KhanX

Hi all of my friends,

I've just got Konica Hexanon AR 57mm f1.2 . I know that it's easy converted to Olymus 4/3 but I need to conveted to Canon too. Please recommend me how can I do it.

In your opinion, how about the quality of this lens? Could it be compared with;

Nikon AIS 50mm f1.2,

Pentax 50mm f1.2,

Olympus 50mm f1.2

or other lens with f1.2 lens on 35mm slr.

I need to take some pictures in low light and now I got Sigmatel 135mm f1.8 too.

Your opinion is my appreciated.

Thank you. Very Happy

That is the difficult question for us, the only person who did converted
Hexanon 57/1.2 is Dim.Ka at FredMiranda BBS. My memory is correct,
even so the lens cannot achieve infinity focus, of course his 5D's mirror
was shaved.

taking koji's information into consideration ...

i would not try to convert it to canon ... unless you want to wreck your lens and kill its value.

there are other ways to get 1.2 lenses for canon
