Meike Canon mirrorless lens adapter review
Просмотров 1748 месяцев назад
Mirrorless cameras can't directly accept DSLR lenses since the bodies are thinner due to the remove of the mirror mechanism. So, the companies have changed the lens mounts. But, the older lenses can be used with an adapter, which can be a bit costly. Fred found the Meike adapter and tried it out on his Canon R7 mirrorless camera. Here is his review!

We wished if we could see Arsenal setups more than the channel owner's faces.
But we are so good looking!! See our previous videos about the Arsenal if you wish to see more about the setups.
What is the Arsenal 2 actually aims to do is create a "fine art nature and landscape photographer" out of a monkey with a wallet who picked up their first camera last month.
That’s funny!
I completely agree!!
This is THE place to do it when there! Such a fun experience
Thank you gentlemen. AI is a joke in my opinion.
@@daryl0063 we can see both good and bad in AI. We just don’t like it used in place of human creativity!
Subscribing just because you two made me laugh. Just a couple of gentlemen with great views
Hey thanks Daryl! Appreciate the comment and welcome to The Fotobug!!
Thank you! I was considering a purchase, and I really appreciate your opinions. I will try and find your online courses instead.
Let us know if you have any questions about the course!!
Did you go across the street to the over flow storage . curious if Kermit mage any progress on the hellcat or P38 since i was there 5 years ago
No, that is currently closed to the public, sadly. They rotate the planes to be displayed now.
Love that place it's been a few years I lived I lack land . Great collecting
Thanks 👍
Paint on planes. I see old world war 2 aircraft in museums and they are SHINY. And then I see photographs/footage from the war and the planes shown are very much MATT. Why is this?
My guess is that museum aircraft are cleaned up and shined for show, but warplanes were for battle and clean and shiny wasn’t a priority!
@@TheFotobug Shiny reflects light and that means an increased chance of being seen. I wondered if it was wartime paint vs peacetime paint?
Excellent point!!
Fa-nasty?
HA! Well we screwed that up didn't we?? Should have spell checked it!! Thanks for pointing that out.
Great video! Thank you so much.
Thank you for commenting!
Gents, when one is looking to view these sorts of videos, one is looking to information about particular products. One is not looking to spend time watching someone attempt to take something out of a box, or screw it onto an adapter, just the pure information. Sadly, due to the frustration caused by the needless fluff in this video, I did not have the desire to continue to the end to ascertain whether the product was positive or not. Sorry gents but please get to the point much quicker!
Thank you for commenting! This review was done years ago and we agree with you! I believe our reviews have improved since this was taped!
@johnie2johnie: You'll reach your finish line sooner if you are that impatient. 👻
Great review. Appreciate your honesty. I think based off your recommendation, I will not be making this purchase, but will definitely check out your channel.
Thank you for commenting!
Thanks for your informative video--can u tell me what tripod panorama head you are using in the video?--im very interested--thanks guys
Thank you for subscribing and commenting! That is the Platypod head which we reviewed about a year ago or so. They are available at www.platypod.com!
thank you @@TheFotobug
Keep em coming!
Will do!
Please prepare for your vids. Great info but quite honestly painful to watch you stumble over words.
Thank you for commenting We will try to do better!
nice vid guys
Thank you!
thanks for your review now I know its not for me you saved me $450 AU
So happy to be of service!
Would you guys be willing to show us your take on toy Photography? My son is super interested in this genre 😃
vous vous êtes focalisés sur une des fonctions les moins intéressantes d' ARSENAL 2
Merci, mais ce n'est qu'une des nombreuses vidéos que nous avons publiées sur Arsenal 2 ! Veuillez consulter nos vidéos supplémentaires et notre critique complète !
Fits good on both 5D mkiii And 7Dmkii Not worth 400
Great vid
Thank you for commenting!
Thankyou for your video this really helped and saved a lot of time and money
Thank you so much for your comment!!
It really acts up over water……
Yes, it has no GPS and the bottom camera that tracks ground position is easily fooled by reflection in water!
Great interview guys. Love his work.
Thank you for the comment - glad you enjoyed the interview!!!
Not at that price!!!
Keep an eye on sales for the holidays! We saved $100 on ours on Amazon!
Thanks for the video, good job!
Thank you for the comment and for subscribing!
in the uk they will fall under the rules for sub 250 gram drones lol rid anybody
I'll be heading to the UK in March (2024) and was hoping to use it, but in England apparently you still need permission to bring one in and you need to pass an exam - even for under 250grams. Please correct me if I'm wrong!
hi you will need a operator id cost £10.33 has to be displayed on it and remote id might be in force by then or just send it sod the rules yer on holiday have a good time @@TheFotobug
@@ododargo Hi! Thanks for the update - yes the Hover Air X1 does not have remote ID - not required for under 250g here in USA - yet! Appreciate the update!
