Well, Godfrey, I don't know what kind of adapter Cotty bought. I've
read from few people on Russian forums who bought cheap Chinese
adapters, that things such as incorrect infinity were being observed.
I am not saying that Cotty should be feared or panicking. In fact, I
think he is not that easily

Okay folks here's a question I'll throw to the floor.
I've finally been able to mount a fully manual wide angle lens onto my
Fuji X-E1 and I was testing with it this afternoon.
For the curious, this is what the combo looks like:

BUT if I try and 'zone'
One factor:
Many of the less expensive mount adapters allow the lens to focus past
infinity, an inexpensive way to ensure that all lenses CAN focus to infinity
by making the adapter+camera registration just a little shorter than nominal.
The idea seems to be that since most users are likely to
Godders -thanks for the reminders. Re sensor crop vs DoF - D'OH!!! Of
course. Hey my excuse is my back is bad and I'm in pain - addling my brain.
Thanks so much for that. I will do some further testing and might even
make my own set of distance markings... now where is my Dremel bwahahahahah.

Actually, the size of the sensor has nothing to
Wrong. Format ALWAYS influences apparent DOF.
Your statement is a bunch of pixel peeping hooey promulgated by experts who
have never made a photograph. If this were true, all of the BS about wanting
full frame sensors to get shallow DoF is wrong .. And the theory is
demonstrably, easily

You are saying that if I take a photo with a D800, and in lightroom
crop it down so that I'm only using the area of a u4/3 sensor, then
the apparant DoF will change?
Your
Would an incorrect lens flange-to-sensor measurement create the zone-
focus issue above?
Yes, precisely. From your description it sounds as if the adapter is
too thick and is not quite reaching infinity focus. This can be masked
in many cases because stopping down can extend DOF sufficiently to

Zone focus takes advantage of the apparent DOF from a small aperture.
Simple, or sometimes not so simple cameras that have smallish apertures,
and only use Zone focus will make a number assumptions about film size

Pretty much what i said as well.
Cotty's question resolves to is my mount registration off? And how to use
the DoF scale?
All DoF scales are created with an implicit magnification of the full format to
a reference output with a known magnification (an 8x10 inch print from the

I like that answer the best.

I've seen this article brought up over and over again on several lists in the
past two weeks. To me, the most salient statement in it is this:
What Does It Mean in the Real World?
Like a lot of laboratory testing, probably not a lot. Adapters couldn’t all
stink or people wouldn’t use them.
