I found this video showing the conversion of Minolta lenses to work on Canon EOS cameras. Here he is converting a Minolta MD Rokkor-X 50 1.4.

 Minolta MD Rokkor-X 50mm f/1.4 conversion to Canon EOS from motleypixel on Vimeo.

I previously posted a video by the same person on converting a PF 58:

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.

Yes, another video brought to my attention by Victor Khong.

This one is a good race video from two Canon 5DMarkII cameras that were hand held with a 50 mm 1.2 for night shots, a 24-105 for in the pits and a 300 for driving shots.
