German version of this tutorial: http://picturechemistry.own-blog.com/minolta-md-rokkor-502-minolta-sr-review/

I made a Contax / Kiev RF to NEX Adapter today

I've used a totally broken Kiev RF from Ebay for ~5€ and glued the focusing mechanism of it with an ~2mm extension on the cheapest Leica M - NEX adapter I was able to find
If you use an MFT - Leica M or EOS M - Leica M Adapter etc. instead of the NEX - Leica M Adapter it should also fit these camera mounts.






The "extension ring" came from an old-style yellow filter




I had to remove the pin which holds the lens from the adapter first.


Then I glued them together. Extension ring was 1,9mm thick, perfect would have been 2,2mm instead


Et voila! Focus is comparable smooth, infinty sits at ~25m an minimum focusing distance is much closer than usually.

I paid less than 15€ for all parts incl. shippment. Much cheaper than the Kipon Adapters on Ebay Wink

Good for you, and interesting for DIY, since it looks like the market price for the mount is unreasonable.

Can you make 1 for me?

haha.
