No, as it a) won't cover the sensor format and b) the register distance is very different (much shorter).
Conversion works on larger focal lenses from 100mm or so onwards, but needs massive machining on
the lens mounts to make a Canon or Nikon or whatever register (44-46mm usually possible, so the
lens mounts needs to be shortened quite a bit (not always possible!)

Thanks guys - well, yeah is IS highly addictive, the nicest colors, the best one to separate sth from
the background, small and easy to use, sharp focus snaps right into your face.... a real pleasure to use.

... and you designed the mount so its sort of your lens that you brought back to life now. Keep them coming, i wont get tired of it for some time. Very Happy

Beautiful. This one looks like the holy grail of old lenses, I don't think I have seen a nicer performance of any old cine lens. Have you tried it out for portraits? I would love to see how it does there.

Today a few architectural shots from a recent trip to Romania when I had that lens with me. All shots from Brasov / Transsylvania, a city I really like a lot. Note the german lettring on that warehouse in the first image, germans founded that city in the 13th century http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braşov and still that is visible up until today.









































that last one is just a "bokeh shot".



And one from "Piata Sfatului" also from Brasov



When I went home later a shot at the blue hour

Beautiful old buildings.
Funny that Hollywood-like lettering on the hill Smile

Yes indeed Orio. Old glory but no maintenance during the communist regime, sad, but is has a certain "charme". That sign was a donation by some guy once, but from there (Timpa mountain) one has a breathtaking look over the city. A cable car runs up that hill.

Not my shot, but an impressive winter shot taken from there: http://teaca.files.wordpress.com/2010/02/brasov-de-pe-timpa.jpg
