Kipon Baveyes EF-FX AF ”Speedbooster” Review

By Louis Ferreira | Published: October 15, 2018

The Kipon Baveyes EF-FX ”Speedbooster” with Auto Focus works better than many of its competitors at its price point, but still has some typical lockup issues that require you to restart the camera. You can also experience some vignetting on the Fujifilm X-H1 because there is no lens correction for the IBS. Kipon makes a series of AF adapters below that all perform very similarly. If you do not want the Baveyes focal reducer there is a standard smart adapter and there is also one for the Fujifilm GFX. A beta firmware was also used in the review above.

Pros

1.05x Crop instead of 1.5
AF and Aperture Control on Canon Adapters
Not Very Expensive
All metal build that is very sturdy
Firmware updates
Results are similar to other adapters, but a little less buggy than Viltrox
Works great for video with manual focus
Pretty good AF
Good for portraiture, landscapes, architecture, family, travel, etc…

Cons

Swirly Bokeh when used with some lenses that some might not like
Video sometimes has vignetting when recording on the X-H1 due to IBIS
ND sometimes creeps into the frame due to IBIS
Not as reliable as native lens
Not great for street shooting or sports
Video AF isn’t great

Kipon Handevision IBELUX f/0.85 Mark II Roundup

By Louis Ferreira | Published: October 14, 2018

The Kipon Handevision IBELUX f/0.85 Mark II hasn’t been overly popular considering it’s crazy f/0.85 aperture. To be clear this lens is in no way designed to be as well corrected as a Leica Noctilux f/0.95, but for $1,500 it wouldn’t be. Instead, the Kipon f/0.85 is designed for photographers that like vintage looking photos with lots of character.

You’re going to get CA and some softness with a lens like this, but this lens wasn’t designed for clinical photographers. Kipon has also reduced the price over the mark one, which makes it far more accessible and from the video above the Kipon rep was telling Kai that the Kipon Handevision IBELUX f/0.85 Mark II performs much better on Fujifilm bodies than Sony, but they are unsure why. Below there is a German review that does a good job of discussing the lenses strengths and weakness, but you will have to use the subtitle translation feature if you don’t speak German.

Finally, at the very bottom, there is a video filmed on the Sony a7 that demonstrates how easily you can really blow your final image with this lens. Sony colors really don’t shine with this lens and if you shoot with a f/0.85 lens without fully understanding its characteristics than your final results will suffer greatly. Many photographers have gotten used to trusting their cameras, but a manual f/0.85 lens really requires full manual controls to get good results. They didn’t do Kipon any favors by covering this unique lens, but their video is an example of how not to use this lens.

Maybe the Kipon Handevision IBELUX f/0.85 Mark II will sell better than the first. I’m sure more would be interested in it if they could get it below $1,000, but at around $1,500 many will need more performance to justify the purchase.

Holga Instax Printer on Kickstarter

By Louis Ferreira | Published: October 12, 2018

Holga launched a kickstarter for a new manual Instax printer from them. Many of the launch rewards are still available so don’t miss out if you’re a Holga or Instax fan. It works with your cell phone and you lay your phone on top of the printer with the image showing and press the shutter button on the Holga Instax printer to transfer the image to Instax film. Then you just manually crank out the exposed Instax and wait for it to develop like any other Instax photo.
