Gerrit Fahr Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 I have two Zeiss 10-100 T2 lenses w/ B-Mounts that I am looking to convert to cover S16 and to a PL mount. I've read here that Optex & Abakus used to offer this service and/or kit, but it doesn't seem like either are offered anymore. Is anyone familiar with a way to have this done now?

Travis Shannon Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 I think Charles Pickel over at Serious Gear can do it but I haven’t personally spoken to him about it so not 100 percent on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Tyler Purcell Posted May 7, 2021 Premium Member Share Posted May 7, 2021 It's just a replacement rear element that magnifies the glass slightly. The problem is finding someone who has one. I'm not sure if anyone makes one for that lens anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Drysdale Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 It's listed on the Abakus web site, trying contacting them to check on availability. http://www.abakus.co.uk/Format_Converters.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! I reached out and Charles is in the process of offering this service again. 17 hours ago, Brian Drysdale said: It's listed on the Abakus web site, trying contacting them to check on availability. http://www.abakus.co.uk/Format_Converters.htm While Abakus still has it listed on their website, they no longer offer the kit unfortunately. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't a good idea anyway. You don't want an external adaptor, you want it to be integrated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you looked at the link you’d see Abacus supplied the same thing Optex did, a hard conversion with replacement aperture and zoom scales. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah yes, I didn't see that on first glance, I see it now! thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
