Fujica AX register distance?

I ask for your help again.

I have a Fujica AX mount Porst 50/1.2 I bought a long time ago to do macro (reversing lens) with a compact digital camera. I've been using it occasionally reversed on other lenses for higher than 1:1 magnifications but I'd like to try it directly on my camera (after all it's a f/1.2 lens).

I never found any adapters to mount Fujica AX lenses on other cameras, but I don't know if it's due to a short register distance or being a rather unpopular mount. As I can't find the register distance anywhere in the WWW, I'm hoping someone can share this information - or if there are any adapters available.

Thanks in advance.

Fujica X - I don't know if that's the same as AX - 43.5 mm

Yes, John, that's it! Smile

Thanks a lot.

It seems I won't find an adapter to mount it on a Canon camera... Sad

Well, I'll keep it for macro work or I'll eventually sell it to a Fujica owner.
