This is a beautiful piece of equipment, the ND wheel controller on top is so smooth, I love it. Love the fact that I can pop in any other filer so easily. The built feels very pro and rugged. I use it with my Zeiss Otus 1.4 55. Using the ND, it allows me to shoot wide open all the time!

It is not as good as Novoflex in touch and handling, and tightness and optical quality. But it is better than Fotodiox. It material higher quality than other consumer product such as Vello or KF concept. It works fine using manual lens wonderfully. It good quality product in such low price..

I like it but am not recommending it. It suffers all the famous limitations of such adapters and for most users thaz a real deal breaker. I am not "most users" and find the device to be of decent build and good optics. AF performance varies depending on choice of lens and camera body. It does NOT activate the IS in the Canon lenses that I've tried to use on it. It has - AT BEST - acceptable 'medium-slow" AF that is accurate and therefor more convenient than MF but not actually faster. At worst it has no AF. But it does double the light transmission of Canon lenses and provide the full FF FoV shrunken onto an APSC sensor. All the other electronics couple properly ... aperture, FL info, exif, etc. I don't recommend it if "recommend" means I'm saying it will "answer your prayers" in the hellish world of EF-to-Emount adapters. But I do suggest you try it out and see whether it's a keeper or not. NO ONE should EVER be reticent or feel even slightly embarrassed to return an EF-to-E adapter. All the sellers know this is a bad shoot and we should thank them for not just staying totally clear of all such merchandise.

I am using it with a 200mm Canon 200mm lens. So far I have found out that it hunts a lot while trying to focus. When it does focus it is okay. I usually just go to manual when it struggles. I am getting another brand to compare it to. For me right now it is just okay. I was hoping for better.

Adapter works well with the Sony A6300 with a couple exceptions. It doesn't work in movie mode at all. In photo mode it autofocuses but only the middle section not the entire field. Significant vignetting on the edges using a Canon 300 2.8 II lens. Still worth it because how fast the A6300 focuses.

For infinity issue?light go through the lens and project on the sensor?infinity is no problem?but when you put a filter between the lens and sensor?the focus point would be offset about thickness x1/3?thickness of our ND filter is 1mm?two ND filters?so would be 2mmx1/3=0.75mm? so when insert variable ND?infinity is ok?when pull out ND filters?cannot reach infinity. this is noted it in manual instruction

The Kipon Baveyes focal reducer represents an advance over its closest competitor from Metabones. There is no edge softening even wide open and it focuses to infinity without any needed adjustment. I have not tried it with non-Canon full frame lenses. There is a USB port presumably for firmware updates but the complete lack of documentation in the package prevents confirmation of this. All in all, a solid performer.

This unique KIPON autofocus lens adapter mounts Canon EF series lenses on Sony E-Mount Mirrorless Camera bodies with the distinct ability to control f-stop and depth of field without changing aperture settings by means of a continuous variable setting neutral density glass element insert selectable by an engraved wheel.
Covering a 4 step range, the ND glass is essential for shallow DOF and beautiful bokeh and creating fantastic long exposure images. Your favorite Canon lenses easily lock securely and perform just like they were Sony lenses, maintaining infinity focus when using the ND inset element. With Canon EF lenses you have plenty of resolution to satisfy DSLR high resolution sensor's pixel size even at widest open aperture. A blank filter holder slide insert is included for custom application without infinity focus. With the ND filters for this adapter, you can accurately focus in advance, even at infinity. Without the insert, you cannot infinity focus.
The adapter relays all exposure data from the lens, such as EXIF to AF, within internal electronic connections, so that the Sony E-Mount ILC can provide any auto shooting mode, as well as stop-down metering, for accurate exposure control. The module's firmware is USB upgradable so that the adapter will always be technically ready for action.
This Kipon Adapter is constructed from aluminum alloy for durability, minimizing weight, while mounting rings are made with brass to withstand heavy use. A detachable tripod foot is included that features 3/8" threads, compatible with any tripod head. All KIPON adapters undergo the CNC turning center procedure during manufacturing to provide photographers with only the utmost precision and quality.
With the wide range of KIPON adapters, we offer photographers the freedom and compatibility of mating lenses and camera bodies that transcends different times and manufacturers. We have not only made possible the interchangeable use of products across brands but also the use of traditional film lenses of yesteryear in the digital age.
