5D (I) Compatibility Lens

[my_photography]

I know there is one compatibility lens chart for the new 5D mak II but I am not able to find one for the older, original 5D here. Do we have one here? Yes, I know I am a few years late but ...

If there is none, can we start with the same great format that Orio started with the 5D (II)?

(Apology to Orio)

- Can be physically mounted on the camera?
- Is it possible to take pictures focusing at infinity in normal mode?
- Is it possible to take pictures focusing at distances other than infinity?
- Specify the type of adapter used and it's origin:
- Do you think, lens surgery is possible and effective

Here is a link I found from another post in the forum. Will update with more links if I find them.

Hi here, i may help a little bit

[LucisPictor]

Since there is no live view in a 5D classic, we should omit the third question and I have added another one:

Schneider-Kreuznach Curtagon 4/28 (EXA)

All the lenses in my signature work properly incluiding infinity focus; the only one that gave trouble was the zenitar 16mm, changing the adapter solved the problem

M42 S-M-C Takumars.

5D1 mirror hits these when infinity focus:

4.5/20*, 3.5/24**, 2/35, 3.5/35, 1.4/50 <-- 3.5/24, mirror hits going up and generates "ERR"!!! 4.5/20 mirror hits sometimes; I think temperature makes the difference because no hit in Summertime, sometimes hits in Wintertime.

these work fine:

4/17, 3.5/28, macro 4/50, 1.8/55, 1.8/85, macro 4/100, 2.8/105, 2.8/120, 2.5/135, 3.5/135, 4/150, 4/200, 4/300, 5.6/400, 4.5/500

tested using both thin (1.35mm) and exact (1.45mm) M42-EF adapters.

Quick Question from a 5d owner,,
It is correct to assume more trouble (mirror jamming) on focusing on infinity on the mark1???

Thanks..

[my_photography]

[234sale]

I'm quite happy with no live view... though I admit its useful

As to my question..
Is the mirror less likely to jam against the back of the lense on the 5dmrk2?

My daily ride is a 7d,,
though I do use the 5d, but more for personal stuff..
I Have 16 m42 lenses as I have a spotmaticII in the family..

Again, thanks for your help

[visualopsins]

Welcome 234sale!

From reading here I think so. I have 5Dc too. For example, mirror hits S-M-C 50/1.4 at infinity, but not 5DII. SMC 50/1.4 is fine on both cameras. It's close I think.

Which m42 lenses?

[234sale]

Thanks for that...

These are what I have currently

Tokina 28 2.8
Super-Paragon 28 2.8
Miranda 28 2.8
Pentacon 29 2.8
Petri 35 2.8
Super-takumar 50 1.4
Pentacon 50 1.8
Yashinon 50 2
Takumar 55 2
Takumar 135 3.5
Sigma 70-210 4-5.6
Promaster 135 2.8
Optomax 300 5.5

I have extra takumars,, but these are my babies.. Want a lower f stop 28 and a 17 / 18mm if I can find one..

[visualopsins]

[234sale]

that 17mm f3.5, love it,

I want more glass, to add to my collection,, Most of my lenses are at the lower end of value.
Wanna get the 55mm 1.2,, and deffo a non-fishy 17mm 3.5

So not much similar lense to the canon ef 28mm f1.8 exisits..

Personally I see my collection as an investment,

I have 5 main canon ef lenses that I work with,
ef 100-400, ef 17-40, ef 24-105, ef 35 f1.4
efs 10-22
But they feel borring to talk about

Thanks for the help,
