Review Summary
2018-10-25T09:52:01
I have another Lens Turbo II for M42 mount, so I knew what I was getting when I wanted to pick up another for the MD mount. I haven't tried the other focal reducers available, but I don't trust the super low end ones and can't afford the Metabones. These were just right in the middle. They've given me options for wider-angles than I had access to with my crop DSLR's and you get a slight boost to light. I've not noticed any appreciable negative IQ impact, and so far, have only run into a single lens (out of over a dozen) that had a compatibility issue where the rear element hits the curved glass in the reducer. That was on a very old YS mount lens with a second adapter in between, not an ideal setup anyways.

I own two of these, one for EOS to Nex (to adapt all other lenses). The second is Minolta MD to Nex. I didn't want to convert my favorite Lens to EOS mount (Rokkor 58mm/1.2). The MD to Nex mount is not built with precision. While the adapter attaches to the a6500 without slack, the lens has a ton of slack with the adapter, up to about half a mm which can alter your focus plane for sure. Its difficult to fully recommend this. While the lens will not fall off for all day use, I was rather disappointed at the build quality given that the EOS to Nex is nearly perfect. With that said, my clients favorite pictures were taken from this combination with the rokkor lens.

How the Minolta MD Lens to Sony E-Mount Camera Turbo Mark II Adapter Enhances Your Photography Experience
The Minolta MD Lens to Sony E-Mount Camera Turbo Mark II Adapter by Mitakon is a game-changer for photographers looking to expand their creative possibilities. This adapter is specifically engineered to allow Minolta MD lenses to be seamlessly mounted onto Sony E-Mount APS-C format cameras. By doing so, it effectively increases the angle of view by 0.726x and boosts the maximum aperture by 1 f-stop, making it an invaluable tool for capturing expansive scenes and enhancing low-light performance.
Featuring a sophisticated optical design, the Lens Turbo Mark II incorporates four optical elements arranged in four groups, including one extra-low dispersion (ED) element. This configuration is crucial in condensing light from a full-frame lens and projecting it onto the APS-C sensor. As a result, it negates the typical 1.5x crop factor associated with APS-C sensors, delivering full-frame coverage and ensuring that the sensor captures all transmitted light for superior image quality.
The adapter's improved design is tailored to produce sharper images, with a rectangular rear lens positioned closer to the camera's sensor to enhance light transmission. An optimized lens coating further reduces ghosting and flare, contributing to overall improved image quality. The robust metal construction and stainless steel mounts ensure a secure attachment to both the camera and lens, minimizing any play or slack during use. Additionally, the adapter comes with front and rear protective caps for added security.
While the Lens Turbo Mark II is a manual adapter and does not support electronic communication between the lens and camera, it remains compatible with APS-C sized sensors. It can also be used with Sony full-frame mirrorless cameras, provided the camera is set to Crop Mode to fully utilize the adapter's speed-boosting capabilities.
In summary, the Minolta MD Lens to Sony E-Mount Camera Turbo Mark II Adapter is an essential accessory for photographers seeking to maximize their lens capabilities on Sony E-Mount cameras. Its ability to increase the angle of view and aperture, coupled with its high-quality construction and optical enhancements, makes it a reliable choice for achieving stunning photographic results.
