BOTAK_WAI Well photostet brand is now fully focusing on pentax and only add wifi capability on the new gr  sweat.gif  sweat.gif

GR is a very good camer but without native wifi capability (remote app).
So GRII is now perfect!

In fact, I am looking for GXR with M Mount module. tongue.gif

While my oly kit may be stagnent but i piling up alot on Nikon old lens and poor man leica (voigtlander) camera  rclxub.gif  rclxub.gif

By the way any brand of dry box is reliable for long them... Locally i see aipo, eureka and digi cabi. For some reason Aipo in shahinki have the best price around. While YL selling eureka and digicabi at higher premium... All i wanna know if these listed brand would last for very very long time. rclxub.gif  rclxub.gif

No where to ask so i ask here lo  cry.gif

I am using Digi Cabi for 10 years now. Still working very well.

First picture is interesting. Can you comment how far is the working distance at closest setting (Distance from the front lenses element), also it is a 1:2 macro right?

I need to measure only i can tell you that and you are right, this is 1:2 macro lens.

Anyone here using LM-M43 adapter? Any reliable brand to recommend?
The Fotga LM-M43 Adapter that I bought cannot do infinity focus. Sucks!

This is taken by GXR + Voigtlander Nokton 40mm F1.4

On the trimming part, be careful not to trim too much, always use a medium grid sandpaper for metal (dark color type) start at like 800 or 1000, then finally smoothing out with 2000 or higher.

- place sandpaper on a 100% flat surface like a glass panel
- grab the adapter on one side and place flat on the SP
- don't press too hard but use even pressure and push back n forth for like 4-5 times, check to see its even
- do the same on the other side

Then smooth out, try it out, see if IF is achievable, if negative, reduce the number of strokes, and try again.

Always make sure you smooth out before trying out. You don't want to scratch the mounting on the cam body or the lens.

Good luck!

Hmm. Sound scary work to me. Haha. I am not DIY guy tongue.gif
But thanks for your advise.

Used that.method once but I don like it.. So end up using the zoom in fn to make sure my photo in focus or not... That the only thing I dislike.. Wish oly implement peaking into first em5 cry.gif Seriously why they don't do it in the first place

So nowadays using gxr with its thumbup.gif Focus peaking to take photo fast while using af lens on em5

The GXR focus assist mode is not as easy as Sony A7II.
The magnifying mode also not clear and make the focus not accurate. I need a lot more practice.

Bringing my GXR and Voigtlander set to Finland next week. Let see what I manage to shoot.
