as you can see, the first is a C/Y speedster adapted on a fz mount, and the second is an smart adapter for canon lens, powered by usb port on paw f5/f55, so there's no connection between camera and adapter.
I don't know for sure, but the IS don't work.

Looks interresting, could offer a lot of new options for F Shooters, which need stabilized lenses... I can't find any info on IS there though, i suppose it works - why would anyone buy these otherwise?

Very Interesting.

Thanks for posting.

One would buy to get an increased FOV.

To me this is very interesting as I cant stand modern plastic zooms and cant afford (or carry) cine zooms.

Im a huge fan of my 28-85 nikkor which with an increase in FOV becomes a 'one lens' solution for faster moving jobs..

Yeah, true that. i own a nikon SB for my fs700. I see the light boost as a bigger advantage than the FOV increase though. that FF blurry look always amazes me too for blurry backgrounds on interview setups I'd love to have a nikon Adapter with IS support though.

No, IS does not work. I wrote to the seller to confirm. I can see the adapter being very useful to control aperture on Canon lenses. But I agree it would be even more useful to even more people with IS power. Kind of an oversight if you ask me. Maybe in the next version....

Well, even a SB for FZ Mount (!!!) is a great thing. Seems like canon lenses will stay more future proof than i thought a year ago.
