to my fav park catching the last sunrays...















16mm Cine c-mount lens, hence strong vignetting and old-type draw, but nice retro look Wink

I recently came across a Dallmeyer Super-six Anastigmat F=4" f1.9 with no conversion to modern day camera mount. If I were to sell it, should I invest in mounting the les first or just as is? I've heard that this is one of the classic lenses with awesome bokeh. It may be worth mounting it for 35mm or Medium format mirrorless body just to see for myself.

Thanks'n Regards,

Wilson

Thanks! Would you recommend investing on mounting to a popular mirrorless mount and shoot a few frames before consider on selling it or not?

I've got some basic machining skills on a mini-lathe and believe I can put something together not costing an arm and a leg.

Regards,

Thanks for your reply. Sometimes when I come across a unique lens that I have done some research on, the curiosity in me would like to put it in use to see what is 'special' that makes the lens unique. I may end up keeping the lens (more often than not) or selling it on.

I used to have the user name wilson.c but I have lost the password. I do not recall the email used to create the account for a password reset. Can you help?

Thanks'n Regards,

Wilson

I finally got this lens mounted properly. Hopefully will get some shots out of it soon for a test.
