A more curious adapter I made this weekend:
[ATTACHMENT NOT FOUND]
It is an adapter for 135 format slide projector lenses.
I took the lens mount from a broken Nikon 35-105mm. I glued together some PVC tubing and lined it with a smooth strip of thin black plastic to get the fit just right. A screw acts as guidance for the focus coils. With some black pray paint it even looks quite nifty, I think :lol:
The lens mounted is a Voigtlander Lattar 85mm f2.5. Some of the slide projector lenses can't focus to infinity and others can (this Voigtlander can't), due to how much they would protrude into the camera. The Nikon F-mount is narrow enough to prevent me from turning the lens too deep into the camera's mirror box and damage things.
A simple Nikon F-mount to EOS adapter is used to mount it on my Canon EOS DSLR.
