Guest JMF Posted October 13, 2012 Share #261 Posted October 13, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) Sharing this super wide lens on M9 Leica Hologon 15mm f8 ....due to the lens is too close to the CCD red vignetting can't be avoid. However on film M body should be ok. Photo taken last year on my Tibet road trip CornerFix or hand coding the lens might be worth a try. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theodor Heinrichsohn Posted October 13, 2012 Share #263 Posted October 13, 2012 Sharing this super wide lens on M9 Leica Hologon 15mm f8 ....due to the lens is too close to the CCD red vignetting can't be avoid. However on film M body should be ok. Photo taken last year on my Tibet road trip An amazing collection of old lenses and pictures in this thread. I have used the 15mm Hologon on the M8 and found it OK. Same problems on the M9 as posted. On film Leicas the Hologon is most interesting because it is practically without distortion and very effective when in extremely close quarters. I have used it for b&w negative shots of small Japanese Zen gardens. This thread shows that not only the latest and greatest lenses produce wonderful images.

brianv Posted October 13, 2012 Share #267 Posted October 13, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) A real Hack- from 4 different lenses. The Canon optics module missing the rear elements, focus mount with no optics module, retaining ring, and the rear group from a Nikkor. I could not come up with a rear fixture that would screw into place, so I wrapped the Nikkor fixture with copper tape and screwed it in. I tried a stand-off shim, but it interfered with the aperture closing down. The shim pressed against the mechanism. SO: I ended up getting the rear optic into place, tested close-up and infinity, tested flatness of field, and used JB-Weld to hold in place. Stuffed a foam strip in between the retaining ring and optics to act as a light baffle. These are all left-over parts, and I was curious to what it would all do when put together. AND- when someone on the forum uses the phrase "Canikon", i can reply- "I have one of those." Welcome, dear visitor!

!Nomad64 Posted October 14, 2012 Share #268 Posted October 14, 2012 Well done Dr. Frankenlens! I'm stunned by what you achieved. Honestly I would never have thought of putting together a lens from different ones and different brands but as usual there's always something to learn and to play with. Apart from the obvious mechanical skills this implies you must have solid understanding of lens design. Or it was just "I have this and that, let's try what happens by recombining them"? Cheers, Bruno 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or it was just "I have this and that, let's try what happens by recombining them"? Cheers, Bruno Thankyou. It started out with let's try it, and see what happens. Then look for the reason. On the Frankenlens- formula for combining lenses means you can get the center in focus and everything else is luck. Makes for some interesting effects. Where FL is focal length, D is distance: Effective Focal Length= (FL1*FL2)/(FL1+FL2-D) Edited October 14, 2012 by brianv 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

!Nomad64 Posted October 14, 2012 Share #276 Posted October 14, 2012 M9 + Elmarit Asph 24/2.8.

brianv Posted October 14, 2012 Share #278 Posted October 14, 2012 Another Hack-Job. Nikkor 10.5cm F2.5 in S-Mount, missing the rear element. Bought off Ebay for $40. Now with a Plano-Convex 103mm optic ordered from Surplusshack for $3. Wide-open on the M9, using a Nikon S-Mount adapter. Hacked Nikkor 10.5cm F2.5 by anachronist1, on Flickr Hacked Nikkor 10.5cm F2.5 by anachronist1, on Flickr Hacked Nikkor 10.5cm F2.5 by anachronist1, on Flickr Still experimenting with this one, focus is good out to a few meters. focal length is a little off, need to play with the spacing. Telephoto lenses are less forgiving. "But Brian, why not my an M Type 240 and make it easy": NAH! Gotta maintain RF coupling! 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
