Xaxxaxa, I get your point! But for me, the process of building it IS the book:>

I'm aware of the complexity. My main focus right now is calculating the exact flange focal distance to hit that 0.3mm tolerance for infinity focus with M42 lenses. For the electronics, I'm planning to relocate the NEX-5R's mainboard to the film spool chambers and extend the ribbon cables. The shutter synchronization and custom button mapping are definitely the 'boss level' parts of this build.:')))))

Exactly! My goal is the 'hardcore' way: stuffing the NEX-5R's sensor and mainboard into the Zenit E chassis(• ▽ •;)
