Got this cinema projector lens for a while


I made some photographs with it, just holding the lens about 30mm from DSLR body Smile



Did someone already built some mount to use it on EOS ?
I guess pictures can be great !
and the small dof can be fine for some portraits


edit : don't worry for the girl, she is my daughter in law. you may find she looks a little sad .......... but it is just because ... she is 14 Embarassed

I don't know about this lens but some projector lenses can make very fine portrait lenses.

One of my favourite lenses is a 1950's Kershaw projector lens, a Petzval type, it makes very dreamy portraits as it has a very small dof and extremely smooth bokeh.

make a simple extension ring attachment with electrical tape and repeat again your test shoot, I think worth to try it.

What is the rear diameter of this lens?

The tricky part will be focussing - you'll need a helicoid or a very short bellows. If the lens is narrow enough you could try clamping it into a T2-m42 mount with the inner ring removed.
