I am considering ordering a Kowa TSN-883, I have a Canon 5D mk 2.
I had a conversation with a very polite technical support person at Kowa in Torrance, California. I did not come away with a good understanding of what to do or expect to marry the TSN-83 to the 5D mk 2.
The 5D mk 2 has a "full-frame" 35 mm sized CMOS.
I fairly-well understand that I need the TSN-CM2 CE...
I was told to use the TSN-PZ with it and I assume this would be zoomed all the way out to avoid/minimize vignetting...
It seems to me that I would be better off with a non-zoom capable device than with a zoom capable device designed for a less than full-sized sized camera sensor that when used with a full-sized sensor could be zoomed but at the expense of vignetting.
So, should I try to find a (discontinued) TSN-PA2D?
Is it possible that a combination of the TSN-883 - TSN-PA2D - TSN-CM2 CE - 5D mk 2 would be an "elegant" solution?
I don't think that I should marry these two together if it is not possible to utilize the full-frame benefit of the 5D mk 2 with a minimum of elements.
Thank you kindly for reading and thank you immensely for responding.
