Chipping 55mm f/1.2 Dandelion

(1/9) > >>

Erik Lund:
I have given in to chipping the 55mm f/1.2 with a Dandelion CPU,,, There are not much room for the block but fortunately the light baffle is integrated with the F-Mount so gives an opportunity to use it as an fixation base for a cut down Dandelion block.


There will need to be cut into the rear lens element similar to the cut for the aperture lever, so not into the image circle, out of focus Bokeh highlights will be unaffected ;)


Here shot of work in progress on the 55mm f/1,2


Will try and fix Bjørns broken 50mm f/1.2 in a similar fashion since it hopefully will be stronger than the first attempt at cutting up the Dandelion for these super fast lenses,,,

Bjørn Rørslett:
You are indeed a brave man, Erik !! Kudos also to Chris for being willing to sacrifice his lens ...

There is even hope for a chipped future for my broken 50/1.2 - better and better.

chris dees:
 nah.... not sacrifizing. I have more than enough faith in Erik's craftmanship. ;D

Looking very good!

We wait in awe, but I am sure there will be enough cooling liquid to make it work ... 8)
