Fotodiox Pro Lens Adapter Arri Bayonet (Arri-B) Lens to Micro Four Thirds
Aug 06, 2018
Works like it should!
I was having some issues with focusing to infinity on a brand of adapter that stars with "meta." Fotodiox has worked for me in the past for all the weird lenses I like to adapt so I gave it a try. Nice build quality, no issues with focusing on my Cooke 9-50 T2.5 & GH5s. It ended up being lighter than my old setup too. Ultimately it's just an adapter - but at least this one doesn't seem to have any major issues. I don't remember seeing it in the product photo on ebay, but it does have a lens support mount that seems to be compatible with with arca/swiss which is really nice, However the 1/4" tripod mounting hole is a bit to the side, for me this wasn't a big deal because I will just use it with a mini QR plate.

Great performance for the price. Great on mirrorless like GH2 and NEX 5N
I think this lens is great when used right. For me on the Sony NEX 5N I get a 42mm FOV which looks very natural. This lens has fine color and contrast and CR is not too big of an issue when used right. Most older lens will have strong CR when dealing with really bright highlights. At 2.8 it is decently sharp but at around f5.6 this thing can really shine and has its own look. The kit lens at around 28mm can produce similar sharpness at f5.6 however it seems to let in less light and does not have as good of corner sharpness and contrast as this old FD. I find using old MF primes much more enjoyable and for video the manual focus is much easier to use than on the real e-mount lens. But those will be better for "run and gun" video with all the fancy quiet AF motors and face tracking and etc. But for serious video work with follow focuses and stuff the value of FD and other old lens is bar none!
