Hi All,
I have invested in the Inon LD series for close up and wide angle lenses. The LD bayonet system so far has a limited camera compatibility and I am wondering if there is the possibility to convert the following lenses; UCL-165LD, UWL-H100LD to another mount such as the AD mount or 67mm.
I have taken a close look at my lenses and can see that the bayonet ring is retained onto the main body of the lens by 6 easily removable screws. It kind of makes me think that Inon designed them to have identical lenses with changeable mounts.
I have studied the images on Inon's home page and see that several of the lenses are identical apart from the mount.
i.e. the UWL-100 28M67 lens looks virtually identical to the UWL-H100LD
They do have a couple of specific adapters but none that cover what I am looking to do. Also, I realize that it is not just the mount but the optics have to be compatible as well - I am just trying to expand my possible camera choice should a need arise.
Any experiences?
