What do you mean by "converted a Yashica 1.7"?

I got one but it hits the protector. Can you change that?

Hello Jafalt.
Well it is (or was) a lens for the Contax/Yashica mount that I have
been grinding on..
There is a aluminium flange around the rear element, I have grinded
(?) as much of it as possible. But it still hit the
dust-protector...
So , when I was out testing it today I reckoned it could only be
used for close to middle distances..
But as I took more and pictures , I got more and more confused...
It seems as the register distance is a little different so when I
focus on an object 3 meters away the scale on the lens would show
1.5 meter...
I took this picture , focused on the mast..f5,6 it seems to me it
can focus on infinity afterall...



I will have to do some more testing to find out how use it but
sofar it looks promising..

If you're using a CRT, set "contrast" to maximum and increase
"brightness" until you can see the green aurora.

I'm viewing it on a Mac LCD, which makes it a lot easier to see.

Frits, why not make the pix brighter?

Frits,

thanks for sharing. The first picture is the most impressive. It's
my wish ever to photograph polar light, although I'am not een
hunter of auroras.

greetings, Paul
