  • To make this work I had to machine away a lot of material from the original lens as well as machine 2 new parts. The 2 new parts are the mounting ring, using my own M-Mount design, and the aluminium RF coupling ring, this is press fit into the brass helicoid.

    Great video! Thanks for it. Would be great though to show how to take this lens apart from the actual Yashica. Mine is a little bit stiff on the focussing ring.

      That's tricky because the lens is mounted on a board and you'll have to remove that board to get to the three rear lens screws, unless I'm mistaken. There's a few videos on this.

      Film Love Photography Hi! I was contacted about this before but after looking into the designs it seems there’s just not enough space. The 1mm reduction in focal plane distance makes it impossible using my method, it was a great struggle just to fit it in the m mount! Thanks.

      @@proprietarysonics3723 thank you very much 🙏. I have a yashica electro 35 that doesn't work, and I have a Fed 5B in good shape with a industar 55mm, when I saw your video, I was like this can be the best option 😃. But if don't work, it's okay. Big hug and thanks again.👍

    Great job ! Just for my information, how much time does it take for you to do that ? From the dissambly (for those who don't know, this yashica lens is supposed to be removable) to the end result ? I'm guessing you may have lots of Yashica parts to sell if you start receiving orders. :)

    • @proprietarysonics3723
      @proprietarysonics3723  5 лет назад

      It really depends on the condition of the lens, but usually a couple of hours for disassembly/cleaning etc, then maybe a dozen hours of machining/finishing followed by a few hours calibrating it. I have a couple of spare bodies but most aren't in great condition!

  • @wodzimierzwohn114
    @wodzimierzwohn114 4 года назад

    Ellis, assuming one (as I) don't need rangefinder coupling (mirrorless camera) the conversion will be way easier, right?

    • @proprietarysonics3723
      @proprietarysonics3723  4 года назад

      You are correct! It would only require 1 part and everything would be a lot less difficult to fit in

    Hi eLLIS is a great job, I have always thought that some optics could somehow be adapted, I have that LENS 45/1.7 YAHINON LIKE THAT that is super clean to interior and outside, someone has asked if it is possible to adapt it to leica thread, you have answered that it is not possible, for that millimeter of difference do you think there could be some possibility, if the rear upright was turned to leica thread instead of leica m? please a question how do you du to stand the shutter in opend possition ?

    • @proprietarysonics3723
      @proprietarysonics3723  4 года назад

      Hello, thanks for the comment. Indeed there is very little room inside the lens but it is possible if the RF coupling is removed, an m39 thread could just about fit then. As for the shutter, I completely disassembled the lens first and removed the entire shutter mechanism. Thanks!

      Thank you very much, I notice that there is a piece of the rear mount part, which has made some height and diameter recesses, and you have left some H-shaped guide projections, I suppose it is the lock so that the entire body of the body does not rotate barrel, this same piece enters directly into the helical brass ring in case of leica thread I guess you have to lower as much height as possible, anyway I see a lot of work of turning, two pieces and an adapter
