I found a couple of cheap USSR projector lenses in my city (I live in post soviet union and there are a lot of them). Bought it and started to convert them all to Canon EOS.
First lens was Triar-3 85mm f2.8. The lens has single coating, triplet scheme, Plastic case with cap and good, solid metal lens block. Little pice of metall and glass in big plastic housing. After some thought I choose old Helios 44-2 as new lens helicoid. It fits perfect to lens block. I found no good conversion samples on the net and decided to write my one.
Seems photo of process tell more about conversion than my poor english)))
Original lens helicoid.

Cut it to fit perfect into metal ring that will cover plastic case of Triar.

Also this metall rind perfect fit to helios helicoid.

Then i glued them all with epoxy glue. Thats all!)
New lens have infinity and m42 screw.

After conversation a made some test shoots. There were low light so ISO was very high (3200) so don't punish me))
All of them are post-processed, but lens seems good.

Thanks! But colours is post-processed in raw converter. It's my standard processing. Sharpness added after crop to 2000x1333.

I like it. I have a similar projector lens, I use it for macro, but I don't know how to use it directly to camera.

You need helicoid to focusing and some work with old lens barrel.

Excellent. I really like the bokeh as well. Seems the much maligned triplet lenses have a hidden magic trick!

Darn, Alexey,

those are gorgeous! First-class work! I am really enjoying those portraits, especially the earlier ones.
Do you have a Flickr account (Hint: you should have one)? I would love to add them to my favorites! Very Happy
