Today's attack of it resulted in me buying a Volna 3 for the Kiev 88 with the notion of putting it to work on the Canon. Easy, I thought; I can simply get an adaptor and so I went and found a Pentacon 6 adaptor that would fit it.
Then I found the early Volna 3s have a screw mount that need an extra adapter to make them fit the P6 adapter.... Bah.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed it's a later lens - it looks newish, but that's no real indicator of anything.
I really must stop browsing around ebay once I've found what I'm looking for.

Heh. But, but, but, once I have an adaptor I can get other P6 lenses... it's a waste buying an expensive adaptor for one lens, it makes sense to use it for others surely...

I don't think so good idea to restrict your self. Every lens has different character to not use great Nikkor lenses , because I decided M42 only this is not too smart. Also Yashica ML lenses etc. I really want to have all kind of adapter to all kind of lenses.This is the most beautiful thing in MF lenses if you have good camera like Canon or Olympus virtually you have unlimited choice from superb manual lenses.

lens buying disease can cause serious damages to your health. Following the latest statistics from the eau (european aperture university) it leads to restricted communication abitlities with non infected persons, to a high risk of divorce and a negative bank account balance.
Typical scene: infected person comes home from work. Only a short "hello" to wife and kids. He (99% of the infected are men) goes to the computer - *tickititk* - "Ooh look, shiny things on ebay".
Too late, no healing possible...
Attila, my self restriction has nothing to do with common sense - it's the only way to survive for me

Restricted communication abilities:
That's definitely an issue that's getting bigger and bigger now as I could see it lately when meeting with our fellow member Mitchbuchanon...
Last saturday we asked 2 persons if they wanted to come with us for a walk in Bordeaux on a beautiful sunny afternoon...
Answer : "NO WAY, you're going to talk about lenses again!"
Well, I must admit they're absolutely right.

I just realised I'm using a Tamron lens with an AD-2 M42 mount, screwed into a M42/K mount adapter and then fitted to my Canon with the K/EOS adapter Yes I know I could just use the M42/EOS adapter or an AD-2 K mount, or even buy an EOS Adaptall mount, but adapters are expensive things and you just can't leave them lying around! |
