How to convert MC ROKKOR-PF 58mm 1:1.4 to EOS

[TLN]

HI!

I've bought MC ROKKOR-PF 58mm 1:1.4 recently for a few bucks and looking forward what to do with it. I got canon 30d, so it'd be nice portrait lens. But i shold convert it to eos first.

Well, there's some ideas on it:

First, is quite simple. Get the mc to eos conversion kit from here. But AFAIK it's quite pricey(more then 50$) especially, when compared to lens price.
Second idea is to cenvert it by myself. What i need to get to do this. I got broken Tokina, so i can take EOS mount from it. And i can buy m42(or whatever) to EOS mount, and try with it. That'd be way cheaper.

What'd be your ideas?

Thanks in advance for your response.


BTW, can anyone show mc 58/1.4 photos from aps-c camears?

One more question: If i can use this lens on Sony alfa cameras? Do i need any adapters?

Hi, i've converted before MD mount glass to m42, but on third party glass. You should check if it hits the mirror or not.

But you can change the camera mount, so you do not have to convert the lenses.
This is much easier and completely reversible since you are using APS-C sensor camera.

well, guys, i'm almost done the conversion. just got to slice a cpacing ring. i'm doing it with a sand paper. I got a questiion:
what would if i slice a bit more then needed? i'd be able rotate the focus ring next to infinity, but what would be with my minimum focusing distance?

i.e shoud i be very very precise, while slicing the spacer?
