+1 to that, absolutely!

Thank you both! Unfortunately, Jeannie and Moana did not become good friends!

Yes, M42 adapter, and then a bunch more stuff!

But it's all available to buy. I didn't have to design or build anything. After the M42 adapter which of course I already had, I used:

$9.90: M42 male to M65 female ring
$29.99: M65 focusing helicoid
$26.10: M65 to Ø62.5 ring clamp (it would be easy to leave it out and DIY this part)
$54.99: the lens itself

It's not such a great bargain, although it still might be the cheapest way to get f/1.8 at 100mm. The same parts will also work for most Soviet 35mm slide projector lenses (62.5mm was their standard outer tube diameter).

One interesting thing about the lens is that disassembly only requires unscrewing the trim ring in the front, after which all the glass and spacers fall out in a big stack. It would be a great platform for optical experiments. I'd like to make my own apertures with unusual shapes. Should be fun.

I hope myself and others can get Jean Poitiers' Projector Lens Club going again. It's a lot of fun hacking optics never intended for taking pictures.

A couple more from Saturday's projector adventure:

At last, my own dog as the thread title demands.

I hope my face doesn't look like that when I get a new lens in the mail...

Welcome. Animals are sometimes funny creatures (as if none of us knew that!)... over the years we have introduced several cats into the household, with varying degrees of success. Some have integrated more or less seamlessly after an initial meet-and-greet, some have not.

"If you see me coming better step aside." That is a face that will send most other cats slinking into a hiding place.

Wow! Ollie looks exactly like one of ours, Murphy! Both very handsome dudes! I hope Ollie is as friendly (and spoiled) as Murphy!

Ollie (the cat) is a 17 year old, scardycat that hides under our bedcovers whenever visitors arrive. He rarely even goes outside. I had to carry him outside for that pic!
Benji (the dog) is 50% Schnauzer, 25% Labrador and 25% Husky - and a 100% lovable boy!
