[Konvas] HASSELBLAD LENS ON KONVAS

[colcam at aim.com]

 The lightweight mount on a heavy lens is a deliberate fail safe-- so the lens comes off without destroying the camera.? Heavy lenses are supposed to be supported on a bracket or rod support unit, NOT on the camera lens mount, and various companies have various methods, some of them invisible, but all of which make sure the lens fails before the body is damaged.

Changing the mount would be a very unwise choice.

As for the Hassy to oct19?? Get a Hassy to M39 adapter via eBay, put an extension tube onto it, then fit the oct19 mount and you'll have an easily interchangeable mount.

Hi I exploring the possibility to put some Hasselbad lens on my KONVAS M2
I like to know if it's possible to find a Hassebald mount to OCT 19 ?

Or it's better to send the lens to be remount.
Now many sell Russian lomo on PL and i do not want to move on pl so it's possible to buy Oct 19 mount to put them on other lens. I did once for my 500mm century but the OCT 19 mount are rarely on ebay ?


I have a 200mm Lomo lens with a aluminum mount ? i don't know wy the Russian put a so cheap mount on a heavy lens like that ? and i like to change it ?

I think Hassebald lens idea is not bad... and i will buy bran new lens versus trying to find good lens in a bunch of bad one.
