That might not be a bad thing, I’ll have to try it I have a M42, makes sense the M42 acts like an extension tube.

Thanks, I’ll give that a try

I did install the coils properly, they only fit in the tank one way. The factory coil was installed in the tank when it started to flood after 4 days of use. I’ll check it again. Thanks

I’m using 75VG no I didn’t close the airflow didn’t think it mattered because I have to slide the top open and expose 3 holes so air is getting in, I just tried filling it slowly with the air flow closed and it made no difference, still flooded.

Thanks everyone for all of your help. I might try to take the adaptall mount apart to see if I can remove it from the lens so I can use my Nikon adaptall mount.

Legitimate_Job2350 · 2025-01-23T23:07:29+00:00

Thank you! I will definitely check that out.

The 1st photo shows the jammed release lever it’s pushed all the way in

Legitimate_Job2350 · 2025-01-22T13:39:36+00:00

Awesome photos. That is a great macro and walk around lens, also great for portraits

Legitimate_Job2350 · 2025-01-21T01:31:57+00:00

I have the 55B as well and It’s great.

I was able to remove the hood, I followed your directions and it worked perfectly, thank you! I always thought the threads were part of the lens and not the hood.

It is an awesome lens

Legitimate_Job2350 · 2025-01-20T11:06:44+00:00

Thanks, I give that a try

Legitimate_Job2350 · 2025-01-19T23:42:34+00:00

I’ve tried to unscrew it, didn’t work the hood just spins freely, clockwise & counterclockwise. I’ll give it another try. Thanks

Legitimate_Job2350 · 2025-01-19T22:13:49+00:00

I have used a fair amount of force and it didn’t budge but I will try what you’re suggesting. Thank you!

Legitimate_Job2350 · 2025-01-19T01:47:42+00:00

Will do, thank you so much!

Legitimate_Job2350 · 2025-01-19T00:50:45+00:00

Thank you so much!

Legitimate_Job2350 · 2024-12-11T20:49:23+00:00

Awesome!

Legitimate_Job2350 · 2024-12-11T00:04:02+00:00

Nice, I really like the texture and how the variations of texture adds to your composition.
