My favorite lens that I have converted, the lovely Yashica Electro Yashinon DX
Used a body cap as the base, this is a relatively easy conversion to do as there are no protruding bits on the lens and it basically bolts onto the lens cap with minimal removal of excess surface areas to achieve infinity focus.
The photos from this lens are brilliant, razor sharp and very good colouring rendering in my opinion.
Want to in future do another conversion of one of these and either change the Helicoid or refit the lenses into another body so that it can manage to get a closer focusing distance.
I used the rings from a Aires 35III lens to cover up the the body cap, looks pretty clean for a conversion. |
