A guy on flickr did it, and it cost a lot, done by the specialty shop in Japan.

"This lens was a C-mount lens for the 16mm film.
The lens was modified by a Japanese specialist "Mr. Miyazaki". It modified into the Leica M mount is focussing to 0.7m from infinity. But, There aren't any focus indication on the barrel."

Crazy looking lens!
Does it cover 35mm format or only 16mm?
What are they worth before conversion?

They sell for about a grand, when they go. I was looking to buy one but gave up. Looked for about 4 months.
But factor in the conversion, that's another 800 I think.
I don't think thy cover the full 35mm, and if you look in the link I posted, his film shots with it show the extreme circular vignette.

Here's the info if you manage to get a hold of one to be modified. I really wish it could cover the entire 35mm frame, that bokeh looks absolutely incredible. Unless you could manage to get one of those Zeiss center weighted ND what-cha-ma-call-it filters.

For the price it costs to get this outrageous bokeh anymore, I am beginning to lean towards doing a self modification, read about it here:

I don't know if it looks better than, say, the canon f0.95, which is about the same money pre converted.
Looks cool on the camera though!

I'd find a Canon 50/.95 and send it to DAG for conversion--oh--I did that 😎
Some nice pics from that lens though.
