How well would this product work for DSLR Video? I would need to be able to manually focus the lens.

I don't think it would work too well, especially on longer lenses and large aperture wide angle lenses. The front element sticks out the front of the cover, the cover is cinched behind the front element so depending on the focus ring you could have trouble moving it smoothly.

Take a close look at the little cone that has the lens at its tip. If you can rotate it, that should focus the camera.

Yes you can manually focus this lens. There are focus and zoom rings on the lens. You just need to set the camera to manual focus mode to do it.

Can't help you out here but I would suspect that the inherent DOF range in kinds of lenses would make it a good choice. You're not auto focusing with video anyway so glass quality and to some extent weight might be your considerations in buying this lens.

This film is a linear polarizer and won't work with auto focus cameras. I use mine to polarize my flash output while my lens polarizer is set orthogonal to it. This is useful for making images of dielectric materials with crystalline structure. For your purposes you probably need a circular polarizer. Cokin makes one for its p-series holders.

The lens has no focus switch - your camera probably has one and it will control the lens. Manual focus during video recording depends on whether your camera allows this.

Yes, you can focus manually. Manual focus is on the lens. Just circulate the lens, and you will manual focus the camera.

It will only work as a manual focus lens and not an autofocus. I havent looked for any manual and autofocus adapters because all the older lenses I have are strictly manual. Even though you can only shoot in manual, the adapter is worth it. :)

It works just fine on my D40 and with all the different lenses I've played with and have made some pretty amazing pictures with this for what it is. You have to put your camera in manual mode in order to use this though. Every now and then I would put on auto and attempt some pictures, sometimes working BUT my best workhhas been from manual mode. If you have any other questions , ask me!

No question, it works with and was was built for dx crop cameras like d5300 and d7100, both of which I have. However I have not tested focusing in live view or video, neither of which I use.

I have not used it for video but use it mated to a Canon 100 to 400 mm zoom, and I am very pleased with the way it allows me to control the camera to allow me to get some amazing shots. I see no reason why it would not work well in a video mode. Good Luck.

I am not sure I understand what you are asking... the camera should focus, but only manually.

Yes, I think even auto focus should work! I use it a lot with my d90 and I love it! Great to defocus too! Check if d90 and d50 accept same mounts if yes,It should work the autofocus! i am almost sure that i needs only f mount for autofocus!

Thanks for asking&#55357;&#56833;... Yeah it will work and the picture is very good,but the auto focus is not good at all

Hi personally it did not work for me. The camera becomes set back so far as a result of the mounting that focussing is a problem. For me other than macro work it was not suitable and certainly not as all round useful as I understood it to be. I returned mine for a refund

Peterson:I have the same lens and want to buy a D40 - have you figured out yet if it works. From everything I read it should work on manual focus only ?

Yes it will work just fine, but it has no "auto" functions, so you will have to set focus and the F stop yourself on the lens, not through the camera controls.
