Trying "R"lenses on M8

gogopix · 06.12.2006, 22:22

Aswe get more familiar I am starting to look at the use of R lenses with the RF distance matching camerquest adapter. Lens is big, but adapter is easy to use
color depth is really great.
I am interested to compare to CV 15mm, which is only 1/15th the price!

Victor i have the normal adpter but was thinking of getting the one you can focus. i tried a the Oly 24mm with a 3 stitch the other day. Now if I could focus it . It would have been better . Maybe i will sell this one and get the expensive one at 350 so I can focus.

Dreaming of my 180 F2 on the M8. Holy smokes that would be hot

hey wanna trade my C/V 15mm with adapter for your camerquest adapter. LOL

Much rather have my 24 shift. LOL

I tried it close in, and was pretty easy to match below 1 meter (need to guess a lot 1 to 10 meters as scale is 1m then infinity!)

hereis an inside shot at 640 and focus about 2ft away

then crop
not too bad

I am still waiting for the first one who adapts the Canon EF 1200mm 1:5.6L USM to the M8.

If you suceed you are the man, Guy!

Victor should be able to get you a 800/5.6 shot on the M8.

By the way, Victor I just realized I still have your adapter. Send me a PM and I can send it back or send over a paypal payment.

You have the one that focuses just send it to me. LOL

Playstation 3?
Nope, too expensive.
I hear 1:1 trade for P45 backs

LOL

guy_mancuso · 06.12.2006, 23:03

You know i think they have a M to a R also. now that could be interesting. Put the C/V 15mm on the DMR .

gogopix · 06.12.2006, 23:04

M to R?
Focuses from 6 inches to 8 inches I hear.
(sounds, crazy but I actually have that adapter from Leica. for macro maybe?)

guy_mancuso · 06.12.2006, 23:13
