Do you mind telling how LX5 performs on your Swarovski 80 and how it is linked to the DCA? Perhaps, the portlet here is not suitable for discussing those. If so, send me a PM if you don't mind. Thanks ...
There is no secret, Peter.
The original connection tube (made by Panasonic) or those from third party ( selling at ShamShuipo) are too long in length and as a result, it made serious vignetting image throughout the whole zoom range. After trial and error, I got the tube length of 23mm long finally for my DCA which could produce satisfactory full frame image except the two extreme ends. However, special attention is required, say, to adjust the position of the DCA in order to prevent the taking lens snubbing against the eyepiece. That is why; I don't recommend this DC for beginner.
LX5 performs excellently with the HD80 if you don't mind the shortcoming mentioned above. Optically, it is very sharp, but still a bit soft, when compare with my old workhorse Nikon 8400(its ED lens is supreme.). The fast/accurate focus and rapid process of raw file, LX5 wins Nikon 8400 a mile. Share.
