Canon 550D with Mamiya M42 55mm f/1.4

[ajiaggarao]

does the focus ring move back and forth when you twist it to focus? can you put a follow focus unit there?

Seems like this lens is more sharp than takumar 50mm 1.4. Whot kind of adapter U used?

[georgeou]

@kubickirobert Just a ring adapter with no glass.

@MNPtests i dont have these lenses, but i figure that you should be able to see everything it does. just cant control anything on the lens automatically, but like said before, who needs to with video anyways

@MNPtests Everything works well. You just don't get auto-focus, but that doesn't work well for video anyways.

what adapter did you use??

[georgeou]

@bjarni1995 Just a cheap M42 metal ring adapter I got off of eBay. I pretty much keep the adapter on the lens. The adapter needs no optics whenever the lens diameter is larger than the camera mount. Since Canon mounts are smaller than most of the others, almost all the other lens types except the old Canon mount will work without any optics.

@georgeou NOOB ALERT.. what do you mean Optics??

[georgeou]

@bjarni1995 What I mean is that there is no glass (no lens) in the adapter. All it needs is a metal ring.

@georgeou aaahhhhh thank you for the information :D
