Rokkor 16/2.8 on an a850

[cycletech]

Rokkor 16/2.8 on my a850 using an adapter. I can't bring myself to modify this lens to be "a" mount forever, so I use an adapter. This was wide open at 2.8.

Welcome! Can we see them in a bit bigger size?

[clockwork247]

which adaptor did you use? I'm interested to find out .

[cycletech]

I'll see if I can get a larger size up. With the Holidays it may be a bit.

The adapter is a common MD/MA one found on Ebay. It's with glass. Mine is an older production, sold under the Alibinar (sp) name. Probably produced in the late 80's.

Upload here with built in image upload function , it will be resized to 1024px , but if readers click on it genuine size will come. Around 1600px wide upload will be nice.

Pictures look good - atleast at that size and considering you used a glass adapter. Do you plan on using film in the future? If not, the lens serves little purpose with its current mount. So you either compromise the mount or compromise your pictures.

I owned one of these lenses in the MC mount, and thought it was a great lens. That was back in my camera dealer days. While I had it, I also had an SRT101 and ran at least one roll of film through that camera just to try out the lens. It was a blast.

I have some images I took with it scanned in, but they're on another computer. When I get to it later, I'll have a look and post a couple.
