[Konvas] OCT18 and Canon 7D

[Light Collision]

Interesting test.
It would be nice if there was a way to mount OCT-18 lenses on the 7D. It would probably introduce an interesting retro look to the system. Although they are not as sharp as the newer OCT-19 lenses I think the OCT-18 glass could still beat shooting with Canons and Nikons.
The problem I see is that OCT-18 lenses have very long backs and it seems most of them would not fit a 7D.

You all interested in something cool? Take a look at this shot:



It was taken by hand, but I was using my OCT18 / 75mm on my Canon 7D. Notice that Speed limit sign? That's what I was focusing on. Although, I was doing it by hand (holding both the lens and camera in my hands), it still came out pretty much close to being in focus. The big thing here is that it did not catch my mirror.

Check out the larger shots if you want - I didn't upload the RAW files (too big), but I did convert them to jpeg:
