OM Zuiko 8mm Circular Fisheye and Rokkor MD 16mm Converted to M42

Custom made mount swap for the Zuiko 8mm Circular Fisheye.

Non destructive conversion aloows return of this fine lens to the OM mount if desired.

Minolta 16mm MD Rokkor Fisheye converted to M42. This conversion is non reversable becauseof the necessary changes to the mount and aperture preset cam housing.
An IR filter is added to the moving filter array inside the lens.
