Viltrox's new $199 EF- to E-mount 'smart adapter' has built-in OLED display, full AF/EXIF support and more

Accessory and optics manufacturer Viltrox has announced a new Canon EF- to Sony E-mount adapter with a built-in OLED display, full autofocus support and EXIF data transfer capabilities.

The EF-E5 Smart Mount Adapter, as Viltrox refers to it, is a fifth-generation adapter that improves upon its predecessors with new features as well as a built-in OLED display that shows the focal length, aperture and focus mode of the attached lens. The adapter supports full autofocus capabilities of EF lenses on Sony E-mount cameras, with a clever dial on the side of the adapter for switching between phase detection autofocus (PDAF) and contrast detection autofocus (CDAF) modes.

The adapter will automatically transfer EXIF data from the lens to the camera, meaning aperture adjustments made on camera should set the correct aperture on EF lenses with electronic aperture controls. The EXIF support also means IBIS is supported with compatible Sony E-mount cameras.

Viltrox has also hidden a micro USB port on the inside of the adapter that can be used to update future firmware as newer cameras and lenses are released.

The Viltrox EF-E5 Smart Mount Adapter is available today via Viltrox’s online shop for $199. It comes with front and rear caps for protecting the adapter when not in use.

Meet the 500px Global Photography Awards Technical Category Winner

The 2022 500px Global Photography Awards serves creatives working with photography and provides them a chance to showcase their skill and be rewarded for it. The second edition of the competition consisted of six categories: Technical, Storytelling, Commercial Content, Documentary, Fine Art, and Landscape. Today on the blog we’re talking with the winner of the Technical category, Mary Bel, as she walks us through the BTS of her winning image and more. Hi Mary Bel, please introduce yourself. I am pretty much a self-taught photographer from Orlando, Florida. Although I learned photography in college, I learned the basics on 35mm film, and developed my own negatives and prints in a darkroom. Now, that technique is more for enthusiasts and purists. So, when the world evolved to digital photography, it took me a while to come around, but I made the adjustment. As a single mother of two, I turned to photography as a way to find solace, peace, and as therapy. At that time, I used myself

Norway passes law requiring influencers to label retouched photos on social media

Legislators in Norway's Parliament have passed a new law , by a 72-15 vote, that will require content creators to disclose when they have retouched or added a filter to a photo. Yahoo News reports that the law will apply to influencers and advertisers alike, to address 'body pressure in society.' After garnering overwhelming support in parliament, the law will go into effect when directed by Harald V, the current King of Norway. Youth advocacy groups and Norway's Ministry of Children and Family Affairs have called for stricter measures on image editing for years, amid increasing concerns surrounding body image, mental health and low self-esteem, particularly among Norway's youths. In the legal proposal, it's stated that approximately 70,000 children and young people have mental health issues requiring treatment. In a nation of just under 5.4 million, that's a significant number of people. The proposal says that more than half of 10th-grade girls
