Is Prakticar 35 / 2,4 of the same quality as the Flektogon. Mount is probably prakticar B and Is the adapter functional 5D Body

[Attila]

Yes , same lens.

PB mount lenses won't hit infinity on a Canon body as the difference in registers is too small to make a viable adapter. You can get adapters but they are too thick to allow infinity.

[muddus]

Well yeah, no guess to try to be profitable at all.

I tried thinning a PD-EOS adapter but it didn't work, the adapter would have to be 0.4mm thick, not really feasible.

I don't know how this Flektogon is constructed, but the Pentacon 2.8/135, 2,8/28 and 1.8/50 in PB mount are very easy to convert to EOS, there are four screws holding the PB mount in place, just remove them drill four holes in the right places in a cheap M42-EOS adapter and use that to replace the PB mount. You will have to reduce diameter of M42-EOS adapter a bit by filing it down, but it works and is reversible.

Very nice samples indeed! Punchy colours and pop
