I would go for the waist level finder for a real retro experience.

You can also look for a lens named Domiplan but it comes in m42 mount too. They are usually cheap. It also looks like the camera is missing a viewfinder.

Hopefully they will introduce high revving V12's too.

Have you tried fitting it to a 11mm helicoid adapter combined with a 1mm m42-camera adapter? Or only the 1mm adapter. That may get infinity.
-
Yes cutting it down is one option. At your own risk. I have done so on a Triplet 5 100mm projector lens. Worked fine. Or try to find a shorter helicoid, don't know if there are any. Or skip the ...

Thanks! I see. It seems that the plastic version has a bit longer lens barrel. If you ever want to focus further out I have a few ideas.
-
I'd rather get a 16-35mm to tap into those wide mm's.
-
By the way I think 2x 25-55mm will lose infinity. I have a shorter second helicoid (Fotofox 17-31mm M42-Nex adapter) to get both infinity and close focus. This setup can be tweaked by a ...

I'm happy to be of help. I think similarly of mine. Cheers!

Nice shot! Does the Vivitar also have a short focus throw? That is a small negative for me on the Tokina.

And now they pulled the news article!

Now we can see if the longer zoom range means worse image quality or not compared to a Tamron 20-40mm.

DPR faster than the sonyalpharumors guy. He is getting slow to draw.

This one is particularly pleasant. I'm not sure if this is it but those Heliar design Ektars are intriguing.
-
It has been on my wanted list for a long time. Yeah I like how gradually smooth it is even at f/5.6 for the areas behind the plane of focus.

Lenses are optimized for a certain distance. Those with a floating lens element work well at variable distances. Using extension tubes is not good for performance with those lenses. Older simpler ...

Thanks! Yes it will probably get a lot of use, this lens has all of the qualities I like.

Trying out my new Tokina AT-X 90mm 2.5. Close focus without the 1:1 adapter.
