My Canon 0.95 is home

Wow, that's a sexy piece of glass!

I found the lens at a local flea market for $5. After conversion I have just over $400 invested in it..

BALLS, BALLS, BALLS!

@ Colyn - I'm wondering why you decided to convert your Canon 0.95 TV lens for your M mount rather than for your Canon 7?

I don't use the Canon 7 as much as I use the M's so I decided to go that route..

It is a heavy lens. Add the weight of the the camera and you have a load hanging off your shoulder.

I may end up putting it on ebay and get a Noctilux or Summilux both of which are a lot lighter..

And you'll be making a substantial return on your investment if you do that.

True..

The Noctilux at f/1.0 is only very slightly slower than the 0.95 lens and a lot lighter..

Have the same plan with my Canon 0.95 lens (not the TV model). It's a great lens for my Canon 7 but the weight is not practical for daily use.
