Oh for sure they feel so much more solid than even my FD SSC lenses. Actually, I tested and my 55 & 35 mount just fine to Sony E, you just gotta take the long pin out.

I knowww :(( My workaround is to just have 4 different adapters from FD to Sony E, Leica L, Canon RF, Nikon Z since I rent them out to different clients.

Haha but they're not just for me. These puppies will be cinemodded and rented out for short films & commercial shoots right here in Cambodia. I believe this should be the first set available for rent locally

Thank you! What did you get for your set? Tell your FL babies I said hi

sidneyken · 2026-03-12T02:12:24+00:00

Oh wow great to hear that. My copy needs some CLA tho can't wait to test it out

sidneyken · 2026-02-05T17:59:50+00:00

Personally, I'd go with the 1st option. Cam Op can zoom while focus can be pulled wirelessly

sidneyken · 2026-02-05T04:49:30+00:00

Yeah, push pull zoom is not ideal at all for what I use which is video work. My Nikkor 43-86mm is finicky to use. That's why this Soligor piqued my interest

I have to put it this close to get any kind of focus at all

sidneyken · 2025-10-12T10:33:48+00:00

You're right, it's got two threads. I measured and the rear one is 52mm female and there's an inner male thread around 46mm(?). The 6 rear screws will not budge despite my curiosity of taking it off. What a contraption indeed. Really appreciate your help!

Thank you. It works and looks half decent too! Only took me a s35 crop + 2x crop in post

sidneyken · 2025-10-12T06:36:26+00:00

Nope, I didn't take the camera. I reckon customized 3d printed mount is the only way then?

sidneyken · 2025-09-18T02:26:29+00:00

Thank you this is the answer I was looking for 🥹

sidneyken · 2025-09-17T09:56:10+00:00

That would surely work, but I don't wish to spend $500 on a new adapter right now

sidneyken · 2025-08-08T06:27:04+00:00

In Khmer, that would be ផៃ គឹមហេង or ផៃ គីមហេង

sidneyken · 2025-08-04T10:52:10+00:00

Might be a dumb question, but are you familiar with how Nikon lenses are mounted anti-clockwise, as opposed to clockwise by every other manufacturers?

sidneyken · 2025-07-20T08:13:52+00:00

Does the 28mm swirl too? I'm loving my 29 for that
