No idea man... have not used Sony's converter. I'm on Lightroom 4.3 and long exposure looks nowhere as bad.

Btw... I checked your EXIF and since RX100's sensor is small in the overall scheme of things.. aperture of f2.8-f4 will give the best sharpness (f8 is already beyond diffraction limits) and ISO125 (native) gives the best dynamic range.

using Irfanview, the picture have no issue like using Sony converter but the size become too small.. 18Mb Raw file become 180Kb Jpeg size.. I try to search how to increase file size from it menu but cant find any...

RAW file no problem like above..

i'll try lightroom 4.3.. will see if it better

Like the video said... carryspeed.com tongue.gif

There's another version on lensmate using a bayonet system.

hahhhahha.. i know that.. even amazon also got (but price higher... carryspeed got discaunt now)
dont want to wait a week for a filter..

just read the review.. lots said its not that good.. the glass can cause distortion & glare..
its better to take Threaded Adapter Ring.. then we can use higher quality polarized filter and ND filter made for DLSR..
biggrin.gif


the problem now, where to get those Threaded Adapter Ring in Malaysia... doh.gif

Hmm, is it me or the case seems to be scratching some of the aluminum off the control ring? Is it possible to find a replacement in the future when it gets too ugly?

bex9432 sry to disturb you again, but i would like to know how u cut the back(lock?) (the side which u stick it to rx100) of the step-up ring. from your pic i saw it's stick to it, but i would like to know the details as well as type of tape u use.
i tried to find scotch clear double tape previously, but i can't find it even in ACE hardware shop sad.gif
oo, u walk in. i thought u do online purchase. thxs. i ady sent them inquiry.

btw, how do you cut the back connector of the step-up ring?? using machine saw?[/quote]

[/quote]

1) u need to flatten the bottom part of step ring using below item.

2) Then u need to find double sided tape (the thick one) due to its not easy to make it really flat. So, the thickness of tape will compensate it

p/s : warning, the tape quite strong and not easy to remove. Use fishing line if you want to remove it if you got better option (magfilter) or looking to increase the size.
