Fantastic work Henry! Bravo!

Is the conversion a big deal?

Thanks for the compliments..

I can shoot infinity but i did some special things.. Very Happy

1. the plastic holder of the 5D MKII camera mirror was cutted for near 1mm.. so the mirror stopped only in the upper 1/3 area of the rear lens.. and goes down without a problem

If i shoot with max aperture f1.2, there is no darkening in the picture.. but if you use the aperture, you will see a small part of the image like vignetting. Thats all.

So i can use the lens as i want on the 5D MKII..

On last photokina in Cologne it tryed the new EOS 6 D on Canon counter.. no Problem with the mirror issue. Seemed to have a bit smaller mirror.

If i want to shoot without the mirror Issue on 5 D MKII , the lens after conversion and "camera- mod" can reach about 15-20 meters.

Cheers
Henry

This was a non reversible conversion.. because i destroyed the chrome ring for give the lens her identity back..

It was a breechlock FD... and has to look like a breechlock FD.. Very Happy

In the added picture you see the special adjustable new rear lens holder, which gives me the ability to really "finetune" the rear lens.. only thing i have to do, is to adjust also the internal limiters for the rest of the optical system to hold the correct distance from the rear lens..



So for me this works great, as you can see in the pictures..



Cheers
Henry

Decent way to show that excelent lens.

The portraits have some details to work on, in my taste, but the second is very good.

Thanks for sharing.

And what a lens!!!!
