I have an electro 35 that doesn't want to switch on so I was thinking of findinig a conversion for the lens.

Not cheap though, my guess is that the price is mostly due to the adaptation cost, lenses will add up almost nothing to final price if salvaged from bricked cameras.

i don't know if it is worth doing this, on the single coated lenses side I have already a jupiter 3 with a nice general rendition


EDITED

lens is the 1.4 from the lynx. probably close to the 45 1.7 of the electro but a better luminosity. Likely to cost more101

I have not heard of this before but it does sound interesting... i love the lens on my Electro

I love the way my Yashica Electro 35 Yashinon renders but as I've still got a very usable camera I couldn't justify the cost of one of these lenses although I am tempted!
