Mirrorless digital camera sales are on the rise especially on the Asian market and thanks to Sony's first full frame mirrorless cameras (A7 and A7R) customers can now choose from a wide range of mirrorless products from low-end models to high-end performers comparable with the best DSLR cameras on the market.

What makes mirrorless cameras even more attractive is the availability of a wide range of lens adapters, which allows you to use almost any lens on this planet with your tiny interchangeable-lens camera.

Chinese photographic equipment manufacturer Shanghai Transvision, has announced in a recent press release a new lens adapter developed in cooperation with German IB/E Optics sold under their Kipon brand.

What's special about this new Kipon Baveyes 0.7x adapter is that it allows you to use full frame lenses on an APS-C mirrorless camera model without losing their original field of view due to APS-C sensor cropping.

The adapter will be compatible with Sony E-mount and Fuji X-mount cameras and will support all Nikon F, Canon EF and Leica R lenses on the market.

In addition to that, the adapter construction features 4 glass elements in 3 groups, weighs around 150g / 5.3oz and comes with a maximum f-stop pass through of 1.4.

Kipon Baveyes 0.7x adapter will hit market shelves on January 10, 2014 at a suggested retail price of around $300 / €218.

Earlier today, the company also unveiled the world's fastest interchangeable mirrorless camera lens, the IBELUX 40mm f/0.85, ideal for low-light photo sessions and artistic portraits.

The new lens will be compatible with Fuji X, Micro Four Thirds, Canon M and Sony NEX E-mount and will hit store shelves in Europe, North America, Japan and Russia on February 25, 2014 at a suggested retail price of $2,080 / €1,514.
