I've been an engineer, a hands on engineer, all my life. I have a workshop at home, I enjoy engineering. I appreciate engineering. This lens conversion is engineering, and damn good engineering. A great job Dan, this is not some hack job. Cool

Yeah, you could sell that to me and I wouldn't have any idea it was a conversion. Have you given up your day job yet?

Great job Dan! It is Marek Mazur's simple and compact helicoid focus back and some autumn colors photos.







Play with wide open DOF.

Thanks Kamosor. Very nice adapter and results, indeed. What mount is it for?

In fact your adapter was the starting point for mine. At first I was thinking that adapting a diaphragm to a Visionar 100 mm. is not possible but, as far as I remember, you've posted a photo with your adapted Visionar in another post on MFlenses. That showed me that such a possibility exists and made me look for a suitable diaphragm unit.

Kamosor's is for Canon EOS

Klaus has a perfect memory. Yes, I have Canon and PK mount. My Visionar with helicoid focus has 105 mm. Mark used lens part with rubber (maybe from Rollei) and he made a helicoid's back. The mount has 2,5 mm. He can do any "analog" mount. Synthetic lubricant allows you to quickly sharpen, and the mineral is to slow close up work.
