  • New 1.4x Teleconverter.

Novoflex BALPRO T/S adapter review: Part 3 – Fun with the BALPRO T/S

Novoflex BALPRO T/S adapter review Part 3
Fun with the BALPRO T/S

guest post by Nathan Wright (ohm-image.net)

_ _ _

In part 1 of this review, I covered the design and operation of the BALPRO T/S. In part 2, I discussed how its controls apply to professional work, and to what extent it can replace, or augment larger bellow systems.

This part is all about images. Images taken when hiking. Images taken when touring around Japan’s country side .Images taken whilst drinking from high pylons overlooking Chiba Kun’s crotch.

I am not a landscape photographer. I’m not even an artist. So the images in this section should be treated as simple, sophomoric attempts at fun. And fun they were.

Every image in this part of the review was drawn by a fantastic Fujifilm wide-angle large format lens. Its spec goes like this:

135mm f/5,6
Copal 0
Fits in an iPod sock

One of the reason I love large format lenses is that they are so small and light. And they can make great images. This Fujifilm isn’t the sharpest when put on small format sensors, but it has lovely, painterly bokeh. No, not ultra smooth, but ultra brushed-on, and full of ultra earthy tones.

I has a 52mm front thread, making it instantly compatible with all of my Nikon 135 format film lenses and caps. It is sharp when shot straight on, with little tilt or shift applied. It is less than sharp when the film plane is skewed in one direction or another.

But I’m of the mind that when not being paid for producing it, sharpness isn’t that important.

Here’s how the BALPRO T/S and Fufjilm 135/5,6 combo makes a scene look toyish:

Here it is making a tree look scary:

This image was taken at a polluted reservoir made famous by Kent Shiraishi’s OSX desktop image. It is a ridiculous attempt at creating something unique when in my brain, all that burned was Blue Pond:

Easily pan-focus shooting by switching to protect filter, and allows you to easily enjoy the sophisticated art expression by switching to cloth filter and soft filter. In addition, it is also possible to use as a body cap if you choose the lens cover.

XM-FL does not communicate such as camera and data. On the camera side of the function, you may not be able to use some.

  • There is no autofocus manual focus function. (Pan Focus only)
  • Lens information is not recorded on the camera side.
  • Shooting screen (LCD monitor, viewfinder) to, F value will be displayed as “F0”.
