Hello all,
As I wrote in the introduction, I happen to have a Canon 7 and some Schneider Kreuznach lenses in DKL mount, originally made for the Kodak Retina Rangefinders.
It's mount is not so common, since those cameras all had a leaf shutter right behind the lens.
However, my aim is to use these lenses on my Canon with ltm mount.
Was it made before?
I figured that I could use a generic (albeit expensive, around 100 EUR for a metal one) DKL to m42 adapter with an aperture ring (the lenses have none) and then a m42 to m39 (should be equivalent to LTM right? noob question).
I currently have a DKL to EOS too, so if an EOS to LTM exists it would be cool and save me some $$.
Moreover, I'll lose rf coupling, right? Guess focusing shouldn't be a problem, since lenses are all quite slow.
They all have a rf cam, the problem is just the link between the lens and the camera, lost with the adapters. Anyone ever tried to order an adapter machined to personal request, with a cam in it? Is it super-expensive?
Thanks and sorry for the multiple questions, I'm just curious.
PS In case you were wondering, as a student I'm not that interested nor have the possibility to afford other 3 or 4 new lenses just for the Canon, and that's why I'm trying to use what I have. 🙄
