Yeah, it's me. Been on a kick to convert SLR lenses to RF coupled M-Mount. Canon 50/1.4, Pentax 50/1.4, Konica 50/1.7, and Minolta 50/1.4.

Wide-open on the M Monochrom.

How it was done.

The Canon 50/1.4 FL-Mount is a 7 element in 5 group, circa 1968. Same formula as the FD mount 50/1.4. Very low spherical aberration, was 2nd to the Aspherical F1.2 50/1.2 Noctilux in a 1976 test of thirty-two 50mm lenses. This is most likely due to it's long optical path, it is a big lens. About 1% of the cost of the Noctilux.
