Do you just take of the MD mount and bring on an M42-mount? Or is it more work.. sorry, I have no idea how to do this.
Does it matter which M42 mount you take (to get infinity focus with sony/minolta)?

Moritz:

Basically a mount swap but this is to M42.
Haven't had the opportunity to work with a 100mm f/2.5 but is probably possible to do the same.

Hi Pete,
this is finally a solution to adapt my old 85/1.7. I'd love to use this lens again, on my A700 and later maybe on an A900.
Could you please tell me how you did that? I have never done something like this before, so I might give it to someone who has more experience than I have.
Other question: Do you think this might work with the MD 2.5/100mm too?
Thank you so much,
Moritz
