Pretty obvious what is sticking out.

Anyway i wouldn't bet on 1:2.8 version. Most samples i saw work on 70% abilities due to at least one foggy element inside (condensation).

Ricoh Rikenon XR 50mm f2. Won't work.

But after using pliers and cutting all extra plastic and metal off, it works fine. I believe that 135/2,8 works after that little tune too.

Yes, Rikenon XR 135/2,8 needed that little tune also and now it works just fine.

Would the Jupiter 9 be compatible with the 5d2? I like the 85mm focal length compared to the 50mm and wanted to try out the Jupiter for its affordable price.

Tomioka Auto Revuenon 55mm f/1.2, M42 lens

- Can be physically mounted on the camera? YES
- Is it possible to take pictures focusing at infinity in normal mode? YES
- Is it possible to take pictures focusing at infinity in live view mode (mirror locked up)? YES
- Is it possible to take pictures focusing at distances other than infinity? YES
- Specify the type of adapter used and it's origin: $8 aluminum adapter from local auction site, no idea of the origin

Testing the compatibility was scary - what I did is set the camera to live view so mirror is locked up, focused to infinity, and released the mirror. Figured it'd be better if the plastics of the mirror hit the lens, rather than the glass. I think the distance between the mirror and the rear element with the lens are tiny, but enough.

Rikenon XR 28 same thing.

Revuenon 200/4 with cheap ebay af-confirm adapter->no problems at all.

Yes, it seems the spreadsheet is no more available.
When it was, there was quite a mess surely due to a bad sorting operation.
I think the best would be to retrive the original spreadsheet and work on it to sort datas correctly and then put it back on line but without public modification access.

Hi

I made the original spread sheet, I didn't know it wasn't accessible any more. I'll take a look at the permissions.

OK, I made it so that anybody with the URL can both see it and edit it. I don't know why the permissions changed??

Anyway, sorry about that!

Hi,

My contribution:

Voigtlander Color-Ultron 50/1.8 M42:

- Can be physically mounted on the camera? YES
- Is it possible to take pictures focusing at infinity in normal mode? NO
- Is it possible to take pictures focusing at infinity in live view mode (mirror locked up)? YES
- Is it possible to take pictures focusing at distances other than infinity? YES

Hi everyone,

I'm new here to the forums as well as using MF lenses on my 5D Mark II. I just got my first MF lens & adapter in the mail today and just tested it a few minutes ago and it worked out perfectly. I'm excited to buy more MF lenses in the future and am so thankful/ happy that the members of the forum put the compatibility chart together. I'd been debating about giving MF lenses a try on my 5d Mark II for almost a year now just out of terror that I'd mess up my camera or something, so finding this list/forum was a life saver for me. Anyway sorry for the rant, here's my contribution (I apologize if I messed up the format for the review or if I happen to repeat).

Nikon

Nikkor AI-S 35mm f/2


1) Can be physically mounted on the camera?
Yes

2) Is it possible to take pictures focusing at infinity in normal mode?
Yes

3) Is it possible to take pictures focusing at infinity in live view mode (mirror locked up)?
Yes

4) Is it possible to take pictures focusing at distances other than infinity? Yes

5) Specify the type of adapter used and it's origin (which seller it comes from)
I used the Fotodiox Pro Nikon to Canon EOS adapter (the one without the AF confirm chip)

Also I apologize if this isn't allowed but does anyone happen to have any affordable recommendations for an 85mm?

Hello Nike and welcome.

About 85mm, you can have a look at this topic speaking about the same question on a 5D MkII :

Can someone please help me to know if it's possible to focus the Jupiter 37a to Infinity on my 5d? It doesn't right now with the black M42 to EOS adapter I have but I don't want an adapter with glass in it so is there an adjustment that can be made to make it focus to infinity? Mine focuses to like 25 feet and that's it...Thanks for any help!!
Shocked

Voigtlander Color-Dynarex 85/2.8 QBM:

- Can be physically mounted on the camera? YES
- Is it possible to take pictures focusing at infinity in normal mode? YES

Great IQ, contrast and sharpness. These lenses can be found relatively cheap (about 60 euros), so grab them before it's too late ...
