MINOLTA - Minolta MC Rokkor58mmf12 to Canon
by MINOLTAThis comprehensive technical guide provides step-by-step instructions for converting a Minolta MC Rokkor 58mm f1.2 lens to Canon EOS mount. Authored by Paul Yates, the guide begins with an introduction highlighting the legendary qualities of this optical jewel: its creamy-smooth bokeh, exceptional resolution, and ultra-fast f1.2 aperture. The documentation includes a detailed materials and tools section, specifying the M42-to-EOS adapter, micro-drivers, drill bits, needle files, sandpaper, and flat black metal paint required for the conversion. The procedural section starts with marking the original mount and removal of the eight screws securing the MC mount. Each step is accompanied by high-resolution photographs clearly showing tool positioning and modification requirements. The guide features practical photographic examples demonstrating the converted lens mounted on a Canon EOS 5D, including full-frame and 100% crop samples that showcase the superior image quality and bokeh characteristics achieved through this conversion. An important disclaimer notes that the procedure is irreversible and the guide assumes no responsibility for potential damage during the conversion process.
