adapting lenses
Have any you made your own lens adapter? Or do any of you know a lot about flange focal distance? My mirrorless camera has a flange focal distance of 18mm and the system I'm trying to adapt has ffd of 40mm. Do I just separate the mount from the body by 22mm? Or are there other factors/measurements to take into account? Jan 11 13 06:55 am Link The best thing is to just buy a commercially-available adapter. What camera and what lens mount are you trying to mate? Jan 11 13 07:01 am Link Jody Hess wrote: Yes. Jan 11 13 11:55 am Link I purchased a Fotodiox adapter.
