Lauder says 16/06/2009 6:48 pm (2 years ago):

The_Saint asked a question 17/06/2009 5:03 pm (2 years ago):

Hi is the M42 mount a screw or bayonet mount? it looks very interesting, I'm wondering if it would be possible to copy a batch of slides easily with this? and how would the quality compare if doing it on a Canon D30 to what you'd get on a mid range film scanner?
Also what was it like using with D30 for macro photos?

Lauder says 17/06/2009 5:20 pm (2 years ago):

The_Saint,

I have used this with an EOS3, 350d and 30d and the result have been incredible for macro shots. allows you to get far great detail than a normal macro lens and far more versatile.

For slides it all depends of the light, I found the quality to be acceptable for up to 12x10 prints. but the main thing to ensure is that the light is correct so for best results shoot facing a window on an overcast day.

M42 Mount is a common screw mount, with which you get adapters to suit Canon, Nikon, Sony etc.. These are available in most camera shots for about a tenner. Jessops Online has a full range.

Any interest? Bargain at €150

CabanSail asked a question 28/06/2009 11:49 am (2 years ago):

I am actually interested in this but after recent purchases my budget would only be around the €100 mark as the Minister of Finance has sent a firm edict.

Lauder says 28/06/2009 3:56 pm (2 years ago):

CabanSail,

I am afraid I would want €150, Im not that pushed about selling it and would keep it unless I got the asking price.

Kilree asked a question 02/07/2009 9:21 am (2 years ago):

Are you selling the Canon adaptor with the kit? Presume it will work on a 5D.

Lauder says 02/07/2009 11:42 am (2 years ago):

Kilree,

I have a Canon adapter which I can sell to you separately, if you wish. And It will of course work with a 5D.

NeVeR asked a question 03/07/2009 1:39 pm (2 years ago):

can you post some of the shoots you got with it,

spav asked a question 04/07/2009 12:03 am (2 years ago):

I have a Nikon D2x - what would I need to make this work?

Very interested in principle, providing I wouldn't have to buy a load of other stuff!

nick 56 asked a question 30/07/2009 9:43 pm (2 years ago):

Is this still for sale? i ask as it is some time since it was offerd/posted and I am interested.

Lauder says 07/10/2009 5:56 pm (2 years ago):

Yes, these are still available. I have been away for a few months so only catching up with these ads now.

damspider asked a question 07/10/2009 8:43 pm (2 years ago):

hi ill offer 120 euro for it plus the adapter so it will fit my 30d.?

Lauder says 07/10/2009 9:06 pm (2 years ago):

damspider,

I can't let it go that cheap, i'd rather keep it for that.

How about, the best I can do is €140 and I will through the adapter (worth €40quid) in for free.
