Well, this is the first time i read about these lenses and the samples you are showing are great ... The macros are really nice, but my preferred is the #1 ...

What about showing some pictures of the lenses and/or setup ?

All those shots are truly wonderful, particularly the spider and frog pics.

I own a Chilean Fire Tarantula and I often wondered if I could manage a decent picture of him, not I see it is perfectly possible I will have to try!

Fanatastic work, thanks for sharing!

These are impressive results! Very Happy

I just found a custom T-43 lens with m39 screw mount, can't wait to test it! Wink

Can someone share how they are adapting this lens?
Is it able to focus to infinity?

Good work!

My LTM-fit Jupiter-9 is one of the reasons I bought a mirrorless body, so I could continue to use it once I went "fully digital". I continue to look for an slr version, but they sell for too much money for my budget Sad

I've acquired a T-43, but it's still in the "pending" bin. I doubt it'll be useable on my DSLR, but it should adapt to the mirrorless with a suitable spacer Smile

I have a mirrorless camera. I thought the FFD was too short for the lens to be able to focus fully on a SLR.

However, I am looking for specifics on how to adapt the lens properly on mirrorless. All I have seen was removing the lens wrapping some tape around it and putting it into a M42 helicoid. I would think that by doing that you won't be able to focus to infinity and would have limited use of the lens.

If you're talking about the T-43, get yourself a plastic body-cap for your mirrorless, drill a decent hole in the middle of it, then glue an appropriate-length spacer to the body-cap and fit the lens to the other end of the spacer. How thick the spacer is will depend on which body you have, but you can lash something up with a piece of cardboard tube to get an idea of the measurements, then cut the spacer to suit. Cut it a millimetre or two long then trim carefully by trial and error 'till it's just right. The whole job should take well less than an hour once you've collected the materials!

More expensive options are available Wink

Good luck Smile

That solution lacks a way to focus. At that point wouldn't I be better off just using bellows?

Not if you mount the lens and shutter complete, just as it came off the camera. Simply jam the shutter open or remove the shutter blades, but retain the focussing thread and aperture mechanism, much like this :

The Lomo T-43 lens can be focused fully on a Sony E-mount camera if mounted in a short m42 helicoid. I did it with mine. However, it needs some adaptation.
Using the focussing system of the lens is not very appealing because it can't focus closer than 1m.

... that's when the helicoid, extension tubes or bellows come into play ... in the meantime the lens can be used for "normal" photography Wink
