XP's register distance is about 35 mm, to L-mount's 20, width is 46 mm to L-mount's 50. Kipon has an adapter that ships from China by slow mail for about $150. Try E-Bay.

dkCambridgeshire Posted May 31, 2020 Share #222 Posted May 31, 2020 Technical exercise using a Minolta RF 500/8 mirror lens / Minolta SR extension tubes / Minolta MD to Leica M / Leica M to TL adapter / Leica SL 601 … plus converted flower pot (lined with matt black self adhesive velour) lens hood … as a D.I.Y. "Questar macroscope" substitute … Intention being to explore the 'long subject distance' close-up imaging potential of the 1970s Minolta RF mirror lens … and with a view to using same for dragonfly photography. But this exercise was completed in my kitchen at 2.3m subject distance which enabled approx half life size (0.5x mag.) imaging of the orchid flower head … Illumination via countre jour window light plus a crumpled tin foil reflector to front RHS. The focus ring lever extension made from hard foam enables finer focus … most mirror lenses' focus helicoids are too coarse for fine focus. The Minolta RF 500 has same optical design as the Leitz MR Telyt R 500/8 … it was 'badge engineered' into the R lens in1979 during the Minolta / Leitz partnership. Nowadays the Leitz MR Telyt 500/8 is usually listed for c. £900 … but this Minolta RF 500 example was listed by Ffordes recently for £160 … and the Minolta SR tubes (also from Ffordes) cost just £10 Apparatus photos: Welcome, dear visitor!

_Michael Posted July 8, 2020 Share #232 Posted July 8, 2020 Picked up a cheap adapter for my old Pentax-M / K glass. Most of which I purchased in the late 70's /early 80s. This is the SL with a Pentax-M Macro 1:4 100mm. It should be fin playing with this adapted glass. This is cropped to about 50% of frame with the MFD extended a bit with the adapter. Glass seems to hold up very well, with a creamy bokeh. Welcome, dear visitor!

John Robinson Posted August 21, 2020 Share #240 Posted August 21, 2020 Rollei Planar 1,8/50 (Singapore), if a mid-1970s lens can be called "vintage". Shot wide-open on SL, slight crop to 3x4. Often compared with Carl Zeiss Planar 1,7/50 (Japan), a different formula. I prefer the way the Rollei draws. Welcome, dear visitor!
