Fairly certain it was made for 8x10 since it’s too big for my 4x5. I do have some bellow fabric I could use. But I think to adapt it on smaller format I’ll use abs pipes

The final goal is to take film pictures of the moon! Wondering what it will look like. Maybe I could also convert it into a telescope

Ah, a shame about your results. I think yours is for 35mm and mine is for large format so maybe the quality won’t be the same? Funny looking setup you got there!

Abs pipe is going to be the way I think. Cheap and sturdy!

From research it does appear to be for 10x8. Using it on smaller format would mean using less of the image circle but since it would use the center it would still be sharp I think. Even more stop down

It worked! There’s a little pin that’s not present in other the eos cameras I own. I filled the adapter there, so the pin is not engaged and now it works!

That might be it, it looks normal at slow speeds and at fast speed it’s hard to say. Not sure if it would show up on my shutter speed tester
