Fotodiox Vizelex ND Throttle Fusion Smart AF Adapter (EF to L-Mount) | Panasonic LUMIX S1

- The Fotodiox Vizelex ND Throttle Fusion Smart AF lens adapter (EF to L-mount) allows you to use your EF lenses on selected L-mount alliance cameras. In this video I have it paired with the Panasonic LUMIX S1 and my Canon 70-200mm F2.8 IS II lens.
The adapter features a built in variable ND filter, from 2-8 stops, and enables full electronic function to the lens. This includes changing aperture, auto-focus and image stabilization. With the Panasonic S1, single auto-focus is supported, but continuous auto-focus is not.
The adapter has a geared rotating ring for the variable ND, making it compatible with follow focus systems.
The adapter also has a micro USB port for firmware updates.
Finally, it comes with this wooden box to store when not being used, which is a nice touch.
In this video you can see some video examples of the adapter in action with the Panasonic LUMIX S1.

CAME TO THIS VIDEO AFTER THE BM PYXIS ANNOUNCEMENT! hope i can slap this on the l-mount version
You should be able to!
This looks really useful for the new bmpcc6k Full Frame. I know bmd doesn’t offer continuous focus, but this one touch focus on the S1H. When the AF was targeting the grass and not the birds, would you say it was the adaptation/communication of Canon/panasonic that caused the hunting. Or would a Panasonic native glass produce the same results (as in it was the camera software that was choosing the grass?)
It could have been user error as well! Not 100% sure why that happened, I did this test a while ago and can't remember the exact conditions. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Thanks for the review. I like the concept of this adapter with variable ND and electronics. Swapping NDs is a hassle, so I may get this for my S1H. I have a couple wide angle lenses that can't accommodate a front ND, so the ND in the adapter will come in handy. It's good to see that the ND doesn't create the dreaded X pattern at extreme settings, which often happens with cheap variable NDs.
Q: Can you confirm the lens will envoke lens stabilization (if the lens has it)? You can easily confirm this by putting your ear to the lens to hear the motors in action.
Adapted lenses often have some kind of compromise, and continuous AF on the Lumix cameras is sporadic at best to begin with.
Thanks for watching and commenting. I don’t have this setup anymore but I do believe the adapter did allow the lens stabilisation. It just didn’t allow continuous auto focus.
Thanks for the info,
You're welcome!
Thanks for sharing this : )
My pleasure!
Nice! Thanks for sharing!! What do you think - which one is the faster and more accurat autofocus adapter: This one or the Sigma (or even the Novoflex)?
I haven't used the Novoflex so can't comment. In regards to the mc21 and fotodiox adapters, I've found them to be about the same. No night or day difference. But as I use them more I'm sure I'll discover any differences and will make another video 👍
Hi Nathan! Do you think this will work with an older Zeiss Compact Prime lens with the Ef mount on the Lumix S1H? Thanks for sharing your insights enjoyed the video!
Yes the adapter works with EF lenses. I have a set of manual Zeiss primes and they work no problem!
I have a question. If you use Canon 70/80D which has great auto focus. How mounting this adapter will impact this. Does "no auto focus" means that on a Canon 70/80d there will be no more auto-focus?... Sorry for a noob question. Thanks!
This adapter is only for EF lenses to go on L-mount cameras (like Panasonic S1). You won't be able to use this adapter on Canon 70/80D. Hope that answers your question :) Thanks for watching and comments!
You are only going to get contrast autofocus tracking is not going to be as good as it is on your canon cameras
Thanks for sharing, how about the gap beteween Canon ef and adaptor? I'm using sigma mc21, but it's not stable
I haven't had any problems with stability 👍
Would this work with the new S5II?
I would presume so, but I don't have any experience with that, sorry!
Nice review, do yo know EF- L mount adapter with continous auto focus in market?
When I owned the S1, there wasn't an adapter that supported AF-C. Not sure if anything has popped up since sorry!
is this possible to bring some link to this L-mount product ....there are so many adapters ... i am lost ! Thank you :)

So the ND doesn’t go clear? It’s always 1-8 stops?
It doesn't go clear and it is 2-8 stops. The website is incorrect. That was mentioned in the comments of the Fotodiox RUclips video for this product 👍
Does it color shift?? this video doesnt give any infomation
There are various examples in this video for you to look at.
@@YourStoryStudios ahh.. okay. I might of skim through it
@@YourStoryStudios if you do more test videos to share, having a controlled environment would be helpful to see if there is any. my impression was there is a color shift when it on or off but not between nd stops? is that accurate?
Did you have any problems with Infinity focus on wider lenses?
That wasn't something I noticed when using it.
@@YourStoryStudios Have you tried anything above 24mm? i have a xeen 16mm and 14mm and i cant focus infinity, i compared the adapter with the one without ND filter and the clean version is 2mm shorter
@@franciscopalaciosreyes5671 I've used a 12mm Laowa lens. You can check it out here: ruclips.net/video/_ZOo4agM6q8/видео.html
Any idea if it works with the S5 as well?
Yes it should! Only L-mount cameras I've heard it doesn't work on are Leica. Should work on Panasonic and Sigma fp cameras.
So it looks like a MF dum adapter and a variable ND is just as good, and far far cheaper.
It's cheaper but not necessarily as convenient. For example I can't screw variable NDs onto my Laowa 12mm lens because there is no filter thread... so I'd need a matte-box, which is expensive, and bulky etc. I also don't need to use step-up rings with filters on lenses with different filter sizes. Like many things in life, you pay for convenience!
