Quote:No, just not focussing at infinity. If the adapter you found really just adds 0.9mm flange distance, and the resulting flange distance is just about 2.3mm too large, you are basically shooting with a 2.3mm extension tube, with for 135mm is not a lot. Perfect for a bokeh lens as you then won't use it for infinity focus.Isn' it 46.5- 45.46 = 1.04mm + 0.9mm = 1.94mm?....anyway...
The first step will be to try the lens on the Nikon with the adapter that has the 0.9mm flange in between the lens and the camera mount and we will see what I've got...........from what I've read though I can expect a 5mt MFD......on a 135mm lens that's head and shoulders shots.......fairly constricting....and not what I had in mind......I would like to do the odd video as well........and "bathe" in that lovely transition between close focus and then focusing out to infinity with the lens fully open to reveal those otherwise mysterious backdrops.
Plan "A" is still on!
