If you use my affiliate links above, I'll make some fat stacks of cash without you paying any extra. I mean it's not really fat stacks but at least it's something. Gotta put food on the table ya know? Thanks for supporting my family.
Thanks A LOT!!!! You saved my day, I got that issue with my Tokina 11-16mm And now it works perfectly !!!
Please note that photo lenses do not have fixed infinity focus position (you can actuality focus further then infinity, what you probably did with your lens). This is intentional, as back focus isn't adjustable on photo lenses in any way (while it is adjustable on pro video lenses and shimming is used for cinema lenses). What you actually did by adjusting Metabones is shifting od back focus. Please note that back focus is variable with temprture of the equipment, so adjusting Metabones is not permanent fix...
I was having the same issue with my Viltrox, thought my lens was broken. Fixed!
So scary right?? Glad you got that sorted out homie
i am having same issue with my tokina viltrox gh5...how did you fix it exactly? some videos suggesting to operate tokina 11-16 but i don't want to do that. can you please share how did it fix for you?
Also, little trick, you can make any lens a macro lens by doing the oposite with that :D
Whaaaaat. Dude that's genius. You should totally make a video on that.
The only annoying this is that I cant get to to perfect infinity. It always hits infinity a little sooner, then it goes out of focus in the last little bit. Ugh.
I was just wondering about this! Thanks!
@@DanielPeacocke Thats a quirk of all lenses. I have been told by people who don't use speedboosters to focus to infinity and then dial it back a touch. So it seems everyone has that issue.
@@skatepark02 Yeah, I've recently learned its to deal with lenses being used on different cameras so sometimes infinity isnt the same from camera to camera. The extra little bit on the lens accounts for that
I know nothing about photography, but you make this so interesting, it's like another language
Yo why you so sweet? Honestly it's so nice to know you can still enjoy this even when you don't know much about the craft!
ive always had an interest in it, just never had an eye for it! so it made it tough to actually learn about it!
Thank you so much! My photography will improve no end!
I cannot find a screwdriver that fits the settings screw! What did you guys use? I tried a 1.0 and a 0.8mm. I can't find anything smaller than that! Have you got any tip?
I'm wondering as well where to find this small of a screwdriver
Hello, i may have done this wrong with my metabones ultra but in order to get the focus marker on my sigma 18-35 @18mm to infinity i had to turn the element in/clockwise 90 degrees? Should i not be using focus marker as a reference on an adapted lens?? Thanks in advance and sorry if its a stupid question!
Super helpful for not just GH5 shooters and a topic that isn't often discussed. Nice video dude. Wondering if there are any disadvantages to changing the 'back focus' of the metabones. At a certain point would it start to affect the macro abilities on the opposite side of the focal distance? hmmm...
Really appreciate you checking it out man. Yeah I'm not totally sure of the disadvantages. Over time and I can really feel the wear and tear on the ole speedbooster. It's once again struggling with infinity focus just with the Tokina 11-16. My friend has the .64 metabones and it doesn't struggle at all. Might finally be time to try that out.
Straight up - I love you. Just saved me on a shoot. I hope one of your unknown ancestors from Africa email you with a gift of millions because they have no other family to give it to. xoxoxox
hahahah THAT WOULD BE GREAT CAUSE IM POOR
Hey Buddy, may i know what screw size you are using? and do you might know the size of the 5 screws that are sided on the glass? Please save my day :(((
Very helpful. Thanks.
Hey man I was wondering. When you make this adjustment does it affect the infinity focus when you go back to using the Sigma 18-35?
Anyone know how to do this adjustment with the Viltrox NF Speedbooster? It looks like the screw is not present...
Cheers for making this video!
Thanks for watching m8
Hey Zach, I may have a similar problem like you had except my 18-35 is perfectly sharp all the way but Tokina 11-16 (new housing) can't focus to infinity at all. I have it with MB Speedbooster 0.71 ULTRA and BMPCC4K/GH4. Do you think if I change it according your instructions on SB so Tokina is sharp in infinity I will not have a problems with other lenses like Sigma 18-35?
Thanks and have a good one!
I have same problem. Did you try to correct for tokina?
@@MarkoPejovic I did not try. Too risky for me. I might sell this lens and buy some other lens in similar specifications.
hi ! I have this exact setup - Metabones ULTRA speedbooster 0.71 EF -MFT mount T and the Sigma 18-35 DC Art lens and for some unknown reason I cant attach the speedbooster to the lens. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Thanks! I will try to set up my adapter. I have such a problem.
I hope you get it figured out!
Thanks for this man! I noticed that although being unable to infinity focus, the auto focus on my GH5, Sigma combo was pretty good when that little ring was loose. Did you notice this as well? As soon as I tightened it, AF went to trash! Thanks again for the help man
Thank you!!
Of course!
I have a problem with a nikon to mft speedbooster where at set to infinity focus it hits my shutter and I can't take photos at high shutter speeds. All the photo look like their at 1/30. Do you got any tips for this?
Oh shoot I haven't heard of that problem before. Really sorry you're dealing with that man, camera struggles are so not fun
👍
I actually lost that screw. By any chance do you know the screw size?
Woof I have no idea
Zachariah Mayfield That’s fine. Adorama replaced the item.
Mine doesn't rotate like you mentioned. Took the screw out and nothing. Nothing moves.
Mine was really tough at first. Try using a cleaning cloth to get a better grip. It's pretty snug but it should work!
I don't know if you ever found a solution, but I was in the same situation and decided to try loosening the allen keys that hold the mount on in addition to the other screw and that finally allowed me to move the glass. Hope that helps!
Hey guys, i just bought a Nikon to mft metabones and tried the fix but as with you the Glass wouldnt turn. No Chance even when I took of the mount. It seems kinda loose but it does not move a single Millimeter as if there is still a screw blocking it. Sure there is no more screw.
Question: did anyone fix this issue on a Nikon speedbooster ultra?
With viltrox my Tokina 11-16 have no infinity focus
I've actually been struggling with that too. I tested the .64 speedbooster and it was fine but my .71 doesn't quite reach infinity anymore
@@ZachMayfield I have the same issue, tokina 11-16 on GH5 Viltrox .71 any aperture under like 4-5 the infinity focus is not sharp.
Thanks a lot!
was shooting @ night for the first time and with a shutter speed at 10 - 30 seconds and THEN having not perfectly focused pictures is so annoying (i have infinity focus but it is at around 97% (if near focus on the lens is 0% and far is 100%) and so i coudnt really focus.. :D ) But thank you, will try this later!
Sweet man well I hope it works for ya!
Didn't work for me :(
I took out the screw but i cant rotate the lens element.. :/
Tried it really hard to rotate and on both sides..Any idea?
Btw i have the Viltrox EF-M2 but there it should work the same
