Kipon Hass>X1D adapter

[Michael H. Cothran]

Finally received my Kipon adapter. Took a quick trip to the back yard to test it out. Dark & gloomy day.
I have two Zeiss lenses to use on the Kipon  - a 135 Makro Planar and 250 Sonnar. Here are some quick shots I made.

1. !35 Makro Planar and auto bellows mounted via the Kipon
2. Color Checker Passport, shot with the 135 Makro at 1:4 ratio.
3. 250 Sonnar mounted via the Kipon. I custom made the lens support you see from a variety of RRS parts I bought years ago. It holds the lens rock solid, and relieves the camera mount of any tension. It is fully adjustable for any camera/lens combination, plus it can move fore & aft to balance on the tripod head.

I found two issues present with the Kipon adapter on the X1D -
1. I loose the B & T settings (with the electronic shutter)
2. My self timer will NOT exit after firing, even when it is set to Exit in the menu.
