Nathan Can you repeat the question, please?  More info | Mar 13, 2014 13:31 | #1 Does anyone have experience with making an Exakta mount fit onto a 5D2 or 5D3? I'm interested in getting a 100mm Meyer Optik Trioplan manual focus. Looked around and I know there are mounts available... some differing reviews and comments about fitting loosely or still touching the mirror box. Taking photos with a fancy camera does not make me a photographer.

My Exakta mount lenses don´t work all easy, because of that automatic iris crank. On one lens I need to disassemble a part of that crank. DIY-Homepage
