Every adapter that has glass in it, people always say the image quality is lost. Since this doesn't have glass, does that make a difference?

The reason they put glass in some of the adapters is because otherwise you cannot focus to infinity. If the focal plane distance in your camera is short enough to accommodate the adapter, they would not put the glass in and the image would be as good as the original lens. I never buy adapter with glass in it. You defeat the purpose of adapting a first rate lens.

I just got mine in the mail today and tried a few small videos around the house and am having video quality issues as well. I would say I'm not even getting 480i quality. The image is incredibly speckly (non-static blotches moving around in the darks). Looks the same whether I play it on my HDTV or on my computer (plenty fast for HD video). What am I doing wrong? Tried wiping the lens with a lens cloth...no effect. Batteries weren't charged yet, but since it's digital, not sure that should make a difference.Also, as a side note, do the people who are getting good quality use the digital zoom at all, or does it degrade your resolution by half?

Sorry, I do most gaming from a console, My media PC has a wireless Keyboard & trkball. Not too good for gaming.I have ran MKV Vids through the 3D converter & found no detectable lag or artifacting. Dunno if that helps but its the best I can offer. Never thought to convert a Vid Game, I might try that if I get the time & update this answer.I have an intermediate level NVidia adapter - don't remember the model but it was bout $80 3 years ago, so it's no Cadillac,Good for most MMedia, not great for gaming)

My adapter works fine, perhaps yours is damaged. Write to the seller, I guess you still have a warranty period.

Hi, though the adapter should work fine I would recommend purchasing one of higher quality; I bought this adapter and after about four months of relatively heavy use it started to fall apart. Specifically, the locking mechanism on the lens to adapter side sometimes disengages and the adapter ring has now begun to separate into two parts, the result of which is that the lens can sit at an angle from the camera body if not propped up with a finger. However, if you're looking to save money the latter problem could possibly be remedied by using a tiny screwdriver for eyeglasses, though I'm not sure as I have not yet tried.

I haven't removed the adapter. I've kept it in place underwater without the lense without any problem at all.

I never had the original, but the image quality is very very close to that of my 5DmkIII's. I have only used it in raw, not jpg, but I am blown away with the quality both at the base and at higher ISO's

Noob question, but does anyone know what glasses will be compatible? I don't want to wait til July, but I also don't want to buy an adapter on the 18th wih no glasses. Thanks!

No problem! However, I have lost 2 adapters already. They easily come off when you're not paying attention. I also change lenses underwater with no problems at all.

It is really hard to tell whether it is the adapter or the lens itself. The images I have taken so far are reasonably good. I am using Vemar and Mamiya lenses from my film days. If the old manual lenses you have are of good quality you are likely to get good images. There doesn't seem to be any drop off in light transmission. This adapter has a single, clear piece of glass in it so light loss, if any, should be minimal.

Double check your inputs. If not just run it with the regular bca to yellow/Eva into video in it will give you the same quality picture

I have used this adapter only for video data - to display what was on my computer screen on the projection screen. There was no audio data included in my projection. That said, I would check all the usual suspects - are all the cables secure? - are the speakers connected? - are the speakers on? - is the sound card ok? Is the mini HDMI-HDMI converter ok? After checking that all the mechanical pieces are right, I'd reboot everything and try again. I hope this helps. Best regards, TNF

Hello Lenia,I have had my adapter for about 3 months now, It works super and my picture quality excellent. I paid about $25.79 give or take a few cents.I give this adapter this adapter 2 thumbs up, 5☆☆☆☆☆ and a kiss on the cheek. Need I say any more? No all jokes aside it really is good and is an original SANSUNG adapter.I how this was helpful. Randy

Hi Leslie. It's not glass, but a very good kind of acrylic or plastic (very clear). The image quality is very good indeed. In my case 3X Magnification is perfect (I tried 2X and 5X and none were the right ones). Additionally the size of the lens is really good (not too big and not too small)The only thing I don't like much is the way it opens. But I can't say anything bad about the image quality. Hope this helps! If any other doubt, just ask :)

No, you have to get an adapter but it's not very expensive and the image is still excellent

I'm sorry, but I have to correct James C. Kenny's answer. It absolutely, positively matters. This adapter, as most others, CAN NOT work VGA --> HDMI. You can find some that will do VGA --> HDMI, but you'll get mixed results. The ones that do work usually have an external power supply attached.

With adapters, one must be sure the camera is set to "Release without lens". This is found in the settings menu. If that does not work, I have no suggestions.
