MF Adapted Lens Image Samples - Post Your Best!

Wow! I love old lenses. I add one with an Asahi Pentax SMC Takumar 50mm f1.4.

Damn that guy was ready for war. ^^^ nice pics

Thank you very much!

Mitsuki 135mm f/2.8, first time I have used this lens, which I got for free, the wide focus ring is great but the minimum focus distance is quite long.

ok heres the mount help a brother out the cap for the back saids minolta but idont think is the original cap

It looks like a Minolta MD mount. You have 4 choices:
1. buy one of the adapters on eBay that don't have a correction lens but let you use this as a macro only lens (anything further than a few feet will be out of focus)
2. buy one of the adapters on eBay that have a correction lens. you'll probably pay more than what you paid for the lens and image qality will be very mediocre because there's a extra piece of cheap chinese made glass between the lens and the sensor.
3. take the lens completely apart, start drilling holes into a m42 adapter and try sanding or shimming until you get infinity. I would not go through this much trouble unless the lens was something spectacular like a Minolta 58mm F1.2. Although looking at your pics, in your case it may be very simple to do.
4. Donate the lens to goodwill

@jabber lol thanks for the input I got a Pentax and m42 adapter coming I hope is not Minolta... but if it is so what I only payed 10$ and I at least got Pentax 1.7 50mm out the deal...but I'm really waiting for my Russian lenses.. Mir1 and Helios 44/2

Today my adapter came but they sent me the wrong one. I ordered one with a flange and received one without. They're sending me a new one and I get to keep this one too. So, not too bad at all.

Anyway, despite the missing flange I could finally take a few test shots with my MF lenses. They are:

Meyer-Lydith 30mm f/3.5
ECB Fujinon-T 135mm f/3.5

I knew the Meyer wouldn't work on the 5D, but I had hoped it would on a 1D body. Alas. Mirror still gets in the way. So I took some shots with the 40D. The image is uncropped. Focusing at this close range was easy, but 2 or 3 meters away was quite difficult.
Here's one test shot of what was in front of me on the desk (so it's not a creative shot or whatever, just a test shot):

What mount are they that won't work with full frame?

^^^They're your ordinary M42 screw mount, but the flange focal distance on a full frame Canon camera is shorter than on a crop body and with some of the MF lenses, like the Meyer-Lydith 30mm, the rear of the lens hits the mirror when focusing to infinity (and you can't take the picture).

Picked up a 55mm F1.7 'Rony' lense with Pentax mount.

^^ Not really odd size. Field of view similar to "85/1.8 on FF".
