Those wanting to use Canon lenses on MFT bodies rejoice - there's a new LiveLens adapter that provides powered aperture control to canon EF lenses, allowing them to be used fully with MFT bodies.

But until now, Canon users had to without aperture control when using lenses on other bodies. Canon EF mount lenses need power to activate their aperture leaves, and passive adapters simply leave the lenses stuck wide open. RedRock Micro solves this with the LiveLens Active Mount, a powered converter that lets you use your lens as it was supposed to be.

Aperture is controlled by a panel on the adapter itself, not by the camera. You do lose autofocus functions, but as the adapter is primarily meant for people shooting video, you’ll be focusing manually anyway.

Price is pretty steep though - $488 a pop.
