Makinon 2.8/35-70mm & macro 1:5 beastie boy on 5DmkII

[Pancolart]

Again Minolta MD was initial mount. All removed, direct aparture ring and lever connection established. M42 mount from another lens inserted. Lens goes over infinity - i could correct that phisically but i left it there for potential Nikon usage. On Canon you only have to use macro mode a bit to move all sistem foward.

Remark: though lens seemed very good at firs glance, nearly every element needed to be cleaned from grease condensation. First shots only to give impression of impression . Separated macro ring is a cool thing.

Hi there from my daughter.

What a great effort to clean AND convert that old lens! Results are interesting, that busy bokeh can be put to good use

Great job and a cute daughter! But the bokeh is horrible!!

[Minolfan]

Your daughter is worh a lens with a less distracting bokeh!

[Pancolart]

Thanks!

Bellow showing difference between lens wide-open and close few steps. I like this kind of softness. The bronze statue is Alma Karlin.

One of these just arrived at my place, in not quite as good a condition as your copy. At 2.8 and infinity, my copy seems unusable. The only redeeming feature I can find is an affinity for bubble bokeh in some situations. I had to clean several elements, perhaps the reassembly was not 100% correct...
