My M42 conversion mount arrived from Tiawan. Duly fitted and been waiting on any kind of break in the heavy cloud cover we seem to have had for weeks.
Some quick shots from yesterdays brief lull.
It close focuses to 6.5 inches from sensor! Is also sharp wide open. The 58mm 1.4 needs a clean as it has fungus and light oil on the blades so no conversion yet and the 58mm 3.5 macro has some slight fungus also so may get both of them professionally done since I picked them up so cheaply. Hope to use it more in the coming weeks, it`s a keeper. I will look for the 35mm 2.8 when I have the funds, am now at the selling stage but not for these guys.

Agree about the sharpness, but the lenses also have a "pop" to them that one usually associated with Zeiss

Thanks Attila.
It was indeed a windfall looking at these results. The downside is it makes me want to sell lots of my lens and buy only Topcors if they all produce these kinds of results!
I am even wary of getting them cleaned as I`m not sure where to send them up here.
There`s more than a few of these for sale in the U.S ebay Woodrim but you are right the cost is prohibitive.
I will post more when I get the chance to take it out again. The close focusing is fun though I`m in danger of bumping the front element on something!
