For those of you wondering why there is no shift feature, it is because it is an optical design limitation. This lens uses the age old double gauss lens design, which almost every 35mm film SLR...

Good information.  Thank you.

Good to know. Thank you. Do all the earlier models have floating element design?  If not, which do?

Unfortunately I am not looking into the EF version as I will not be able to stop down the lens (in the normal fashion), as my adapter is of the dumb variety.  Very interesting that you prefer the ...

Thank you. This is interesting as most seem to prefer the concave version over anything else.  I will look into the F2.8 version as well.

Thank you.  I did not realize there were o many different versions.  I will need to read up about them.  Do you know if any have the same optical scheme?  Was the warm color shift due to the ...

Thank you for your insight.  The concave version seems to be very good according to reviews.  The price also reflects that.  I will try to look for a used one, when possible.

There are many version of Canon's FD and FDn 35mm F2.0 lenses.  Cancave front element version, SSC versions, etc.  Which is your favorite and why?

Since the adapter was pretty much useless for me, I went ahead and took it apart. You seem to be correct. It was pieced together using the rear part of a Minolta SR lens. You can see the open ...

Thank you.  I just purchased a Minolta MD/SR adapter for my camera.  You are correct.  While it does mount properly, I cannot focus anywhere near infinity, with a known good working lens.  I will ...

I have a strange adapter and what I think to be T2-Minolta SR mount.  The strange thing is that the outer casing has threads for something.  Anyone know what the threads are for? Please disregard ...

Fujifilm refuse to go Full frame because they already have MF, which is really a slightly larger full frame sensor. If they had to market three different systems, I am sure they would end up in...

Oh my.  The rubber stopper idea is brilliant.  If I don't find an actual cap (I tried to use an actually M42 cap but of course it didn't fit properly) I will definately go that route.  Thank you.

Now I have another issue regarding T-mount.  I have received the T-mount adapters and it works out quite well.  Since the T-mount adapters are adjustable via inner threads, it works out well since ...

Chefs that serve Fugu must have a license to prepare it and sell. Only about a third of those who apply pass the test.

I have spotting scopes and a microscope that use T-mount.  I also have multiple Preset lenses, as well as catadioptric lenses which all use the T-mount.  I don't know much about telescopes and ...

That is a interesting idea.  However, I ended up buying multiple T-mount adapters that came with their own rear caps.  Ended up being more affordable than buying the push on caps.  Thanks.

They do.  A bit tight, but they fit.  As for the ebay item, postage cost to the US is 6x the price of the item.  Thanks anyways.
