Great review, I got mine about a month ago and I love it blows cannons away
great review, will the wheel stop when it reaches the Max or Minimum?
I like the red ring I wish my Canon adapter had that
Can i get an update as to how it’s worked out for you? I literally stumbled upon this filter and no one else has videos on it!
Great review, can you get one of these filters that will work with RF lens
There are no RF-RF drop-in adapters. If you want to use filters, they'll have to go on the front of the lens.
@@1KINDPhotography thanks for getting back to me--thats a shame because it looks like a great set up !!
What do you think?, better that circular polarizer canon? I Have the canon polarizer, for change color images.
is the focus sharp using the vnd? I have the commlite vnd and it is not sharp at 1.4-1.8. best sharpness is around 2.0. how good is this one?
Is it focusing as fast or same as the original Canon adaptor? Thanks
Focus is just as fast as the Canon. Like all EF-RF adapters, all it's doing is letting the EF lens communicate with the camera, autofocusing and providing EXIF data.
Amazing review! How solid the mounts are? Does it have any play/wiggle? Seems to be solid to me here. I have a Sony camera and considering on buying the Laowa periprobe lens which is a serious investment at $2,300. Instead of buying directly the E-mount variant, I want to go with the EF version because the E-mount version has an adapter built for it so it's not a native mirrorless lens to begin with according to the older 24mm probe lens version I've already bought. Also the probe lens can't have any sort of filter up front if I wanna keep it f14 at bright sunlight while using the 180 shutter rule in video. This also means I can sell it to any camera owner much faster than being dedicated to Sony alone. Also there is another problem with all Laowa lenses is that they don't have weather sealing in the gasket and I use my camera in humid, rainy, dusty environments all the time so this Meike has weather sealing in the E-mount end with the clear/VND filter working as an extra protection for the sensor as well.
Long story short, does the EF mount end solid/tight? Or does it have any sort of wiggle? Gonna tighten the front end of that lens anyway with a lens support but wanna know more from your first hand experience.
Mounts are solid and no issues with no play or wiggle. For me, its the same as the native lens in terms of fitment.
@@1KINDPhotography Thanks a lot, that's great news!
Thanks for the video. Do you think these drop-in filters are interchangeable with Canon's own drop-in filters? I know Breakthrough Photography has a wide arrange of drop-in filters for the Canon adapter but I'm not sure if those will work with this adapter. Thanks!
From what I was told, Canon filters will work in the adapter. Typically, these companies replicate the OEM since there's no R&D involved.
Yes. It is interchangeable.
Hi, thanks for this great video… have you tested this mount nd adapter with flash photography ? If not, could you make a small video as well on that topic. Also, is this mount is cheaper than the canon one ?
This mount is cheaper than Canon. ND filters are not meant to be used with flash as ND darkens the image. If you want to use EF lenses on R series cameras, look at the basic EF-RF adapters
bit.ly/canon_ef_rf_adapters
@@1KINDPhotography thank you so much for your response...
So do you mean that they are only for videography?
Are you really sure that they can't be used in photography use cases please, because I don't understand what could be the limitations in fact, if you could explain ?
@@skottmellins4584 Technically, you can use flash but its probably not the best option. I personally think it would be more of a hassle because you'd have to constantly adjust the ND filter to compensate for the flash. The ND filter if anything with negate the flash because you're darkening the image with the ND only to use the flash to make it properly exposed. If you had a static LED light shining at your subject, that would be the best option as you can expose properly. Ideally, those who use NDs are those who shoot in very bright outdoors conditions, go from indoor to outdoor and don't want to fiddle with settings (ie UA-camrs/Vloggers) or those who shoot indoor with a bright window behind their subject and want to bring back some of the detail what is outside that window with a ND and use video lights to properly expose the dark subject. Its also used for long exposure shots as well.
Short answer, ND can work with flash. Anything is possible...just a matter of experience and how much more work you want to do with post editing. I personally think its not the best option to be used with flash but if you want to go that route, you can.
It doesn't seem like you know what a ND filter does. Its best if you do more research on it to see if this is what you're looking for. If you're just looking to attach EF lenses to your R series camera, that is what the basic or control ring adapter is for.
Quick explanation of ND filter on the web:
- An ND filter acts like sunglasses would to your eyes, it blocks light coming into the lens like sunglasses blocks light coming into your eyes. ND stands for Neutral Density which means it blocks the light in a neutral way without changing the colour of the light.
- ND filters are particularly useful for maintaining the color effect of images while controlling the exposure in bright light conditions. A filter prevents excess light from reaching the camera sensor so photographers can shoot in a wider aperture for longer periods.
@@1KINDPhotography thank you sir for this great great response…
but I’m sorry to say that of course I know what an ND filter does.
I’m a professional videographer and photographer.
But I was just asking you that because ND filters are sometimes very great tools to make stunning photos (eventhough and you’re right, there are better options to do the job, but not always) and I’m very surprised you do not use them in your photography journey, try and you will see.
Since you introduced this great adapter, i was just thinking about photography also in regards of the quality … but I will try when I’ll have my R5C and will tell you.
Thank you again for this great and helpful video and at very soon on your tutorials.
