The "adapted" tri-pod collar is my interest here. Many times larger and heavier lens do not have a tri-pod mount. Especially when adapting fast glass from DSLRs' or SLR's. Is there a universal or adjustable tri-pod mount out there for just these situations?

Got the adapters today for my lenses. 10 bucks shipped for each one.

Lenses:
Minolta Rokkor 58mm f/1.4
Kiron 28mm f/2.0


The kiron is a Kino run and is super sharp.
I havent shot with the minolta yet, but i cant wait to.

Default current favourite - Summitar Leica Screw Mount on GX1

This is a Summitar with hood on my GX1. Wonderful lens with good sharpness and contrast for a design from the 30s. See my adventure updated on google+

Default My Canon FD 800mm f/5.6 and the Olympus E-M5

I got to use this outfit quite a bit this spring when I got my E-M5 for photographing birds. It is rather tough to follow the birds and manual focus of course, but I did manage to grab a few keepers.
This is my best effort so far.

Thanked by Adubo, kurtwist, spatulaboy and 4 others.
