Hi Dirk,

I wrote about using an adapter in Issue 16 of Club Rollei User:

http://rollei.org.uk/2010/01/club-rollei-user-issue-16/

There is a problem with using a chip – it needs to be situated where the 
stop-down pin is on the QBM lenses. Hence a manufactured one does not seem to 
be on the market. I have thought about Aralditeing a chip at the bottom of the 
mount but have not got around to it yet. You have to stop down the lens 
manually anyway so this would not necessarily be a problem...

Regards

John

Thanks for this information, Pierre.

Can you tell which adapter you haveß

I heard that most adapters do not work with the 1,8 50 Planar as the back of 
the lens goes too far into the adapter.

Dirk

Hello,

There are 2 kinds of adapter: with or without the AF chip. Without, you're on 
your own for the focusing. With, you get the little red box to confirm where 
you're in focus.

The chip is available on its own if needed. I have one without and it works 
quite well, I have tried it with the 55/1.4, 50/1.8, 85/2.8 and some non-Rollei 
28-70 macro lens (don't remember the brand). They all worked fine on my 5d and 
1d. No exposure problem. When I tried it on the 450d of a friend of mine, it 
seems it didn't like the all-metal adapter and started to blink ...

I have been told as well that some lenses may hit the mirror but it seems I 
have none of them.

So your mileage may vary.

Pierre

Hello,

has somebody experience to use our loved SL35 Rollei lenses with QBM at Digital 
Cameras?

I just bought an adapter to use on Olympus FourThirds, but I did not yet 
receive it to test it.

Adaption should also work to Canon, but some adapters allow no infinity 
focusing while I also read that some lenses got so deep back at infinity that 
the mirror of the Canon  would touch the back of the lens.

Any reports of own experience and also recommendations for adapters and best 
camera bodies combinations to be used are appreciated.

Yes I know, finally this is then no more a Rolleiflex.
But maybe using a Carl Zeiss Rollei 1.4/85 at a Canon will finally let us 
continue to use some good Rollei staff!


;-)

Dirk
