Simpliest any kind of adapter , like M42 or Konica etc + duck tape, focusing with feet Smile , little more sophisticated same configuration , but instead of simple adapter I use helicoid.

I'm very happy with my Meopta 70/1.4
http://forum.mflenses.com/meopta-meostigmat-1-4-70-on-ff-and-nex-via-vnex-t55218.html
I bought one off eBay, then after seeing hinnerker's conversion, I also bought one of his permanently mounted to a V-NEX, it's great fun.

When you consider how expensive the CZJ 75/1.5 and Helios 40 are its price is not that bad, though the 40 is much cheaper now days thanks to the reintroduction of the 40-2.
The lens it's self isn't that expensive, well, after checking eBay, I see they are now getting more expensive, not that I'm surprised, any lens with interesting bokeh that comes to light seems to double or triple its value over night, glad I have a spare lens.

I've not yet seen a Meostigmat on ebay for less than three figure sums!

I started using projection lenses some years ago, a Leitz Colorplan 90 was very cheap Smile
In 2010 I found out that the Meyer Diaplan and Pentacon 100mm/2,8 slide projection lenses where likely copys of the famout Trioplan 100 and wrote this on some places.
Furthermore these projection lenses could be used on Nikon and even medium format cameras without butchering a Trioplan lens!


2011 projection lenses are still cheap, I got a Som Berthiot P-Cinor 75mm f/1.8 and converted it to my DSLR.
Some of my projection lenses I bought before most people realized their usefullness, for example my Visionar 183/1.9 I got for about 40 Euro. Other cine projection lenses as well, now the prices are much higher, and I buy digital projection lenses and some old projection lenses which still can be found relatively cheap.
For example a cheap Petzval projection lens:


Currently I work with projection lenses and other lenses to build my own special lenses:

This is what I read on many manual lens forums / groups Smile

Nice Markus!

The 90mm Leitz Colorplan can still be had for cheap, but it has no special bokeh, just a wonderfully sharp lens it is!

Ok. too many beautiful pics here, so I couldn't resist any longer Smile
I bought KO-120M 120mm F1.8 lens from .bay today, and I blame you all here for causing 'just this one lens more purchace' once again. Evil or Very Mad Laughing

Anyway, any experiences with this petzval type lens, KO-120M 120mm F1.8?
Gonna try to adapt it with helicoid for my slr-cameras.
