I am considering grinding the base of the Nikkor wideangles that I have in order to make them mountable on the 5D.
These are quite beaten-up lenses already so surely not going to be ever elected as surviving representants of the species.
The part that I am planning to grid is the one that prevents them to be mounted, that is, the solid part that protrudes from the black base of lenses such as
24mm/2.8
28mm/2
28mm/3.5
I mean NOT the lug (the part that moves and serves for the automation), only the solid fixed part that protrudes and server (presumably) as back glass and lug protection.
I am 100% sure that the part I am planning to grind has no use for mounting the lens on Canon cameras. What I am wondering about instead, is if this part in indispensable to mount the lenses on the Nikon cameras, or if it's just a protection that can be removed without problems.
Does anybody know? _________________ Orio, Administrator

Orio, my pick would be to ask Rick Oleson. Or, grind the one that is
most expendable and see....

Orio,
Along with what Chris and I have suggested, here are some points to
ponder courtesy of www.despair.com :
MISTAKES
It could be that the purpose of your life is only to serve as a warning
to others.
LOSING
If at first you don't succeed, failure may be your style.
Just kidding, but seriously, do post your results.

COMPLETE SUCCESS !!!!
I have ground the 24mm f/2.8, and now:
1- I can mount it on the 5D
2- I can focus it to infinity with it
3- I can still mount it on the FM2 and keep the exposure automatism
YO-HOO!!!!!!!
I have learned two things from this experience:
a- how to succesffuly grind a lens
b- that the past tense of "to grind" is "ground"
Now, to quote Dr. Emmett Brown, I can dedicate the rest of my life to solve the second of the Universe's big mysteries:
THE WOMEN .
p.s. I will publish a tutorial on my website. _________________ Orio, Administrator

Congrats! And a great pic, too! Is the "Mikkor" a Korean copy?
Good choice for experiment if it was... Looks like you'll be doing
some more grinding.

Yes, in fact there is just a little barrel distortion, much acceptable, I was fearing worse, I think it's quite remarkable for a non-Zeiss superwide!
The color saturation is a bit on the poor side compared to Distagons, Flektogons and MIRs, but I was expecting this, I am not a fan of Russian and German lenses without reason! _________________ Orio, Administrator
