Some shots with Canon Reflex Lens 500/8

I adapted the lens mount from FD to EF and used it on my 350D.
Here are some shots to share for examples.
Just resized for all and cropped for the last one.

Good results, indeed. It never occurred to me the 500 mirror in FD might have sufficient wriggle room to adapt, when almost all the other FDs are very difficult or impossible.

Hi,

really good results and the quility is better I expected. Do you have some pictures of your coversion or a written description ?

Thank you

Thank you, Rolf and Farside.
I think it's easier to convert FD mount of the mirror lens to EF because the rare glass is not too close to the camera mount. I've just remove the FD mount and glued the EF mount from my old lens.

The first picture was taken before the conversion and the second was taken after.

Superb!

Hi,

thanks for your explanation.

Thats seems really "easy" may be due to the missing aperture mechanic. You have right, this lens is rare, I can´t remember to see one here within the last months .......

Thanks again
