Taken with a EM-1 and a Metabones adapter with a 50mm Canon FD macro lens. Hand held.

Metabones Canon fd to M4/3 issues.

I got a new Metabones adapter this week. It looks promising, however tht tripod foot contacts my Omd E-m1 body and has ground the corner finish off the bottom of the lens mount housing.
Also, the device is not adjusted for infinity on a perfect condition fd 35mm F2. I can adjust the body focus following instructions on their website.
Metabones has been contacted for a solution.

Update: the focus adjustment required about a 3/4 counter clockwise turn. Metabones is sending out a replacement tripod foot. If its not any different form the current one I can at least dremel one of them down or shim it out. According to Metabones they only make one size of tripod foot so lets hope its a quality issue. Still this adapter has marked up my camera body....

Update:
Metabones shipped a new foot and it has the same issue of rubbing against the camera. I guess they have never actually mounted the adapter and foot on an omd-1. This is disappointing. On to plan B.

Update Plan B:

A while with a Dremel tool grinding off the raised back part of the foot corrects the problem. Painting with non glossy black paint finishes the job. I hope Metabones fixes this for future Omd 1 users.

This is a blend of three different images at various focal points. There were more than three images taken for a focus stack that would have rendered a totally sharp flower. I selected only three for the effect I wanted. At an aperture of F8 and this magnification DOF is very shallow. A 100mm manual focus macro lens was used on a OMD-M1. Fill light was added from a silver refector. Photoshop CC was used to blend the images.

Two infrared shots merged. One focused on the wall and one on the forest. Each shot was taken at F7.1 Processed in PS CC and Lightroom. There is an amazing tool in PS for wide angle corrections. Used it and wow!