@@skottmellins4584 there is no problem to dont use this or the original canon ef-rf adapter (nd) for flash photography (outdoors in bright sunlight). its the same like a normal ndf or v-ndf infront of the lens. the ndf or v-ndf reduces the amount of sunlight to keep the shutterspeed below or exactly on max flashsyncspeed. so u can use the full power of the flash (avoiding hss). for videography to keep the 180-degree rule....i use it exactly that way :D
im pretty sure this is what u want to hear and u already know :)
Thanks for the video. I have the original Canon adapter with the drop in feature. Do you know if the Meike drop in filter will fit on the original Canon adapter?
From what I was told, the adapters will fit in each other
@@1KINDPhotography Thanks for the quick reply!
Hi love the video thanks. I have what may seen a very very stupid question (I have this adaptor on order after watching your review) ...I do a lot of close up (not macro) photos on my full frame l glass 6d. I have a set of ef extension tubes and a set of rf tubes. would i be better off using the r tubes then the converter then the ef lens or the rf converter then the ef extencion tubes to the ef lens...........my gut feeling is it should not make any difference ? any help would be helpfull
Hi. I do not own any extension tubes but I would say, converter first and then the EF extension tubes and EF lens. I only say this because if you put the converter further from sensor, it may affect image. I could be wrong.
@@1KINDPhotography thank you it sound like its going to be try and see but you sound right
I wonder, if I could use the filter on Canon's Adapter? Have you ever tried that combination?
From what I was told by the MEIKE was that the OEM Canon filters will work on this and MEIKE's filters will work on Canon adapters. Unfortunately, I do not own the Canon branded filters/adapter so I can not test.
I was wondering if auto AF is working same as with canon adapter and is there any colour shifting ??
Auto AF works just like the Canon adapter. All the adapter does is let you adapter EF lenses, lets your lens communicate with the camera for AF and EXIF data. There is no color shift or any issues from what I have seen.
Can someone explain the following: I heard autofocus doesn't work unless you have the clear filter. But I wanted to use the variable ND for filming, with autofocus. Will this be impossible? Also can I use the variable ND with autofocus while shooting stills?
whether having a clear filter or ND filter, it does not affect autofocus. Autofocus is dependent on the lens you attach to the adapter. JJC sells caps that covers the opening when no filter is used and AF will still work on the camera.
if your lens has AF, it will focus with or without any filters.
is the pretty much the same as a speed booster?
No. Two completely different things.
The Speed Booster is for 4K crop and is meant for video usage and it costs more. There's a piece of glass in the middle that eliminates the focal length crop factor to make it more in line with the actual focal length of the lens while also giving you extra stops of light.
Drop-in Filter is just that...drop-in filters (CPL and VND). So instead of the filter being on the front of your EF lens, its in between the lens and camera. There's no need for individual VND or CPL filters for the each EF lenses you have. This has nothing to do nor affect the crop factor or focal length.
Hii.. really wanted to know an important question does Cannon drop in filters works on meike adapter .. ?
Thank you in advance
Yes, Canon filters work with the Meike
.. you should not use the canon vnd on the Komodo though. Check the videos. Horrible color shift - not correctable.
Will this work on a Tamron Ef canon mount 24-70 2.8?
Yes, this will work with 3rd party lenses as well.
is there any noticeable loss of image quality with the clear filter?
No loss of image quality. Its no different than a UV filter on front of your lens. I know there are some photographers who are against UV filters but I notice no loss of image quality.
I am a little confused. Can I use my RF glass with this product?
No. This is for EF and EF-S glass only. This is basically a basic adapter with drop-in ND or CPL filters
@@1KINDPhotography thank you
Hi, will this adaptor fit on to canon R50 ? As I have bought the R50 and I don't know much about cameras.
Yes it will as the R50 uses RF mount
Thank you for replying back, it's great help.
Hi guys,,does anyone of you using a Canon R6 with Meike VND filter rf to ef, with Tamron 24-70mm 2.8 G2?
I've been using the R6 for a while now with the Tamron 24-70 and now i got the Meike adaptor VND filter but is causing some issues. Sometimes the lens loses focus and starts making noises.. anyone having the same issue? I just updated the R6 to its latest firmware
I do believe it must be the lens. My sigma art 24-70mm doesn’t focus fast and accurate as the my canon 24-70mm ll. I might be wrong but would say it is not about the adapter. The only thing to have an eye on with this adapter + filter is the strong yellowish color cast it gives when used to the max, I saw many videos about and I got concern about it. Would love to see more videos about that .
Yes I'm using this combo R6 + meike ND adapter + the 24-70mm 2.8 G2 so far it works great,
It also works great on my eos R
Does it have cpl filter to purchase?
You can purchase the CPL separately:
- Amazon US - amzn.to/3xWtnLj
- Amazon CA - amzn.to/3MG7UKv
- Amazon UK - amzn.to/38vqc2r
Put the video at 1.25x
I can barely hear anything...
quite useless video. All we need to know is how this ND performs outside. Vignetting, x pattern and color cast.
They perform better than the Canon variants, the best performance (slightly better than the Meike one) delivers the 350$ ND from breakthrough
Especially the canon variant of the ND has at maximum level heavy color shift.
I would suggest breakthrough (except for the ND, where i would go for the included one at Meike) filters, they are incredible what they deliver like variable color filters, light pollution filter for astrophotography (the one i will pick soon! Hope its at least as good i expect it to be bcause good filters for AP light pollution cost easily 200$+, not 150) etc.
