Does anyone know who still does the Canon F0.95 to M Mount conversion?

Don at Dag Camera Repair is overloaded with work, so no go there either...

 

Thanks in advance!

Ken Ruth (Photography on Bald Mountain) did mine. Did an outstanding job too. See:

Do these conversions really work? I've looked at a couple and they did not focus properly.

 

I'd seriously consider having an M modified permanently for the Canon .95 lens. Something like the below. I wonder if a camera engineer could make it so.

 

Thoughts?

The conversion worked in my case. I had a TV version of the Canon 50/0.95 that Ken Ruth converted to M mount. He will ask you to send along your camera body so as to properly calibrate focus. My modified Canon 50/0.95 works beautifully (perfect focus) on both my M3 and MP.

 

Ken likes a challenge so you might email him as to your Permanently-Modify-M request.

Ref. Treeplanter. Ken Ruth did one for me years ago, and I too had to send in my camera body to ensure everything worked in synch.

Thank you all for the suggestions. I spoke with Ken (great guy and all) and sent over my kit today.

I guess Ken did not like my idea of permanently grafting a Canon 7S bay mount to the M4. He did not write back.

 

I'm going to try it myself.

Thanks for that, William. Unfortunately I am hearing impaired. No phone.
