Video of how to get Canon EOS Full-Frame Infinity Focus w/Minolta MC-Rokkor PF 58/1.4 lens.

This ends up being more of a metal working video than a photography video, but I thought it was interesting.

This video shows how to machine the rear element of a Minolta 58/1.2 to allow it to work in a Canon full frame body like and EOS 5D Mark II without having the mirror strike the rear element.

He gives a good explanation of what he is doing and you can see how he does the process on his mini lathe.

One other nice thing about this video: It’s an example of shooting video using a Canon EOS 5D Mark II with a 42mm adapter to use other classic glass. He used a Kiron 24mm f/2 and Pentax Super Takumar 55/1.8. I’ll have more examples of 42mm adapter video in another post.

X-Ray Photography As Art

Some of these images are really cool. They aren’t exactly what I gravitate toward in photography, but I like these a lot: X-Ray Photography

“So to capture human forms, Veasey works with either skeletons in rubber suits (normally used to train radiologists) or cadavers that have been donated to science. When a corpse becomes available, he has at most eight hours to pose and shoot before rigor mortis sets in.”

I like the Boeing 777.
