Shenyang China, Oct 21, 2015 –
Shenyang Zhongyi Optics (ZY Optics), a leading Chinese manufacturer of camera lenses and focal reducers, has released the version II of the Lens turbo adapters for Micro Four Thirds (M43) cameras. There will be 2 versions of the new lens turbo adapters, which are designed for lenses with Canon EF mount and Nikon F mount respectively. This adapter allows Full Frame compatible lenses to be mounted onto Mirrorless cameras with a wider angle of view and faster aperture. The New Nikon version features a silver aperture ring which is able to control the aperture of Nikon G lenses through the adapter. The adapter is compatible with cameras with Micro Four Thirds mount, including the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera (BMPCC).
Similar to the previous Zhongyi Lens Turbo (ver II), the new MFT turbo adaptor features a structure of 4 lens elements in 4 groups, including 1 extra-low dispersion element which helps in reduce the chromatic aberrations on the image. The angle of view of the camera lenses will be increased by 0.762x and the max. aperture will be improved by 1-stop. Version II of the lens turbo adapter has a complete different optical design from version 1 and a much improved coating. And the optical performance upgrades tremendously.

that may reach an acceptable perf threshold 😀
can I mount my Pentax K lenses on the EF adapter with a K to EF other adapter? I know I can mount K lenses on EOS cameras, but I do not nkow if there is restriction with this type of EF mount
“The angle of view of the camera lenses will be increased by 0.762x”
Makes no sense.
Is simple, their FoV increases on that camera from what it was before with a normal adapter.
Angle is angle. Angles do not directly translate into FLs with the same coefficient.
