Lens Customisation

[hawkhanlumist]

Hi All,

I am posting in the hope of getting a little advice here.

I am looking for someone who might be able to modify a 45mm f2 Planar for the G2 to have it mount directly on my XPAN.

Any ideas on who I might be able to try?

Thanks in advance.

Does the Planar have the coverage to be useful on an Xpan?
As for the mod itself, there are a few who modify Contax G lenses to Leica mount so there probably isn't a reason the same can't be done to stick the lens on an Xpan. Let us know!

I only want to use it in traditional 35mm mode. It is a small lens and would allow to have a fast prime to carry along with the panoramic setup. Can you recommend anyone? Or just give me a few names to ask?

These folks may be able to help/offer suggestions or point you in the right direction:

Just note: the original owner - (Steve Grimes) whom I have dealt with years ago - sold the business and has since passed. Do a little research for reviews before considering.
