But I was reading about a DIY conversion using a Minolta MD speedbooster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mercer Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 @jase I don't have a link for the diy, but when I searched for info about the 28mm, I read on Fred Miranda that someone converted an MD speedbooster to Konica AR. He did have photos where he claimed to use it. I'd imagine it would require some shaving of the mount, but I don't know. Here's a link to the discussion: http://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/1254014/0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kidzrevil Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 @mercer Hahahha ! I was curious about the classic zeiss and this "look" all the old school photographers rave about. I see it now, totally different rendering from the milvus glass I shot with. Its a nice balance between modern & vintage with tons of micro contrast. Now im patiently waiting for the contax zeiss 50mm f1.4 and the 18-35mm sigma to come in. Optimum range of focal lengths for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercer Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 @kidzrevil very nice. Looking forward to your results. You may want to check out the Contax Zeiss 35-70 zoom. It's supposed to be excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does break the bank though. If I ever buy a s35 lens again, it's this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I ever buy a s35 lens again, it's this one I used that recently on a RED Dragon shoot! Gorgeous lens. It was our go to for dolly, establishing, and handheld shots.

kidzrevil Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 @Nikkor If I don't like the sigma 18-35 im gonna get the contax zeiss 85mm f1.4 aeg ! Good call on the contax zeiss glass bro, they def have character over super clinical sharpness @TheRenaissanceMan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikkor Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Well, the superspeeds are different than contax. They have what I call the seventies glow, something I totally love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recently purchased the metabones c mount adapter and it has opened up a lot more choices since more c-mounts will fit that adapter. So, since I am whittling down my lens collection I am finding that I really love the rendering of these old Cine lenses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
