I just purchased this lens locally for $18 (5000 HUN. ft.) It has a scratch on the front lens element on the outer edge
otherwise it seems fine to me. Now I will need to adapt it to My Canon T3.
Maybe I will buy an Altix camera to try it on as they can be had for very little.

Thank you. I hope it will go smoothly. Fortunately philslizzy has posted information about
adapting Altix lenses here.http://forum.mflenses.com/yet-again-adapting-altix-lenses-t69770.html
There are a few pictures here on the forum. |

I found it very easy to attach an M39-EOS adapter to the back of this lens. With some effort it can be screwed on to the flaps of the lens mount. It sits very tightly. I was able to achieve precise infinity focusing (at the correct position) for this lens on the EOS body. No issues hitting the mirror on my 5DmkII, too.

Thank you. Do you have any photos of the attached lens or the adaption process? |

There's no process as such, as I just screwed the adapter on. I'll try taking pictures of the result in the next couple days, and post them here.

Hmmmm... mine does not fit at all to screw into the m39 adapter. Did you file it down a little?
Or do you mean the M42 adapter? That seems possible. |

Put the flange against the M42 adaptor,mark it with a sharpie then file gently some of the thread away, trying the lens for fit. It will slide in. I glue mine to the adaptor using hot glue at the back. That does it. If you file the adaptor well wnough you can still put M42 lenses on it.

I didn't even have to file the adapter. Just used some force to get it going, and screwed it on all the way. To my surprise, this gave me the correct infinity focusing.

Adapting is very easy. Proof of being easy is that I did it. Grinding or filing down the M42 (not M39) internal threads at the three locations allows the lens to slip in place easily. I did on one occasion force the Altix into the M42 adapter by screwing, but do not recommend it. In the case where I did it, I left the lens not fully in so I could use it closer focus. I would be concerned that screwing in might force the adapter out of perfect round or alignment, and possibly the lens not sitting perfectly flush with adapter flange.
I used a good cyanoacrylate (thick version) glue, placing several drops (maybe six) around the flange, then holding tight for 15 or 20 seconds. It holds together very well.

I hoped to screw the lens on to the M42 to EOS adapter after filing the flanges down to have a thinner edge.
However when I did that the lens easily pushed into the adapter. Therefore I glued it with a more permanent glue.
Filing down the EOS adapter would not have been as easy to do as filing down a M42 to PK adapter (which I don't
have any way). It reaches a tiny bit over infinity. I think it is a nice lens. Here are some quick shots no PP.

You haven't kept up with information. Can use M42 adapter easily by grinding threads in three places and use glue to hold. M42 to NEX about $7.

I've considered this method also, but having 3 altix lenses (35, 50, 90) I just want something sturdy that will alow me to quickly change them. So this offer won. Plus I feel that I'm doing something good for my country's economy and growth. |
