Choosing a mount adapter in the mirrorless era ~ MUK camera service asks Yokohama Kannai Kosuge

By mobilephones 09/02/2023 457 Views

Muk camera service Yokohama Kannai (henceforth referred to as muk) has been introduced several times in video salon articles, but come to think of it, muk itself has not (probably) been introduced. I noticed. Mr. Kosuge from muk helped me once again in testing the second special feature on this lens, so I decided to interview Mr. Kosuge again. (Interviewer: Ichiyanagi)

(Actually, the tester, Mr. Watanabe from Multicamlaboratory, had a strained back and arrived late...)

ーーUp until now, in magazine reports, I've introduced this matter to muk as an inquiry (run away?), but when I think about it, I've never taken up muk himself. . How many years ago did Kosuge start muk here?

Are you here (Kannai, Yokohama) from the beginning?

That's right. Rent is very cheap around here. The building is also old.

ーーThere are old cameras lined up at the entrance, but did you also sell second-hand cameras?

I didn't do that. Selling mount adapters and repairing cameras. The reason I do camera repairs is that after all, there are many problems that cannot be solved just by selling adapters, and I have to take care of the camera itself and make adjustments. Unlike ordinary products, it is not perfect just by preparing it.

ーーWhere did you learn how to repair cameras?

There is a long-established camera repair shop called Tokyo Camera Service, and I trained there. About ten years ago. Before I went there, I had repaired the camera myself.

ーーWhen did you start doing things related to video?

Last time, Mr. Watanabe said that the B3 (Ikegami mount) lens was the target. It's gone. Also, in the case of B3 lenses, the pin assignment that drives the servo varies from individual to individual, so the degree of difficulty is high.

ーーThere seems to be a demand to use B4 mount zoom with E mount such as FS5 or α.

Yes. There are people who have actually seen the video salon and contacted us. There is also a mount adapter, so there is nothing you can't do. If you prepare a genuine Sony teleconverter, FS5's Super 35 may vignet a little, but it's not impossible.

ーーIf you want to use only the tele side.

That's right.

2/3 inch x 2 (extender) = 4/3

This 4/3 inch is the same as the Micro Four Thirds, so the calculation is perfect. Actually, there's not much point in using a sensor larger than that.

ーーCan vignetting not occur with GH4, but can vignetting occur with GH5 or GH5S?

ーーYou could say that many B4 mount lenses have an extender, so you can use it to your advantage. How dark does it get with the extender?

<1.4x makes it 1 stop darker, 2x makes it 2 stops darker. Most extenders are 2x, so they are 2 stops darker. There is also the fact that it gets dark, but those who use it don't like the extender. I know it will be sweet.

Well, it's not a matter of image quality, it's a feeling that you use it unavoidably to deal with it on site.

ーーUsing a GH5S with a B4 mount lens without an extender in HD with an EX teleconverter might be the best combination. I will try it today!

By the way, Mr. Kosuge, there are many examples of Fuji X-T20 recently. What kind of lens is attached to this X-T20?

Mr. Kosuge was photographed with a Russian-made cine lens attached to the X-T3. Aperture close to open. (Same as top image)

ーーThis GH5S comes with a Canon FD lens, but when you came here before, you said that the FD lens is recommended for movie people.

ーーIt looks good for Fuji's X-T3. Since it is about 40mm to 120mm in 35 conversion, it seems that you can shoot crisply by adjusting the focus. Also, it's nice that the direction of rotation is the same as many movie zoom lenses when you turn it downward with your left hand.

Hmmm, I guess you could say that Nikon is serious, or rather bad at it (laughs).

Watanabe appears when the story becomes interesting

Konchiwa, you're late. I did my waist. Let's go to lunch!

For the test results, please read the March issue of Video Salon (on sale February 20).
