I'm testing my new custom low-vignetting step-down ring for my HV20 + Baby Death Lens setup.

    any way i could get some photos of your custom ring?
  • Dr. Tae plus 2 years ago
    It's just a regular step down ring machined with a recess to fit a baby death lens closer to the camera lens.

    id really love to see some pics of your converter setup, ive been trying to find a way to get a good fisheye setup with no vig for a while now
  • Dr. Tae plus 2 years ago
    I still have a little vignetting in the lower two corners, but that's as low as it can go. I would have to zoom in or machine my baby death to get rid of the remainder--not gonna do it.

    Thats sick dude, looks so much better with less vig. What are you using, the flat thread converter?
  • Dr. Tae plus 1 year ago
    No. I machined a step down ring for a custom fit to my lens and camera. A flat thread converter can do the same thing as a long as it's not too tall, but either way you really need to customize it to get rid of the most vignetting.

    Yea but dont you lose wideness and distortion when you bring the lens closer like that. you should do a test for us, would be very appreciated
  • Dr. Tae plus 1 year ago
    There's no "testing" to do because, as you pointed out, it's a tradeoff. Do you want less vignetting at the expense of width or is the vignetting ok with you? I decided that the vignetting was too much and the loss of width is something most people wouldn't notice.

    If you think it "looks so much better with less vig" then you probably won't miss the extra width.