@@TheFotobug True story - I moved to Borneo 20 years ago. Tried ordering some plastic sporks from ebay, was blocked because my account is a UK. Plastic sporks are too dangerous for the UK. Could take someone's eye out with a soft plastic spork, if you try really hard and they're cooperative...
@@bigglyguy8429 That's sad and funny! I was in Borneo just a few months ago - if I had known I could have brought you some sporks!
With 200 bucks i buy a Full frame 5 d classic
A better deal! Learn to use it and you will be better off!!
I’d say the best way to describe it is that it’s a flying selfie stick.
Agreed! I believe we said something similar in the review! It does have some limited manual control and we plan on a follow up to test its limits!
Great video guys, very informative, well done 👍👍
Thank you for taking time to comment and so happy you found our review useful!!
Finally, a more recent review. Great video, thanks!
Thank you for watching and commenting!
Comes out to £380 in UK money (Yes am in the UK), a nice little cameradrone though I cannot afford it due to canal boat / life stuff. Have subbed ya channel, loved ya video, thanks for being real people 🙂
Hi and thank you for your comment. Yeah, that's a bit steep - about $475 usd. We're hoping the price may come down a bit. BTW - we don't receive any freebies for our reviews - we buy everything we review out-of-pocket! More to come!
21:00 oh i also hate vertical videos, am sure apple stuff films like that or at least it comes across that way. I don't do tiktoc or insta or anything like that, I been online since 1994 and have a #1 search on any engine website since 2003.... even today on Google too and not paid for either 🙂
Awesome Video my friends! Great tips! I plan to visit CC around January 20. Will that be a good time to see them?
The owls are pretty much there year round, but likely won’t be nesting yet. Start at the library and then make your way around the local neighborhood! Look for the pvc poles!
How’s life?-oY, epic ! 🤞
If the price were exactly the same between PD CF and the Heipi (which currently they are), would you pick one over the other? Also, would you go for the Ulanzi Zero y (with F38 head + center column upgrade) if it were only $300?
That’s a tough one to answer as we haven’t tried the PD CF although Peak Designs are excellent tripods. Same goes for the Ulanzi . I believe whichever you choose among these three you will be happy!
awesome, thank you! @@TheFotobug
@@justin-kelsey let us know what you decide !!
Can you also mirror the primary display (as opposed to extend) on the secondary display (the iPad)?
Yes you can! You choose to mirror the primary in the display section in WINDOWS!
муйняаа... я сделал в сотни раз лучше из нержавеющей пластины 10 мм толщиной, устойчивая и надёжная, а это ксиломинавая игрушка...😊🤣
Thanks
Thanks for the review. Appreciate your honest opinions. I would love to see you evaluate the panorama feature. Could the panorama feature make it worth buying?
Thanks for the comment. We will do a review on the panorama function!
Rays Up!
Thx guys for this video. I like portraiture and concerts. Is it good for that at all?
Thank you for the kind remarks, and for subscribing your channel! We have more great things coming in the near future! Stay tuned.
Thank you for a lovely time, your company and your interest in my work and what I do. Love Dazeley
Hi Peter, thank you for taking the time to appear on our show! We look forward to your book “Monochrome “!
Tks for the review , got one before I saw your post , I am still trying it out ... the jury is not out yet ..........
Just curious does it seem to be working ok? I have the sony a7rv that has no pano modes or anything besides focus stacking and auto exp bracketing and was wondering if it seems worth it so far like as a helper to reduce a little post work
Thanks for the review guys. Sounds spot on. I actually pre-ordered one, but in the months waiting for it I feel my photography skills have improved to the point I don’t need it 😂 so I was able to cancel my order and get a refund.
Hey! Glad we could help! The Arsenal does have nice features like time lapse and focus stacking but we weren’t impressed with the auto camera control.
I really enjoy watching your videos plus taking in the information you deliver seems much easier than other videos! Having just acquired an Arsenal V2 as a gift & being an R5 user myself this video helped me figure it all out. So keep it up & Thanks from Melbourne, Australia- Mo
Hey, and thanks for the kind comments! We actually have more coming up on the Arsenal version two in a couple weeks by the end of September.
Hi, Cool work! We produce photo/video plugins. Are you interested in testing it out and doing a collaboration?
Absolutely!
Medium format camera, you said? Hey Clyde shoots with ultra large format!
You are absolutely correct! At least the used to shoot large format until his stroke. He’s now even shooting digital, although he still has the same dark room set up for his large format negatives!
I echo your comments about how poor the hot shoe mount performs; I purchased the original version and lost it on the first use in the Colorado Rockies. Very disappointing to hear it’s no better with A2! 😢
So sorry to hear that!
