http://georgp.zenfolio.com/mc_rokkor_58_conversion This gallery shows the conversion of a MC Rokkor 58mm f/1.2 to Minolta AF (Sony alpha) mount. The conversion was done using a MAF/M42 adaptor and a 1 mm thick sheet of plastic. A short explanation of the modification steps is given in the image captions.<br/><br/>The images taken with this lens have very pleasant bokeh and are very sharp from f/2 on. At f/1.2 there is some softness in most shots and DOF is extremely small of course.<br/><br/>Here's some links to other web resources on 58/1.2 conversion:<br/><br/><a href="http://www.pbase.com/pganzel/modification_of__58mm_f12_rokkor" target="_blank">Pete Ganzel's modification (using T-mount adaptor)</a><br/><a href="http://www.dyxum.com/dforum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19601" target="_blank">Arkku's modification (using M42 adaptor)</a><br/><a href="http://www.dyxum.com/dforum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29279" target="_blank">Shaocaholica's modification (with ROM chip)</a> en-us (C) georg pillwein georg.pillwein@gmx.net (georg pillwein - photographien) Sun, 22 Nov 2009 09:33:52 GMT Sun, 22 Nov 2009 09:38:46 GMT Mechanical Devices Science and Technology
