H16 c-mount for FD lenses?

[mr_x]

Hi,

What's the low-down on Bolex C Mount adapters for FD lenses please?

I ask because I am aware that there is a slight optical discrepancy between non-reflex and reflex Bolex H16 lenses, so I wondered how c-mounted FD lenses fit in with this arrangement?

Thanks,

Ric

You may well also need to source a Canon manual diaphragm adapter for FD lenses...



...without which you won't be able to stop down the lenses.

I've never come across an FD--->C-Mount adaptor which performs this function, which isn't to say that they aren't out there!

Thanks Bart,

I have one of these, in fact spent years tracking one down, only to realize a tiny piece of matchstick can perform the same action!

But yes, I have the diaphragm adapter beastie
