I haven't seen comments on the upcoming SG Blade on this forum, so, I thought I'd start one. I've always been a fan of Wayne Kinney. His philosophy has always been to keep the costs down on adaptors.
I've looked at the specs on the upcoming SG Blade and find that it appears to be a controlled
spin GG very much like the Ultimate.
It seems to me that all the adaptor makers are providing adjustable speed elements to their adaptors and this is a welcome characteristic to these adaptors. Price wise I'm a little hesitant to commit to the Letus Ultimate as that unit plus a relay lens for the EX3 will add up to quite a bit of dosh!
The differences between upcoming spin/shake control speeds, digital read out on these elements, quality GG (this is a very important element and all manufacturers are spending a great deal of time on this aspect of the adaptors), quietness of the units compared with their predecessors does not seem to be a giant leap in characteristics to zoom the price up there with top priced adaptors. That's just my opinion.
