Great info! THANKS EVERYONE!
I've got an SG35 on order, so I'm waiting to see what Wayne is going to do - since the article says that he's discontinuing it and working on an advanced one.

When the new optics come in the sg35 will be much better.
I think it was set up wrong though, cause ive seen lots of footage from it that didnt show thoes gross levels of distortion, and chroma fringing. oh well i hope not! its coming in the mail any day now.......

Hey Norm,
Glad to see you got the article uploaded. Congrats on a thorough, well thought out, and honest review of two products people have looked extensively at. Great job overall. Jeremy

Good job Norm.
I can't say I was really impressed with either adapter. The SG is totally unuseable with the lack of sharpness it produced. Am I correct in saying it was the adapter and not the lens? The letus looked a lot sharper but the image was way too dark. |

Why was the m2 not included in this shootout? It's under $1000.

I'm liking my G35 beta unit more and more now...
Although it too has its share of issues. The adapters all provide a "flashing" effect that brings the blacks up. Crushing them a tad in post and exposing a stop or stop and a half above where you'd normally expose fixes the noise issue, although you always get unhappily close to blowing highlights. The gamma curve/ light response is different with the GG, and different depending on what the GG is made of. |
