Fotodiox DLX Stretch

Fotodiox has build up a solid reputation for producing cost -effective lens adapters for cameras . The company , in an attempt to lessen the burden of swapping multiple ND's when you change your vintage lenses around has announced a new adapter which accepts pop in ND's and some slight bellowing when you want some slight macro effect -Say hello to the DLX Stretch by Fotodiox .

Designed to accept Fotodiox mini -ND filters , the new adapter basically has a small mounting platform to which you can pop and place in a ND 4 , ND 8 or ND16 filter and not worry about buying different size filters for every lens you got ., this kind of works like those lenses with gel slots at the back ,and so if you want to change your ND , you will have to remove the magnetically mounted lens in order to access the filter which sits at the end of the adapter .

And now for the macro part , first of all ,this helicoid is mostly for zoom in macro style shots by twisting the ring at the base of the adapter , this however requires the focus peaking feature as everything in this lens is manual and therefore aperture/iris , zoom and focusing should be done manually .

Fotodiox DLX Kit - petapixel

While this may not appeal to professional shooters who use OEM lenses and expensive ND filters for perfect magazine class shots , the whole package is actually aimed at novice Mirrorless camera shooters who might prefer to use older lenses , but are not in a position to buy ND filters in 3 stops for every single lens they own . Therefore the pricing at $129 is a good bargain (you get a adapter feature , ND filter options and the helicoil feature ) for what you pay for.The Fotodiox DLX stretch is available for Micro 4/3 ,Sony E and Fuji X

HTC One to sell as TD 101 at China Mobile

HTC decided to invest in such a brand by launching the One series of smartphones last year, although the company was not able to impose its own product names to certain carriers. Then, just a few days ago, the company launched the HTC One, which is going to be the company’s only One-branded handset this year, a make-or-break kind of project for the Taiwanese Android maker that’s still having a tough time fighting against the competition, especially Samsung. We were under the impression that HTC will further invest in its One brand and not budge to carrier demands anymore when it comes to changing the name of the product – in the U.S., AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile are going to sell it as the HTC One. But it looks like things aren’t necessarily so, and no, it’s not Verizon that’s going to get its way selling the One as the Droid DNA Plus, as it was recently rumored. We’re looking at China Mobile this time around, which has announced the HTC One as the HTC TD 101. That’s certa...
