Originally posted by fikkser I had a 5d mk1 and the mirror hit most of my takumars (maybe all) below 55mm. How does it work out with the mk2? With for example 50 1,4 (various versions), the ST 28 3,5 or SMC 35 3,5? I read the mirror is a bit shorter on the MK2. Thinking of getting one, they go for about 1100€ here. :-)
I have three 50mm f1,4, Super Takumar V1 and V2 are hitting the mirror, but S-M-C one is not and it works great. Same goes for 35mm f3,5, Super Tak not working, S-M-C working without problem. I also have Auto Tak 35 f2,3 that work on FF without problem. My Super Tak 35 f2 is just on the edge, sometimest mirror is blocked by lens, sometimes no. None of 28mm Takumars works, but I have modified one so that works. Tak 24mm and Tak 20mm are not working, but sometimes I use them with live view.
