The M2E can be used at any shutter speed, which is a limitation of some of redrock's competitors. This gives you maximum flexibility when shooting, no matter what speed.
While the sound of the original M2 motor is very quiet, the Encore motor is silent. Great for those dramatic moments that are easily ruined by the lightest humming. A small but important detail.
14mm, f2.8, indoors...no lighting except the sun in the windows.
Value vs. Cost
The M2Encore is an amazing value for new lens adapter buyers. It surpasses the competition at a fraction of the price. And if you are already a Redrock M2 owner, there is an upgrade kit available for $545.
Final Comments Redrock Micro has definitely set the new standard for cinema lens adapters with the M2Encore. And their commitment to their customers continues to be unrivaled. All intellectual arguments can now be thrown out the window because, in my opinion, the M2Encore is hands down, the best lens adapter out there.
