Originally posted by JeffJS I have a Nikon 50 f1.4 I might try doing something with just for grins and giggles. It'll mount just enough to stay on...
Depending on the mount details, the easy way to deal with it is: Check the aperture ring. If it has a rim all the way around the bottom, the lens can be force-fit into a PK mount -- maybe upside-down. And that's all, unless you're a better lens surgeon than I, and want to try removing the entirety of that rim.
If the rim is only partial, with an arc on one side and a nub on the other, those can be excised. Unscrew base. Pull aperture ring off. Use a Dremel Reinforced Cut-Off Wheel #426 to cut away that arc and nub. You want the bottom of the aperture ring to be smooth. Now blow the dust off, re-assemble, and fire away. I've successfully castrated, er I mean modified 3 lenses, and more will probably go under the knife soon.
Or if you tire of the 50/1.4, I can take it off your hands for a nominal fee.
