There is no logic behind this project. It would make sense to make it M42 only for use on K3 (Krasnogorsk-3) 16mm camera which is available in M42 mount. Full frame out of 8mm no way. Pentax Q, perhaps. _________________ ---------------------------------

Wouldn't it have been more economical to sell the (unmodified) Bolex lens and buy an M42 zoom? All that this lns is now, is a conversation piece. Bolex lens were favourites back in the days if cine, I've even seen a CCTV unit sporting one (`C' mount?). Does this lens function at all? How about a shot through it on here? _________________ Martin.

Looks to me like the lens came off one of the last Bolex Super 8 cameras . . . the front part has a very Japanese look about it, too. I'm not certain, but I think the final Bolex Super 8s were actually made in Japan. If so, this is no great loss to the world of photography _________________ Stephen

Although I wouldn't dream of blowing the trumpet for Japan, I've got to admit that they have made some extremely fine optics over the years. (Along with some crap too!) If you're right about the last of the Bolex's being made in Japan, it's another shovel full of shame on the west's industrial capability!! We invent it, develop it, perfect it and then we let the east make it more cheaply, for us to buy, who shall we blame for that? (end of rant!) I rather liked Bolex, though I never could afford one! _________________ Martin.

To butcher a lens like this is a crime against humanity I don't like these 'maestros' at all, especially sad if they are kill a rarity. I have a 12cm Tessar , pre-war lens I never seen any other pieces, mount is butchered ....
I didn't try lens yet carefully just made a quick shoot throw window, first impression was terrible. _________________ -------------------------------
