Mount 0113.jpg

Since the original MD rear mount assembly has the aperture cam mounted to the under side
and also forms part of the aperture ring mounting, the MD lugs were removed and about 1mm was turned off of the rear plane. Additionally, the center part was reduced forming a step to accept the lugs from a turned down AF T mount. The AF mount lug ring was bonded to the MD mount with industrial epoxy.

Hi Pete, I'm attempting this conversion myself. I'm just wondering what's the overall depth from the base of the md plate to the top of the mount bayonet? Did you have to play with the inf-focus at all?
