Normally I am not a big fan of Canon, but this one kind of fell into my lap; even came with a proper working battery ... think that I will keep it around a bit. Salut, J

A transcend wifi 16GB memory card. Still not used to work with it while I'm traveling.

Awesome camera - ultra reliable.
And a very good lens with it as well.
Good job

Merci OH,

I going to put a roll of Illford 100 in it and place it in the car for those moments when I see something interesting or for during my lunch break downtown.

Should be fun and I love the feel of this large body in my somewhat big hands ... A+, J

Just scored a Super Takumar 50/1,4 with the original hood for the 100mm f4, for 30€.
Wear outside, slight yellowing of the glass, but clean otherwise. Upon further inspection, i'm afraid i missed a very little web of fungy

I'm wondering wethere or not convert it to K mount (don't hang me too fast, i'd like to be able to reverse it if needed. So a clean job is the goal).

Do you mean something like loctite'ing an adapter to the lens?

[Oldhand]

It is easy to use with an M42 to PK adapter, so no real need to change the mount.
Congrats

Auto Rikenon M42 1.4/55
One of the sharpest 1.4/55mm lenses made by anyone.
Can't wait

I didn't realize that the screwmount and the rest of the backside of the lens was made of a single piece. So the change of the mount implies that the new mount should have the space of the Auto /Manual switch.

So yes, a simple adapter will be perfect. E(vil)bay should provide what i'm looking for

Halloo Jean.
The lens has arrived and is rather lovely.
I think it is another Tomioka design and maybe made by them - who knows.
Here is a sample:

I will put this up for fun ... x-post from "Impossible lens" thread.

"Well ... it was only 5€ at a boot sale this weekend and I could not resist (came with manual, lamp & microphone, too). A dead "Kohka" brand 8mm movie camera that I dissembled Sunday night. Remove a middle element only and can focus to about 1.5m ... some test images and maybe will add an "aperture" to see if that helps any ... ha!"
