Hello there ,

 

 

 

 

I have a Fed camera from 1954 , Leica II copy.And I have Bolex Kern Paillard Yvar 13mm C mount Lens for regular 8mm C8 Bolex Camera.

 

I want to use that lens on Fed 1954 - Leica II copy .

 

Is there any adapter for that combination and a source ? If not , is it possible to 3d print.?

 

 

1. Where can I find C mount thread details or cad file
    
   
2. and Fed Leica II thread details or cad file
    
   
3. distance from lens back to film plane
   
4. 
   
5. depth of Paillard lenses back sit on the adapter measurements ?
   

 

 

I have no digital camera .

 

 

Thank you ,

An 8mm C-mount movie lens on a 24x36 film camera? You will only get a small circle in the middle of the negative. The register distance is about 10 mm short, so you will not be able to focus to infinity, not even to 1 meter. Simply not possible.

The Bolex C8 camera did not use a C mount lens. The 8 mm cameras used a D mount lens.

From memory the 13mm Yvar was the standard lens for the 8mm cameras, and d mount. Can't conceive of any use on full 35mm format.

C mount standard for 16mm film was 25mm, and the wideangles 10 or 16mm, and would also be pretty useless on a 35mm camera.

Same conclusion for D mount.
