmitigated flaw... it's unrelenting awsomeness!

I love my M2 and would buy it again any day of the week.

The only concern with comparison is who forks out for all the adapters?
IF there was a magazine or something that got from swag, they might be able to test them all if they arrived free of charge and we tested on the exact same camera.

The M2 is relativly cheap, the company is profesisonal, their stuff doens't break down and they support it 100%... it is a bright adapter, little light loss and not all that big...

However, the adjusting of the GG back and forth for critical focus is a design flaw, and the 180 image flip is annoying, but helps the imagfe retian brightness.

it's mirrored as well as flipped isn't it?

How fiddly is the GG critical focus Matthew? Once it is set do you need to change it again if you use a different length lens?

Negative, Phil. The M2 has no flip function. Just rotate 180 degrees in post.

No, just if you swap lens brands...

do a wikipedia search on Flange Focal Length

? What should I be getting from this?

Yes!! When you coming in Wayne? I think I'm ready to buy one...would love to see it before I jump in.

Vasi.

I will have a unit ready to Demo from 1st Dec.

Let me know...

where are you based in the UK?

Sorry for not elaborating...

The GG must be moved forwards or backwards slightly to compensate for the different Flange Focal Lengths of various lens types... kind of annoying, but I still give the M2 a thumbs up.

Oh, sorry, thought you said that in response to the image flip comment, which really sent me for a loop...yes, the flange focal length, or depth of focus, of the GG must be compensated for each mount.

This is one area the SGpro has the advantage. Difference in register are machined into the mounts themselves, even the PL and OCT19, so no GG adjustment is needed.

Yeah, we were discussing a solution over at RRmicro forums. We had the nifty notion to create an expanding lewns mount that could slide forwards and backwards to accomidate any FFL and have a wideneough front plate to accomidate any mounting plate...

Nifty
