Hi everyone 
I have found a fairly reasonably priced Mamiya MyRapid on the Interwebz. It has fixed a 1.7/32mm Auto-Tominon lens (2.4/45mm equiv.). I'm really hesitating... Should I buy it and try to remove the lens and adapt it to my Alpha 7II? Is it a realistic prospect? I have basically no idea what the flange focal length is or how far it protrudes into the body, but the idea of potentially getting a lens from a manufacturer as reputed as Tomioka for about €90 is pretty exciting, I have to admit. What do you think? |

Welcome InigoMontoya
Half frame lens might not cover full frame.
I don't know about dollars value or rarity of camera to make assessment. Usually better not to destroy good old camera, imho.

it is f1.7 or it isn't 45mm may be an equivalent in full frame but the aperture stays the same

Use it, Rapid casettes are easy to fill with 135 films.
If it works, I think you can even sell it as a functioning camera and get some money.
edit: ok, now I see the price 90€ is actually a normal price for a fully working and tested camera.

Surprisingly it is not!
I expected the same: rapid = 24x24.
But the Mamiya Myrapid I got in my hands is a halfframe camera: 18x24mm. |

Does it work?
I have not touched these full-auto selenium cell cameras basically because: If the cell is old the camera just does not work.
