Canon 8mm Bayonet Mount to D-Mount Converter (prototype) by super8man

Last crawled date: 4 years, 7 months ago

This mount allows you to retrofit Canon bayonet mount 8mm lenses (produced in 1957) to common D-mount adapters that will fit popular digital SLR cameras. The lenses work best with Pentax Q digital cameras. Please feel free to update this print with d-mount threads. You will have to make the shaft longer to gently use a tap/die set to create some threads. Otherwise you can use tape to secure the mount to the lens and adapter plate. Be careful since PLA can shear when in use if the lens gets knocked 90-degrees to the shooting axis. In case you were interested in the lenses, I have a write up of them and the original cameras, here: http://super8man.filmshooting.com/super8_44.html
Good luck! Let me know on any mods.
