I don't know what mounting version it is. Back focal distance is short. Just sufficient to convert for use on M4/3, not EOS. Resolving power of this lens is very good!

I'm really curious. I've got a couple of Helios 103 and I would like to try one of them in the Pentax-Q...

I removed the chrome rear metal part of the lens first, fitted a rubber ring around the aperture ring and then insert the lens almost completely into a M52-front/M42-rear focusing helicoid. I added another M42/M42 focusing helicoid of suitable length and then adapted the whole set on my G1 (see photos inseries).

Few times in my life i had seen a series of photos with colors like this! Thanks for sharing - and i'll keep on dreaming the day when Sony makes a FF mirror-less camera to try out a lens like this,

Kipon sells a new one for $250

And I paid about $50 for a hacked together Keiv & NEX mount, it may or may-not work as planned, I'll know better when it arrives.

He is, mostly due to the complexity of the adapter.
