  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Group Buy: Optitron2 - Wireless remote for Canon/Nikon glass

Told you all.

Just received mine. Did a quick test with 6 lenses. So far I'm very pleased. Still need to test further. Even works with my very old 180mm macro!
 
This is what I have to date.

Received mine too. Haven't had a,chance to play with it yet. Seems very solid though.

Ok I have looked at it for a bit longer...

And yes it superfiscally works but on closer inspection it seems like I am doing somethign wrong .

does everyones infinity and min focus line up with the end stops? (Test lens is a 35mm Art Sigma 1.4)

It it is my understanding that the distance markings on still lenses are not precise, and my experience has been the same. I can't speak to the Sigma specifically.

It is also my understanding that Optitron's calibration maps what would be the full rotation of the barrel to the full rotation of the Optitron. It is not attempting to map the minimum focus point to infinity. Those to points and the extremes of barrel rotation are not necessarily the same thing.

For these reasons I don't think you have anything to worry about. If you can achieve full rotation from Optitron without slamming the shit out of the lens, or coming up short on focal extremes it is probably working correctly.

Maybe Jacek will confirm or deny this.
 
hi guys so where did we get to as regards to the discount? I paid with the 10% discount but have no seen and posts about where we got to in the end

cheers

You're a smart cookie Scott ;-)
That's exactly correct. In addition- the camera remaps the lens full rotation steps count to 16bit resolution.
We match the 16bit resolution we get from the camera...
Suresh check your PM please
 
Havent read the full thread but I wonder if anybody done a video review or will do?
 
Received mine today. Looks good. Been waiting a few years to have this capability. Thanks to Jacek for developing and bringing this to market. Incredible product and price/performance... But sadly I am not shooting on DSLR lenses anymore... and am not sure how much use this will see in my hands.
If anyone missed out on this GB and wants me to pass my savings on to them - message me now. I will likely change my mind after the new year when I have time to play with it, but right now I am willing to pass it along to someone who wishes they could've gotten in on the GB but didn't.
