Hi guys, i have a carl zeiss planar 1.8/50 with a rolleiflex mount .
is it possible to change the mount to 42mm or not, if so what sort of lens should i look for to steel mount from.
Or should i just put it up for sale.

Dave

I'm admit I'm not a fan of hacking perfectly good lenses, but even if you did change this one it would never be able to focus on infinity on an M42 mount, due to the shorter Rollei register distance. If it were me I'd sell it and buy an M42 CZJ Pancolar 1.8/50

But you can use it on a Canon EOS DSLR!
