When shooting in undimmed lighting , a indifferent density filter can be highly useful if you need to use a bombastic aperture for some nice background fuzz . A new Canon EF to Sony E - mount adapter by Fotodiox incorporates a variable ND filter so you do n’t have to buy one for each lens .
The$100 Vizilex ND Throttleis staring for hoi polloi who own either a Sony NEX or Alpha series mirrorless television camera and want to seize their Canon lens system . The unequaled part about this adapter is the built - in variable ND filter . A filter like this cuts the Inner Light strive the electron lens , which allow you to use larger aperture configurations without get to knock the shutter speed super high . This is specially utile for video , when you are limited to one shutter speed but want to shoot at , say f/1.8 for that cinematic shallow focus look . It ’s also great for shooting long exposure during the sidereal day , when the light would usually overexpose with a tiresome shutter speed .
Variable ND filter ordinarily have it away on to the front of your lens , which mean you postulate a freestanding filter for each genus Lens you own , since they all have different size riding horse . That ’s a lot of filter to buy . The Vizilex ND Throttle is a one size fit all kind of deal , since it sits behind the lens alternatively of in front .

The cock-a-hoop downside to this adapter is that autofocus and image stabilisation of Canon lens wo n’t work at all . Fotodiox may work out on a “ smart ” translation that maintains that functionality , but for now you ’ll have to live without it .
It ’s nice to see a really utilitarian lineament lend to something as boring as a lens system arranger . Sony mirrorless camera and Canon glass is a really popular combining these days , specially for filmmaking , so expect this thing to be a hot seller . [ viaPetapixel ]
