Lens conversion to Canon EOS digital cameras
Digital photographers have realized that there are legacy film camera lenses that have no application in the digital world. They are bargains and bring unique qualities to images. The Canon 5D full frame digital camera and other Canon digital cameras was the first to be chosen by photographers as the camera to use these manual focus lenses on, due to the flexibility of its EF mount. Extremely popular are the fast aperture normal 50mm lenses for the shallow depth of field they produce. Subject areas can be isolated for effect.I offer lens conversion services for use on Canon EOS digital cameras. I have developed precise techniques for maintaining the alignment and aperture control for popular lenses including Minolta MC/MD, Canon FL/FD, and Leica R lenses.
In addition to lens conversion services, I have developed a user installable EOS back for the very popular Minolta Rokkor 58mm f/1.2 lens. Additional kits are being developed for the Leica R lenses.
Please request a quote for your manual focus lens conversion needs.
All lens spacers start from thick wall aluminum, here being turned to diameter. 
Generic EOS adapters are inlayed into the custom spacers to maintain axial geometry and precise fit.
