 p.2 #9 · Show your Rokkor 58 1.2 images! | |
Personally, DON"T SHAVE THE MIRROR. The Rokkor is sought after specifically because it is a "old" lens design, with no floating element movements. So, this means that you can have accurate sharpness at some distance with the lens at a non-specified distance from the negative. This in turn means that you can have the lens be 1 or 2 mm's further than it was design, and all you will have is EQUALLY sharp images ( compared to original specs), lacking infinity focus. In most cases, this lens has a focus adjustment ring in the front that can correct for most of what the 5d makes you lose, but just assume that you will not need to focus out past 20 meters. I use it on a 5d and 5dII, and it works like a charm like this. This is of course up for specific body and lens variation and you are always best off testing the camera by "bulb" exposing the camera, sans lens, and then mounting the lens, and releasing the shutter, which allows the mirror to return through the full movement without any pressure bearing on the mirror assembly, so if there is a block, you have a FAR lesser risk of damage.
