The Benro Aureole, originally announced in January, is officially launching on Kickstarter. The company says it is the first detachable, multi-function system that allows photographers to both adapt lenses and also use filters.

Instead of using a filter or editing technique to achieve a lo-fi look, Sean from Fotodiox went a different route and converted a 1984 Ghostbusters toy and adapted it to a mirrorless camera to create an unusual yet authentic vintage look.

Benro has announced the Aureole, what it calls the first detachable, multi-function filter adapter system that allows photographers to not only adapt lenses but also supports filters via a built-in quick loading system.

In a surprise announcement this morning, Sony unveiled the new LA-EA5 lens adapter: a Sony A-mount to E-mount adapter that promises E-Mount autofocus and burst shooting performance when using Sony's older A-mount glass, including lenses without a built-in AF motor.

Leica M mount lenses are all manual focus, but that doesn't mean you can't "add" autofocus... with the right adapter. That's what Fotodiox has created with their latest gambit: a specialized adapter that lets you focus M-mount lenses on Fujifilm cameras by moving the lens back and forth as you focus.

Accessory maker Fotodiox is known for creating some unique (if occasionally problematic) lens adapters, and they've just done it again. Their new MY7 - GFX pro fusion adapter lets you use Mamiya 7 rangefinder lenses on Fuji's medium format GFX cameras, including electronic control where possible.

This is pretty wild: the lens adapter company Techart has announced that it has created the world's first Leica M-mount to Sony E-mount autofocus adapter. That's right. Autofocus.

If you've always wanted to go crazy and creative with lens flares in your photos or videos, then Technical Farm's new Flare Adapter is for you. It's a see-through lens adapter that lets light leak into your shots from between your lens and your camera.

At the IBC 2015 trade show in Amsterdam, which just wrapped up a couple of days ago, the camera gear company Genus was showing off a prototype of a groundbreaking new product: an electronically controlled neutral density (ND) filter adapter. It was a Canon EF to Sony E lens adapter that had a dial that lets you adjust the level of ND filtration electronically.

Dan Chung of News Shooter filmed the short video above in which Genus shows off the prototype. Chung calls it "one of the most impressive things we saw at IBC this year," and "the holy grail of DSLR filmmaking."

Five years ago, the Shanghai, China-based lens adapter company Kipon became the first to offer a Canon EF to Micro Four Thirds adapter with electronic aperture control. The company is now taking its adapter another big step forward: its new Canon EF to MFT adapter is the world's first to feature autofocus.

Now, two years later, he's refreshing the Beastgrip with a new version that's even more versatile and powerful. It's called the Beastgrip Pro.

The first post I made on sensor-stack thickness wallowed deeply in PhotoGeekery. This one is meant to be of practical use so I’ll try to leave the Geek stuff out. We’ll start with the simple facts.

NOTE: This is a Geek Post. If you aren’t into geeky photo measurements, or into adapting lenses from one brand of camera to another, you’ll not be interested.

A year or two ago, I wrote a blog post where I basically showed lenses shot on adapters on other cameras aren’t acceptable for testing. If you run them through Imatest the results aren’t accurate. I suggested that reviewers shouldn’t test lenses on adapters, although obviously adapters are a great way to use interesting lenses to take pictures.

To the world of lens mount adapters comes a new creation by Adaptist. Called the Pentax K+ Multi-Mount, this adapter takes a unique approach to the mounting system allowing you to attach Nikon F-mount, Olympus OM-mount, Contax/Yashica C/Y-mount and Konica AR-mount lenses (in addition to the standard K-mount, of course) to your Pentax DSLR, all within this one integrated solution.
