As my gear minimizes, it's going to be difficult to find anything different to post.
Week 40 Stuff. X-H1 + 90/2, black Alox Cadet and Case Tear Drop Sawcut Amber Bone.
There used to be a time when I modified lenses and cameras for fun ....
It can be fun, right?
I used to adapt modern and old m-mount glass to my Fuji mirrorless, until my eyes stopped playing well with the manual focus process. Just can't comfortably do it any more. Shame, as some of the lenses were a joy to use.
Can't remember if I've asked - who's the maker on the fixed-blade?
So much easier to work on knives than on lenses
Off topic but that camera/lens combo is very unique, nice lens also, I used to use one on my Sony A7r but I went back to the Super Takumer version, this multi coating nonsense is far too modern for me.
That is really impressive!Putting the answer to a question that was asked in the traditional forum, wrt the Pentax lens in post #144 above here, so the mods don't complain:
Great question and good eye. There used to be a time when I was working on lenses and cameras .... I love the Pentax 50mm. Managed to RF couple it, too - turns out the lens has just the right focal length for Leica's RF coupling.
And here the lens in action on daughter #1:
This lens is a unicorn

Which adapter do you use to mount Super Takumar on 7R4 ?That is really impressive!
Here is a quick snap of my well used and loved 50mm Pentax Tak Super on my A7r4. I'm not sure you could find a more incongruous combination (the camera is usually used with super high end optics) but I've loved the lens since I started using in a decade ago on digital SLR's. I use is primarily wide open for its dreamy effect. It has a really wonderful drawing style as you know.
I always use Novoflex but I wouldn't assume that it's necessary. The fotodiox adaptors are plenty good enough.
Bump to an old thread.
