On 6/7/11, Collin Brendemuehl, discombobulated, unleashed: >Here he is. >http://brendemuehl.net/images/frank/frank1.jpg > >A shot taken with Frank. f2, perhaps slightly overexposed. >http://brendemuehl.net/images/frank/berry.jpg > >The center. >http://brendemuehl.net/images/frank/center.jpg > >This was pretty simple because the Minolta mount on this lens was in 2 >pieces. Behind the camera mount is another support ring. >Both the ring and the K mount had a rib which had to be milled off. >Even so, the ring does need to be another 1mm thinner for infinity focus. > >Minolta used 8 screws on the lens mount. 4 attached the mount to the >support ring and 4 went through the support ring to the lens body. >I left out the holes for the 4 into the ring and just used the 4 longer >ones that went through to the lens body. That's enough for this weight >of lens. It might be easier to have a pro with a mill do the actual >work on the mount and ring. Perhaps I will hire an engineer to finish it. > >Also, put a hold for the mounting screw near the red dot. That allowed >me to attach to the lens body close to the center of the aperture scale >for near-proper alignment. > >Still, it "works" for close stuff.
